|
|
Objectives: To establish foundations for reinforcing radiation safety management in dental facilities.
Methods: This study investigated the status of radiation safety management among radiation workers in dental facilities nationwide for a period of six months from July to December in 2018 and analyzed the factors that affect their compliance with radiation safety measures.
Results: Compliance with safety measures was higher in the Honam region ( p <0.01) and Yeongnam region ( p <0.01), in university hospitals and general hospitals ( p <0.05), along with an increasing perception of the importance of safety management ( p <0.001).
Conclusions: It is important to strengthen education about radiation safety management, develop a radiation safety guideline that could be reasonably applied to dental institutions, and implement relevant regulations or legal grounds to promote compliance with these measures.
