Abstract:
In this descriptive cross-sectional study by census method, the performance of 116 radiographers in the target centers was evaluated in relation to the observance of radiation protection principles with respect to patients, patient companion and radiographers. The data collection tool was a checklist containing 34 principles of radiation protection that were used after confirmation of its continuity and justifiability. The results showed that only in (39.2%) 45 radiographers the observance rate of the principles of radiation protection was acceptable. The highest and lowest levels in which radiographers observed protective principles were observance of protective principles with respect to themselves (60.8%) and protective principles respect of the patient companion (6.3%), respectively. According to the findings, radiation protection principles are not systematically designed, implemented, controlled and monitored by radiographers, and less than half of the radiographers observe the protection principles at the optimal level.
