  1. RADIATION SAFETY IN UROLOGY W.KERKENI ¹, H.KAMOUN², A.BOUZOUITA¹, L.CHARFI², A.HAMMOU², M.CHEBIL¹ ¹Urology department, Charles Nicolle hospital, Tunis, Tunisia ²National center for radiation safety, Children’s hospital, Tunis, Tunisia VR20

  2. OBJECTIVES To search for a statistical correlation : - between the level of knowledge in radiation protection of operating room staff and his behavior towards X-rays - and between the score of knowledge on the one hand and seniority and grade other part.

  3. MATERIAL AND METHODS (1) • Descriptive, cross-sectional study • Operating room, Charles Nicolle Hospital of Tunis, April 2011 • 32 SUBJECTS :

  4. MATERIAL AND METHODS (2) • Self-questionnaire pre-set to all the staff • 26 questions on global knowledge in radiation safety 10 questions on behavior towards X-rays • Overall score of knowledge for each • Analyzing the results: SPSS

  5. RESULTS (1) • Medianlength of X-ray exposure : 9 years(3 months – 32 years) • Medianoverall score of knowledge : 13/26 (5/26 – 22/26) Average = 12,56 SD = 3,741 N = 32 Staff Overallscore of knowledge

  6. RESULTS (2) • Meanoverall score of knowledge : medical staff > paramedical staff (p = 0,02) medicalstudents > urologists Meanoverall score of knowledge urologistsmedicalstudentstechnicians nurses

  7. RESULTS (3) • No statisticalcorrelationbetween : length of X-ray exposure - overall score of knowledge • No statisticalcorrelationbetween : - seniority or grade - behaviortowards X-rays - overall score of knowledge - behavior

  8. CONCLUSION Level of knowledge in radiation protection : insufficient (paramedical staff +++)  more training sessions on radiologicalrisk and safetybehaviortowards X-rays
