Ionizing rays used in radiology devices are believed to affect the body tissues of radiology department employees. This study was aimed at comparing the effects of long-term exposure to X-rays on the blood cells of staff working in the radiology departments of several hospitals in the Sulaimani City/Kurdistan region government.
This cross-sectional study was conducted from 2021 to 2022 on 250 employees-including radiologists, radiographers, and other medical staff such as physicians or nurses-in the radiology departments of hospitals in the city of Sulaimani, Kurdistan region government. Data were collected with a questionnaire completed by the participants after verbal consent was provided. Blood samples were collected from 250 radiology staff and sent to a laboratory for measurement of blood parameters. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS version 26 software, and relationships in the data were investigated with descriptive statistical tests, Student's t test, and ANOVA.
Most male participants were radiographers with a diploma degree. A statistically significant difference in RBC, HCT %, MCV, and PCT blood parameters was observed between sexes. Moreover, statistically significant differences were observed in RDW-CV and RDW-SD between occupational groups; in mean WBC and lymphocytes among staff who were current, never, or former smokers; and in mean WBC among employees who were current, never, or former drinkers (p < 0.01).
Blood parameters such as RDW-CV and RDW-SD were concluded to be affected by job type and X-ray exposure duration.
放射设备中使用的电离射线被认为会影响放射科工作人员的身体组织。本研究旨在比较长期暴露于X射线对苏莱曼尼市/库尔德地区政府几家医院放射科工作人员血细胞的影响。
本横断面研究于2021年至2022年对库尔德地区政府苏莱曼尼市医院放射科的250名员工进行，包括放射科医生、放射技师以及其他医务人员，如内科医生或护士。在获得口头同意后，由参与者填写问卷收集数据。从250名放射科工作人员中采集血样，并送往实验室测量血液参数。收集的数据在SPSS 26版软件中进行分析，数据关系通过描述性统计检验、学生t检验和方差分析进行研究。
大多数男性参与者是拥有文凭的放射技师。观察到男女之间红细胞、血细胞比容百分比、平均红细胞体积和血小板压积血液参数存在统计学显著差异。此外，职业组之间的红细胞分布宽度变异系数和红细胞分布宽度标准差存在统计学显著差异；当前吸烟者、从不吸烟者或曾经吸烟者的白细胞和淋巴细胞平均值存在差异；当前饮酒者、从不饮酒者或曾经饮酒者的白细胞平均值存在差异（p < 0.01）。
得出红细胞分布宽度变异系数和红细胞分布宽度标准差等血液参数受工作类型和X射线暴露持续时间影响的结论。
