Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is becoming increasingly popular in oncology. This study endeavors to scrutinize the radiation protection knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) exhibited by healthcare professionals involved in this imaging modality.
This cross-sectional study was conducted between September 23, 2023, and October 23, 2023, at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, and the People's Hospital of Liuan. Demographic data and KAP scores were acquired through the administration of questionnaires.
A total of 450 healthcare professionals participated in the study. Correlation analyses revealed significant positive correlations between knowledge and attitude, knowledge and practice, as well as attitude and practice. Multivariate analysis indicated that being over 40 years old was independently associated with good knowledge, as well as positive attitudes. Occupations as nurses and having no contact with SPECT patients were independently associated with a lower level of knowledge, as well as negative attitudes. Furthermore, being female, having an occupation as a nurse, and not having received relevant training were independently associated with negative practice.
Oncology healthcare professionals had suboptimal knowledge, negative attitude and inactive practice towards radiation protection in SPECT.
单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）在肿瘤学领域越来越受欢迎。本研究旨在审视参与这种成像方式的医护人员所表现出的辐射防护知识、态度和实践（KAP）。
这项横断面研究于2023年9月23日至2023年10月23日在安徽医科大学第二附属医院、安徽医科大学第一附属医院和六安市人民医院进行。通过问卷调查获取人口统计学数据和KAP分数。
共有450名医护人员参与了该研究。相关性分析显示，知识与态度、知识与实践以及态度与实践之间存在显著的正相关。多变量分析表明，40岁以上与良好的知识以及积极的态度独立相关。护士职业以及未接触过SPECT患者与较低的知识水平以及消极态度独立相关。此外，女性、护士职业以及未接受过相关培训与消极实践独立相关。
肿瘤学医护人员对SPECT辐射防护的知识掌握欠佳、态度消极且实践不积极。
