Abstract(s)
As fontes de radiação são utilizadas em todo o mundo para uma grande variedade de fins benéficos sendo o uso médico responsável por 98% da exposição a fontes artificias. Os técnicos de radiologia são os profissionais com exposição mais prolongada à radiação ionizante, em contexto hospitalar. Desta forma e dado a lacuna de informação existente sobre a temática da perceção do risco, esta investigação pretende compreender as diferentes perceções dos técnicos de radiologia face à exposição a radiações ionizantes e as diferenças de perceção em função de algumas variáveis, como idade, sexo, local de trabalho, tempo de experiência profissional entre outras. Como metodologia optou-se pela abordagem qualitativa, visto ser de carácter indutivo, privilegiando a compreensão da subjetividade humana, através da aplicação de um questionário que pretende determinar a perceção dos técnicos de radiologia perante o risco da exposição a radiações ionizantes. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório seccional através de análise quantitativa para as perguntas fechadas e qualitativa para as perguntas abertas. Com este estudo foi possível determinar que os técnicos de radiologia estão conscientes e sensibilizados para a importância da formação na temática da proteção radiológica, a importância da utilização do dosimetro, a importância do acesso ao registo de dose de dosimetria e a importância na utilização de EPI quando expostos à radiação. Com os dados obtidos sugere-se que as instituições de saúde se envolvam mais na promoção da qualidade de vida dos seus trabalhadores, melhorando as condições físicas e humanas, assim como investindo na formação dos profissionais. Esta inverstigação permitiu uma tomada de consciência e um alertar para fatos importantes da realidade, que de certa forma pode contribuir para uma melhor orientação de intervenção nesta área tão específica.
Radiation resources have been used in the world for a great range of beneficial ends, being medical use responsible for 98% of the exposure to artificial resources. In hospital context, radiology technicians are the population subjected to more extended exposition to ionizing radiation. Therefore and because of the lacking information on the thematic of risk perception, this investigation aims to understand the various perceptions of radiology technicians towards the exposure to ionizing radiation and various perceptions according to some variables such as, age, sex, location of work, professional experience, among others, through the obtained results. As methodology we have chosen the qualitative approach, since it’s inductive character privileges the understanding of human subjectivity, through the application of a survey intending to determine the perception of radiology technicians towards the risk of radiation exposure. This is a sectional exploratory study with quantitative analyses for close-ended questions and qualitative analyses for opened questions. With this study, it was possible to determine that the radiology technicians are aware and percipient to the importance of education in the thematic of radiology protection, the importance of using dosimeter badges, the importance in having access to the dosimeter measurements and the importance of using personal protective clothing during the emission of radiation. With the obtained information, it is suggested that the health organizations should engage more in the development of life quality for their workers, improving physical and humane conditions, as well as providing appropriate education. This investigation allowed an awareness of the workers reality. In addition, can further contribute for a greater intervention in such a specific area.
