Abstract

This study, conducted at Iqraa International Hospital in Calicut, India, utilised a descriptive research design to assess radiology technicians' knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning radiation safety. Results revealed commendably high levels of knowledge (average score of 0.79) and practice (average score of 0.76), along with very positive attitudes (average score of 4.27) towards safety measures. However, a slight gap of 3.1% between knowledge and practice scores suggests room for improvement in translating knowledge into practical application. Moreover, a more significant gap of 9.15% between attitude and practice scores indicates the need for better alignment between positive attitudes and their practical implementation. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening the link between knowledge and practice while fostering a unified approach to implementing radiation safety measures, ultimately enhancing safety for healthcare professionals and patients alike.
