Abstract

This study was conducted to propose medical radioactive waste management methods by background factors of radioactive workers, their awareness of safety management and reduce the difficulty of self-disposal. A population of 102 radiotechnologist who work at hospital in Busan was the subject of this study and a survey was conducted to them. the analysis for the collected data used SPSS/PC+Win13 version and one-way, ANOVA was carried out of verify differences between the groups. The result showed that most of workers had correct awareness of radioactive waste management. Also, about the difficulty of self-disposal, legal procedures were mentioned most often, and as efficient improvement of management methods is concerned, changing the awareness of safety management and disposal was proposed. According to this study, the right way of managing medical radioactive waste is to change the awareness of radioactive workers by reinforcing regular training.

방사선작업종사의 배경인자에 따른 의료 방사성폐기물관리 방법 및 안전관련 인식 그리고 자체 처분실시에 따른 어려움과 개선방안을 제안하고자 본 연구를 진행 하였다. 모집단은 부산 경남소재 병원에 근무하는 방사선사 102명을 대상으로 설문을 통해 진행하였다. 회수된 자료에 대한 분석은 SPSS/PC+Win 13 버전을 사용하였으며, 집단 간 차이 검증을 위해 일원분산분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과, 방사성폐기물관리 인식에 있어서는 대부분 올바른 인식을 가지고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 효율적인 관리방안에 대한 개선점으로는 안전관리에 대한 인식 변화, 처리에 대한 인식 변화로 개선책을 제안 하였다. 올바른 의료방사선폐기물관리 방안은 주기적인 교육 강화를 통한 방사선종사자들의 올바른 인식변화로 분석되었다.
