초록

우리 인간의 주변에는 다양한 방사성 물질이 존재하고 있다. 최근 들어서는 삶의 질 향상과 함께 건강에 대한 관심도 높아지면서 방사선을 활용한 검사 등 또한 많아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이런 방사선을 생활 관련 방사선으로 정의하고, 이에 대한 지식을 측정할 수 있는 측정도구를 개발해 보았다. 그 결과 신뢰성이 확보되는 18개 문항을 개발하였다. 나아가 이를 이용하여 생활방사선 안전 관련 지식에 대한 실태를 분석해 보았다. 그 결과 방사선 관련 교육을 받은 그룹이 그렇지 않은 그룹에 비하여 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 점수를 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 통해서 보았을 때 평소 안전 관련 관심도가 높을수록 생활방사선 안전 관련 지식이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 이를 토대로 현대인들의 안전을 위하여 학교 교육과정에서 방사선 안전 관련 교수-학습이 이루어져할 필요성이 제안되었다.

Various radioactive materials exist around us. In recent years, as interest in health has increased along with the improvement of the quality of life, examinations using radiation are also increasing. This research defined aforementioned radiation as a living radiation and developed a measurement to measure general knowledge people have on it. Eighteen reliable items were developed; current status on general knowledge regarding the safety of living radiation was analyzed using the items. As a result, a group with radiation-related education got statistically higher score than a group without such education. Correlation analysis and regression analysis showed that higher attention on usual safety leads into the greater knowledge on safety of living radiation. Therefore, this research shed lights on the necessity of radiation safety-related education in current educational course in schools.
