Objective: This study aims to determine the attitude of operating room nurses to radiation exposure.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 70 nurses working in the operating room of two university hospitals belonging to a university in Istanbul. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS 23. The protocol of the study was registered in clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04703933).
Results: There was a significant relationship between radiation protection training and the use of protective equipment (p<0.05).
Conclusions: It was found that the nurses working in the operating room had insufficient radiation protection training and there was a positive relationship between radiation protection training and protection behaviour. Seminars should be organised to increase the level of knowledge of nurses about radiation protection practices.
