Description
Summary:Particular characteristics of psychological status of 50 female radiologists were being analyzed using data from their subjective assessments of heath condition, material wellbeing and risk factors for health danger. The control group consisted of female medical personnel whose work isn't connected with ionizing radiation sources. It was shown that situational and common anxiety in the main group and the control group didn't differ. But at the same time situational and common anxieties of the radiologists reliably increase with age and experience. The common anxiety is as higher as lower they evaluate their health. In the control group there is no such valuable dependence. Anxiety level of medical personnel in both polled groups doesn't depend on such characteristics of its social status as material wellbeing, housing conditions, etc.It is concluded that the classification and analyzing capacity (mental function) of radiologists decrease with age. However, this mental function increases with educational level.
