    Radiology Technologists' Perspective on Medical Imaging Device Use and Related Technologies: a Cross-sectional Survey with Respect to Hospital Type
    (2022-09-01) AKYURT, NURAN; Akyurt N.
    This study aimed to evaluate radiology technicians\" view on the use of medical imaging devices and related technology. A total of 142 radiology technicians from Turkey were included on a voluntary basis in this cross-sectional questionnaire-based study. The questionnaire form elicited items on sociodemographic and occupational characteristics and personal opinions regarding the use of medical imaging devices and related technology. Majority of technicians agreed or strongly agreed that they prefer the latest technology medical imaging devices (32.4 and 54.2%) and there is an increase in the number of medical imaging devices (36.6 and 35.9%) and medical imaging examinations (32.4 and 43.7%), while the growing societal demands in field of health have a role in the increase in the number of medical imaging devices (34.5 and 32.4%). However, a relatively lower percentage of technicians agreed or strongly agreed that the latest technology medical imaging devices should be purchased no matter how much it costs (31.7 and 33.8%) and the yearly increase in the number of imaging examinations indicates provision of an improved healthcare (21.1 and 23.2%). A higher agreement was reported by private hospital (3.9 +/- 1.1, p = 0.035) and university hospital (4.1 +/- 1.1, p = 0.009) employees vs. state hospital employees (3.4 +/- 1.3) on the growing societal demands in field of health to have a role in the increase in the number of medical imaging devices. Apart from this, no significant difference was noted in opinions of technicians on the use of medical imaging devices and related technology with respect to hospital types. Our findings indicate that radiology technicians report a considerable imaging workload volume and a preference for working with higher number of medical imaging devices particularly those with the latest technology, whereas they also emphasize that the yearly increase in the number of imaging examinations does not indicate provision of an improved healthcare, and the cost should always be a criterion when purchasing the latest technology devices.

    Health-related quality of life among radiology technicians in Turkish hospitals: a cross sectional study
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) AKYURT, NURAN; Akyurt N.
    Background: Health related quality of life (HRQoL), despite its potential bi-directional interaction with occupational risks, has not been extensively addressed among radiology technicians. Objective: To evaluate HRQoL among radiology technicians in relation to sociodemographic and occupational factors. Methods: A total of 115 radiology technicians who were employed in three big hospitals located in Istanbul province were included on a voluntary basis in this cross sectional questionnaire-based study conducted between June 2019 and August 2019. The questionnaire form elicited items on socio-demographic characteristics, occupational characteristics and the 36-item Short-form Health Survey (SF-36), respectively. Results: Overall, 94.8% of technicians confirmed previous training on radiation protection and safety, while 92.2% noted distrust in their knowledge on radiation protection and patient dosage. In addition, 47.8% of technicians noted seldom use of radiation protection measures and 55.7% noted distrust in reliability of radiation exposure measurements. The multiple regression analysis revealed that older age, female gender, working at a university hospital and seldom use of protection significantly predicted poor HRQoL (p = 0.042 to 0.001), while working in interventional radiology and having trust in radiation exposure measurements predicted better HRQoL (p = 0.006 to 0.001) in terms of certain domains. Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings revealed lack of trust in current self-knowledge on radiation protection and safety by majority of radiology technicians and seldom use of radiation protection measures by half of them, despite previously trained on radiation protection and safety. Certain occupational factors and factors related to radiation protection and safety were also amongst the significant determinants of poor HRQoL. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

    Cam Tavan Sendromunun İncelenmesi: “Radyoloji Örneği”
    (2020-01-31) AKYURT, NURAN; NURAN AKYURT;Büşra TUNCER
    İş hayatında çalışanların yönetsel pozisyonlara gelememelerindeki -bireysel, örgütsel ve toplumsal etmenlerin biraraya gelmesiyle oluşan- görünmez engeller “cam tavan” olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de kamu veözel sağlık kuruluşlarının radyoloji departmanlarında kadın radyoloji çalışanlarının yükselmelerini engelleyenfaktörler ile ilgili katılımcıların -sosyo-demografik özellikleri göz önünde bulundurularak- farkındalığını, algı vetutumlarını, cam tavan faktörleri ve cam tavan farkındalığı ölçekleri ile tespit etmeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışma ileilgili tüm sonuç ve değerlendirmelerin etkisi, anket uygulanan 316 kişinin algı ve tutumlarıyla sınırlıdır. Camtavan/cam tavan sendromu üzerine çalışmalar birçok alanda yapılmış olup, radyoloji ünitelerinde, bu çalışma ilebu konuya ilk defa yer verilmektedir.

    Job satisfaction and perceived stress among radiology technicians: a questionnaire survey in relation to sociodemographic and occupational risk factors
    (SPRINGER, 2021) AKYURT, NURAN; Akyurt, Nuran
    Purpose To evaluate job satisfaction and perceived stress among radiology technicians in relation to sociodemographic and occupational risk factors. Methods A total of 207 radiology technicians were included in this questionnaire-based study. The questionnaire elicited items on sociodemographic and occupational characteristics along with Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) and Perceived Stress (PSS) scales to assess job satisfaction and the perceived stress, respectively. Results Multivariate analysis revealed that more years in practice (B: - 4.80, BCa 95% CI - 7.26 to - 2.47), being uncomfortable with working in a radiation environment (B: - 6.30, BCa 95% CI - 9.62 to - 2.61) and the use of public transport to get to work (B: - 3.62, BCa 95% CI - 6.53 to - 1.03) were significant predictors of poorer job satisfaction, whereas break time (B: 8.54, BCa 95% CI 4.63-12.14) and following scientific literature (B: 8.32, BCa 95% CI 3.37-12.89) significantly predicted the better job satisfaction. Being satisfied with the current job (p < 0.015) and high-income class (p = 0.005) were associated with lower perceived stress levels, while higher perceived stress level (B: - 0.48, BCa 95% CI - 0.66 to - 0.32) was also a significant predictor of poorer job satisfaction. Conclusion In conclusion, our findings revealed job satisfaction and perceived stress of radiology technicians to be at moderate levels and to be negatively correlated with each other. Our findings emphasize the importance of continuing education, in-service refresh training and continuing practice of regularly updating self-knowledge along with balance workload, income and safety at work to improve job satisfaction among radiology technicians.
