Attitudes and practices of radiation protection among Jordanian dental radiography practitioners.

Introduction: Varying radiation protection practices have been documented in the literature. This study aims to evaluate the attitudes and practices of dental radiography practitioners towards radiation protection in Jordan, as no data currently explores their understanding and practices in this area.

Methods: The survey involved 192 dental radiography practitioners.

Theory of optimising radiation protection among diagnostic radiographers depicted as a model.

Background: When radiation protection practices are suboptimal, it becomes necessary to take additional steps to optimise practices.

Aim: Therefore, this study aimed to develop a model to facilitate radiation protection among diagnostic radiographers.

Setting: The study was conducted in South Africa.

Concept analysis of 'Facilitating a transformative radiation protection environment'.

Introduction: Suboptimal radiation protection evidenced in literature necessitated the development of a theory to optimise radiation protection. To develop a theory, concept analysis of the central concept guiding the theory is required to provide explicit theoretical and operational definitions. This article presents the concept analysis of the central concept of 'facilitating a transformative radiation protection environment' used to develop a theory to optimise radiation protection.

Radiographers' perceptions on the quality of managing general radiographic paediatric examinations through the use of a reflective tool.

Introduction: Paediatric patients are a vulnerable population that require additional care by healthcare professionals. Quality managing these examinations ensures that effective and quality care is provided to individual patients, whilst encouraging consistency within the medical imaging department. This study explored radiographers' perspectives on quality management strategies of general radiographic paediatric examinations using a paediatric imaging reflective checklist.
