1. Greater radiation protection knowledge was significantly correlated with more positive attitudes toward radiation safety among healthcare workers.
2. Knowledge accounted for 22% of the variance in radiation safety attitudes, underscoring the measurable influence of education on behavior.
3. Physicians and nurses demonstrated higher knowledge scores than support staff, indicating a need for targeted training in nonphysician groups.
4. Findings are most applicable to radiology, radiation oncology, interventional cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, orthopedic surgery, and other fluoroscopy-intensive disciplines.
5. Structured radiation safety education programs may enhance adherence to protection protocols and reduce occupational exposure risk across clinical settings.
