Overview

Randomized controlled trial evaluates increased safety and knowledge in health professionals after toolbox training, indicating positive outcomes.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the effect of toolbox training on knowledge and safety behaviors in healthcare professionals working in radiation environments.
  • Conducted as a randomized controlled trial with 63 participants from radiology units.
  • Participants were divided into an intervention group (33) and a control group (30).
  • The intervention group received brief, face-to-face training with visual aids in their work environment.
  • Data was collected before training, after training, and at two follow-up periods.
  • Significant increase in radiation protection knowledge in the intervention group (p<0.001).
  • Improvement in practice scores among the intervention group, maintained over time.
  • Increased adverse event reporting in the intervention group, indicating heightened safety awareness.
