This study aimed to examine factors affecting radiation protection behaviors among emergency room nurses by assessing knowledge about radiation protection and attitude towards radiation protection, employing a cross-sectional design. Subjects were a convenience sample of 129 nurses working in the emergency rooms of three advanced general hospitals. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. There were significant relations between knowledge about radiation protection and attitude towards radiation protection (r = 0.34, p < 0.001), knowledge about radiation protection and radiation protection behaviors (r = 0.37, p < 0.001), and attitude towards radiation protection and radiation protection behaviors (r = 0.33, p < 0.001). The factors affecting radiation protection behaviors were radiation protection knowledge (β = 0.12, p = 0.045), attitude towards radiation protection (β = 0.17, p = 0.009), the experience of radiation protection education (β = 0.27, p < 0.001), and wearing of protective equipment (β = 0.29, p < 0.001). The governments, hospital administrators, and radiation protection agencies should strengthen their radiation defense environment to protect emergency room nurses from radiation. Research and development of radiation defense equipment and the medical examination of emergency room nurses should be carried out, radiation defense behavior protocols should be developed, radiation defense education opportunities should be provided, and the use of defense equipment should be encouraged.

Emergency Room Nurses

Emergency Room (IGD) as one of the first entry points for patients to the hospital, will indirectly provide an overview of hospital services as a whole. Data on emergency visits of patients at Bhayangkara Tebing Tinggi Hospital in the January - May 2020 period were 2,685 patients and experienced a significant decrease every month. The research objective was to analyze the factors that influence the performance of emergency room nurses at the Tebing Tinggi Bhayangkara General Hospital in 2020. The research design used a descriptive analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. The population in the study were all nurses who served in the IGD at the Bhayangkara Tebing Tinggi Hospital in 2020 totaling 32 people. The sample uses the otal population. Data analysis used univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis using logistic regression tests.The results of the study using logistic regression showed the sig. each variable, namely the variable ability (0.578), skills (0.011), motivation (0.129), reward (0.013), infrastructure (0.855) and the value of Exp (B) the largest = 26.633 in the variable reward. The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant effect of skills and rewards on the performance of nurses in the IGD at the Bhayangkara Tebing Tinggi Hospital and the variables that have no significant effect are ability, motivation and infrastructure.

Aim of the study: To assess prevalence and risk factors of low back pain (LBP) in emergency room nurses in Krakow. Materials and methods: The study comprised 30 randomly selected full time emergency nurses aged 25-58. Their BMI was calculated and measurements of linear segmental lumbar spine flexion-extension motion were performed. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the subjective LBP degree. The self-estimated physical disability caused by LBP was assessed by means of the Roland- Morris Low Back Pain and Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), whereas physical activity by means of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to determine a linear association between variables involved in the research. Results: Statistically significant correlations between BMI, LBP and the level of disability as well as between the pain intensity and the time spent in a sitting position were revealed by RMDQ. Significant correlations between the self-estimated LBP and spinal flexion in the sagittal plane, lateral flexion to the right in the frontal plane and twist to the right in the transverse plane were found. Conclusions: Moderate LBP in emergency ward nurses, which is commonly observed, slightly decreased their quality of life. A high level of physical activity and limited range of flexion were discovered in the sagittal plane. Due to the existing correlations between BMI and LBP, between the degree of disability and the intensity of pain and the range of motion, it seems appropriate to include this occupational group in the back pain prevention programme.
