PMT-Based Radiation Safety Training for Nurses: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Sponsor: Necmettin Erbakan University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a Protection Motivation Theory (PMT)-based radiation protection training program on nurses' knowledge, awareness, motivation, and safety behaviors. The study includes 54 operating room nurses randomly assigned to experimental (n=27) and control (n=27) groups. The intervention targets both threat appraisal (perceived severity and vulnerability) and coping appraisal (response efficacy, self-efficacy, and response cost) processes. It is hypothesized that PMT-based training will improve nurses' radiation protection knowledge, increase awareness, strengthen motivation, and enhance safety behaviors. The findings are expected to contribute to nursing curricula, institutional radiation safety policies, and the development of a safety culture in healthcare settings.
