Abstract

Diagnostic radiology services are an integral part of medical services that need special attention because they are useful in diagnosing, but also very dangerous for patients, officers and the environment. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors related to the personal absorbed dose of health workers This study was an observational study with cross sectional approach. This study conducted at private hospitals in Surabaya (Hospital A, B and C) and the population was 36 workers. Dependent variable in this study was personal absorbed dose while independent variable was gender, knowledge, attitude, age, education, study program, length of working, type of work, obedience in using personal protective equipment, presence of workers when rest time, average of treated patient by workers, dose limitation, x-ray, facility building, record and report, policy, and supervision. Result of linear regression test showed that there is five variable that its standardization coefficients are related to personal absorbed dose, such as length of work, age, policy and obedience in using radiation Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) completely (β 0,206, β 0,579, β - 0,716, β -0, 161 respecively) It is recommended for hospitals to make a supportive policy to reduce dose of exposure to health workers. It is necessary to supervise the completeness of using radiation Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
