Abstract

Život na zemlji razvio se i razvija se uz prisustvo zračenja. Zračenje je energija koja putuje kroz prostor i prisutna je svugdje oko nas. Život na zemlji se razvijao u okruženju ionizirajućeg zračenja. Otkrićem ionizirajućeg zračenja započinje značajno razdoblje u medicinskoj dijagnostici i liječenju. Otkrićem rentgenskog zračenja i njegovom upotrebom u medicini, raste i svijest o njegovim štetnim učincima na ljudski organizam. Sve veća uporaba ionizirajućeg zračenja povećava mogućnost nastanka štetnosti opasnih po zdravlje, ukoliko se ono ne koristi pravilno. Medicinskim rentgenom dolazi se do otkrića problema odnosno dijagnosticiranja (kao što je zubni rentgen ili rentgen u ortopediji i traumatologiji), a također se može koristiti radi liječenja bolesti. Svakodnevnim razvojem medicinske radiologije dolazi se do novih spoznaja vezanih za dijagnosticiranje i liječenje, a samim time i do usavršavanja pojedinih postupaka. Medicinske sestre/tehničari koji su svakodnevno ili povremeno izloženi tijekom svog rada ionizirajućem zračenju mogu smanjiti opasnost nepoželjnih posljedica od zračenja odgovarajućom zaštitom na radu koja će spriječiti nepotrebnu izloženost velikim dozama. Dobra stručna edukacija prvi je preduvjet zaštite čiji je cilj ne samo dobro poznavanje posljedica zračenja već i svih načina, sredstava i metoda za smanjivanje izloženosti zračenju. Zaštita na radu medicinskih sestara/tehničara uključuje dobru izobrazbu, korištenje zaštitne odjeće, nošenje dozimetara i sistematske preglede.

Abstract (english)

Life on Earth has developed and is developing in the presence of radiation. Radiation is the energy that travels through space and is present everywhere around us. Life on Earth developed in the environment of ionizing radiation. The discovery of ionizing radiation begins a significant period in medical diagnosis and treatment. By discovering x-rays and its use in medicine, an awareness of its adverse effects on the human body is growing. Increased use of ionizing radiation increases the likelihood of harmful health hazards if it is not used properly. Medical X-rays come up with problem finding or diagnosis (such as dental x-ray or x-rays in orthopaedics and traumatology) and can also be used to treat the disease. Everyday development of medical radiology comes up with new findings related to diagnosis and treatment, and thus to the improvement of individual procedures. Nurses / technicians who are exposed on a daily or periodic basis during their work with ionizing radiation may reduce the risk of undesirable consequences of radiation by appropriate workplace protection that will prevent unnecessary exposure to large doses. Good professional education is the first precondition for protection, whose aim is not just to know the consequences of radiation but also all the means, means and methods for reducing radiation exposure. Protection of nurses / technicians' work includes good training, wearing protective clothing, carrying dosimeters and systematic examinations.
