Introduction. The history of recommendations by the Polish Federation for Education in Diabetology dates back to 2006, when guidelines for nurses/midwifes working with diabetic patients were first drawn up. However, the development of nurses and midwifes? competences requires stronger actions that foster a transition from experience-based towards evidence-based practice.

Aim. The aim of this publication is to present a set of procedures describing nursing interventions in diabetes care, including currently available scientific evidence and clinical experience of specialists involved in the care of diabetic patients.

Material and methods. The study involved a literature review of selected areas of nursing practice in diabetes care. When compiling the material, the priority was to use data from (in order of significance): randomized controlled clinical trials and their meta-analyses, observational studies and other studies with lower levels of evidence.

Results. Based on an analysis of the collected material, 15 procedures and 2 guidelines have been developed, describing selected aspects of nursing interventions in diabetic patients. Each of the procedures details key recommendations on diabetes care, arranged in accordance of the significance ascribed to the scientific evidence analyzed.

Conclusions. The 2023 PFED guidelines on nursing diabetes care are the effect of the evaluation of the previous versions and comprise an updated, considerably more extensive, comprehensive and evidence-based set of practices. The major asset of these guidelines is their interdisciplinarity, reflected in the fact that the final version of the publication was approved by consultants in numerous nursing fields, a consultant in diabetology, and the President of the Polish Federation for Education in Diabetology, who all represent the medical community. The authors experience gained during work on international recommendations (New Insulin Delivery Recommendations) played an important role when formulating the present guidelines.
Comfort or discomfort for patients in palliative home care? – a pilot study
Authors: Czernecki Karol Tomasz , Ślusarska Barbara
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Ensuring comfort in patients in palliative home care is a difficult task. Care, in which patient’s comfort is fundamental, was fi rst introduced by Katharine Kolcaba.

Aim. Assessing comfort levels of patients in palliative home care, including selected determinants of this condition.

Material and methods. The study included 55 palliative care patients in home settings, receiving services provided by the home palliative care team and a group of 63 informal caregivers providing home care. A pilot study, by diagnostic survey, using a survey questionnaire with the PAPI technique was conducted among patients in palliative care treated in home-based settings in the fi rst half of 2022.

Results. There was a statistically signifi cant relationship between satisfaction with care, and the level of comfort provided (p<0.05). Those who strongly indicated satisfaction were characterized by signifi cantly higher levels of comfort provided (M=35.43; SD=5.32 vs. M=33.38; SD=4.63), compared to other patients.

Conclusions. There is a correlation between the level of comfort perceived by patients, and methods of providing comfort to patients in home settings used by informal caregivers. Individuals, who are characterized by a higher feeling of comfort provision, at the same time achieve higher degree of comfort provided by the caregiver.

Aim. This report illustrates a research on the mediatization of emotions during the first wave of Covid-19 in an interdisciplinary approach. The mechanisms of emotions generation in media messages as well as the content and visual elements of functioning of the pandemic’s subject in culture or religion have been described.

Material and methods. The research was carried out on multimodal media publications on the pandemic in global messages. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the research (social sciences, humanities, social communication and media sciences), a set of research methods and techniques was used: content analysis, analysis of visual metaphors or workshop analysis of the media message.

Results. The mediatization of emotions in various areas of social life was examined on the basis of media analysis of religious, consumer-economic, educational, cultural messages. A catalogue of mechanisms for the mediatization of emotions in media coverage was created. New symbols representing the SarsCov-2 pandemic were shown.

Conclusions. The research shows that the mediatization of factors is a process of mediation not only in learning about and creating social reality, but also in controlling attention. During the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, this role was played by emotional media discourses and mechanisms of generating emotions in the media message.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. Adaptive self-efficacy develops in each family member influenced by certain factors. Improving family self-efficacy by recognizing the influence factors is health-related behavior that can build stronger families to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined factors that influenced family self-efficacy during the new normal era of pandemic COVID-19 in the Eastern region of Java Island, Indonesia.

Material and methods. A cross-sectional study was performed among 347 families. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure sociodemographic data, the risk for COVID-19, personal risk for COVID-19, a family of APGAR, Spirituality, and self-efficacy. The logistic regression analysis determined the factors that influenced the family self-efficacy during the new normal era of pandemic COVID-19.

Results. There was a significant correlation between risk for COVID-19, a personal risk factor for COVID-19, a family of APGAR, Spirituality, and family self-efficacy (p<0.05). Spirituality (OR = 1.602; 95% CI= 0.450 – 3.019) and family of APGAR (OR=2.534; 95% CI= 18.84 – 23.69) were influenced by family self-efficacy.

Conclusions. Spirituality and family of APGAR are influenced by family self-efficacy during the new normal era of pandemic COVID-19. Therefore, home health care during the pandemic COVID-19 should be an intervention to support the self-efficacy of the family.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Anti Phospholipid Syndrome in a Male Patient: A Case Report
Authors: A Sawlani , R Masood , S Bai , A Anwar
Published: November 2023

Abstract Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) are two distinct autoimmune disorders characterized by dysregulated immune responses, organ involvement, and the presence of autoantibodies in the bloodstream. Primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) can occur among individuals who are generally healthy and have no history of an underlying systemic autoimmune illness. In contrast, several other systemic autoimmune diseases, including SLE, have the potential to cause secondary Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS). While Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) affect women of childbearing age, there are only a few reported case studies documenting the presence of SLE or APS individually in male patients. However, the coexistence of both conditions in a male patient is extremely rare, with only a few documented cases reports available to date. This case report presents a unique occurrence of concurrent SLE and APS in a forty-year-old male patient, highlighting the rarity of such a presentation. The patient presented with per rectal and mucosal bleeding and had been on warfarin therapy for 16 years due to a history of recurrent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), but was not evaluated further. Immune-related laboratory results revealed positive antinuclear antibodies, anti-dsDNA antibodies, anticardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulants, and direct Coombs test. Concurrent SLE and APS were diagnosed by meeting the classification criteria for both diseases. This report adds to the medical literature and emphasizes the significance of considering concurrent SLE and APS as a potential diagnosis in males. Further research is needed to enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and the best approaches for managing this rare coexistence.

Antecedentes: los aneurismas de arterias viscerales (AAV) tienen una frecuencia baja (0,1 a 2%). Hasta un 25% puede presentarse como rotura, con una alta mortalidad (hasta 70%). La terapia endovascular ha ganado terreno y se recomienda como primera opción según las últimas guías. Hoy en día, es posible adaptarse a casi cualquier anatomía utilizando tecnología cerebral. Objetivo: describir la experiencia y enfoque en el manejo endovascular de AAV, con resultados a corto, mediano y largo plazo. Material y métodos: llevamos a cabo una evaluación retrospectiva de pacientes tratados por AAV verdaderos por vía endovascular en un solo centro entre 2010 y 2020, con un seguimiento mínimo de 6 meses. Resultados: analizamos 19 procedimientos en 18 pacientes (9 hombres y 9 mujeres). La edad promedio fue 61,9 años; el promedio de tiempo de internación fue 1,94 días y el promedio de seguimiento de 40 meses. La arteria más involucrada fue la esplénica (n = 9, 50%). El tamaño aneurismático promedio fue 30,1 mm. La estrategia terapéutica más utilizada fue colocación de diversor de flujo (n = 8, 42,1%). Dos pacientes fueron reintervenidos (11,1%). Las tasas de exclusión completa fueron del 47,4%, 68,4% y 94,7% a los 3, 6 y 12 meses, respectivamente. No hubo casos de mortalidad a 30 días ni mortalidad relacionada con el aneurisma durante el seguimiento. Conclusión: el tratamiento endovascular de los AAV es seguro y eficaz. Sin embargo, se debe contar con la tecnología adecuada, para la planificación preoperatoria y el tratamiento

In the modern world, there is a significant number of collisions in the Internet space, which occur not only in interpersonal communication online, but also on various social networks with a large number of participants. Almost any social network that supports the function of discussion, commenting on the information provided, allows you to observe a number of pre-conflict and conflict situations. Despite the fact that the space in which communication takes place is virtual, the consequences of conflicts in it can be more than real, both for an individual and for a number of participants. Conflict situations can have an impact on the daily life of opponents and collectively affect social processes in society. In his work, the author studies in depth the nature of conflicts in social networks. The study was implemented through a quantitative method of collecting information – a survey in the form of a questionnaire. The general totality of the study was made up of students from Barnaul who are users of social networks. The study was conducted using a selective method. The sample totals 367 respondents. The sample size was determined by the capabilities of the researcher. A single-stage sampling was used, the selection unit was specific students. According to the results of the study, the following conclusions were made. Firstly, the vast majority of students use social networks every day, but only half of them have participated or are involved in conflicts. Secondly, students most often conflict on social networks with strangers and in community comments. Thirdly, trolling is still one of the important problems of social networks. A significant part of the (interviewed) students became victims of trolls. Fourth, most of the conflicts in social networks in which students participate are short-lived and occur through verbal debates. Fifth, most students choose a more "peaceful" behavior strategy. Sixth, many students determine the beginning of a conflict in a social network by negative emotions from interaction and consider the presence of physical distance to be the main feature of the described conflicts.
VIBRATION TABLE MATHEMATICAL MODEL COMPOSING
Authors:   National University «Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic», Korotych Yuriy
Published: November 2023

In this article, a mathematical model is obtained, which combines the design and technological parameters of the technological set of equipment for the concrete goods production (vibrating table), in which the vibrating exciter is fixed on the lever vertically in the center under the plate compactor. This equipment is used for the manufacture of small-sized concrete products. The mathematical model is composedwith the help of Lagrange equations of the second kind, which are the most common method for solving problems about the motion of a mechanical system. Methods of mathematical physics and physical and mathematical modeling by methods of applied mechanics were used in the compilation.To determine the position and describe the free motions of the material bodies that make up the mechanical system under consideration, an orthogonal vi-brational reference system of three coordinate systems was used. Analyzing the kinematic diagram of the vibration table, it is determined that the position in space of all material bodies of the mechanical system, which simulates the specified vibrating table, can be uniquely set by the following independent parameters: Cartesian coordinates, vibration angles and the angle of rotation of debalance.Thus, the mechanical system in question has seven degrees of freedom with seven generalized coordi-nates.As a result, a mathematical model of a vibrating table for concrete products manufacturing in the form of seven second order differential equations system, which describes the vibrating table spatial motion surface, is obtained.The theoretical values of the vibrating table vibrations amplitude at variable lever length were also determined and compared with experi-mental data at the same initial parameters. The difference was 15%, which confirms the adequacy of the created mathematical model to the real technological process on the vibrating table, which is being studied.Analyzing the change in the vibration oscillations amplitude on the vibrating table working surface from the change in the lever length on which the vibrating exciter is fixed, it was found that the lever fixation allows an almost linear increase in the amplitude of vibration oscillations due to an increase in the lever length. This, in turn, makes it possible to reduce energy consumption when compacting the concrete mixture.
Church Construction in Transbaikalia and the Chinese Eastern Railway: Kaydalovskaya Railway Branch at the Turn of the 19th – 20th Centuries
Authors: Khodyakov M. V. , Zhao Zhiqing
Published: November 2023

The paper considers the process of church construction on the Kaidalovskaya branch of the Trans-Baikal Railway (one of the branches connecting the Chinese Eastern Railway with the Russian railway network). The history of how the branch was constructed and operated has been left beyond the scope of scholars’ interests, which explains the focus of the paper. The research relies on archive records data and aims at assessing the role of the state in the spread of Orthodoxy in Transbaikalia and the Far East through the main stages of the branch railway construction at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries. It also sheds light on how the Department of Railways of the Ministry of Railways and the Department of the Committee of the Trans-Baikal Railway solved the practical issues. The study spotlights a special agreement between the Trans-Baikal and Chinese Eastern Railways, which was concluded in order to boost efficiency of the CER railway section from the Chinese border to Manchuria station. It helps to evidence the specificity of church construction in the region under consideration: the trend towards constructing churches on the territory of large settlements near the railway and introducing mobile church cars. In such a way, the abbots of churches at the stations could travel hundreds of kilometers and meet the religious needs of workers and employees who lived along the railway line. The paper concludes that church construction has become a manifestation of Russian national policy aimed at strengthening its stance in the east of the country. The churches on the Kaydalovskaya branch, funded by philanthropists, local residents, and special purpose funds, still exist and should be seen as cultural heritage sites.
Features of Scientific Tourism in the USSR (Problem Statement)
Authors: Orlov I. B.
Published: November 2023

The article analyzes the phenomenon of scientific tourism in the USSR, both from the perspective of tourism issues and within the framework of the social history of science. However, modern research on scientific tourism has actually fallen out of the field of view of both scientific directions. For tourism issues, research design is limited, first of all, by different approaches to defining the sphere of scientific tourism in Soviet and post-Soviet historiography. Whereas within the social history of science framework, broad research prospects are opening up. The macro-analytical strategy makes it possible to identify the relationship of the “Intourist” with the party and state institutions toward scientific tourism, and the micro-analytical approach shows how interaction within tourist groups influenced non-political (including scientific) activity. Scientific tourism is considered as an external social factor influencing science, and at the same time as a form of scientific activity. Based on archival materials and documents of personal origin, the author concludes that the early history of scientific tourism fell in the second half of the 1920s and the completion of its formation in the 1960s. At the same time, the historical reconstruction allows us to see how certain areas of scientific tourism were formed – congress, industrial, expedition, exhibition, and specialized. The author explains the unstable dynamics of the development of Soviet scientific tourism, in addition to bureaucratic red tape and interdepartmental inconsistencies, primarily by attempts to combine two mutually exclusive attitudes – the expansion of scientific and technical cooperation and the achievement of ideological and political effect from trips.
Publishing Memoirs of Russian Historians of the Late 20th – Early 21st Century: Practices and Issues
Authors: Matkhanova N. P.
Published: November 2023

The article reviews the memoirs of historians written and published at the end of the 20th – the beginning of the 21st century. Among the large number (about a hundred) of texts, it selects about twenty that meet the following criteria: 1) written by specialists in the history of Russia, who continued their research work in the last third of the 20th century; 2) created and published after the early 1990s; 3) published as separate books. The research aims to analyze the current practice of publication, identify the main editorial, ethical and legal problems, and ways to solve them. Selected texts are divided into two groups: fifteen were published by the authors themselves and four – by other persons. Publications of the second group meet the requirements of edition archaeography to a greater extent, especially in the correct usage of the academic systems for referring to references. The first group does not always show a clear dependence between the nature of the publication and the qualifications of the publisher. The publications of both groups contain critical opinions about contemporaries and even mention specific names. Ethical and legal issues examined in this research include the publication of similar information, the chronological interval between the creation and publication of texts, and the admissibility of a text with omissions. The article discusses different opinions of well-known experts and their arguments in favor of various solutions. The article concludes by arguing that the publishers of other people's memoirs usually consider the copyright holder's opinion. At the same time, established practice and scientific discussions show that there are still unresolved issues. It emphasizes a need for considering these issues, complying with the norms of the law, and reasonably compromising.
Pupils and Graduates of the Ostsee’ Garrison School in the 1730s
Authors: Proskuryakova M. E.
Published: November 2023

The article studies the professional training of soldiers’ sons and the formation of the social group of lower-ranking military men in the 1730s. The regulation of the occupations of military personnel’s sons and the creation of schools in the garrison regiments were carried out during the Petrine reforms of the 1710–1720s. Later, amendments were made to the legislative norms that clarified the tasks of the garrison schools. These innovations took place during the reign of Anna Ioannovna. Since then, school training has focused on replenishing the regiments with literate and professionally educated clerks, musicians, and artisans. The author of the article focuses on the school history that started in the early 1720s in the Ivangorodsky infantry regiment of the Vyborg garrison. Based on the data from sources on personnel, the article analyzes the general level of literacy among officers and privates of the mentioned military unit, the composition of their families, and the activities of male children. The author examines the results of the government policy on the training of literate lower-ranking military men, as well as the history of the formation of the social group of military men. It was revealed that the military command in Vyborg made efforts to ensure that the local regiments were replenished with people who originated from military families and were professionally trained in the local school. This was the embodiment of the strategy of the central authorities. By 1735, the personnel of the Ivangorod regiment had already been replenished with 23 literate employees who were born in the military families of Vyborg, Kexholm, and other towns of north-western Russia. The study of data on family ties within the community of the Vyborg garrison employees proved that the enrolment of soldiers’ sons in the garrison schools and future appointment of graduates to service in the garrison regiments was one of the ways the military estate was formed in Russia of the 1720s – 1730s.
Traditions and Customs of the Kazakh People: Place and Role in the Modernization of Society
Authors: Zhetpysbaev S. K.
Published: November 2023

The article analyzes the nature and essence of traditions and customs and their place and role in the modern everyday life of Kazakh people. Based on the outcomes of previous studies of Kazakh history, philosophy, and sociology and on the examination of the national cultural policy, especially the preservation of national culture and the revival of forgotten traditions and customs, it highlights main challenges related to the education in the field of progressive cultural traditions, reveals, reasons of why some of the cultural practices and norms stay alive when others disappearing. The study goal is to show the role of the traditions and customs of the Kazakh people in the revival process of the national culture during the period of social modernization. The article considers traditions and customs as an integral sociocultural dimension of human activity and communication, creating the basis for the entire diversity of cognitive experience. Based on the already published and widely known materials on nomadic and Turkic cultures, traditions, and customs, the author examines connections between historical traditions of the steppe life, their representation in the modern everyday life of the Khazakh people, and their future as a part of the national culture of independent Kazakhstan. For instance, hospitality is a foundational element of both the rites of the nomadic people of the Kazakh steppe and the cultural norms of the contemporary population of Kazakhstan. The article concludes by arguing that customs and traditions are a social mechanism that transfers social values from generation to generation and underlies the basis of national unity and cultural identity of the Kazakh people. Thus, the national culture, containing many traditions, customs, rituals, rituals, is the life-giving environment that can and should serve as a source of national revival for any state, and especially for Kazakhstan. Culture is able to accumulate knowledge and information about the world and pass it on from generation to generation. At the same time, it acts as the social and intellectual memory of a particular nation and humanity in general. Therefore, the purpose of the author during the period of modernization of society is to show the spiritual revival of the national culture of the Kazakh people as an integral part of the world cultural process.

Cotton noctuid (Helicoverpa armigera Hbn.) (1805) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a widely spread in Pale-arctic species. It is the main pest of many agricultural crops, which cause annual damage in the world agri-culture more than two billion dollars. Therefore, the insecticide treatments are essential to control it. Often pesticide application increases the insect resistance that leads to doses increase and (or) replacement by new highly toxic chemicals. Therefore, a search of the safety and reliable protection means of agricultural crops against the pest has been still a problem. In 2017–2019, the efficiency of insecticides against H. armigera in sunflower sowings was studied in the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops (Krasnodar, Russia). The number of H. armigera cat-erpillars in 2017 was at a level of 3.2 pcs/plant, in 2018 – 4.5, and in 2019 reached 6.0 pcs/plant. The insecticides based on Bifetrin + Chlorpirifos, EC (87%) and Chlorantraniliprol, CS (91 %) had the highest biological efficiency. Phytoverm V, EC was the best organic insecticide – 56 %. In an industrial experiment, sunflower plants treatment with Beta-cipermetrin + Dimetoat, EC (standard) and Chlorantraniliprol, CS caused the decrease in the cat-erpillar number by 71.7 and 97.0%, respectively. Sun-flower yield in the variants with insecticides were reli-ably higher than in the control one, the saved yield reached 0.23 and 0.39 t/hа.

The threat of destruction of seedlings in breeding sowings of oil crops is the raids of hares, in a short time they can damage the leaves, stems and even the roots of plants and thereby cause irreparable harm to breeders. Existing methods to control hares: poisonous baits, fences, electric fence, upon contact with which animals receive a weak electric shock and jump away from it; are ineffective for scaring hares, since in some cases they can easily jump over the fence, in other cases hares can easily penetrate under the fence. In the department of mechanization of the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops, an electric fence design has been created in which wooden poles with insulators are additionally equipped with wooden couplers installed to them at an angle of 350 at a level of 300 mm from the ground with two insulators each, on which current conductors are fixed, connected to each other and forming an external closed circuit of electrical protec-tion connected to the "-" output of the high-voltage pulse generator (HVI) and with a ground loop, and the main closed circuit of electrical protection is con-nected to the "+" output of the HVI and consists of five rows of current conductors, located respectively at a distance of 150 mm, 300 mm, 480 mm, 680 mm and 880 mm from the soil surface, and the rows of current conductors of the external circuit of electrical protection – at a distance of 500 mm and 800 mm from the soil surface, while the columns are embed-ded in the ground to a depth of 300 mm at a distance of 6000 mm from each other. The conducted tests of the electric fence in the field confirmed that it fully provides protection of the fenced territory of the breeding site from the penetration of hares into it.

In USSR, the rapeseed production drown attention only in 70-ties of the last century. In VNIIMK, the full-scale breeding of spring rapeseed had been started by the organization of the laboratory of rapeseed breeding in 1983. The main task at the first stage was development of erucic acid free cultivars. The culti-var Kubansky (type “0”) became the first erucic acid free cultivar of rapeseed, which was differed from the foreign cultivars by the lowered content of linolenic acid in oil – 3.9%. Cultivars developed in 1982–1984 had stable level of erucic acid from 0.2 to 0.8%. The second stage of spring rapeseed breeding covers 1989–1993. It was aimed not only on increasing of oil quality but the cake quality too, namely decreas-ing of glucosinolate content in seeds to 15–16 µmol/g (type “00”). And in parallel, breeding works on in-creasing of oil content in seeds were conducted, as a result this trait meaning was changed from 42.4 to 47.6%. At the next stage in spring rapeseed breeding the main task was to decrease linolenic acid content and increase oleic acid content in oil using intraspecif-ic hybridization, chemical mutagenesis, and self-pollination. The cultivar Viking-VNIIMK had linolen-ic acid content of 4%, and the cultivar Amulet – 77.5% of oleic acid in oil. The new stage in the spring rapeseed breeding is connected with development of yellow-seeded cultivars (type “000”). In 2023, the cultivar Kenar was included into the State register of the breeding achievements. To 2023, a scale of spring rapeseed cultivars of the different usage directions for food and other industries was developed in the institute. The last years, a new stage in spring rapeseed breeding has started, it is aimed on development of interlinear hybrids on CMS base, that do it possible to raise seed yield of this crop on the new level.

Global warming stimulates soil salinization and calcification, resulting in phosphorus (P) deficiency in arid and semiarid regions worldwide. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can enhance phosphorus availability, but their role has been less explored under arid and semiarid climatic conditions. A two-year consecutive field experiment was conducted to assess the effectiveness of PSB loading onto seeds, organic, and mineral fertilizers. The trial followed a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications for each treatment. There were five treatments: T1 was the uninoculated control with no fertilizer (Control), T2 was uninoculated with recommended NPK (NPK), T3 was PSB-inoculated wheat seeds (PSB-Seed), T4 was PSB-inoculated organic fertilizer (PSB-OF), and T5 was PSB-inoculated mineral fertilizer (PSB-MF). Results revealed that inoculation with PSB onto seeds, organic, or mineral fertilizer had a more pronounced impact not only on the vegetative development and yield of wheat but also on P contents in grains. It was observed that the PSB-inoculated mineral fertilizer treatment responded well, showing noticeable wheat biomass accumulation, grain yield, and improved P uptake in grain and straw. Interestingly, the highest uptake of nitrogen (N) in wheat grain was observed with both PSB-inoculated organic fertilizer treatment and PSB-inoculated mineral fertilizer treatment, highlighting the efficacy of slow-release nitrogen from organic fertilizer in addition to the impact of PSB. In conclusion, PSB inoculation on organic or mineral fertilizer has substantial potential in enhancing crop productivity and combating P deficiency in arid and semi-arid regions.

Objectives:

The role of dental radiography cannot be over-emphasized but the harmful effect of its radiation cannot be overlooked, thereby making the knowledge and practice of exposure protection very important. While studies on awareness, knowledge, and practice exposure protection are available in other countries, it appears that there is a dearth of such studies in our environment. The aim of this survey was to assess the awareness, knowledge, and practice of radiation hazards and exposure protection techniques of dentists in a Nigerian teaching hospital.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study design was conducted between December 2022 and February 2023 at the dental complex of a Nigerian teaching hospital among dental practitioners. The data were collected with a 23-item, structured, close-ended, and self-administered questionnaire. The data collected were age, gender, department of respondents, medical status, years of experience, and additional degree. Other collected data were awareness, knowledge, and practice of radiation protection. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. The data were entered and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 26 (IBM, Armonk, NY, United States of America). A critical probability level (P < 0.05) was used as the cutoff level for statistical significance.

Results:

A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed, and 82 were retrieved, giving a response rate of 82%. The mean age of the respondents was 45.3 ± 5.1 years. There were more males (58.5%) with a male-to-female ratio of 1.4:1. The prevalence of poor awareness and inadequate knowledge of radiation exposure protection was 48.2% and 22.4%, respectively. The prevalence of poor practice toward radiation exposure was 66.7%. Only years of experience and additional degree influenced the prevalence of inadequate knowledge of radiation exposure (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

The prevalence of poor awareness, inadequate knowledge, and poor practice of radiation exposure protection, with values of 48.2%, 22.4%, and 66.7%, respectively, were quite high. The prevalence of inadequate knowledge of radiation exposure protection was influenced by years of practice and additional degrees.
