To evaluate the effect of toolbox training on knowledge and safety behaviors in healthcare professionals working in radiation environments.
Conducted as a randomized controlled trial with 63 participants from radiology units.
Participants were divided into an intervention group (33) and a control group (30).
The intervention group received brief, face-to-face training with visual aids in their work environment.
Data was collected before training, after training, and at two follow-up periods.
Significant increase in radiation protection knowledge in the intervention group (p<0.001).
Improvement in practice scores among the intervention group, maintained over time.
Increased adverse event reporting in the intervention group, indicating heightened safety awareness.
