This study aims to evaluate radiation safety competence and academic preparedness among final-year nursing students at Jazan University.
Cross-sectional study design involving final-year nursing students in Saudi Arabia
Data collected through a structured survey assessing competence, attitudes, and perceptions
258 nursing students participated, with descriptive and inferential statistical analysis performed
40.70% of students felt their academic preparation for radiology was adequate, only 20.93% felt work-ready after graduation
Overall competence was moderate with a mean score of 3.35 ± 1.03, and positive attitudes averaged 3.88 ± 1.16
Higher competence scores were associated with students who perceived their preparation as sufficient (p = 0.032) and felt ready for work (p = 0.026)
