Comparison of the effectiveness of radiation protection principles training through multimedia and instructional booklet on the awareness of operating room staff.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTraining and awareness regarding radiation protection is crucial for medical staff and operating room personnel to prevent potential hazards from radiation exposure. Various methods are employed to increase the awareness of operating room staff regarding radiation protection principles. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two training methods, multimedia presentations and instructional booklets, in enhancing the awareness of operating room staff toward radiation protection principles. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this semi-experimental study, 60 anesthesia and operating room technologists, were purposefully selected and randomly (utilizing an engineering calculator) divided into two intervention groups and one control group. The first group received multimedia-based training, while the second group was provided training through an instructional booklet. Data was collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire before the intervention and again 30 days afterward. Subsequently, the data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, employing analysis of covariance) ANCOVA (and the Bonferroni
resultsNo significant difference in mean awareness scores was observed among the three groups before the intervention) DISCUSSION: The current research findings indicate the effectiveness of both educational methods. However, the multimedia-based education method proved to be more effective in increasing the awareness levels of the study participants compared to the other two groups which is important to increase compliance with standards and implement hospital accreditation criteria to ensure the safety of operating rooms personnel against radiation. Therefore, based on this study's results, this educational approach is recommended for teaching topics related to radiation protection principles.
