Objective :
To evaluate the implementation, application, and problems and suggestions of the Radiation Shield-
ing Requirements in Room of Radiotherapy Installations—Part 1: General Principle (GBZ/T 201.1—2007) through a survey of relevant personnel in radiation health technical service institutions, and to provide a scientific basis for further revision and implementation of this standard.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted among randomly selected per-
sonnel in radiation health technical services across China, which mainly investigated the awareness, training, application, and
revision suggestions related to the GBZ/T 201.1—2007. The results were aggregated and analyzed.
Results:
A total of 184 evaluation questionnaires on the GBZ/T 201.1—2007 were collected from technical service staff in 25 provinces. Among the
responders, 64.1% thought that the standard had been widely applied; 91.8% thought that the standard could meet work
needs; only 54.3% ever received relevant training on the standard; 68.5% used the standard once or more per year; 33.7% thought that the standard needed to be revised.
Conclusion
The personnel in radiation health technical services have a high
awareness rate of the GBZ/T 201.1—2007 and its contents, but their familiarity with and application of the standard need to
be improved. Relevant departments should strengthen the training and promotion of the standard, and part of the standard should be revised.
