Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current situation of radiological health technical service institutions in Jiangsu province, analyze the existing problems, and to provide a basis for optimizing radiological health technical service resources in our province.Methods:Through the Jiangsu Provincial Radiation Health Information Management Platform to inquire basic information of institutions, we investigated, collected, organized, and analyzed the qualification recognition and technical service related information of radiological health technical service institutions in the province.Results:As of December 31, 2022, there had been 57 institutions in Jiangsu province, with public and private institutions accounting for 43.9% and 56.1%, respectively, including 4 Grade A and 47 Grade B ones for radiation protection evaluation, and with 61.4%, 22.8%, and 15.8% of these situated in the southern, central, and northern regions of Jiangsu, respectively. The number of professionals in public institutions, on an average, was less than in private institutions ( t=-3.55, P<0.05), and the proportion and number of personnel with enior professional title were higher in public institutions than in private institutions( χ2=39.16, P<0.05). On an average, the number of professional technical personnel, the proportion of personnel with senior professional title, and the number of items of equipment for radiation protection evaluation were all higher in Grade A institutions than in Grade B institutions( t=4.00, χ2=11.28, t=7.68, P<0.05). Private institutions have completed 98.2% of radiation protection evaluation tasks, 95.6% of radiation health protection testings, and 84.0% of personal dose monitoring work in 2022. Conclusions:The distribution of institutions in the southern, central, and northern regions of Jiangsu is unbalanced, and private institutions have a much higher number of technical services than public institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to guide institutions to register in the central and northern regions of Jiangsu, encourage public institutions to actively undertake technical services.
