Methods Design a questionnaire on radiation protection knowledge and conduct a mental health test. The content of the questionnaire includes 26 questions in 2 dimensions, including general personal information and radiation protection knowledge. Among them, there are 20 questions about radiation protection knowledge. the self-rating symptom scale (SCL-90) is selected for the mental health test, with a total of 90 questions. Results The average score of the radiation protection knowledge question survey was (13.62 ± 2.21) points. The accuracy is less than 60% 102 people (16.04%); 60%~79% 430 people (67.61%); ≥ 80% 104 people (16.35%). SCL90 test indicates that 38.99% (248/636) of radiation workers is poor in mental health, the scores of each main factor are higher than the national norm. Among them, the somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity and anxiety of radiation workers were relatively significant, with statistical differences (P < 0.05). Conclusion The overall cognition level of radiation protection staff in primary hospitals of a certain city is very low, therefore, training and supervision need to be strengthened. There are still some radiation workers whose mental health is not good, and active psychological intervention measures should be taken.
