Giriş: Son dönemlerde sıkça gündeme gelen radyasyon konusunda toplumun bilgi seviyesini ölçmek, radyasyon ile ilgili bilgi, tutum, davranış ve genel kültür seviyesini tespit etmek ve bu konuda eğitim taleplerinin olup olmadığını öğrenmek amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Toplumda radyasyon farkındalığı ve bilgi düzeylerini saptamaya yönelik 22 soruluk bir anketi hazırladık. Anket formu; yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu, mesleği ve radyasyon sebepleri, radyasyondan korunma yöntemleri, radyasyon farkındalığı ile ilgili sorular içermekteydi. İstatistiki analizlerde Ki kare testi kullanılmıştır. P
Introduction: It is intended to measure the level of knowledge of the population about the radiation frequently agenda from in recent days, to determine the knowledge, attitude, behavior and level of general knowledge about radiation and find out whether the training demands on this issue.Material and Method: We have prepared a questionnaire of 22 questions aimed at determining radiation awareness and knowledge levels in society. The questionnaire contained questions about radiation awareness like age, gender, education level, occupation and cause of radiation, radiation protection methods. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. P <0.05 was considered significantResults: The average age of participants were 22,48 and standard deviation was calculated as 6,499 in this study performed with 250 volunteer participation. 52.4% of participants were women. The findings and results were written in detail after all participants answering the questionnaire.Conclusion: It was significant that it is unknown who sets the working principles about radiation in Turkey and the studies was deficient. Doubt that, there is lack of knowledge on this subject but we have seen that eğitim konusunda da katılımcıların pek istekli olmadığını gördük
