Abstract

This study aimed to improve radiation safety literacy among healthcare workers through electromedical technology-based training as a novel educational approach. The program involved 30 healthcare workers in Padang and was conducted in a one-day session using an educational-participatory method, including lectures, Arduino-based radiation simulation demonstrations, and hands-on practice with protective equipment. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments and skill observations. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge scores from 55 to 85 (p < 0.05) and improved practical skills. This training approach effectively enhanced participants’ awareness and competence in applying radiation safety principles in healthcare settings.
