The increasing utilization of ionizing radiation in healthcare has heightened concerns about radiation protection for both patients and healthcare professionals. The primary principle of radiation protection is to be more effective when supported by a radiation protection culture, which includes attitudes, practices, and clinical experiences. According to Alamoudi et.al (2025), radiation protection is a vital practice that minimizes unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation, thereby reducing its harmful effects on healthcare providers and patients. The principles of radiation protection are based on three fundamental principles: justification, optimization, and dose limitation. Despite the established importance of radiation protection attitudes, practices, and clinical experience, empirical studies that examine these variables collectively remain limited, particularly in the Philippine healthcare context. This study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design to systematically identify the influence of attitude, practice, and clinical experience on radiation protection among radiologic technologists. The survey questionnaire was disseminated in the selected hospitals in Batangas, and 56 radiologic technologists who volunteered answered the survey. To enhance the radiation protection attitude, practices, and clinical experiences, a safety survey should conduct to assess the staff confidence in handling radiation protection policies, the implementation of non-punitive systems/reports for incidents and annual mandatory radiation protection trainings for all the staff which include the equipment handling & technique, use of dosimeter and personal protective equipment (PPE), operating radiographic equipment and strict adherence to the radiation protection protocols. Finally, future researchers are encouraged to conduct research with similar variables and to expand the scope of respondents, thereby serving as a valuable reference that guides the development of future research frameworks and methodologies.
