摘要
This study aims to evaluate the radiographers' perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 on radiography practice. From May to June 2022, a crosssectional online survey was conducted of radiographers working in ten hospitals. Fifty respondents are involved (female=28; male=22). 94% of radiographers reported an increasing workload, with 30% frequently stressed. 68% and 60% are confident in their knowledge of COVID-19 transmission and infection control, even though 78% had received specific training to prepare for the pandemic. The high workload and fear of infection increase the radiographers' stress during the pandemic.
