Abstract :
The aim of the research is to identify the factors that reduce radiation accidents in radiography companies using the data-based method in a radiography company active in Assaluyeh. The statistical population of the research in this section includes experts, specialists of the modern radiography company and university professors, of which 4 were university specialists and 11 were specialists and experts in the field of radiography. Purposive sampling was used to select individuals for the statistical sample. Grounded Theory was used as a three-stage coding method, therefore the present research is qualitative. The analysis tool of this research was an unstructured questionnaire. In the research findings, 93 codes were extracted as the final code. The research results showed that 5 components and 25 subcomponents extracted using axial coding lead to 5 general dimensions, which indicate the dependent variable or identify the factors that reduce radiation accidents in radiography companies using the data-based method in a radiography company active in Assaluyeh.
