Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of the school curriculum and on-site observation of interventional radiology (IR) operations in clinics on undergraduates\' radiation anxiety, interest, and career intention.
METHODS: Between the academic years 2021 and 2023, all of the fourth-year undergraduates were surveyed by questionnaires, which covered their pre-curriculum, post-curriculum in-school, and post-on-site view of IR surgeries in clinic. The survey included categories of gender, fear of X-ray and IR operation, interest in IR surgery, and career-pursuing intention.
RESULTS: A total of 333 (91.0%) respondents (111 students for three times) were included in analyses. The fear of X-ray and radiation exposure during IR procedures was reduced after taking school courses (p < 0.001), and it was further decreased after on-site viewing (p < 0.001). The association values among the three groups were 33.8% and 41.9%, respectively. The interest in IR was improved both after applying for the curriculum and after clinical exposure to IR surgery (p < 0.001). In addition, 4 (3.6%) and 12 (10.8%) students showed a sense of achievement after taking courses and on-site viewing, respectively. The association value was 49.4%. Regarding career intention, it was both significantly increased after taking courses and on-site observation (p < 0.001). Besides, 8 (7.2%), 17 (15.3%), and 36 (32.4%) students in the three groups considered IR as the preferred career choice, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Applying for IR curriculum could reduce undergraduates\' radiation anxiety, and activate their professional interest and career pursuing intention. Clinical exposure to IR surgeries further boosted this effect.
CONCLUSIONS: Educational interventions of curriculum and on-site view of IR surgery improve the undergraduates\' interest in IR and stimulate their career intention, which is crucial for the advancement of IR.
CONCLUSIONS: Increasing interest in interventional radiology (IR) as a career is urgent, given rising demand of services. Education and on-site viewing of IR surgery reduced radiation anxiety and increased interest in IR. Early exposure to IR is effective at encouraging undergraduates to consider IR as their career.

摘要：
目的：评估学校课程和诊所介入放射学（IR）手术的现场观察对大学生辐射焦虑的影响，兴趣,和职业意向。
方法：在2021年至2023年之间，对所有四年级本科生进行了问卷调查，涵盖了他们的前期课程，后课程在学校，和临床IR手术的现场视图。调查包括性别类别，对X射线和IR操作的恐惧，对IR手术的兴趣，和职业追求的意图。
结果：共有333名（91.0%）受访者（111名学生三次）被纳入分析。在参加学校课程后，对IR程序中X射线和辐射暴露的恐惧减少了（p<0.001），现场观看后进一步下降（p<0.001）。三组间的关联值分别为33.8%和41.9%,分别。在申请课程和临床暴露于IR手术后，对IR的兴趣都得到了改善（p<0.001）。此外,4名(3.6%)和12名(10.8%)学生在参加课程和现场观看后表现出成就感，分别。关联值为49.4%。关于职业意向，在服用课程和现场观察后，该指数均显着增加（p<0.001）。此外,8（7.2%），17（15.3%），三组中的36名(32.4%)学生认为IR是首选职业选择，分别。
结论：申请IR课程可以减少本科生的辐射焦虑，激活他们的职业兴趣和职业追求意图。临床暴露于IR手术进一步增强了这种效果。
结论：课程和IR手术现场视图的教育干预提高了本科生对IR的兴趣并激发了他们的职业意向，这对IR的发展至关重要。
结论：对介入放射学（IR）作为职业的兴趣越来越迫切，随着服务需求的增长。IR手术的教育和现场观看减少了辐射焦虑，并增加了对IR的兴趣。早期接触IR可以有效地鼓励本科生将IR视为自己的职业。
