BACKGROUND: Radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or a material medium. It can be categorized into two main types: ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation, depending on its ability to ionize atoms and molecules. The aim of the study to determine the efficacy of the protection motivation theory in promoting preventive behaviors among nurses were exposed to radiation at Hospitals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomized quasi-experimental design through using randomized controlled trial is conducted to determine the efficacy of Protection Motivation Theory Intervention in improving behaviors related to radiation protection among nurses from 20 September 2024 throughout 25 April 2025. Nurses from five radiation-exposed hospitals participated in the study in two groups, intervention and control, utilizing a pretest-posttest design (three study and two control by random allocation). The inquiry utilized the Social Science Statistical Package (SPSS) version 26 to analyses the data. The statistical methodologies employed for data analysis and outcome evaluation encompass. RESULTS: According to the results, the overall mean score of nurses' radiation protection behavior before the program was fair (3.23), improved to good (4.58) after the intervention, and remained good (4.35) in the secondary test. CONCLUSION: This study shown the significant impact of an educational intervention based on Protection Motivation Theory on hospital nurses' knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions concerning radiation protection.
