Abstract
Background: Radiological contrast materials (RCMs) are safe and widely used but adverse events may occur, which may be mild or life threatening and lead to death. The present study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude levels toward RCMs among patients in Jazan city, Saudi Arabia.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study recruited 414 patients, who visited the Radiology Department at general hospitals of the Ministry of Health, in Jazan during October to December 2018 and underwent a radiological diagnostic workup. The study was conducted via a self-administered questionnaire.
Results: A total of 414 participants were included in the study. The male to female ratio was 1:1. Almost half of the participants were employed and one-third were unemployed. Half of the participants expressed their poor knowledge about radiological contrast material and two-thirds of the patients had a neutral attitude toward radiological contrast material. However, there were statistical significances between occupation and educational level, and with knowledge and attitude level.
Conclusion: These findings highlight a need for programs that would aim to increase the level of awareness about the importance of radiological contrast material and related indications and contraindications.

Key words: Radiological contrast materials, consent form, knowledge, attitude
