Abstract

Several unique things differentiate radiographic examinations in pediatrics from adult patients, including patient fixation, the level of patient cooperation, and the need for patient companions. Currently, no literature provides an overview of the patient's age with these three aspects of radiographic examination. This study aims to provide an overview of the relationship between age groups and the implementation of radiographic examinations, which greatly influence the success of the examination. This research is a type of descriptive observational research. Data obtained from three hospitals was collected for one month. The sample for this study was 144 pediatric radiographic examinations. The study results are described in frequency distributions related to patient fixation, level of patient cooperation, and the need for patient companions. The study results showed that patients began to cooperate, and the use of fixation decreased in the age group of three years and above. Patients begin not needing a companion at six years and above. The radiographer must evaluate these three things to prepare the examination with an appropriate approach with the goal of a successful exam without repetition so that the radiation dose is minimal for both the patient and the patient's family. This research can be used as a guide for radiographers in preparing for examinations and initial communication during pediatric radiography examinations.

Abstract

The increasing use of radiation in health services increases the risk to the public. The radiology study program as a producing institution has the challenge of ensuring that students fully understand and are aware of radiation safety. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge and awareness regarding radiation safety and related factors among radiology study program students.This was a quantitative study with a survey approach. The study instrument was a questionnaire that was delivered to 140 students from 7 radiology study programs in Indonesia consisting of 2 state institutions and 5 private institutions. The questionnaire consisted of 12 questions to evaluate knowledge regarding radiation safety, 16 questions to evaluate awareness regarding radiation safety and 6 questions to evaluate the learning experiences.Based on the study results on knowledge regarding radiation safety, 12.86% of respondents had "Poor" level of knowledge, 35.00% of respondents had "Moderate" level of knowledge, 20.71% of respondents had "Good" level of knowledge and 31.43% of respondents had "Very Good" level of knowledge. Respondents' radiation safety awareness in the "Poor" category was 3.57%, "Fair" 17.14%, "Good" 43.57% and the "Very Good" category 35.71%. Laboratory practical experience and the completeness of laboratory infrastructure had a positive effect on students' knowledge regarding radiation safety. Furthermore, clinical practice experience similarly had a positive effect on awareness regarding radiation safety. The study outcome can be applied as input for radiology study program educational institutions in developing learning to achieve competency regarding radiation safety.
