Ahmar Metastasis Health Journal (AMHJ), with registered number ISSN 2797-6483 (Print), 2797-4952 (Online) managed by the AHMAR Foundation, published by Yayasan Ahmad Mansyur Nasirah, which is a scientific forum for publishing articles on research activities in health (midwifery, pharmacy, nursing, public health and nutrition). The journal was first published in June 2021 and subsequently published four times a year, in June, September, December and March. Every article that goes to the editorial staff will be selected through Initial Review processes by the Editorial Board. Then, the articles will be sent to the peer reviewer and will go to the next selection by Double-Blind Preview Process. After that, the articles will be returned to the authors to revised. These processes take three a month for a maximum time. In each manuscript, peer reviewer will be rated from the substantial and technical aspects. The final decision of articles acceptance will be made by Editors according to Reviewers comments.

Abstract

Non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) examinations are associated with a potential risk of unnecessary radiation exposure when optimization principles are not consistently applied in clinical practice. Radiographers play a pivotal role in implementing appropriate clinical protocols to ensure patient radiation safety without compromising diagnostic image quality. This study aimed to review optimization strategies for non-contrast head CT examinations with a particular focus on the role of radiographers and clinical protocols. Literature review was conducted using articles retrieved from the PubMed database published between 2020-2025. The selected studies were analyzed descriptively by examining study characteristics, optimization approaches, and their implications for clinical radiography practice of non-contrast head CT examination. The results indicate that optimization of non-contrast head CT can be achieved through appropriate adjustment of technical parameters by radiographers, application of iterative reconstruction techniques, minimization of patient positioning errors in anteroposterior, posteroanterior, and lateral orientations, use of eye shielding combined with tube current modulation (TCM), and implementation of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) based on clinical indications. In addition, regular radiographer training contributes to the consistent application of optimization strategies. In conclusion, effective optimization of non-contrast head CT examinations requires an integrated approach that combines radiographer competency and evidence-based clinical protocols to minimize patient radiation exposure while maintaining diagnostic image quality.

Abstract

Mental health among adolescent girls is a crucial aspect in supporting optimal emotional, social, and academic development. The complex biological, psychological, and social changes that occur during adolescence increase vulnerability to stress, anxiety, and depression. One promotive and preventive effort that can be implemented is health education using leaflet media, which is simple, informative, and easy to understand. This study aimed to analyze the effect of leaflet-based education on the level of knowledge of adolescent girls regarding mental health at SMAN 1 Wanasaba. This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study population consisted of all eleventh-grade female students, with a sample of 60 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to measure the level of mental health knowledge before and after the leaflet-based educational intervention. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed an increase in the level of knowledge among adolescent girls after receiving leaflet-based education. The Wilcoxon test indicated a statistically significant difference between knowledge scores before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that leaflet-based health education is effective in improving adolescent girls’ knowledge regarding mental health.
