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.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has led to the widespread use of gadgets across all age groups, including preschool children. Devices such as smartphones and tablets are commonly used for entertainment and learning purposes. However, excessive and unsupervised gadget use may negatively affect children’s motor development, which is a crucial indicator of growth during early childhood. This study aimed to examine the relationship between gadget use and motor development among preschool children at KB PAUD Kiddy Club, North Jakarta. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 62 preschool children aged 3–6 years, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a gadget usage questionnaire and the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) II to assess fine and gross motor development. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square (χ²) test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most preschool children had moderate to high levels of gadget use. Approximately 66.1% of children primarily used YouTube applications, and 87.1% used smartphones as their main device. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between the level of gadget use and motor development (p < 0.05), indicating that children with high gadget use were more likely to exhibit suspected or delayed fine and gross motor development. These findings highlight the importance of parental supervision and appropriate regulation of gadget use to support optimal motor development in preschool children.

Abstract

The intrauterine device (IUD) is a highly effective long-acting contraceptive method; however, its utilization in primary healthcare settings remains relatively low. One of the key factors influencing decision-making regarding IUD use is husbands’ support. This study aimed to systematically identify and synthesize the role of husbands’ support in the utilization of IUD contraception at primary healthcare centers (Puskesmas). This study employed a narrative literature review with quantitative evidence synthesis, conducted systematically in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Literature searches were performed in Google Scholar, Garuda, SINTA, and university repositories for articles published between 2021 and 2025. Of the 66 articles initially identified, title and abstract screening followed by full-text eligibility assessment based on predefined inclusion criteria resulted in six cross-sectional studies being included in the analysis. The findings demonstrated that all reviewed studies reported a statistically significant association between husbands’ support and IUD use (p < 0.05), with odds ratios ranging from 1.214 to 7.713. The variation in effect sizes indicates that husbands’ support functions as a reinforcing factor to a key determinant in contraceptive decision-making, depending on social context and regional characteristics. It can be concluded that husbands’ support is a critical determinant of IUD utilization in primary healthcare centers. These findings underscore the strategic role of primary healthcare centers in strengthening couple-based family planning programs through education and counseling interventions that actively involve husbands.

Abstract

Intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) can mimic common gastrointestinal disorders and is frequently diagnosed late, particularly in resource-limited settings where microbiological confirmation is unavailable. This case report aims to describe an unusual presentation of ITB as ileocaecal perforation and to highlight diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. The method used was a descriptive case report of a 25-year-old woman who presented with watery diarrhoea, vomiting, diffuse abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, and cough, and subsequently developed generalized peritonitis requiring emergency exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperative findings revealed an ileocaecal perforation requiring segmental resection with primary anastomosis. Histopathological examination of the resected bowel and regional lymph nodes demonstrated necrotising granulomatous inflammation with caseation and Langhans-type giant cells, supporting the diagnosis of ITB. Microbiological tests such as GeneXpert and culture were not performed due to resource limitations. Postoperatively, the patient received supportive care, antibiotics, and standard anti-tuberculosis therapy. The results showed a favorable clinical outcome, with no early postoperative complications, discharge on postoperative day seven, and complete symptom resolution with weight gain and radiological improvement at follow-up. This case illustrates that when microbiological confirmation is not feasible, histopathology combined with timely surgical intervention and anti-tuberculosis therapy can support diagnosis and lead to successful management of complicated ITB.
