Abstract

The objectives of this survey, quantitative, and empirical-based descriptive research study, undertaken in Tirunelveli city of Tamil Nadu, India, are: To identify the perception of the radiographers towards various healthrelated problems, and to find the relationship between the demographic variables of the respondents and their health problems. To achieve these objectives, the study has sampled 200 respondents (100 respondents from both multi-speciality hospitals and 100 from diagnostic centres) using both judgement and convenience sampling techniques. Primary data have been collected using a questionnaire method with the assistance of an interview mothed. The secondary data were collected from books, journals, websites, and conference proceedings. Percentage, Weighted average, and Kruskal Wallis tests have been administered to analyze the data. The results show: tiredness and low energy; body pain; and difficulties in sleeping are the topmost health problems. Depression, anger, emotional disturbance; digestive disorders, and skin and eye problems are the next foremost health problems. Urinary tract infection; Diabetes mellitus and Hypertension, and irregular menstrual, weight loss, and hair loss are the least problems. The hypotheses testing proves: the demographic variables―age, salary, place of stay, educational qualification, work experience, and work shift have a significant relationship with the health problems, whereas the variables―marital status, native place, and job situation have no significant relationship with the health problems of the radiographers
