Abstract:
This study investigates the role of radiologic technologists in health promotion and disease
prevention at Lorma Medical Center and Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center, focusing on
their activities in patient education, radiation safety, health campaigns, professional growth, early
detection, and advocacy to public health. Data were collected through structured questionnaires
to evaluate the consistency and effectiveness of these activities. The results show that while
radiologic technologists excel in patient education and radiation safety, there are opportunities
for improvement in health campaigns and lifestyle education. Overall, the findings underscore
their significant contribution to public health and suggest that enhancing professional
development and community outreach could further optimize their impact on health outcomes.
In conclusion, radiologic technologists are essential in enhancing patient outcomes and reducing
chronic disease risk through health promotion activities, and it is crucial to support their
involvement and strategically enhance their practices to achieve better public health outcomes.
