The objectives of the study are to identify the sources of stress, to analyze the impact of stress on job performance and to examine the relationship between demographic variables and sources of stress. A sample of 50 respondents has been chosen for the study from 25 leading private hospitals in Tirunelveli city using purposive sampling technique. The study has analyzed organization related stressors, Medical Record Technicians" specific stressors, impact of stress on job performance and coping strategies being followed. Primary data has been collected by self developed questionnaire consisting of 54 questions. Simple percentage, weighted average and chi square method have been used to analyze the data. Hypothesis have been framed and tested. The results of the study indicate that long working hours and rigid policy with regard to the working hours, performing multiple tasks at the time are the foremost stressors and committing mistakes in the record is the foremost impact of stress and talking to someone about the feeling is the mostly followed coping strategy.

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.

To achieve these objectives, the study has sampled 200 respondents (100 respondents from both multispeciality hospitals and 100 from diagnostic centres) using both judgement and convenience sampling techniques. Primary data have been collected, from the chosen respondents, 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, Mean and Standard Deviation have been utilised to analyse the data. The results of the study have discovered that tiredness and low energy; body pain; and difficulties in sleeping are the topmost health problems among the radiographers working in both organizations. 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 remain last in line. The comparative analysis found that the perception of the respondents of both kinds of organizations remains the same towards all the health problems discussed in this study except the following health problems: Depression, anger, emotional disturbance; digestive disorders; and skin and eye problems-these been perceived little bit high by the respondents working in the multi-speciality hospitals than diagnostic centres. However, the level of perception towards all these health issues remains the same: High.

Accurate diagnosis of the diseases is crucial to initiate the right treatment whereas inaccurate diagnosis will cause negative outcome, which will put patients at risk. Radiographers play a crucial role in diagnostic profession and contribute to the medical personnel to diagnose the diseases accurately. At the same time, radiographers, among other categories of paramedical employees in the health care sector, are more vulnerable to numerous health related issues (varying from headache to cancer in light of their nature of jobcontinuous exposure to high radiation rays). It not only endangers their physical health, but also impinges on their mental health. Sound health of radiographers is paramount to support them delivering productive outcomes, which assists the medical personnel to diagnose the underlying diseases of patients accurately and initiate the right treatment. On the contrary, the ill-health of radiographers not only distresses their own health and stakes the routine function of the department. It can also be a main source of reason for the inaccurate diagnosis by the medical personnel, which will eventually endanger the treatment of patients and also put the reputation of organizations at risk. Thus, since the health problems of radiographers remain a serious threat to patients and reputation of organizations, it is inevitable to analyse their health issues and find out the appropriate ways to prevent them from occurring. In view of this concept, this survey based on descriptive research has been undertaken in Tirunelveli City, Tamil Nadu with the objective of examining various health problems of radiographers working in private multi-speciality hospitals. In order to know the health-related problems, the present study has examined nine variables related to both physical and mental health. The study has sampled 60 radiographers using both convenience and judgement sampling techniques. Primary data for the study have been collected using the questionnaire method. Secondary data have been collected from books, journals and websites. Percentage has been administered to understand perception of radiographers towards various health-related problems. The result of the study has discovered that tiredness and low energy, body pain, difficulties in sleeping, depression, anger, emotional disturbances and digestive disorders are the foremost health-related problems. Skin and eye problems, urinary tract infection, diabetes mellitus and hypertension, irregular menstruations, weight loss and hair loss are the next foremost health-related problems of radiographers. The perception of the respondents to the discussed variables is moderate.

with the respondents to collect primary data. The secondary data have been collected
from books, journals and websites to add significant to the study. The result found
that the training had low effect on the factors, self motivation, positive attitude, ability

collected using a questionnaire method with the assistance of an interview

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.
