Demographic characteristics, determinants of knowledge, and attitude towards vasectomy among male professors in a private university in Iloilo City Baladiang, Aubrey Jannis B.; Balagosa, Johannah Ysabel F.; Balnig, Yves Mc Louise S.; Balogo, Aissey Joy O.; Banglos, Dave Stephen R.; Barba, Amejr Tonette D.R.; Barrios, Cassandra Jade H. The study investigated demographic characteristics that were related to the knowledge and attitude of male professors regarding vasectomy as a family planning method. The Philippines has faced challenges in reproductive health with a population of over 113 million and ranked seventh out of 51 countries in Asia based on data from the United Nations. However, vasectomy remained an understudied and underused contraceptive option despite its importance in family planning. Studies had indicated that cultural and societal norms played a part in influencing attitudes towards vasectomy; it could either support or hinder acceptance depending on the context. Male professors, who often hold influential positions in academia, might have been affected by these societal pressures, yet there is limited research exploring how these dynamics may affect their perspective towards the procedure. The study aimed to identify factors influencing knowledge and attitudes about vasectomy among male professors at a private university. Using a descriptive correlational approach, the research examined demographic variables such as age, civil status, religious affiliation, place of residence, and number of children. A sample of 50 respondents was selected through stratified random sampling, and data were collected via a survey questionnaire. Statistical analysis, including Cramer's V and Gamma Value, was conducted using SPSS. Results indicated that civil status significantly influenced knowledge levels (Cramer's V = 0.358, p = 0.040), while age and religious affiliation did not. The findings revealed prevalent concerns about vasectomy's safety, pain, and social stigma and highlighted the importance of education and support systems in improving attitudes towards vasectomy. These insights were valuable for policymakers and stakeholders in developing strategies to promote male participation in family planning. Abstract only

Household characteristics and mental health status among student nurses in a private university Imperial, Hannah Ysabel A.; Hojilla, Germaine Gem G.; Ibale, Carrie Kirsten O.; Infante, Vinnes Ann V.; Intoy, Patricia Rose J.; Jabatan, Eleighda Marie S. Online learning has reduced teacher-to-student and student-to-student communication, leading to increased depression, anxiety, and stress among students, while household characteristics including family nature, authority, parents’ education level, attitude, and income, significantly influence students’ mental health (Chang et.al., 2021). The study aimed to determine household characteristics and student nurses’ mental health status in a private university during the second semester of academic year 2022-2023. The study utilized a quantitative research design, focusing on a sample size of 173 third-year student nurses out of a total population of 306. Study population was divided into eight sections, with respondents proportionally selected from each section. A mental health questionnaire was used to assess participants’ mental health. Results and discussions delved into household characteristics affecting mental health status, responses based on the questionnaire, and crosstabulations linking household characteristics including nature of family, authority figures, and parents’ educational status, parenting styles, attitude of parents towards children, financial status, conflict in tasks and household chores, conflict in academic roles and roles as family members, and background noises to mental health status. Findings revealed that identified household characteristics including parental treatment, conflicts between academic responsibilities and household chores, inadequate support and understanding from family members, and background noises during live video lectures contribute significantly to mental health challenges faced by student nurses, emphasizing the need to foster a supportive and nurturing home environment, particularly during times of increased academic and personal stress. This provides valuable insights in addressing mental health needs among student nurses. While the study was limited to a specific university and population, a more comprehensive approach involving a broader range of participants could provide a more holistic understanding of the topic. This contributes to the ongoing dialogue on mental health support within educational settings, particularly for student nurses, and underscores the importance of considering household dynamics in promoting overall well-being.

Factors influencing the decision to go abroad among student nurses at a private university Camarinas, Winsel Therese G.; Canonero, Elian Remdell A.; Canilao, Arabel C.; Cantomayor, Kervy B.; Capillo, Joebuen May G.; Caras, Phoebe T. The Philippines, being the leading exporter of nurses in Asia, is facing a 'Brain Drain.' This phenomenon involves the emigration of professionals to other countries, resulting in a significant reduction of skilled workers in their own nation. This research delves into the factors affecting the decision of student nurses to go abroad, with a total of 174 student nurses, predominantly female participants, aged around 23, from both rural and urban backgrounds within a private university in Iloilo City. Employing a descriptive and correlational quantitative design, the study examined the sociodemographic factors which are age, sex, place of residence, parent’s profession and family income and the environmental and educational factors which are views on migration, aspirations to migrate, influence of the family and educational experience. Data was collected using Google Forms. The students electronically signed an informed consent form provided by the researchers. The Researchers used SPSS for data processing and analyzed univariate data using frequency distributions, percentages, and means. They employed inferential statistics, including Pearson's correlation, to explore relationships between variables. Findings highlight the significant impact of perceptions of career prospects and financial opportunities abroad on students' willingness to migrate. While family influence was apparent, it did not emerge as a significant predictor, prompting further inquiry into its role. Additionally, despite a perceived adequacy of the curriculum in addressing health challenges and valued faculty guidance, infrastructural improvements and overall satisfaction are deemed necessary. Notably, statistical analysis identified views on migration and aspirations for migration as the primary predictors of students' decisions to work abroad. These insights provide valuable implications for educational institutions and policymakers in addressing nursing workforce dynamics and fostering global healthcare engagement among student nurses.

Knowledge, attitude, and performance in nursing informatics among student nurses in a private university in Iloilo City Clavel, Vince Ben-Ammi M.; Colot, Nicole S.; Conejar, Catherine Ray S.; Dable, Trisha J.; De Los Reyes, Fiona Mari R. In today's rapidly changing healthcare environment, nurses must integrate evidence- based nursing informatics in order to effectively manage both long-term and immediate medical conditions. The field of nursing informatics, an intersection of nursing science, computer science, and information science, facilitates data handling and exchange in nursing practice. Despite global acknowledgment, there is a lack of local research on nursing informatics, particularly in the Philippines. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and performance in nursing informatics among student nurses in a private university in Iloilo City. The researchers employed a stratified random sampling technique to identify respondents and made a physical questionnaire to perform the study. Part 1 of the questionnaire contained the personal data, Part 2 were the grades of the respondents, Part 3 had 10-item questions using a four-point likert scale, and Part 4 included 15-item questions made by a lecturer in nursing informatics. Content validity was used to know if the questionnaire was fully representative of what it aimed to measure. Cronbach's alpha of 70% or higher was used to assess the reliability. Moreover, the gathered data were organized, tabulated, and encoded for computer processing. The data was processed and analyzed using a statistical package for social sciences. Tools for both descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted using the appropriate tools. According to the study’s findings, the majority of the respondents were 21 years old (69.4%), followed by 22 years old (19.7%), and 20 years old (10.9%). The majority of the respondents were female (74.8 %) and less than one fourth of them were males (25.2%). Majority of the respondents (81.0%) have a high level grade point average (1-1.5) in their nursing informatics class, followed by the average level (17.7%) (1.75-2.25) and low level (0.7 %) (2.5-3). Majority of the respondents (81.6%) were highly competent in terms of their performance in applying their knowledge in nursing informatics, followed by fairly competent (17.7%), and poorly competent (0.7%). Majority of the student nurses (99.3%) were highly attentive and the remaining were fairly attentive (0.7%) in the area of nursing informatics. There was no significant relationship between the profile of the respondents in terms of Age and Sex and knowledge, attitude, and performance in nursing informatics. On the other hand, there was a significant relationship between the knowledge and performance in nursing informatics of the respondents; but there was no significant relationship between the attitude and performance in nursing informatics of the respondents.
