Predisposing factors and prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among faculty members of a College of Nursing at a Private University in Iloilo City Leonardo, RJ Carl A.; Leonor, Ark Raphael N.; Lesondra, Marianne P.; Lim, Ivo Jan Derick S.; Lo, Dominique Ann B.; Lopez, Mary Mae V. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) among faculty members of the College of Nursing at a private university in Iloilo City. Using a descriptive correlational research design, the study explored the relationship between several factors, including genetic history, stress exposure level, and lifestyle such as diet, exercise, smoking status, alcohol intake, and the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among the faculty members of a College of Nursing at a private university in Iloilo City. Data were gathered from 82 faculty members selected through random sampling specifically draw lots method. The questionnaires given were content validated and adapted from different authors. These include Perceived Stress Test by Levenstein et al. and Physical Activity Rating Scale by Jackson et al. Descriptive statistics (mean, frequency, percentage and tables) and inferential statistics (Pearson’s r, Cramer’s V) were used, set at a 0.05 level of significance. Among the variables, the researchers found out that stress exposure level, diet, smoking engagement, and alcohol intake has no bearing on the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among faculty members, thus, it means there is no relationship between them. Only genetic history and exercise adherence has bearing on the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Abstract only

Sociocultural adaptation and mental well-being among foreign college students at a Private University Aboboto, Dhens Zydrix S.; Acielo, Kjetil Josth J.; Adelantar, Reinard Val S.; Aguilar, Kristhia Mae P.; Alimon, Glercky M.; Allado, Ma. Lourdes Monica A.; Altubar, Shawn Bryan B. Moving to a different country is often difficult for most international students. The process of trying to adapt to the new environment in an entirely different place may be quite difficult for new students as they may face many challenges that can lead to adverse effects on their mental health. This study identified how sociocultural adaptation impacts mental well-being among foreign students enrolled in one of the private universities in Iloilo City. This study sought to establish the relationship between adjustment to culture and changes in mental health. Data were collected from 57 respondents through validated instruments, including the Sociocultural Adaptation Scale-Revised (SCAS-R) and the Psychological Well-Being Scale utilizing a descriptive correlational design. Using Spearman’s correlation test with a significance level of 0.01, the study shows a significant positive correlation between sociocultural adaptation and mental well-being among foreign college students. Respondents also demonstrated high value for feedback and generally performed well in managing academic/work responsibilities. A notable strength lies in respondents’ perception of life as a continuous process of learning and growth, with a significant proportion strongly agreeing with this statement. Furthermore, a considerable number value challenging experiences, exhibit a willingness to share with others, and possess a great sense of direction and purpose in life. The results emphasized the importance of culturally competent interventions and support systems to address the individual needs of international students. This can benefit educational institutions, healthcare providers, and policymakers to enhance the academic success and overall well-being of foreign students, thereby fostering global student mobility and promoting intercultural understanding.

Environmental conduciveness to studying and academic performance among student nurses at a Private University Tabang, Glysie Cane B.; Tabares, Ma. Yllah S.; Tamson, Abby Lorraine C.; Tan, Mary Denise B.; Tandog, Nelly Amor J.; Tanoy, Chrisjen Gwen S. Studying provides the necessary knowledge, skills, and mind set to thrive in various environments and circumstances. A conducive study environment can be a valuable tool in helping individuals strengthen their foundations for future success. This study aimed to determine the environmental conduciveness to studying and academic performance among student nurses at a private university in Iloilo City, Philippines. The researchers used a descriptive-correlational design. Using stratified random sampling (N = 1004, n = 287), data were collected using an 18-item adapted questionnaire. Majority of the respondents were female (75.3%), with a mean age of 20.4 years. Most students preferred to study at home (74.2%). Among the environmental factors, only lighting showed a strong positive relationship with academic performance (p = 0.002), while noise, temperature, and internet connectivity were statistically not significant (p = 0.790, p = 0.553, p = 0.706) respectively. These findings corroborate the study of Kiziltunali (2023) that a higher chance of success may result from optimal lighting, which tends to increase overall performance while reducing eye strain and fatigue, contrary to Martinez et al. (2020) who found inconsistent lighting effects on performance. This study highlights the complex relationship between environmental factors and academic success, emphasizing the importance of study conduciveness. Abstract only

Lived experiences of students diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome at a Private University De la Peña, Hazel Marie C.; Dago, Meka Ellen C.; Daria, Justine Kaye M.; De la Puerta, Mary Pauline C.; de los Santos, Janielle Gayle G.; de los Santos, Anne Gabrielle N.; De Pedro, Chelsey Coleen C. This study explored the lived experiences of students diagnosed with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using Colaizzi’s method of phenomenological analysis. Three major themes emerged: (1) the importance of awareness and education, (2) the personal impact and journey of living with PCOS, and (3) the social and interpersonal effects of the condition. Participants described emotional challenges such as mood swings, frustration, and shame, often worsened by societal beauty standards and a lack of understanding from others. Misconceptions and stigma led to feelings of isolation and emotional withdrawal. Despite these difficulties, many showed resilience and found strength in receiving a diagnosis, which helped them understand their symptoms and seek appropriate care. Supportive relationships with family, friends, and partners were vital in managing the condition. The study emphasizes the need for greater awareness, early diagnosis, and a more compassionate healthcare approach. Living with PCOS is not just a medical issue but a complex journey that impacts emotional well-being, identity, and social life. Abstract only
