Rotating assignments in infectious and non-infectious wards: Nurses' experiences Espedion, Mia Flor R. In nursing, rotating assignments involves the rotation of the nursing staff from one department to another to aid in increasing their capacity to care. (Charampolis et al., 2021). However, rotating assignments were associated with lower quality of life and poorer health outcomes among nurses (Huang et al., 2015). One study found out that nurses who have experienced job rotation showed negative attitude towards it, have low levels of organizational commitment and high level of work related stress (Lee et al, 2012). It can also impact the quality of patient care, as nurses may be less familiar with the processes in their new assignment and they may be resistant towards it (Anjali,2023). Together with the negative impacts of rotating assignments, it may compromise the health and well-being of nurses. In this descriptive qualitative study, the experiences of nurses with rotating assignments from the infectious to noninfectious wards were described. The six (6) participants share three (3) themes which are the following: (1) challenges in rotating assignments, (2) learning to adapt and (3) skill development. The three themes highlighted the complexities of rotating assignments during a pandemic. Each subject is further emphasized by evidence that underlines the necessity of IPC compliance, discusses the problems encountered, examines adaption options, and emphasizes the value of professional development. These findings illustrate nurses' perseverance and devotion in tackling enormous obstacles. Abstract only

Experiences of nurse managers in implementing discipline among staff nurses Pabiona, Fia D. Nurse managers (NMs) often encounter emotional, professional, and structural challenges when implementing staff discipline, usually without formal training. This descriptive qualitative study explored the experiences, motivations, challenges, and strategies of six nurse managers purposively sampled from a private hospital in Iloilo City. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Five major themes emerged: “Challenges in Diversity", highlighting intergenerational conflict; "Collective Wisdom", emphasizing peer mentorship; "Drive to Discipline", rooted in patient safety; "Emotion-Driven", underscoring emotional intelligence; and "Value of Structure", stressing timely, transparent, and consistent institutional support. The findings confirm that effective discipline is a developmental process that requires adaptive leadership and consistent procedural justice. Organizational investment in managerial training, emotional support, and clear institutional structures is crucial for empowering NMs to foster a resilient and accountable workplace culture, thereby improving care management.

Level of compliance to the National Accommodation Standards among Department of Tourism accredited hotels Almagro, Hanah D. This study determined the level of compliance to the national accommodation standards among Department of Tourism-accredited hotels. The Philippine tourism industry is experiencing rapid growth, particularly in Iloilo City, leading to an expansion of the hotel sector. However, challenges exist regarding the effectiveness of the mandatory accreditation system and the consistency of compliance with national standards. This research aimed to understand the extent to which hotels in Iloilo City meet these standards and identify potential differences in compliance based on employee demographics, and customer characteristics. The study employed a survey research design using a structured questionnaire to gather data from 150 participants employees, and customers from five Department of Tourism-accredited hotels. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics (frequency count, percentage analysis, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Kruskal-Wallis H test, Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test) to explore differences across demographic variables. Findings revealed that hotels in Iloilo City generally conform to national accommodation standards, with full compliance in areas like food and beverage services and business practices. Consistent adherence to these standards was observed across different employee and customer profiles, suggesting uniformity in their assessments of the hotel compliance to standards regardless of their demographic characteristics. Recommendations include enhancing compliance in public areas, offering tailored guest services, and prioritizing continuous training and feedback systems to maintain consistent service quality and guest satisfaction across diverse demographics.

Health literacy, help-seeking behaviors, and resilience among student nurses in a selected private college of nursing Fabila, Renelyn T. Student nurses are vulnerable to psychological distress such as anxiety, depression, and stress. While they may experience less distress than frontline healthcare workers, they still face emotional challenges. This study aimed to determine the levels of health literacy and help-seeking behavior among student nurses, and how these factors contribute to enhancing their resilience. A descriptive-correlational design was used. Respondents were randomly selected student nurses from a private college of nursing in Antique, Philippines for the academic year 2024–2025. Data were collected through survey questionnaires after ethical clearance was granted by the CPU-RERB. Descriptive statistics summarized the data, and Spearman’s Rho determined the relationships between variables. Results showed that health literacy and help-seeking behavior were at moderate levels, while resilience was high. A strong positive correlation was found between health literacy and help-seeking behavior (ρ = 0.787, p = 0.000), and a moderate positive correlation between help-seeking behavior and resilience (ρ = 0.466, p = 0.007). These findings suggested that student nurses with higher health literacy are more likely to seek help, and that increased help-seeking behavior significantly contributes to stronger resilience. Promoting health literacy and encouraging proactive help-seeking can enhance student nurses’ ability to cope with psychological challenges. Abstract only
