Abstract

Background: COVID-19 pandemic has become a severe health threat to the Philippines and around the world. At the early onset of the pandemic, it is imperative to measure the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among healthy individuals to better understand the causes, transmission, and preventive measures. Purpose: This study aimed to identify the knowledge, attitude, and practice towards COVID-19 in a healthy Filipino population during the early onset of the pandemic outbreak.Methods: This cross-sectional rapid online and web-based survey was conducted among healthy Filipino population. A total of 1634 subjects participated via the Google survey link. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the respondents' profile characteristics and KAP scores. The One-Way ANOVA or independent sample t-test was used to measure KAP scores' differences when grouped according to respondents' profile characteristics. Pearson correlation was used to measure the relationship among the KAP scores. The data were all analyzed using the SPSS version 26.0. Results: The overall knowledge scores revealed 67.7%. Filipinos believed COVID-19 would finally be successfully controlled and confident that the Philippines can win the battle against the virus through preventive practices. KAP scores showed significant differences with age, sex (p<0.000), and place of residence (p<0.000), occupation (p<0.000), and marital status (p<0.000). A significant positive low correlation between knowledge and practice (r=0.076, p<0.01), attitude and practice (r=0.100, p<0.01).Conclusion: Albeit a low knowledge of COVID-19, healthy Filipino populations had a positive attitude and compliant with the preventive measures. This study hopes to contribute to the growing corpus of literature on COVID-19 to provide evidence-based information towards health promotion, illness prevention, and control of possible virus' spread.

Abstract

Modern nursing faces increasing challenges, including depersonalization, burnout, and the fragmentation of care delivery. In response, the Theory of Communion-in-Caring provides a transformative framework that re-centers nursing on its relational, moral, and spiritual dimensions. The objective of this review is to critically examine the theory’s conceptual, methodological, and practical contributions to nursing science. A qualitative content review was conducted on the first edition of the book, focusing on its philosophical assumptions, theoretical foundations, methodological proposals, practical applications, and future directions. Thematic analysis guided the data organization, using conceptual clarity, methodological rigor, contextual relevance, and interdisciplinary potential as key evaluative criteria. The review highlighted the theory’s grounding in Filipino cultural values and global relational ethics, positioning caring as a sacred communion of mutual presence and transformation. The theory promotes methodological pluralism, including phenomenology, narrative inquiry, and mixed methods that align with its relational ontology. It offers concrete strategies for nursing education, clinical practice, and administration, with promising interdisciplinary and community-based applications. Despite challenges in measurement and implementation, the theory presents a culturally authentic and philosophically coherent model of care. In conclusion, the Theory of Communion-in-Caring makes a timely contribution by restoring dignity, empathy, and relational meaning in nursing, offering a valuable paradigm for both local and global healthcare contexts.
