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

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) has been recognized globally as critical for preparing health professionals to deliver collaborative and patient-centered care. In the Philippines, however, IPE remains in its early stages of development, with limited standardization across institutions and scarce research focused on faculty perceptions. Faculty play a vital role in implementing and sustaining IPE initiatives, making their perspectives essential to understanding the current landscape and barriers to IPE integration.Purpose: This study aimed to assess the perceptions of IPE among faculty members teaching in allied health programs in the Philippines and to identify factors influencing their attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed, surveying 328 faculty members from accredited Philippine institutions through a self-administered online questionnaire. Participants were selected using convenience sampling. The Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) was used to measure perceptions, with excellent internal reliability (Cronbach’s α=0.984). Statistical analyses, including independent t-tests and one-way ANOVA, were conducted using SPSS version 27 after checking for normality (Shapiro-Wilk test) and homogeneity of variance (Levene’s test).Results: Faculty members demonstrated generally positive perceptions of IPE, particularly in valuing collaboration and recognizing the need for cooperation. No significant differences were found in overall perception scores based on age, gender, region, or years of teaching experience in the academe and years of clinical or professional practice in their respective health fields. However, statistically significant differences were observed across programs for perceived need for cooperation (p=0.000) and perception of actual cooperation (p=0.001), indicating a gap between intent and practice.Conclusion: While allied health faculty in the Philippines express supportive attitudes toward IPE, actual interprofessional collaboration remains limited. These findings highlight the need for faculty development initiatives, institution-wide policy frameworks, and longitudinal research to bridge the gap between perception and practice. Strengthening IPE implementation will be crucial to preparing future healthcare professionals for collaborative roles in improving patient outcomes.
