Abstract

This research examines digital identity formation among Filipino content creators on TikTok. The participants were 21 Filipino content creators, aged 20 to 46 and were interviewed through an online platform. Utilizing a Grounded Theory approach, it aims to generate insights into how content creators navigate digital spaces, shaping their digital identity and fostering connections. The study identifies three selective codes : Identity Construction, Embodiment of Online Persona, and Building Social Currency, each encompassing various sub-themes that underscore the strategic and dynamic nature of digital identity formation. The research also presents five distinct phases in content creators' digital identity formation on social media platforms: Exploration, Uncovering Niche, Targeted Audience, Publishing Contents, and Integration of Digital Identity, elucidating the progression from initial curiosity to the establishment of a digital identity.Keywords: Digital Identity; Social Media; Content Creators; Tiktok

Abstract

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) signifies the final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), often necessitating kidney transplants or hemodialysis for survival. Hemodialysis imposes significant limitations on patients' daily lives, potentially leading to psychological issues. Prior studies have examined hemodialysis patients' experiences and quality of life, but the Philippine context, particularly among young adults, remains understudied. This research aims to describe the lived experiences of young adult hemodialysis patients, understand their perceptions of life-and-death risks, and explore changes in their quality of life and mental health. The study employed descriptive phenomenological research with thematic analysis, involving five young adult patients undergoing hemodialysis. Themes such as difficulty understanding their situation, dealing with life’s difficulties, life of uncertainty, and psychological impacts emerged from the data which provided insight into the experiences of young adult patients. Understanding these experiences can enhance care, support, and overall quality of life for young adult hemodialysis patients.
