Abstract

This study explored the impact of hot weather on the academic performance and physical health of 3rd-year nursing students at the University of Saint Anthony. Using a descriptive quantitative method, data were collected from 82 respondents through a structured questionnaire. The majority of participants were female, aged 21–23, and experienced average classroom temperatures of 34°C and above. Findings revealed that high temperatures “often” affected students’ academic performance, while the impact on physical health occurred “sometimes.” Heat stress was linked to decreased concentration, fatigue, and lower information retention, posing a challenge to nursing students who face rigorous academic and clinical demands. The study underscores the need for institutional interventions to create a more conducive learning environment amid rising temperatures. An intervention plan was proposed to help mitigate the negative effects of heat exposure on nursing students.

Abstract

Internationally recruited nurses must adapt not only to new healthcare systems but also to unfamiliar cultural and social environments. This study examined cultural adaptation and support resources among Filipino migrant nurses employed at Darlington Memorial Hospital in the United Kingdom and explored associations with selected demographic and employment characteristics. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among 26 Filipino nurses recruited through purposive sampling. Participants completed a self-developed, expert-validated questionnaire using a four-point Likert-type scale. The analysis focused on cultural adaptation and support system domains. Descriptive statistics and exploratory Pearson correlation analyses were performed. Participants reported generally favorable cultural adaptation (mean = 3.08). Managing cultural differences in the workplace received the highest rating (mean = 3.35), whereas participation in local community events was lowest (mean = 2.42). Perceived support resources were also favorable overall (mean = 3.11). Maintaining contact with family and friends in the Philippines received the highest rating (mean = 3.85), while access to housing assistance was lowest (mean = 2.46). Cultural adaptation was significantly associated with age (r = .55, p = .003), civil status (r = .64, p < .001), and length of service (r = .44, p = .026). Support resources were associated with age (r = .40, p = .041) and civil status (r = .58, p = .002). Findings suggest that workplace cultural adjustment may coexist with limited community integration and continued reliance on transnational family support. Targeted organizational support may facilitate broader adjustment.

Abstract

This paper explores the educational policies in the Philippines that focus on the integration of information technology (IT) in public schools. It analyzes the core government initiatives, such as the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP), the Public Schools of the Future in Technology (PSOFT) Act, and the establishment of the Public Education Network (PEN). These policies are examined for their objectives, implementations, and impact on educational equity and quality. Furthermore, the study compares these initiatives with similar efforts in other countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, to highlight best practices and implementation gaps. The paper also addresses the challenges faced in the implementation of these policies and provides recommendations to optimize the digital transformation of the Philippine educational system.

Abstract

This study explores the complex relationship between anxiety, stress, and the digitalization of education among students. The transition to online learning and the increasing reliance on digital tools have intensified the challenges students face in adapting to new educational technologies. The demands for constant connectivity, the overwhelming amount of information, and the need to navigate digital platforms contribute to heightened stress and anxiety. Additionally, the reduction in face-to-face interactions and the prevalence of social comparison on digital platforms have further exacerbated mental health issues. This review synthesizes existing research on the impacts of digital education, emphasizing the need for strategies that address students’ psychological well-being. By understanding the factors that contribute to anxiety and stress, educators can create more supportive digital learning environments, promoting both academic success and mental health.

Abstract

This paper explores the evolving psychology of the Digital Native, a term commonly used to describe individuals who have grown up in the digital age and are inherently familiar with technology. With the advent of the internet and its ubiquity in everyday life, the behaviors, cognitive patterns, and mental frameworks of individuals have drastically shifted. The objective of this article is to present a critical examination of the psychological implications of this digital immersion and offer a conceptual framework for understanding the interaction between scrolling, clicking, and thinking in the context of the Digital Native. This paper employs a comprehensive literature review to analyze recent research on the digital behaviors and cognitive patterns of Digital Natives, using sources published within the last decade for up-to-date insights. Digital Natives' constant digital immersion reshapes cognition, leading to efficiency in information use but also to overload, distraction, and reduced critical thinking. This shift impacts education, work, and development, requiring strategies that support deep thinking and focus.

Abstract

This study explored the coping mechanisms utilized by individuals who experienced healthcare adversities and examined their effects on psychological well-being. Although healthcare systems are intended to promote healing, some individuals encounter negative experiences such as delayed diagnoses, invasive procedures, neglect, miscommunication, and stressful medical environments, which may lead to emotional distress, anxiety, fear, avoidance, and reduced trust in healthcare systems. The study employed a qualitative research design, using interviews with participants who experienced healthcare adversities within the past five years, and Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) to identify themes and patterns. Findings revealed that participants utilized both adaptive coping strategies, such as emotional support, cognitive reframing, and problem-solving, and maladaptive coping strategies, including avoidance and denial. The study found that coping mechanisms significantly influenced participants’ psychological outcomes and resilience. Based on these findings, a community-based psychoeducation management plan was developed to promote adaptive coping skills, resilience, and accessible psychological support through psychoeducation, workshops, and group discussions, highlighting the importance of community-based interventions in addressing healthcare-related distress and promoting mental well-being.

Abstract

This study assessed the level of functionality of Child Protection Policy (CPP) implementation in public secondary schools in the Schools Division of Albay during the school year 2024–2025. This study employed a descriptive-correlational quantitative research design. The respondents consisted of 92 designated guidance coordinators and guidance counselors, while 60 respondents participated in the survey on the challenges encountered in policy implementation. The gathered data were analyzed using frequency count, weighted mean, and F-test or Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The findings revealed that CPP was generally partially functional across the five major categories used in assessing implementation processes. It was found that schools have already created basic structures and processes for the Child Protection Committees (CPCs); nevertheless, many other aspects were still considered to be in the initial developmental stages, especially with respect to resource generation, child participation, monitoring, and capacity building. Components under service delivery, such as the referral system and case management, performed relatively better than others. There was no significant difference in the degree of functionality of CPP based on whether the schools are big or small, and based on the CPP focal person's position designation in the school. Problems that were reported included difficulties in conducting meetings in the CPC, insufficient policies and guidelines, inadequate budget provision, lack of skilled personnel, poor monitoring and evaluation, and inconsistent practices. However, the schools generally considered the need for strengthening the implementation process to protect and promote the welfare of their learners.

Abstract

Internationally recruited nurses must transition into healthcare systems that may differ substantially from those in which they were educated and previously employed. This study examined workplace integration and professional adaptation among Filipino migrant nurses employed at Darlington Memorial Hospital in the United Kingdom and explored associations with selected demographic and employment characteristics. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among 26 Filipino nurses recruited through purposive sampling. Participants completed a self-developed, expert-validated questionnaire using a four-point Likert-type scale. The present analysis focused on the 10-item workplace environment domain. Descriptive statistics and exploratory Pearson correlation analyses were performed. Participants reported favorable workplace experiences overall (mean = 3.29). Understanding local healthcare practices and protocols and adapting nursing practice to cultural contexts received the highest rating (mean = 3.46). Professional development and access to resources each received a mean of 3.38, while workplace belonging was also rated favorably (mean = 3.35). Participation in team meetings or departmental activities received the lowest rating (mean = 3.12), followed by supportive leadership and clarity of reporting structures (both mean = 3.15). Workplace scores were significantly associated with age (r = .52, p = .007) and length of service (r = .51, p = .007), but not with civil status or clinical department. The findings suggest relatively strong clinical and procedural adaptation alongside opportunities to strengthen organizational participation, communication, and structured support. Comprehensive onboarding, mentorship, leadership support, and sustained professional development may facilitate the workplace integration of internationally recruited nurses.

Abstract

Internationally educated nurses are essential to the United Kingdom workforce, but migration requires adjustment to new professional expectations, communication practices, social environments, and support structures. This study described cultural adaptation, workplace environment, and support systems among Filipino nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital (DMH), United Kingdom, and examined their relationships with selected demographic and employment characteristics. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among 26 Filipino nurses who had worked at DMH for at least six months. A self-developed, expert-validated questionnaire assessed cultural adaptation, workplace environment, and support systems using a four-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficients were used. Most participants were aged 31-40 years (69.24%), female (76.92%), married (53.85%), and had worked at DMH for 1-3 years (50.00%). Workplace environment had the highest domain mean (3.29, Strongly Agree), followed by support systems (3.11, Agree) and cultural adaptation (3.08, Agree). Understanding local healthcare practices and adapting nursing practice to cultural contexts was highly rated (3.46). Regular contact with family and friends was the strongest support item (3.85), whereas community participation (2.42) and housing support (2.46) were the lowest. Age was significantly correlated with all three domains; civil status with cultural adaptation and support systems; and length of service with cultural adaptation and workplace environment. Department was unrelated to the three domains. Filipino nurses reported generally positive workplace experiences, but community integration and practical settlement support remained weaker. Structured mentorship, culturally responsive orientation, psychosocial support, and practical relocation assistance may strengthen adaptation.

Abstract

Hypertension is a leading global health burden, affecting over a billion adults, yet fewer than a quarter achieve adequate control. In Indonesia, hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Patients often struggle with sustained self-care. This study explored self-care practices and barriers to hypertension management among patients, caregivers, and nurses in a primary healthcare in Bandung. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used. Twenty participants were purposively recruited, comprising seven patients, seven family members, and six nurses. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Colaizzi’s method. Trustworthiness was ensured through credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability criteria. Two themes emerged. Self-care practices included medication adherence, dietary modification, physical activity, stress management, blood pressure monitoring, and smoking cessation, though these were inconsistent. Barriers included cultural dietary norms, misconceptions about medication, limited knowledge and motivation, financial constraints, and fear of complications. Hypertension self-care in Indonesia is shaped by complex cultural, social, and economic challenges. Culturally sensitive, family-centered, and nurse-led interventions are needed to strengthen self-care and improve outcomes.
