Abstract

This tracer study investigated the employment outcomes and competencies of the 2020 Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) graduates from Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges (CSPC). The study aimed to determine the graduates’ employment status, professional engagements, and the extent to which the college contributed to their soft and professional competencies. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data were collected via a validated survey administered to 27 out of 29 graduates, achieving a 93% response rate. Results indicated that 96% of graduates are employed in roles aligned with their nursing education, with 81% in regular positions, primarily in hospital settings. The majority found employment within three months of licensure. Graduates assessed the institution’s contribution to soft (e.g., communication, critical thinking) and professional competencies (client care, leadership, research) to be “to a great extent,” based on a 4-point Likert scale. A significant correlation was found between employment status and competency development. The findings underscore the relevance of CSPC’s nursing curriculum in preparing graduates for the workforce and highlight opportunities to expand international placement, postgraduate engagement, and advanced clinical training.

Abstract

This study explores the demographic profile of respondents from Barangay Sta. Justina focuses on educational attainment, civil status, family size, sources of income, monthly income, housing, types of dwellings, and sources of water supply. Data collection revealed that the majority of respondents are high school graduates, with a significant portion also having college-level education. Most respondents are married, and family sizes vary, with a notable presence of both males and females in households. The primary sources of income include farming, homemaking, and construction work, while construction work also serves as a major secondary income source. Monthly incomes primarily fall within the Php 4,501-5,500 range. Housing data indicates that most respondents own their homes, with a smaller percentage living with relatives or renting. Permanent types of dwellings are the most common, and the primary source of water supply is individual water facilities, supplemented by communal sources and deep wells. The findings provide a comprehensive overview of the socio-economic conditions in Barangay Sta. Justina highlights the intersection of various social determinants that influence the well-being of the community.

Abstract

Malnutrition among children under five remains a critical public health concern, impacting growth, development, and overall well-being. This retrospective cohort study was conducted to thoroughly examine the prevalence of malnutrition and its associated risk factors among children under five in the Second Congressional District of Camarines Norte. Data collection involved reviewing documents, specifically the records of 340 under-five children obtained from the Field Health Service Information System (FHSIS). These records were assessed using a guide checklist, with the data analyzed through percentage technique, prevalence rates, odds ratios, and multivariate regression analysis. Results revealed a predominance of male children, most aged 24-35 months, with parents largely employed, high school graduates, and earning household incomes of Php 5,000–10,000 per month. Mild to moderate household food insecurity was also noted, necessitating attention to prevent long-term health impacts. Low household income strongly predicted underweight status, while stunting was significantly associated with low maternal education and maternal unemployment. However, none of these factors were significant predictors of wasting. Furthermore, no significant correlation was found between malnutrition indicators (underweight, stunting, wasting) and healthcare service utilization, including routine check-ups, growth monitoring, and nutrition counseling. The study underscores the importance of targeted nutritional interventions addressing stunting and iron deficiency, coupled with strategies to improve maternal education and employment. A proposed plan has been developed to enhance the nutritional status of under-five children and reduce malnutrition prevalence through comprehensive, community-focused approaches.
