Abstract

Background & Aim: Indoor air pollution is a significant health threat, yet public awareness remains low, particularly in regions like the Philippines. This study assessed household awareness of indoor air pollution sources in a barangay in Cagayan de Oro City. Using the Health Promotion Model by Nola Pender and the Environmental Theory by Florence Nightingale, it sought to understand factors influencing awareness and inform health programs addressing indoor air pollution in the community. Methods & Materials: This study used a descriptive correlational design to explore how demographic factors influence awareness of indoor air pollution sources in a barangay in Cagayan De Oro City. Surveys, translated into the local language and validated through pilot testing, were administered to 264 randomly selected respondents. Statistical analyses, including T-tests and ANOVA, were conducted to assess associations between demographic variables and awareness levels. Results: Significant differences were observed in respondents' awareness levels of indoor air pollution sources across age groups, with middle-aged individuals demonstrating the highest awareness. Females exhibited consistently higher awareness compared to males across all pollution sources. Educational attainment influenced awareness levels, with postgraduates showing the highest awareness. Conclusion: The study revealed significant correlations between demographic factors and respondents' awareness of indoor air pollution sources. Age, gender, and educational attainment influence awareness levels, motivating individuals to prioritize proper ventilation for health preservation. Recommendation: Clinical practitioners should prioritize health education programs targeting middle-aged individuals, females, and those with higher educational attainment levels in addressing indoor air pollution awareness, emphasizing the importance of proper ventilation practices for health preservation and promoting healthier indoor environments in communities

Abstract

Background & Aim: Domestic waste, encompassing various types like food, recyclable, garden, and hazardous waste, poses significant challenges in rapidly urbanizing areas like Cagayan de Oro City. This study aimed to assess compliance with domestic waste disposal practices in a selected barangay, focusing on proper disposal, segregation, and reuse. Methods & Materials: A descriptive research design was employed to evaluate compliance with domestic waste disposal practices among Cagayan de Oro City barangay residents. Surveys were conducted with randomly selected respondents aged 20 to 65, covering waste disposal, segregation, and reuse. Stratified random sampling ensured proportional representation from various zones within the barangay, with a sample size of 349 respondents determined using Cochran's formula. Results: Significant differences were found in compliance based on age and gender, with middle-aged individuals and females showing higher levels, especially in reuse. Employment status significantly influenced compliance, with retirees and the unemployed exhibiting higher levels compared to employed. No significant differences were observed based on education, socio-economic status, or information source. Conclusion: Gender and employment significantly influenced compliance, with men showing greater disposal compliance and women demonstrating higher adherence to segregation and reuse. Age also played a notable role, particularly in influencing reuse practices. Targeted interventions considering these factors are essential for enhancing waste management strategies. Recommendation: Clinical practitioners should focus on tailored waste disposal programs to improve compliance with domestic waste disposal practices, emphasizing the importance of proper segregation, reuse, and disposal techniques to foster cleaner and healthier communities in rapidly urbanizing areas.

Abstract

Background & Aim: Eating behaviors are vital health indicators, particularly among young adults aged 20-37, warranting attention in communities like Barangay Indahag, Philippines. This study analyzed how demographic factors influence eating habits in this context. Utilizing Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model, associations between gender, occupation, socio-economic status, physical activity, and food choices were explored to inform interventions promoting healthier eating. Methods & Materials: Employing a descriptive-correlational research design. Surveys and a modified questionnaire based on the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire collected data on restrained, emotional, and external eating behaviors. Statistical analyses, including the F-test, ANOVA, and T-tests, identified significant associations between demographic variables and eating behaviors. Results: Gender differences were significant, with females exhibiting higher levels of restrained eating while males showed more external and emotional eating behaviors. Females tended to be more weight and appearance-conscious, while males leaned towards indulging in appealing food options. No significant disparities were found based on occupation, socio-economic status, or weekly physical activity. Conclusion: Most respondents were females, unemployed, and had low incomes, engaging primarily in household physical activities and consuming high-calorie foods. Predominantly exhibiting External Eating Behavior, restrained eating was rare, and emotional eating was absent. Recommendation: Clinical practitioners in Barangay Indahag should prioritize interventions aimed at addressing gender-specific eating behaviors, such as restrained eating among females and external/emotional eating among males, to promote healthier eating habits and reduce the risk of eating disorders.
