Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of culture shock among freshmen students at a Philippine state university, where education is highly valued as both a familial legacy and a personal investment. Using a phenomenological approach, the study explores the lived experiences of ten high-achieving freshmen living independently at a state university in Laguna, Philippines. Thematic analysis reveals profound academic and social challenges impacting students’ academic performance, acculturation, and overall well-being. These challenges include: (1) Navigating a new academic environment and rigor, (2) Mastering time management and navigating lifestyle adjustments, (3) Managing finances and maintaining scholarships, (4) Adapting socially and culturally, (5) Managing expectations and pressure, and (6) Challenges to psychological and emotional well-being. Furthermore, the study identifies key coping strategies employed by these students, including seeking support networks – family, friends, peers, organizations, and scholarships – and developing personal adaptive mechanisms, primarily relying on self-help. These findings highlight the multifaceted nature of culture shock and offer valuable insights for university policies aimed at supporting incoming students’ cultural and academic adjustment.

Abstract

Despite the prevalence of sandwich generation Filipino women in the Philippines, their nuanced and unique experiences of being caught in the middle of two or more generations remain an understudied social phenomenon. The present study is a phenomenological research study that aimed to investigate the lived experiences of sandwich generation Filipino women and how they made sense of their circumstances amid the backdrop of intergenerational caregiving and the associated burden they carry. The study utilized purposive sampling in gathering eight sandwich generation Filipino women participants living in Metro Manila, who were later interviewed through one-on-one, in-depth interviews. Data was then transcribed and analyzed through thematic analysis; wherein significant themes were generated to produce meaningful narratives depicting intergenerational caregiving among sandwich generation Filipino women. Specifically, the findings of the study revealed that these women assume the primary caregiver role and fulfill domestic along with economic responsibilities due to a perceived sense of responsibility to pay back or help their families coupled with gender roles and norms. It is a deliberate choice that they make daily as they go through both rewarding and challenging experiences. In moving forward, they aspire for the future generation to have more agency and autonomy over their lives. The study shed light on the struggles of sandwich generation Filipino women, hence providing information on how different entities can pave the way for the increased visibility of unpaid care work and upholding Filipino women’s full rights.
