Abstract

Excessive phone use has already impacted academic achievement and perceived sociability of students, but the intensity of screen time has worsened with the transition to online learning. Consequently, students tend to delay their tasks as they are easily distracted. This research examines the influence of gadget dependency on the academic procrastination levels of students. It employs a descriptive correlational research design and gathered data from Grade 12 STEM students. Overall, the degree of gadget dependency among students is high, whereas academic procrastination level is moderate, and these two measures have a significant relationship. Analysis shows that students from ROC are significantly higher in both areas. However, sex and screen time do not impact the extent of gadget dependency and academic procrastination. Saliently, learning modality induces gadget dependency and academic procrastination levels. In conclusion, gadget dependency directly affects academic procrastination levels. Findings also suggest further research on other related effects of online and distance learning.

Abstract

The adoption of the “nine-star pharmacist” concept by the International Pharmaceutical Federation has transformed the pharmacy practice from a drug and quality control-focused profession to a multifaceted field. However, there is still inequitable pharmacist distribution among career sectors. Also, alarming is the exceeding interest in a specific pharmacy field. Hence, it is crucial to assess pharmacy students' attitudes and preferences toward various pharmaceutical sectors. This descriptive research determined the career preference of 4th- year Pharmacy students of a Private College for Academic year 2021- 2022. It also determined the factors that influence their choice. Data analysis was done using frequency, percentage, mean, Standard Deviation, and Kruskal-Wallis in SPSS. Results revealed that most graduating prefer community pharmacy as their career choice. It also highlighted that experience of the curriculum course, training, influence of family & friends, and knowledge of the career opportunities in various pharmacy fields are factors that influence their career choice. Lastly, career preference alone is not a sufficient indicator to measure influence on choice of pharmacy graduates, and other variables for demographic profiling should be included. Moreover, a support program in the pharmacy curriculum for systematic delivery of information and skills pertinent to effective development of competent professional pharmacists is encouraged.

Abstract

Sleep is an integral component of maintaining overall health and well-being. Inadequate sleep can result in detrimental effects, both on mental and physiological aspects. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students' sleep quality was extensively examined, there remains a dearth of literature investigating the prevalence of sleep quality after the shift to a post-pandemic lifestyle. This study utilized a descriptive design and gathered data from 202 randomly selected grades 11 and 12 STEM students. We found that 68.81% of them have poor sleep quality. Data also showed that female students obtained high PSQI scores and had a significantly higher prevalence of poor sleep quality than males. However, there was no significant difference in sleep quality between grade levels. In conclusion, sleep quality among STEM students in the post-pandemic setting is poor, implying the need for further assessment of influencing factors in students' sleep patterns, strategies, and management skills. Furthermore, students should be educated on the importance of sleep and the negative consequences of poor sleep quality on regular activities, mental & physical health, and general well-being.
