Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of coping strategies on the perceived stress and life satisfaction of Guidance Practitioners in Private Secondary Schools in the Province of Cavite. The study utilized descriptive-correlational design. The participants in this study were fifty three (53) guidance practitioners from private secondary schools in the province of Cavite that were determined through the use of purposive sampling technique. Majority of the participants were affiliated in non-sectarian private secondary schools. Most of them were guidance advocates and guidance associates. There were only few registered guidance counselors participated in the study. In addition, majority of them were 4-6 years in service as guidance practitioners. An online survey was conducted through google forms to the participants to measure the three main variables of the study: Perceived Stress Scale by Sheldon Cohen, Brief-COPE by Charles Carver, and Satisfaction with Life Scale by Ed Diener. The findings revealed that most of the participants have a moderate level of perceived stress. The participants were also obtained a high level of coping strategies. And, most of them are satisfied with their lives at present. The results also showed that there was moderate small negative relationship between perceived stress and life satisfaction level of the participants. However, there was no significant relationship between the perceived stress and coping strategies in terms of problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping except to the avoidant coping that was significantly related to the perceived stress. Overall, the perceived stress and coping strategies were not significantly related. Also, the coping strategies and life satisfaction were not significantly related. Furthermore, the findings revealed that coping strategies did not serve as mediator on the relationship of perceived stress and life satisfaction. However, the perceived stress is negatively significant predictor of life satisfaction. With all of this, the study recommends that the Department of Education, Philippine Guidance and Counseling Association and future researchers utilize the findings of this study as a guide and to further enhance this study for the benefit of the guidance practitioners.

Abstract

Amputation in military service leading to discharge and transition difficulty is the Philippines was still yet to resolve, a focus on training the jungle and sea division of the military was made in order to train the soldiers for the different terrains that they will engage the rebels on. Over the years, numerous studies were already made on the narratives of the discharged military veterans for both honorable and dishonorable discharges yet there was little to no studies centered around the lives of the medically discharged amputees after leaving the organization. This study aims to narrate the lived experiences of the medically discharged amputees, more specifically a qualitative research study that details their personal lives after leaving the organization. A total of five (5) medically discharged amputees were interviewed face to face in this study and a total of four (4) themes were generated which are ‘Post-Medical Discharge Experience’, ‘Overcoming Adjustments’, ‘Self-Concept’, and 'Personal Goals’. The results showed the difficulty of the amputees to accept their new condition and the engagement in drinking alcohol or using cigarettes to lighten their burdens. The importance of financial stability was also widely discussed fueling a discussion for the consideration of the benefits that the amputees do receive after leaving the organization.

Abstract

This study aims to know the lived experiences of parents in co-parenting relationships, specifically qualitative research that explores their life as someone in a co- parenting relationship. A total of nine (9) parents in co-parenting relationships were interviewed online or face-to-face. A total of six (6) superordinate were generated including ‘Living Through Family Transition,’ Navigating Life Changes and Challenges in Co- parenting.’ ‘Parenting Style and Family Members’ Adjustment in Co-parenting Setup.’ Emotional Connection.’ ‘Views on Formation of Parent and Child Emotional Bond,’ and ‘Proudest Moments and Beneficial Support for Co-parents.’ The study’s findings revealed that participants’ experiences in co-parenting relationships are viewed as challenging and emotionally exhausting, often requiring significant adjustment and emotional resilience. Despite these difficulties many parents emphasized that their co-parenting relationships were less toxic compared to when they were still in relationship with their ex-partner, which allowed them to have a more stable and manageable environment for both them and their children. Aside from these challenges, parents also have positive views of co-parenting with increased cooperation for both parents and having shared commitment with their children’s well-being. A support social activity module was proposed to enhanced and to support the families in co parenting setup relationships in raising a family and child rearing practices.

Abstract

Nursing is a psychologically and emotionally stressful profession where students have to reconcile the demands of school, clinical practice, and strength. This paper has discussed the connection between self-efficacy and impostor syndrome among students in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Cavite State University – Main Campus and whether there exists a sex difference in the variables. A total of 258 officially enrolled third- and fourth-year students were identified as having participated in the study in Academic Year 2024-2025 using total enumeration and purposive convenience sampling within the study with the descriptive comparative-correlational design. Frequency and percentage distributions, median, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman rho and Fisher Z test were used as statistical analyses. Findings showed that the impostor feelings were common among both male and female students with average scores of 67.61 and 68.41 respectively which was categorized as frequent impostorism. Nonetheless, the level of self-efficacy in both groups was high with the mean scores of 30.98 and 29.66. There was no notable difference between the sexes in impostor syndrome (t = 0.392, p = 0.696), whereas, there was a notable difference in self-efficacy (U = -2.229, p = 0.026) with males having more confidence. The combination of intense impostor experiences and strong self-efficacy points has complex preparation in nursing education students believe they are competent but cannot learn to have their victory. These results indicate that self-efficacy can serve as an armor but a weak one against self-doubt.

Abstract

This study examined the role of companion animals in mental well-being by comparing pet owners and non-owners in selected areas of Cavite and by exploring how emotional attachment to pets relates to well-being among owners. Grounded in biophilia, attachment, and ecotherapy perspectives, the study addressed whether having a companion animal supports healthier emotional functioning. A descriptive-comparative-correlational research design was employed. Data were collected using standardized self-report measures of mental well-being and pet attachment and were analyzed through chi-square tests and Spearman correlation analysis. Results revealed a significant difference in mental well-being between groups. A majority of pet owners reported above-average mental well-being, while most non-owners fell within the average range, with the difference reaching statistical significance. Among pet owners, levels of attachment varied across domains, with higher emotional closeness and reliance on pets compared to lower engagement in animal welfare and rights. Correlation analyses showed that all attachment domains were positively and significantly associated with mental well-being, indicating that stronger emotional bonds with pets consistently aligned with higher psychological well-being. Based on these findings, the program “FURtitude FUR-ever Well” was developed to promote mental well-being through structured therapy-animal interactions, relaxation activities, community involvement, and responsible pet care. Overall, the study highlights companion animals as meaningful emotional supports and underscores the importance of the quality of bond between human and animal in fostering mental well-being.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between visual aesthetic experience and emotion regulation among 139 millennial residents (aged 29-44) in City of  Imus, Cavite. Using a descriptive-correlational design, participants completed the Aesthetic Experience Questionnaire (AEQ) measuring emotional, cultural, perceptual, understanding, flow-proximal conditions, and flow-experience domains, and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) assessing cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. Results revealed that most respondents exhibited low levels of overall visual aesthetic experience (53.2%) and low emotion regulation in both cognitive reappraisal (52.5%) and expressive suppression (54.7%). Spearman Rho correlation analysis demonstrated significant positive relationships between overall aesthetic experience and both cognitive reappraisal (r = 0.461, p < 0.001) and expressive suppression (r = 0.283, p < 0.001), indicating that deeper engagement with visual art corresponds to enhanced emotion regulation capabilities. The cultural domain showed the strongest correlation with cognitive reappraisal (r = 0.487, p < 0.001), while flow-proximal conditions correlated most strongly with expressive suppression (r = 0.326, p < 0.001). Based on these findings, the researchers developed "Artful Awareness," a program designed to transform passive art viewing into intentional emotional practice through structured activities including Emotion Landscape Mapping, Inner Voice Portrait, and Emotion Regulation Grid, Art Engagement, and Mark Your Emotions exercises. This module aims to enhance both aesthetic sensitivity and adaptive emotion regulation strategies among millennials in community settings.

Abstract

Youths of working age often experience stress that may influence their preparedness to enter the workforce. This study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived stress and employment readiness among Filipino young adults enrolled in selected higher education institutions in the Province of Cavite. Understanding this relationship is important in identifying areas where students may require support as they transition from academic life to employment. The study employed a quantitative, descriptive correlational research design involving 555 participants determined through G*Power analysis. The respondents were Filipino young adults aged 18 to 24 who were full-time fourth- and fifth-year bachelor’s degree students enrolled during the first semester of Academic Year 2025–2026 in six selected higher education institutions located in Bacoor, Dasmariñas, and Imus, Cavite, and were selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered using standardized instruments, namely the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) developed by Sheldon Cohen to measure perceived stress and the Work Readiness Scale (WRS) developed by Caballero et al. (2011) to assess employment readiness. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, tests of normality, and correlational analysis to determine the association between the variables. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents exhibited moderate levels of perceived stress and moderate levels of employment readiness. Students demonstrated strengths in organizational skills and social competencies, while lower levels were observed in personal characteristics and practical work competencies.
