Abstract

This study aimed to assess the triage management of trauma patients among hospitals in the 5th District of Camarines Sur, Philippines, focusing on the interventions practiced by triage management team members and the relationship between their profiles and applied strategies. Employing a quantitative descriptive research design, data were collected through a validated questionnaire checklist administered to selected triage personnel. Statistical tools such as percentage technique, weighted mean, and chi-square test were utilized to analyze and interpret the data systematically. The findings revealed that hospitals have begun integrating strategic plans to equip triage personnel with essential knowledge and skills, thereby reducing the risks of overtriage and undertriage. Results also emphasized the importance of adopting standardized protocols and the need for a more comprehensive and evidence-based definition of trauma patients requiring specialized care. Furthermore, the study highlighted the significance of emergency preparedness—particularly during mass casualty incidents—through effective personnel deployment and structured triage systems. The introduction of an intervention-based triage management guide was found to enhance decision-making processes and patient prioritization. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term effectiveness of standardized triage training programs, as well as the development of region-specific protocols that consider local healthcare capacities, infrastructure, and challenges. Continued efforts in triage innovation and training evaluation are essential to advance trauma care practices and improve patient outcomes in diverse healthcare settings.

Abstract

This study explored the lived experiences of twenty-six (26) Filipino nurses working in the medical and surgical departments of Darlington Memorial Hospital (DMH), United Kingdom. Using a descriptive research design and a self-developed, expert-validated survey, the study examined their cultural adaptation, workplace environment, and support systems. It also analyzed the relationship between their demographic profiles (age, sex, civil status, length of service, and department) and these experiences. The results showed that most respondents were young (31–40 years old), female, married, and relatively new to DMH (1–3 years of service), with many working in the Operating Room. Overall, participants expressed positive experiences (grand mean = 3.16), with the workplace environment receiving the highest rating (mean = 3.29, "Strongly Agree"), particularly in understanding local healthcare practices. Cultural adaptation received the lowest rating (mean = 3.08, "Agree"), with participation in local community events identified as the most challenging aspect. Statistical analysis revealed significant relationships between age and all aspects of lived experience, between civil status and both cultural adaptation and support systems, and between length of service and both cultural adaptation and workplace environment. No significant association was found between department type and the nurses’ lived experiences. Based on these findings, the study recommends implementing culturally sensitive training, language and technical skills development, mentorship programs, enhanced mental health support, and community engagement initiatives. It also encourages experienced Filipino nurses to mentor newcomers and suggests that relevant Philippine agencies support these professionals through housing assistance and active workplace engagement.
