Abstract

Introduction: The increasing incidence of adolescent pregnancies underscores the critical need for parental involvement in providing sex education. Objective: This study explored the lived experiences, challenges, and insights of parents in educating their adolescent children about sex-related topics. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological approach was employed, with ten purposively selected parents from Kabacan, North Cotabato serving as key informants. Participants met the following criteria; having adolescent children, experience in providing sex education, and residency in the area. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method. Results: Thematic analysis revealed three major emergent themes: Parents’ Rendezvous in Sex Parenting, Overcoming Obstacles in Sex Parenting, and Sex Parenting Enlightenment. These encompassed subthemes such as serious conversations, feelings of discomfort, proper timing and discourse, learning from experience, and the need for professional guidance. Parents expressed both confidence and uncertainty in navigating conversations about sex, emphasizing the value of persistence, warmth, and support from healthcare professionals, particularly nurses. Conclusion: The findings affirm that parental sex education fosters communication, trust, and informed decision-making, which are essential in preventing premarital sex, early pregnancy, and early marriage. This study advocates strengthened collaboration between parents and healthcare professionals to enhance the sexual health literacy of adolescents and promote responsible behaviors

Abstract

Introduction: There is a pressing need to improve psychiatric nursing services by bridging the gap between technological competency and ethical, compassionate care. Objective: This study aimed to develop and propose a structured in-service education program for psychiatric nurses, grounded in Locsin’s Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing (TCCN) theory. Methods: The program was developed using the Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate (ADDIE) model. The proposed in-service education program consists of ten structured sessions, which are aligned with Locsin's five assumptions and three nursing processes. The planned evaluation includes participant reports and the use of the Technological Competency as Caring in Psychiatric Nursing Instrument (TCCNPNI), which assesses nurses' perceptions of their technological competency. This instrument allows for pre- and post-evaluations to determine the program's effectiveness. This education plan, rooted in TCCN theory, addresses the unique needs of psychiatric nurses working with vulnerable populations. Results: The anticipated outcomes highlight the potential of technology to enhance patient care quality and dignity in psychiatric settings. As technology becomes more integral to psychiatric nursing practice, nurses must not only develop technical competence but also uphold ethical sensitivity. Conclusion: This program provides a structured approach to achieving these competencies through continuing education.

Abstract

Introduction: Communication is central to effective nursing care and patient outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to assess nurses’ communicative competence as perceived by patients, focusing on the following domains, namely; interest in the patient as a person, understanding patient’s experience of illness, attention to context, and participation in care. Methods: Using a descriptive correlational design, the study surveyed 626 admitted patients from both public and private hospitals in Borongan City, adapting the validated 18-item Rochester Communication Rating Scale. Descriptive statistics summarized the patient respondents’ socio-demographic profiles, and Spearman’s rank correlation examined relationships between these variables and perceived communicative competence of nurses. Results: Showed that nurses demonstrated satisfactory communicative competence overall, with the highest ratings in understanding patient’s experience of illness (M=3.72, SD=0.939) and participation in care (M=3.71, SD=0.918), and comparatively lower scores in interest in the patient as a person (M=3.63, SD=0.900), and attention to context (M=3.28, SD=1.343). Correlational analysis revealed no significant relationships between socio-demographic profiles and perceived communicative competence of nurses, with correlation coefficients ranging from r = –0.063 to r = 0.067 and all p-values >0.05. These findings suggest that patients evaluate nurses’ communicative competence independently of their socio-demographic profiles. Conclusion: The study concludes that nurses demonstrate satisfactory communicative competence, yet gaps in contextual awareness remain. The study provides preliminary evidence supporting the universality of patient expectations for empathetic, participatory, and culturally sensitive communication. Findings emphasize the need for targeted professional development and institutional strategies to enhance consistent, patient-centered communication in similar healthcare settings.

Abstract

Introduction: This qualitative case study explored how nurses in a long-term care facility in the United Arab Emirates experienced the transition from paper-based documentation to an Electronic Medical Record system. As healthcare organizations increasingly adopt digital solutions, understanding nurses’ adaptation to technological change is essential for supporting effective documentation, communication, and patient care. Objective: The study aimed to describe nurses’ transition experiences, including perceived challenges, coping strategies, and the impact of the new system on their daily practice. Methods: Twenty-eight nurses participated in the study. Participants were first recruited through purposive sampling, and theoretical sampling was then used to include clinical nurse leads, a nurse informatics coordinator, and a director of clinical operations once initial themes emerged. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using conceptual and relational content analysis. Secondary institutional data, including system reports and audit findings, were integrated to provide additional contextual understanding. Results: Six themes captured the transition process, beginning with uncertainty and early system difficulties, followed by the development of coping strategies, changes in communication patterns, and recognition of improved documentation accuracy and long-term value. The integration of secondary data supported these themes, showing gradual improvements in system use and documentation quality over time. Conclusion: The study concludes that electronic medical record implementation in long-term care settings requires attention to technical readiness, emotional responses, and the social dynamics of change. Supportive training, leadership engagement, and continuous feedback processes are essential for achieving a smooth and sustainable transition.

Abstract

Introduction: The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continues to rise worldwide, with many individuals remaining undiagnosed until complications develop. Standard diagnostic procedures are effective but often costly and inaccessible in community settings, causing delays in early detection and management. Objective: This study aimed to develop and apply a digital risk assessment system to identify individuals at risk of developing T2DM in a selected community in Angeles City. The system was designed as a cost-effective, non-invasive, and nurse-led screening tool to support early prevention and promote proactive health initiatives within the community. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was conducted in two phases following approval from the Ethics Review Committee. Phase 1 involved system development and evaluation by community health nurses using a 16-item questionnaire. Phase 2 involved applying the system to 372 community residents using another 16-item questionnaire to generate individual risk profiles. Data were analyzed using percentage, frequency, mean, and standard deviation. Results: The system achieved “best imaginable” ratings in usability, information quality, and interface design, demonstrating its appropriateness for community application. Risk distribution showed that 42.74% of respondents were at low risk, 37.37% slightly elevated, 10.48% moderate, 8.60% high, and 0.81% very high risk for T2DM. Conclusion: The developed system offers a non-invasive, low-cost tool for identifying T2DM susceptibility and empowering early preventive action. Integrating such tools into nursing practice can enhance community screening programs, guide tailored health education, and strengthen primary health care. Raising awareness of personal susceptibility is vital to fostering proactive health behaviors, reducing disease burden, and advancing community-based nursing interventions.

Abstract

Introduction: Previous studies on nursing career choice commonly emphasize interest in healthcare, job security, and social influence; however, limited literature explores why non-STEM Senior High School graduates pursue the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), particularly in the Philippine context. Objective: This study aims to contribute to the knowledge base of the nursing profession and catalyze or help develop positive changes and improvements in different sectors. Methods: This quantitative descriptive-correlational study examined the factors influencing BSN students who did not graduate from STEM strands in Senior High School to pursue a nursing career, guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Using purposive non-random sampling, 105 participants completed a survey assessing career opportunities and job safety, interest in healthcare, family and peer influence, perceived prestige, institutional characteristics, and selected demographic variables. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Career opportunities and job safety (M = 3.36) and perceived prestige and societal expectations (M = 3.26) were strongly influential in career choice. Interest in healthcare (M = 2.98) and institutional characteristics (M = 2.94) were influential, whereas family and peer influence (M = 2.42) was not. TPB assessment showed a very positive attitude toward BSN (M = 3.55), moderate parental influence (M = 2.97), and moderate perceived behavioral control (M = 2.95). Demographic variables were not significantly associated with any factor. Among TPB constructs, attitude, parental subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly influenced career choice. Conclusion: The study concludes that non-STEM students’ motivation to pursue BSN is driven primarily by career-related considerations rather than social influence or prior academic alignment.
