Abstract

Introduction: The second victim phenomenon—the psychological and emotional distress experienced by healthcare professionals following an adverse clinical event—remains underexplored in the Philippines, particularly after high-alert medication (HAM) errors. Objective: This study described second-victim-related experiences and their emotional and professional impacts and explored nurses’ lived experiences to inform support interventions. Methods: A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was used. In Phase 1, 200 registered nurses at a tertiary hospital in Metro Manila completed an initial screening survey; 21 who self-reported involvement in an intravenous HAM error within the previous three years completed the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool–Revised (SVEST-R). Descriptive statistics were used. In Phase 2, six nurses with moderate-to-high second-victim-related distress participated in phenomenological interviews analyzed using Colaizzi’s method. Results: Among the 200 screened nurses, 21 (10.5%) reported involvement in an intravenous HAM error, most commonly a wrong-dose error during routine medication administration. Reported contributing factors included high workload, distractions, poor communication, and fatigue. SVEST-R findings indicated psychological, physical, and professional impacts and limited perceived organizational support. Six qualitative themes described emotional distress, threats to professional identity, heightened vigilance, support and stigma, coping and resilience, and calls for system-level change. Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for structured support, confidential debriefing, just-culture leadership, and integration of emotional support into patient-safety policies.

Abstract

Introduction: Cervical cancer remains a major yet largely preventable health concern among women in Pakistan, where prevention is hindered by low awareness, sociocultural stigma, fear of gynecological examination, limited access to screening services, and a shortage of female healthcare providers. Objective: This narrative review synthesizes available evidence on cervical cancer screening awareness and uptake in Pakistan and explores how gynecology nurses can support prevention through education, counseling, community outreach, screening facilitation, referral guidance, and follow-up care. Methods: A structured narrative literature search was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and relevant organizational reports, prioritizing literature published between 2015 and 2025. Following screening and eligibility assessment, 40 sources were included in the final narrative synthesis. Results: The reviewed evidence indicates that screening uptake in Pakistan is limited by inadequate knowledge, low perceived risk, embarrassment, stigma, cost, transportation difficulties, weak preventive health infrastructure, and the absence of organized screening pathways. Findings from Pakistan and comparable low-resource settings suggest that gynecology nurses are well positioned to improve screening awareness and access by providing culturally sensitive education, building trust, guiding women through available services, and supporting timely referral and follow-up. Conclusion: Strengthening the role of gynecology nurses through structured training, institutional protocols, and community-based outreach may improve cervical cancer screening awareness and support women’s access to preventive care in Pakistan.

Abstract

Introduction: Coastal communities in the Philippines represent a critical yet persistently underserved area of public health, where geographic remoteness, environmental risks, and systemic resource limitations collectively hinder the effective delivery of essential healthcare services. While nurses play a central role in healthcare delivery in these communities, their lived experiences and the implications of these experiences for perceived care quality remain insufficiently explored. Objective: This study aimed to explore the lived realities of nurses in coastal community settings and how these realities shaped their perceptions and delivery of care. Methods: The study employed a qualitative phenomenological design and purposive sampling to recruit 10 registered nurses from a Level 1 hospital and selected rural health units in Bulacan, Philippines. Data were gathered through semi-structured face-to-face, telephone, and online interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step phenomenological method. Results: Three themes emerged: (1) Steered by Humanistic-Altruistic Values: Foundations of Nursing Practice in Coastal Settings; (2) Sailing through Barriers: Challenges in Coastal Health Delivery; and (3) Keeping Heads Above Water: Adaptive Coastal Nursing Strategies. Conclusion: Participants described sustained commitment despite significant barriers to healthcare delivery and reported extending beyond their formal roles to bridge systemic gaps. Although resilience and adaptive practices helped them maintain essential services, policymakers must establish adequate infrastructure and institutional support to ensure safe and sustainable care delivery without compromising nurses’ well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Seizure disorders are among the most common neurological conditions affecting adolescents and may disrupt developmental, emotional, and social functioning. Despite increasing global evidence, studies exploring the lived experiences of Filipino adolescents with seizure disorders remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of Filipino adolescents with seizure disorders, focusing on their challenges, coping mechanisms, and perceived quality of life. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological design was utilized. Eight adolescents aged 12 to 18 years diagnosed with seizure disorders were selected through criterion sampling. Data were gathered using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi’s method. Results: Four major themes were identified and collectively represented by the acronym AURA: Adversity and Anxiety, Uncertainty and Fear, Rising Above Adversity, and Acceptance and Personal Growth Through Experiences. Participants described stigma, emotional distress, and reduced autonomy resulting from the unpredictable nature of seizures. Despite these challenges, they demonstrated resilience through a range of coping strategies, family and spiritual support, structured routines, and gradual acceptance supported by meaningful social relationships. Conclusion: Filipino adolescents with seizure disorders experience complex emotional, social, and developmental challenges while demonstrating resilience through adaptive coping, social support, and acceptance. These findings underscore the importance of holistic, adolescent-centered care that integrates psychosocial support with clinical management to promote their well-being and quality of life.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is characterized by an irreversible and progressive decline in kidney function and remains a major global public health concern. Its increasing prevalence in the Philippines is concerning; however, few studies have examined patients’ lived experiences within the country’s cultural and healthcare context. Objective: This study aimed to describe Filipino patients’ transition from chronic kidney disease diagnosis to hemodialysis initiation in Bulacan, Philippines. Methods: This descriptive phenomenological study used purposive sampling to recruit six participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method. Results: The findings indicated that most participants experienced fear, anxiety, denial, abrupt lifestyle changes, and physical discomfort during the initial stages of treatment. As they continued their treatment journey, they gradually became more accepting and adjusted to their new reality despite experiencing considerable physical, emotional, and financial difficulties. This process was supported by their families, healthcare providers, peers, and spirituality. Conclusion: The participants’ experiences underscore the importance of providing holistic, patient-centered care, greater emotional support, and structured education to improve the overall health and quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
