Antimicrobial stewardship program: An institutional assessment of core elements and perceived barriers in private hospitals in Iloilo City
Get PDFAbstract onlyInfectious diseases kill millions of people around the globe and the discovery of antimicrobial agents revolutionizes the ability to treat infectious diseases. However, over the past years, the use and misuse of antimicrobials have caused emergence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) pathogens that threaten the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents in the cure of infectious diseases (File, 2014). To address the increasing concern on AMR, this study was conducted to have an in-depth picture of the Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) Program, including their perceived barriers, in the lens of healthcare professionals in participating private hospitals in Iloilo City. The study utilized the Case Study approach, which is a qualitative research, designed to explore and deepen the understanding on how people experience a certain topic (Creswell 2013). A purposive sampling technique was used to intentionally select a group of people that can provide in-depth information regarding the phenomenon of interest which is the AMS program. A total of seven (7) participants agreed to be interviewed for the study. Out of them, only three (3) participants agreed to be observed in their place of work. The participants consisted of Infection Control Nurses and Pharmacists. Data were collected using multiple sources of information which includes interviews, direct observations, and checklist review. Frequency Count, Percentage, and Mean were used to describe the quantitative data in the study, and Content Analysis was used to describe the qualitative data in the study. Findings of the study showed that healthcare professionals attending the AMS program are mostly young professionals. Pharmacists and infection control nurses involved in antimicrobial stewardship is not primarily dominated by one sex. Instead, there is an almost equal distribution between the sexes. Furthermore, most of the participants have more than a year of experience in their respective professions. Analyzing the quantitative data in a holistic perspective, AMS program implementation is very good in the education core element. Despite some hospitals lagging in the policy, guidelines and clinical aspect, the consolidated information showed that this is the second highest implemented core element. Third to fifth in the hierarchy is the leadership support, surveillance of AMU / AMR and action. Most of the participants verbalized lack of financial support, limited IT-capability and non-compliant healthcare professionals as barriers in the implementation of the AMS program. Narratives, direct observations and checklist review of both pharmacists and infection control nurses showed similarities in their perception of the AMS program. This implies that hospitals do not vary significantly in their perception, instead they do share the same experiences and challenges when implementing the program protocols. With this knowledge, we can already identify the issues that need to be addressed to strengthen and enhance an AMS program which will benefit and improve the healthcare system in our locality.Includes bibliographical referencesMaster of Arts in Nursin

Emotional intelligence and job performance of nurses in the third district of Iloilo
Get PDFAbstract onlyEmotional intelligence has the power to better explain people’s workplace performance. As attributed to the influence of emotional intelligence on each aspect of individuals’ work-life, the high-level possessed emotional intelligence employees are considered as “star performers”. The job performance of nurses may differ from one hospital to another. For instance, there are nurses that are highly competent in all aspect of patient care while there are those nurses perform their job satisfactorily.
This descriptive correlational study was conducted to describe the emotional intelligence and job performance of nurses as well as to determine the relationship between variables. There were 120 regular staff nurses in plantilla position that were all working in the hospitals located in the third district of Iloilo for the calendar year 2019-2021. The nurses were asked to answer the research instrument through a Google form that was sent to their verified social media account. Frequency counts, mean score, and percentage were utilized to describe the data while for the relationship of variables: Cramer’s V, Gamma and Pearson’s r were used.
The results of this study revealed that majority of the nurses were young adults, average of 34 years old and mostly baccalaureate degree holders. Moreover, the results of this study showed that nursing is still a female-dominated profession, and females are assigned mostly in general ward. A higher percentage of the nurses need to enhance further their emotional intelligence and majority of the nurses have satisfactory job performance.
Hypothesis testing showed that there was a relationship between area of assignment and self-confidence, and area of assignment and job performance. The influence of the assigned area of the nurses on their emotional intelligence was evident where their self-confidence increases as they are practicing the skills they have learned. For the job performance, it is observed that when the nurse experiences a good, conducive working environment, s/he is motivated to perform better.
Chief nurses, nursing supervisors, and other nursing administrators are encouraged to develop a learning environment to improve their nurses’ emotional intelligence as well as to continue the outstanding performance of their nurses so as to enhance further their other related skills. For staff nurses, it is suggested to have collaborative efforts to comprehend the competence of emotional intelligence that would help one another develop a pattern of behavior in harmony with their colleagues. In essence, it is advocated to have a holistic approach on how to maintain excellent performance and assist everyone in areas that need a much greater improvement.Includes bibliographical referencesMaster of Arts in Nursin

Factors influencing the decision not to retire among the retiring personnel of Iloilo Provincial Government
Get PDFJournal articleThis study was conducted primarily to determine the factors influencing the decision not to retire among the retiring personnel of Iloilo Provincial Government and to find out the relationship between the factors occupational, economic and psychological and their decision not to retire. The study utilized the one-shot, researcher-made questionnaire. The enumeration method was utilized by purposely determining the 75 retiring personnel with age ranging above 60 but below 65 years old as respondents. The level of statistical significance was set at 0.05. Results showed that when the retiring personnel was categorized in terms of gender, civil status, office, length of service and monthly salary, majority of the retiring personnel were females, were mostly married, have been serving the office for 36 to 40 years, had a monthly salary ranging 20,000 and below and mostly from the General Services Office (GSO). The occupational factor was found to have a strong extent of influence in the decision of the retiring personnel not to retire before the age of 65, while economic and psychological factors were found to have a moderate extent of influence. The result showed that a little less than half (41.3%) of the retiring personnel were firm in their decision not to retire before the age of 65 even though their concerns were already satisfied. A significant result with a low correlation was noted between the psychological factor and decision not to retire among the retiring personnel. This finding was supported by the results of Cramer’s V. The result was interpreted using Garrett’s Interpretation of Coefficient of Correlation. It was recommended that retiring personnel should be encouraged to attend programs, training and seminars to prepare them for the soon transition. The organization should revisit existing programs conducted focusing on psychological factors and well-being of the retirees to develop post-retirement plans

Organizational support and resilience among nurses in a COVID referral hospital
Get PDFAbstract onlyThe COVID-19 virus outbreak has placed a significant strain on the healthcare delivery system and global economic stability. Excessive work pressure among nurses is one of the negative consequences that challenged the degree of resilience. Perceived organizational support is one of the factors that could mitigate the negative consequences brought about by this complex health emergency.
The study explored the extent of the relationship between the organizational support and resilience among nurses in a COVID referral hospital in the province of Aklan, Philippines. This study is descriptive correlational and employed a one-shot survey design to ninety-eight (98) nurses with specific status of employment: permanent, contractual, and casual. The respondents were experienced in a highly-competitive situation caused by the complex pandemic. The researcher utilized questionnaires on the perceived organizational support 36-item scale and the Connor-Davidson 25-item resilience scale, both adopted with corresponding permission to use. Ninety-eight (98) responses were collected with a rate of 87 percent (n = 98). The findings revealed that seven out often nurses receive a low level of perceived organizational support (73.4 percent). On the other hand, seven out often nurses had a high-to very high degree of resilience (72.4 percent). The findings also revealed that nurses expect the organization to consider increasing their salary and to have an active role in decision-making. Considerably, it is recommended to promote a strategic arrangement, particularly in pay levels, and to initiate collaboration between managers and staff nurses, especially in organizational management.
Furthermore, a Spearman’s Rho correlation coefficient value of .319 and significance value of .001 was determined. This study shows how nurses’ perceptions of organizational support are related to the degree of their resilience in the workplace, demonstrating a direct, moderate, and significant relationship. Therefore, it was concluded that organizational support has an impact on nurses’ degree of resilience towards the pandemic.Includes bibliographical referencesMaster of Arts in Nursin
Proposed two-storey design of Zion Baptist Church in Ledesco, Lapaz, Iloilo City
No full textThis project study proposes a two-storey Zion Baptist Church in Ledesco Avenue, Lapaz, Iloilo City to solve the problem of the Zion Baptist community of renting costly spaces for weekly church services and of holding various events in different locations. The designed structure has a capacity range of 150 to 300 people and has rooms with different functions. The building incorporates green technologies such as natural lighting and natural ventilation by utilizing glass windows with films. The study includes architectural, structural, electrical, and plumbing designs and specifications; cost estimates; and a construction project schedule. The reinforced concrete structural members were designed using the Ultimate Strength Design (USD) method while the steel truss members were designed using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), both based on the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) 2015. The proposed project has a floor area of 243.67 sq. m . per floor, with an estimated cost of PHP 7,763,946.80 and a construction duration of about 210 working days. Donations, sponsorships, and collections from fundraising activities for this project are integrated into the financial plan of the church community. Structural prestressed beams are recommended to substitute the long-span conventional beams designed to provide better vertical clearance headroom in the congregation area. A phase-by-phase construction of every floor level is also suggested to be able to use the finished floors soonest as well as regulate the cash flow for the construction of this proposed building.Includes bibliographical references (149-150)Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineerin
