Management practices among ambulant vendors in Iloilo City
No full textAbstract onlyThis study investigated the management practices of ambulant vendors in Iloilo City, focusing on Henri Fayol's Classical Management Theory, the four core functions of management: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling (POLC). Utilizing a descriptive research design, the study surveyed 100 ambulant vendors selected through convenience sampling. Data were gathered using a validated, researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using mean, percentage, frequency count, Kruskal-Wallis H Test and Mann-Whitney U Test. Results revealed that vendors moderately practiced all four management functions, with organizing being the most practiced and leading the least. Demographic factors such as age, sex, educational attainment, marital status, and years of operation showed varying influence on the vendors’ management behaviors. Despite operating informally, vendors demonstrated an intuitive application of managerial principles, shaped by experience and necessity. The findings underscore the need for capacity-building initiatives tailored to this sector, highlighting how formal management education and policy support can enhance the efficiency and sustainability of ambulant vending in urban areas. This research contributes to understanding the dynamics of informal entrepreneurship and offers practical implications for policymakers and development agencies.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Business Administratio

Full text linkFull text availableThis study aimed to determine the Knowledge, Attitude, and Compliance on Healthcare Waste Management Among Level IV Student Nurses at A Private Hospital in Iloilo City. A descriptive-correlational research design was used wherein 143 student nurses or 64.13% of the population were chosen as participants. The data were gathered through a structured, researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 30 items with 10 items for each on knowledge, attitude, and compliance. The instrument was pretested and subjected to validity and reliability tests to ensure its effectiveness. Data was collected through survey questionnaires over a one-week period. Their responses were computed and interpreted in a descriptive and inferential statistical analysis and were classified based on their personal characteristics which included their age, sex, and length of hospital exposure. Analyses between the different variables were done to draw conclusions on the Level IV student nurses' level of knowledge, attitude, compliance, and the relationships that exist among these variables in regard to healthcare waste management. Findings generally imply that knowledge has little to no relationship on compliance, suggesting that other factors may have a greater influence on respondents' compliance habits while in attitude and compliance, it was found that as attitude improve, compliance with healthcare waste management practices increases, suggesting that attitude may play an essential role in influencing compliance behavior. The study concluded that although the student nurses are knowledgeable and have favorable attitudes toward Healthcare Waste Management, compliance remains an area of challenge, hence the need for focused training and education.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Nursin

Emotional resilience of college students with single parents
Full text linkFull text availableThis study explored the emotional resilience of college students raised by single parents and enrolled in a private higher education institution, specifically Central Philippine University. Utilizing a quantitative research design, the study gathered data from 305 purposively and snowball-sampled respondents through both face-to-face and online surveys. A two-part instrument was employed: a Personal Factors questionnaire, which included the Introversion-Extroversion Scale, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 25 (CD-RISC 25) to assess emotional resilience levels. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, with descriptive and inferential techniques such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test and Kruskal-Wallis Test. Findings revealed varied emotional resilience scores across different parent-child sex combinations, family income brackets, and personality traits. In particular, respondents in father-son households and extroverted individuals recorded lower resilience scores. However, results showed no statistically significant differences in emotional resilience when analyzed according to parent-child sex combination, family income, and introversion- extroversion traits. The study concluded that emotional resilience among Filipino college students raised by single parents may be more deeply influenced by cultural and relational factors, such as familial closeness and community support, rather than by financial status or personality traits alone. Based on these findings, the study offers recommendations for students, parents, mental health professionals, guidance counselors, government agencies, and future researchers to better support and understand the emotional development of students from single-parent households.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Psycholog

Parasocial attachment to media personalities of College students in a Private Higher Education Institution
Full text linkFull text availableThis study investigated the level of parasocial attachment to media personalities among college students in a private higher education institution in Iloilo City. It aimed to determine whether parasocial attachment differed based on sex, nationality of media personality, and household income. Utilizing a quantitative- descriptive research design, data were gathered on a standardized scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA. Findings revealed that students demonstrated moderate levels of parasocial attachment across all demographic groups. Slight variations were observed, with female students and those favoring foreign media personalities showing marginally higher attachment. Similarly, students from lower-income households exhibited higher levels of parasocial attachment compared to those from higher-income groups. However, statistical results indicated no significant differences across sex, nationality of media personality, or household income. These findings suggest that parasocial attachment is a shared psychological experience, shaped more by emotional and media-related influences than by demographic or socioeconomic factors.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Psycholog
