Coping strategies on travelling and its relationship to academic performance of BS Medical Laboratory Science students of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institutes
No full textThe most frequent emotional or mental condition that students go through when studying is academic stress. This state negatively impacts the students’ mental and possibly, physical health, especially now that it is coupled with a new online learning modality because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ineffective coping methods will negatively impact a student’s behavior which may lead them to stay up late at night possibly affecting their physical health in the process as well. This is a descriptive qualitative study that aims to determine and gain a better understanding of how students cope to keep up with their academic performance despite travelling. The data was gathered from 226 College of Medical Laboratory Science (CMLS) students of De La Salle Medical
and Health Sciences Institute (DLSMHSI). Through the Cochran formula, 77 students of first year, 71 students of second year, and 78 students of third year who were travelling to school were randomly chosen. They were provided with a modified survey tool, adapted from the study entitled “University Commuter Students: Time Management, Stress Factor and Coping Strategies” by Forbus and Newbold, et al. (2010). The data gathered showed, “Staying up late at night to keep up with my academics” is the most preferred coping method while “Travelling early (to have time allowance) to study in school” was found to be the least. However, the statistical study revealed that there is no significant relationship between BSMLS students\u27 academic performance and their coping mechanisms
Patient factors and environmental barriers affecting treatment adherence of patients with musculoskeletal conditions at DLSUMC Department of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine
No full textIntroduction: It is believed that multiple factors affect one’s adherence to physical therapy. Thus, it is important to study multiple dimensions that affect adherence rather than focusing on one aspect alone. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of environmental barriers and patient characteristics with treatment adherence.
Methods: A cross-sectional study where patients with musculoskeletal conditions at De La Salle University of Medical Center, Department of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine in Dasmariñas, Cavite were pre-screened and invited to participate. 46 participants answered questionnaires on demographic characteristics, health status, perceived adherence, and environmental barriers. Fisher’s exact tests, Mann-Whitney test and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine if these factors were associated with perceived adherence.
Results: About 49% and 26% of the participants considered themselves to have high and good adherence to therapy sessions, respectively. In bivariate analysis under patient factors, age ( p-value= 0.022) and health status (p-value =0.029); and equal opportunity with education (p-value= 0.031) and employment (pvalue=0.002) under environmental barriers are significantly associated with treatment adherence. In multivariate logistic regression, patients who considered themselves to have equal opportunity to be educated(OR 17.66) and employed(OR 2.46), higher age(2.122), and higher health status(OR= 1.05) have higher odds of adhering to treatment. However, these regression coefficients were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Perceived treatment adherence seems to be associated with age, health status, and an equal opportunity to be educated and employed. Although the study was not able to provide strong evidence for these associations, it provided a broader aspect in factors that might affect patient’s adherence
