No full textThe roles of leaders in health promotion in selected Philippine health- allied educational institutions: a qualitative study
No full textThere is a lack of comprehensive studies discussing the roles of leaders in health promotion, particularly in the institutional setting. This study aimed to explore the roles of leaders such as college deans, program chairs, directors, academic directors, and department chairs in health promotion within selected health-allied institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines. A descriptive qualitative design was utilized to narrate the roles of leaders in health promotion. Nine leaders from HEIs offering health-allied courses with PAASCU Level 3+ Accreditation were recruited through purposive sampling. The participants were grouped into three moderated focus group discussions (FGDs) and interviewed using a validated guide question protocol developed by the researchers. For confidentiality, pseudonyms were used for all participants. The FGD results were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis, from which five major themes emerged: Leaders as Advocate, Educator, Designer, Role Model, and Communicator. The findings emphasized that the roles of leaders in health promotion include integrating health education and promoting the overall well-being of the community. These roles address the need for leaders to overcome systemic challenges, ensure program sustainability, influence their constituents, and foster a culture of health within the scope of their leadership. Collectively, these roles contribute to effective leadership and efficient health promotion. This research supports the development and enhancement of leadership strategies for health promotion. By identifying these crucial roles, leaders from various institutions can better strategize and implement more essential and effective health promotion initiatives

No full textThis study assessed the knowledge and perception of HPV infection and vaccination among undergraduate students at De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute (DLSMHSI). Using a stratified random sample of 370 students from seven colleges, data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis H tests. Results showed that students had high levels of knowledge regarding HPV infection (M = 7.02, SD = 0.80) and vaccination (M = 7.09, SD = 1.03), along with a generally positive perception of the vaccine (M = 1.90 on a 1–5 Likert scale). No significant differences in knowledge or perception based on age or college affiliation were found. However, female students demonstrated significantly higher knowledge (p = 0.006) and a more favorable perception (p = 0.021) than males. These findings suggest that while overall awareness/knowledge is strong, targeted interventions may be beneficial in improving HPV vaccine perception among male students
Knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs on blood donation participation in selected urban and rural areas of Cavite: a comparative cross-sectional study
No full textBlood donation plays a crucial role in sustaining healthcare systems, mainly in managing medical emergencies, surgeries, and other chronic conditions. In the Philippines, maintaining an adequate blood supply remains a challenge due to limited voluntary donors. This study aimed to identify the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs on blood donation participation among non-health allied individuals aged 18–60 in selected urban (Dasmariñas and Imus) and rural (General Emilio Aguinaldo and Maragondon) areas of Cavite. A comparative cross-sectional design was employed, and a total of 824 participants were selected using a systematic sampling technique. Data were gathered through a validated, self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and independent t-tests were utilized for analysis. Findings revealed no statistically significant differences between urban and rural respondents in knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs toward blood donation. Despite moderate awareness and favorable perceptions, actual donation participation of the respondents was low. Common barriers included fear, health misconceptions, and limited access, while altruism and familial responsibility served as primary motivators
