bdc -common health problems in college students
TRANSCRIPT
CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM
Chapter 1 presents the background of the study, the
theoretical and conceptual framework , the statement of the
problem, the hypothesis, significance of the study, the
study delimitations and the operational definition of terms.
Background of the Study
The present-day situation, some students have low
resistance in reacting to the realities of nature like cold
and extreme warm temperature. Some failed to eat balance
diet due to growing habits like eating in fast food chains
while others are much dependent on junk foods. Unlike in the
previous generation where diet of children were much on
fresh vegetables and fruits.
One of the greatest problems in academic field is
getting sick the inability of the body to sustain the
rigors of academic activities. Many nursing subject
requirements could not be met due to complaints on
headaches, fever, toothache, stomach ache and the like. Due
to intense pressure of the nursing course, some failed even
in their subjects which resulted to re-taking the subject
and some dropped. The irony is that much has already spent
and the family of course suffered a financial loss.
1
Considering these tremendous expenditures, it can be
said that the per capita cost of education is high and so
failure to pass nursing subjects among students has become
a gross and blatant disappointment to the guardians.
To say at least, it is a waste of time, money and
effort to put up a student to school, start an academic
calendar year, and carry on the task of teaching students
who seem to be disinterested in school work, and who end up
with failing grades or just obtain modest grades when they
could have achieved more. On the other hand, it is
pleasurably consoling when students turn out to be what is
expected of them academic achievers, conscientious and
diligent.
In school, the major activity of the students is
learning and the goal of this activity is academic
achievement. Success in an educational field will enable a
student to develop his potentialities and gain security and
satisfaction ( Mitz, 2001). However, when he fails in the
academic field, he is disappointed or dissatisfied. This
dissatisfaction could arose anxiety which may lead to
maladjustment – a condition which the school wants to avoid.
The focus of this study is the health condition of
students which has been greatly considered as a contributing
factor to academic performance.
2
The general opinion is that students with healthy
conditions perform better in school than those who are
sickly. For even under the best of conditions, students are
likely to encounter a great many frustrating and
exasperating experiences. Thus, only those who are
personally committed to getting an education in a school of
his own choice and course that he personally chooses can
forge ahead despite obstacles that come his way. In
addition, the health condition of an individual becomes a
factor that pushes the student to actively participate in
any school activity. This condition drives him to be
diligent in his studies and conscientious in tasks asked of
him by his teacher. Thus, from such attitude, higher grades
are expectedly obtained.
The desire of the researchers to identify common health
problems and its effect on academic performance is the main
reason for undertaking this research.
Theoretical Framework
Several educational innovations have been tried in
Philippine schools for the maximum development of every
need. However, in spite all efforts to get students to
achieve, wide variations in achievement are found in every
educational level. This is due to tremendous differences
existing among individuals in their physical, mental,
3
social, emotional and cultural backgrounds. These
individual differences and the different factors that affect
learning could primarily be shaken by health conditions of
students.
This study is anchored on the theory of Johnson (2003)
that is designed to help interpreting the relationship
between the health conditions and student achievement was
used in this study. Its purpose is to explain variations in
student performance that occur among classroom considering
health factors.
Thus, the core assumptions while implementing
establishing sound mind, sound body and healthy academic
performance theoretically anchored Johnson Principles : (1)
Every person is a learner;(2) learning is an ongoing and
lifelong process; (3) People learn within social and
cultural contexts, independently and through interaction
with others; (4) What is learned depends on the way it is
learned and with whom it is learned; (5)principles of health
is wealth-learning takes place when participants are
physically and mentally ready .

Significance of the Study
The results obtained from this research serves as
valuable information and knowledge about the common health
problems encountered by Level III nursing students and its
effect on their academic performance. However, it is
beneficial to the following groups:
Administration
The administration of Butuan Doctors’ College will
have the information on the common health problems of
nursing students so they can plan for course of actions, to
equip school clinic with staff and medical supplies to meet
the needs of studentry.
Nursing Faculty
The faculty will establish their instructional goals
and objectives anchored to the total development of
students. The assessment on physical conditions of students
will provide the faculty with information about the capacity
of the students to comprehend and learned with emphasis on
their physical readiness. Psychological equilibrium could be
maintained when actors in the students’ life performed their
share.
Students

Chapter 2
Review of Related Literature
This chapter discusses about the conceptual and related
studies conducted about the problem.
Links Between Health and School Performance
It is well known that healthy behavior can have long
term benefits. For students, healthy behavior can also have
more immediate consequences of better school performance.
According to American School Health Association (1998),
“Schools are ideal places to reach children and youth.
Because students’ health and learning are linked. Students
cannot learned when they are not well or when health
concerns interrupt their ability to concentrate (Lenninger,
2002) .
Many students have shown a link between participation
in high risk and unhealthy behaviors and school performance.
Drug use, alcohol use and tobacco use, poor nutrition and
physical inactivity and violence are all related to
diminished school performance. These studies suggest that if
students are not in good health, they will not able to learn
and achieve to their highest potential (Bucks, 2001).
There is a wide range of school performance problems
that have been linked to unhealthy and high risk behaviors.
Dropping out, truancy and delinquency are related to such
11
behaviors. Lower academic achievement as measured by grade
point average, test scores and education level as well as
memory, attention and motivation have been linked to
unhealthy behaviors.
Nutrition and Physical Activity
Given (2002) stated that good eating habits can help
students learn better. Experts suggest that healthy eating
is necessary for optimal brain development and functioning.
Food intake can affect energy levels, concentration and
learning.
Academic Performance
Academic performance reflects the productive
integration of the students’ interest and teachers’
expertise in the teaching-learning situation (Brookover,
1999). It demonstrates the students’ grasp of the subject
content which is partly measured by oral and written tests.
However, such measurements do not directly assess holistic
individual capabilities in relation to intelligence
quotient, motivation and interest, attitudes towards the
subject and attitude towards the teacher. Measured in terms
of grade point average, often expressed in percentages,
academic performance reflects the extent of students
achievement in terms of knowledge, skills and values
12
acquired vis-à-vis the content, course, scope and degree of
difficulty of the course (Tuckman, 2001)
Along the same vein, Oliva ( 2000) averred that in
relation to academic performance there are valuable
indicators of the psychological construct of the individual.
The individual’s interest and attachment to certain objects,
concepts and orientations invariably the type of personality
and the aspiration and visions of the individual.
Asher (2000) recognized the many different conditions
affect the efficiency, as well as the amount and quality of
an individual learning. Some of these conditions are his
mental ability, degree of maturation, readiness, interest,
goals, values, experiential background, mental and physical
health, previous achievement and social adaptability. Others
are the skill, artistry and personality of the teachers and
nature of the material which the individual is expected to
learn. Still others are the individual’s classroom
environment, the composition of his group and the
interaction of the member.
Many educationalist contended the importance of good
health and nutrition to the academic performance. The
physical, social, mental and emotional environment
contributed to the academic success and improve mental
ability.
13
Learning processes are complex processes which requires
soundness of mind and body.
CHAPTER 3
METHODOLOGY
14
This chapter presents the research design, research
locale, the respondents, instrument, sampling technique,
the data gathering procedures and statistical tool
utilized in the course and analysis of the study.
Design
The study wanted to identify common health problems and
relate them to the academic performance of Level III and IV
Nursing students. Gathering facts and information along the
line constitute a descriptive research. Correlating
independent variables with dependent variable is a
correlational research.
Research Locale
The study was conducted at Butuan Doctors’ College
(BDC).
BDC is providing tertiary education in Caraga region.
Form part of its vision and mission is to institutionalize
medical education as key to human formation and academic
competence. It has been provider of health practitioners for
more than two three decades.
Respondents
15
The respondents of the study were 160 level III nursing
students randomly taken as respondents. Of the total
population of 225 coming from six sections.
Instrument
As means of data gathering, a set of structured
questionnaire-interview was developed. Respondents were
allowed to check appropriate answers. The survey form has
two parts, namely , Part 1- Letter of Invitation ; and
Part II – The Common Health Problems Encountered.
To ascertain the validity and reliability, the
researchers’ adviser and Research subject instructor checked
the guide questions.
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers made a simple questionnaire for study,
and then the researchers’ adviser checked it for corrections
and approval. The approved questionnaire was reproduced and
administered personally by the researchers. Prior to the
actual gathering of data, the researchers made a letter of
request addressed to the Dean of College of Nursing asking
permission to conduct a study along the common health
problems encountered while in school.
Upon approval, the researchers identified target
respondents . The instruments were retrieved, tabulated and
statistically treated.
16
Academic performance was based on the information
provided by the office of the registrar as requested by the
researchers.
Treatment of the Data
The researchers utilized statistical method for the
analysis of data. The researchers coded the responses of the
respective respondents using the Likert scale.
Scale Range Verbal Description
5 4.51- 5.0 Always
4 3.50- 4.49 Oftentimes
3 2.50- 3.49 Sometimes
2 1.50 - 2.49 Seldom
1 1.0- 1.49 Never
Statistical Technique
17
Frequency of responses, including the respondent’s
socio-demographic profile, were tallied for the computation
of percentage value. The following statistical tools were
employed :
1. Frequency. It is the total number of responses.
2. Percentage- used to determine the frequencies and the
percentage of the first variable. This includes the manner
on how the items were rated after the consolidation of data.
Formula: = f/x (100)
Wherein: f = frequency of respondents
X = total number of respondents
3. Weighted mean- This technique was used by the researchers
for the purpose of quantitative analysis.
Formula: Wm = F (X 1 + X 2 + X 3 + X 4 + X 5 ) N
Where f = frequency
X1-= weight in the four point scale
N= sum of the frequencies
4. Chi square is used to test significant effect.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary, conclusions and
recommendations drawn out of the study.
Summary
The study aimed to ascertain the effect of the common
health problems perceived by Level III Nursing students for
school year 2006-2007.
A self made instrument was reviewed and approved by the
adviser , then distributed and answered by almost 258 level
III .
After the administration of the instrument the
researchers tabulated the frequency, weighted means and
their verbal interpretation. To test the significant
difference in perception, the respondents tested both
variables with analysis of variance while significant effect
employs a chi-square.
Conclusions
Majority of the respondent oftentimes experienced
common health problems like tension headache, migraine,
sinusitis, toothache , cough, diarrhea and skin diseases.
Majority of the respondents performed satisfactorily in
their academic performance for the 1st semester of SY 2007-
2008.
27
The study revealed that perceived common health
problems have significant effect in the academic performance
of the Level III nursing students.
Recommendations
On the basis of the above findings, the following
recommendations are proposed:
1. The school administration should enhance medical
services for students’ welfare like regular check-up and
hire more clinic physician and/or school nurses and lengthen
clinic hours..
2. Nursing Faculty to identify students needing medical
care and use a better referral procedure for students to
health care providers in base/affiliating hospitals.
3. The parents monitor not only the heath status of
their students but also determine effects of their health on
their academic performance.
4. The students should submit to regular check up and
follow treatment regimen
5. For future researchers to undertake the same study
and involve more variables affecting academic performance .
