1.Level of Knowledge Retention of Nursing Students with their Related
Learning Experiences in Tagum Doctors College Inc.

There hasn't been much written regarding knowledge retention in nursing

practice. There is an implicit notion that our learning tactics will immediately result in
information retention and, ultimately, competence. (Zieber and Sedgewick, 2018).
Knowledge retention in the nursing profession aims to maintain ownership and
recognize the relevance of vital nursing knowledge across all healthcare
organizations. In the nursing profession, information retention is rarely understood,
applied, or implemented. The concern of critical nursing knowledge in healthcare
organizations has resulted in numerous medical errors, misdiagnosis, and incorrect
treatments, resulting in multiple drug resistance diseases and unanticipated deaths.
(Mamabolo, 2021)

As we all know, most of our journey in learning is through online classes, and
based on our experience, it is a challenge for most students. This research allows us
to know in what ways students comprehend and retain more knowledge.

As a nursing student and an aspiring medical professional, it is not just about

the skills we should learn to perform procedures, but it highly involves knowledge of
the procedure, why it has to be done, and its effects, all of which to provide
information to patients. In nursing, we are to be compassionate, caring, and
responsible. We want to conduct this study to know if our future nurses are equipped
with both skills and knowledge as they make their way to the field.

Our target respondents are the level 4 students of the Nursing Department in
Tagum Doctor’s College. Given that they have experienced for a long time having
online classes and now having face-to-face classes and hospital exposure.
2.The Impact of Flexible Learning among the Preparedness and Acceptability
of Level 2 Nursing Students of Tagum Doctors College Inc.

The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has greatly impacted

our daily lives. Aside from the health sector, the COVID-19 pandemic also affected
the educational sector. Because of this pandemic, in mid-March 2020, the Philippine
government implemented community quarantine in Luzon and other major cities in
the country. This community quarantine led to the exclusive suspension of classes in
all levels halfway through the second semester of S.Y 2019-2020. And as the new
school year for 2020–2021 begins, the majority of universities and colleges in the
country are forced to transition to flexible learning, also known as online classes or
e-learning (Baticulon, 2020).

The challenge of flexible learning in Philippine nursing education is to ensure

quality nursing education to students and achieve the expected learning outcomes of
the nursing curricula as the students, as well as professors, will abruptly transition to
this new educational delivery. (Change.Org, 2020).

A question on the preparedness and acceptance of nursing students to

undergo this mode of learning has been continuously studied around the world. The
Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a 4-year degree program that teaches students
knowledge and necessary skills in health care. Graduates of the BS Nursing
program are expected to adhere to and apply principles of evidence-based practice
to ensure ethical and safe delivery of care. But due to the pandemic, face-to-face
classes and clinical rotations for nursing students were suspended.

The objective of this study is to measure the preparedness and rate of

acceptance towards flexible learning among the 2nd year student nurses enrolled in
Tagum Doctor’s College, Inc. Assessing the extent of preparedness and
acceptability of nursing students is important to help the educational authorities
identify possible gaps and needs of the students for flexible learning; provide
sufficient resources; develop effective teaching strategies and approaches; and
ensure that no student gets left behind in nursing education.
3.Level of Depression and it's contributing Factors among Level 4 Nursing
Students in Tagum Doctors College Inc.

Depression is one of the most serious health problems that human beings
might face with.Health professionals are especially more vulnerable to compromises
in their psychological well-being and mental health due to a variety of stressors
appropriate to their academic background and the specificity of their work. They are
more exposed to human suffering at the most varied levels and contexts (Facioli et
al., 2020).

It is essential to scrutinize psychiatric morbidity among nursing students as

various psychiatric disorders' first onset is typically during the study period. Students
might develop depressive disorders due to academic stressors such as evaluations,
continuous assessment, academic performance, learning materials, and
examinations. Some students get depressed as a response to this pressure. They
may perhaps express their distress by crying all of the time, missing classes, or
separating themselves without understanding that they are depressed.

The level 4 nursing students of Tagum Doctor's College are our target
respondents, considering that they are more prone to academic concerns, problems
with clinical practice, and personal issues. Nursing programs require students to
learn a lot of information fast. In addition to the grueling pace, especially for 4th year
students, at this time they feel pressured to achieve high test scores and pass
industry exams, such as the incoming NCLEX, making them good target
respondents for this research.

Our goal is to assess the level of depression and its contributing factors
among TDCI nursing students.Understanding and identifying nursing students’
mental health issues is an important allegation of the campus mental health services.
It is important for a better understanding of the determinants of mental health
impairment of these future professionals, with a view to even more effective
procedures for their prevention.
4.Compliance of Infection Control Practices on Related Learning Experiences
among Nursing Students of TDCI During Hospital Exposure at Tagum Doctor’s
Hospital Inc,

Infection control has been a primary concern of healthcare workers for a long
time. Many of them may be exposed to certain infections in the course of their work.
Protecting themselves and preventing the spread of infection within the health care
setting is an essential part of the infrastructure of care (Cruz, J. P., 2019).

Giving enough care to one’s health is needed in order for us to continue our
daily activities. It is important to give attention to our health, especially to college
students taking up nursing who are prone to infections every time they are exposed
in the hospital. They consider the use of protective measures such as hand washing,
cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, vaccination, use of gloves and gowns to prevent
the incidence of acquiring an infection and protect the patients from the risk of
exposure to micro organisms. It is an ethical obligation to ensure that appropriate
aseptic measures are taken to protect clients, support people, and health personnel,
including themselves.

The principal concern of this study is to evaluate the basic preventive

measures taken by the nursing students who have undergone hospital exposure at
Tagum Doctor’s Hospital for infection control practices. This may give insight to the
students, clinical instructors, nursing education, nursing researchers, and nursing
research on the magnitude of the problem and the need for effective infection control
in hospitals where there is none. Likewise, it will also help those with an existing
program to critically evaluate and improve the control policies already established in
their hospitals. This study will also make the nursing students as well as the clinical
instructors aware of their responsibility in protecting the patients from the risk of
exposure to other microorganisms and developing a secondary infection or illness
while being hospitalized for a particular complaint.
5. Parents Perceptions Towards Vaccinating their Children from 1-12 yrs Old in
Barangay Visayan Village, Tagum City.

Throughout recent history, vaccinations have been a large part of the solution
to many medical issues that were previously unpreventable. What has been deemed
one of the most significant public health achievements in history now has an
untrusting, questioned effect on many parents. Although countless studies and
research articles have been published proving these vaccinations to be safe, the
stigma still lingers from a faulty correlation made with no real facts to back it up.

"Vaccine hesitancy" refers to a delay in acceptance or refusal of safe vaccines

despite the availability of vaccination services. Even today, 1 in 5 children worldwide
fail to receive routine immunization, and about 1.5 million children die each year of
diseases that could be prevented by vaccination. Concern over vaccine safety is one
of the most dominant reasons for vaccine hesitancy. Earlier, these concerns were
mainly due to widely circulating media reports highlighting the rare occurrence of an
adverse reaction to a vaccine or associating certain disorders with vaccines or their
components. Most of these concerns, however, were based on rumors rather than
facts, and yet somehow managed to instill fear in the hearts and minds of parents
(Fatima, K., & Syed, N. I. 2018).

Because of recent incidents that question the safety and integrity of the
vaccines, this has caused a decrease in vaccine confidence among parents. As a
nursing student, we would like to be able to analyze the parents' perception as well
as the degree of their knowledge towards the concern of vaccinating their children,
so that we will able to help them to have more knowledge and understanding as well
as regain their confidence and trust in vaccinating their children.

As a nursing student, the goal of this study is to assess parents' perceptions

regarding vaccination of their children and the associated factors. We all know that
parents are the primary decision-makers for their children. Parents often make the
decision to vaccinate their children with a newly developed vaccine based upon
attitudes and perceptions towards established vaccines. It is important that parents
will improve their parental understanding of vaccines via the creation of an
information resource.Parents with kids under the age of 12 who live in Baranggay
Visayan Village, Tagum City, are our target responders. Since children around this
age have frail health and are still dependent on their parents, which means they still
need consent and direct supervision from them.
