Item Psychosocial costs of post-employment of Overseas Filipino Workers of Leon, IloiloBritanico, Lee Robert M.; Roxas, Pearl Marie C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)This study aimed to find out the psychosocial effects of post-employment on the OFWs, as well as how they would reintegrate themselves to their respective families and communities. Thirty five respondents, 23 female and 12 male, were selected through convenience sampling. The respondents were residents of Leon, Iloilo. Each has worked abroad for at least 5 years, is married, and has children. The findings did not support the idea that labor migration affects primarily the relationship of the migrant workers to their family and community. The respondents remained close to their family despite being away from them for quite a time. Their reintegration to community was relatively easy despite being unaware of the reintegration programs of the governmentItem Children's perception on the gender role content of Philippine television programsBrillo, Kharla Mae D.; Cruzada, Felecyl Joy P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-03)This study aimed to find out the gender role portrayals in Philippine television programs. The narratives of elementary students regarding their perceptions of two primetime shows, Honesto and Got To Believe were analyzed. The sample consisted of twenty-one (21) respondents that have passed the criteria prior to the interview. The analysis revealed that male characters are perceived to be capable of acquiring a higher level of education and occupation; are generally richer; engage in physically demanding activities; usually care less of how they look and are socially inhibited. Conversely, female characters are perceived to engage in domestic chores; particularly lighter activities; are more creative; are more sociable; are commonly concerned of their physical appearance; and are often victims of maltreatment.Item Organizational climate and levels of job burnout among nurses in selected private and public hospitals in Iloilo CityBragancia, Imee Grace E.; Vergara, Catherine Joy C. (2004-03)This correlational study aimed to find out whether organizational climate has a significant relationship on job burnout among nurses in selected private and public hospitals in Iloilo City. A total of 44 respondents participated in the study. Thirty-two (32) nurses came from private hospitals, namely Iloilo Doctor’s Hospital and Iloilo Mission Hospital. While 12 nurses came from West Visayas State University Medical Center, which is a public hospital. The Work Climate Questionnaire by Deci (2000) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory by Maslach (1981) were utilized for data gathering. Generally, results revealed that the higher the nurses perceived autonomy support the lower their degree of burnout in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscales. However, while private and public hospital nurses were satisfied with the autonomy support provided by their supervisors, they still reported a lack of personal accomplishment. The researchers recommend that future research should be done on correlates of personal and organizational factors on nurse burnout.Item Locus of control, resilience, and self-esteem of children of displaced workersBonilla, Krisna G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-03)Displacement from work has been considered to be influential not only to workers themselves but also to their families, especially their children. This study focused on three particular facets of personality of children of displaced workers: locus of control, resilience, and self-esteem which were examined using the CNSIE scale, Ego Resiliency Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and an interview schedule. The study included 37 respondents (14 males, 23 females) aged 14-21 years old, who were children of displaced workers from Palawan. Based on the data gathered, it was found that majority of the respondents had external locus of control, high resilience, and low self-esteem. It was further deduced that parents’ displacement from work has an influence among their children’s personality development.Item Reproductive health awareness, problems, and health seeking practices of couples in fishing households in Sapian, CapizBonitillo, Sunshine Mae B.; Galapin, Danilyn A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2004-03)The study sought to examine the reproductive health knowledge, problems and healthseeking practices of selected couples aged 15-49. Forty-six (46) couples served as respondents of the study. This study hypothesized that: 1) couples in fishing households reproductive health knowledge; 2) Couples in fishing households have numerous number of reported reproductive health problems; and 3) couples in fishing households have traditional health seeking practices. The Likert type of test, and open-ended questions were utilized for data gathering. The frequency, percentage distribution and average mean were used as a tool for analysis. The result show that couples in fishing households, have high level of reproductive health awareness. Female respondents in particular are aware of their reproductive health rights, birth control methods, and family planning than male respondents. In addition, the result reveals that the respondents have experienced several cases of reproductive health problems. However, they did not often seek medical attention. Instead, the respondents just visit the barangay health center for birth control supply and medicine for some ailments.Item Lived experiences of Ilonggo informal caregivers providing home care to COVID-19 patientsBolinas, Nicole Marie M.; Alagos, Yziel Gale B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-05)This is a phenomenological study that sought to examine the lived experiences of informal caregivers providing home care to COVID-19 patients. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), five (5) Ilonggo informal caregivers who provided home care to COVID-19-positive household members participated in in-depth interviews. Results showed that home care during the pandemic involved additional protective measures and minimal contact with patients. While facing uncertainties without proper training and knowledge on caregiving much more on COVID-19, informal caregivers had to research and seek help from other experts. They also provided physical assistance in routine daily living activities as well as social and emotional support both to patients and other household members. The experience further warranted adjustments on their time management and emotional strength as the added responsibility of home care on top of work and studies had resulted in feelings of frustration and exhaustion. In spite of these challenges, being hands-on in providing care, social support from other family members, and hopefulness of patient recovery facilitated their experience. Informal caregivers then view and understand their experience as an accomplishment, a form of reciprocation to their family members who cared and provided for them, and as a part of their filial responsibility. Active institutional support is therefore recommended in order to ensure their physical and psychological health and well-being.Item Factors associated with relationship formation, maintenance, and dissolution among lesbian couples in Iloilo CityBengan, Tricia Kay B.; Isleta, Ashley Monique L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2018-05)The study was conducted to explore the nature of relationship formation, maintenance, and dissolution among Filipino lesbian couples in Iloilo City. Twelve (12) lesbians served as respondents for the study. All the respondents must have been self-identified lesbians and have been in previous relationships with the same sex. The study is descriptive in nature, utilizing an interview guide as instrument. Results in the study revealed that lesbians mostly meet in online sites, do not have courting process, have the same values, beliefs, and personality with their partners, and communicate through personal meetings. Majority pointed out cheating or presence of a third party as the reason for their break-up.Item Religious beliefs and perspectives of afterlife and the acceptance of death cancer patientsBelleza, George Fabe Emmanuel F. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2018-05)The study was conducted to describe the religious beliefs, practices, perspectives of afterlife and to determine the acceptance of death of cancer patients. Ten (10) cancer patients at Iloilo served as respondents for the study. Among the different religions in the Philippines, Roman Catholic was the dominant religion among the participants. The respondents answered questionnaires, which consisted of the Brief Religious Inventory, the Belief in Afterlife Scale (BA) and Death Anxiety Scale (DAS). Results of the study showed that the cancer patients had high levels of religious belief and high levels of belief in afterlife. Majority of the participants scored low levels of death acceptance. The cancer patients all believed in God and life after death however, the majority of the patients were still afraid to die.Item Locus of control of male adolescents with imprisoned fathers: Its relation to their academic adjustmentBataan, Arminda A.; Losare, Anna Marie C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)This study sought to determine the kind of locus of control of the respondents and the level of academic adjustment as seen in their grade point averages. The researchers aimed to find out if there exists a relationship between locus of control and academic adjustment of these male adolescents with imprisoned fathers. This study was patterned on a previous research on the relationship between the same variables but this study utilized a different instrument and respondents came from Iloilo province. Fifteen (15) college students whose fathers were imprisoned at the time that they were enrolled served as respondents of the study. All respondents came from Iloilo, 33% of which are from Iloilo City and the remaining 67% are from the municipalities. Their ages range from 17-24. Respondents were selected using the snowball method. Respondents were asked to answer the Trice Academic Locus of Control Scale. The scale is composed of 28 items answerable by true or false determined the kind of locus of control of these male adolescents with imprisoned fathers. In addition, the respondents were asked to submit their copy of grades of the previous semester to determine how well they adjust academically. The computed Pearson Product Moment Correlation is r=0.26 with a rcrit=0.441 at 0.05 alpha. This signifies that indeed there is a significant relationship between locus of control and academic adjustment of male adolescents with imprisoned fathers. However, it revealed a weak positive correlation between locus of control and academic adjustment. The findings imply that locus of control is not the sole cause or factor for academic adjustment. The cause or source of a well-adjusted academic performance of male adolescents with imprisoned fathers may therefore be attributed to other factors such as economic and social support coming from family and friends. Such factors could even lead to a poor academic performance. Lastly, academic adjustment and locus of control vary among the respondents, which suggest individual differences among themItem Exposure to sexually violent films: Judgements on domestic violenceBasco, Wendy G.; Gallardo, Bonnie L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)This study aimed to know if exposures to sexually violent films have effect toward judgments on domestic violence victim. The three hypotheses were: 1) There is a significant effect from gradual exposure to sexually violent films toward judgments on domestic violence victim ; 2) There is a significant effect from sudden exposure to sexually violent films toward judgments on domestic violence victim and 3) There is a significant effect from non-exposure to sexually violent films toward judgments on domestic violence victim . This study is experimental which made use of randomized group design or (between group design). The participants of this study were composed of thirty (30) students of UPV Miag-ao, enrolled in Psychology 101 during the second semester on Academic year 2002-2003. The participants were chosen using the random sampling. They were equally distributed to three (3) treatment groups (2 experimental and 1 control group) with ten (10) participants each group. This research project utilized Rape Myth Acceptance Scale, Acceptance of Interpersonal Violence Scale and Myth on Domestic Violence Scale to measure the judgments of participants toward domestic violence victims. Splices from three films (Friday the 13th Part II, American Psycho and I Spit on Your Grave) were also used. The result of the study F (2,29) = 3.35 p< .05 yielded that there is a significant effect of non-exposure to sexually violent films toward judgments on domestic violence victim.
