    Lived experiences of Ilonggo informal caregivers providing home care to COVID-19 patients
    Bolinas, 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.

    Disorientation and queering action in distance education: The queer lived experiences of the queer Filipino teacher
    Balensoy, Timoteo C., III (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-05)
    Queer studies highlight that beyond the idea of gender and sexuality, queerness branches through a vast field of disciplines and focus, urging scholarly interest towards the queer phenomenological question regarding the peculiar and confusing experiences an individual acquires when occupying a particular space as well as the actions they do in a space. Utilizing Ahmed’s Queer Phenomenology (2006) as the theoretical anchor for this inquiry, this study explored queer lived experiences through the experiences of disorientation and the queering actions of queer Filipino teachers; specifically, the mechanisms, the experiences, and the outcomes as queer Filipino teachers become challenged by the normativity of distance education, and how they addressed the challenges they experienced from the disorientation. Through interviews with eight (8) self-identified queer DepEd High School teachers from the provinces of Antique and Capiz from ages 24 to 42, this study identified that in the context of distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic, queer Filipino teachers experience disorientation through the challenges brought about by norms in the learning setup that prescribes specific actions, practices and strategies to avoid and to prioritize. As they reflect on their disorienting experiences, the queer Filipino teacher recognizes a need to change their perspective and pedagogies to orient themselves in the space of distance education. This leads them to enact queering actions through a pedagogical performance of going beyond what are obligated and expected of them, as informed by their identities as queer people, as teachers, and as queer teachers.

    Health, social support, and life satisfaction of selected older persons in Asilo de Molo
    Bacolor, Heidi F. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)
    This study was undertaken in order to determine the current status of older persons in Asilo de Molo in terms of health, social support and life satisfaction. Eighteen (18) elders, four (4) males and fourteen (14) females were chosen through convenient sampling as respondents of this study. Katz'' Activities of Daily Living Scale, Lawton’s Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale and Dr. Andrew Goliszek’s Life Satisfaction Index were utilized to gather the necessary data. Using the mode, the frequencies and percentage distributions for each variable were tabulated and analyzed. Results showed that respondents are relatively in good health condition and that majority of the reported cases of disease and chronic conditions are linked to normal aging namely, poor vision, hypertension and arthritis. Moreover, a large percentage of the respondents can function fairly independently by themselves, which means they can perform at least 50% of the activities in the ADL and IADL scales with minor assistance from the social and health workers. In terms of social support, the findings are contradictory to previous researches that highlight the primary importance of family and relatives as sources of support, both in material and non-material aspects. Instead, the bottom-line lifelines identified are the social workers. Life satisfaction findings reveal that majority of the respondents are moderately satisfied with their life, contrary to negative stereotypes on older persons living in institutions.
