Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City. She served as a clinical instructor at San Pedro Hospital and

Background

Filipinos have been established as one of the most in-demand and competitive nurses in the
world, and is often praised for their warm and caring attitude to their parents. Nurses then can be seen
as medium or sources of caring. This attitude must begin as early as possible and it is important that
students of nursing must be able to show and receive it. However, the nursing programs and curriculum
often exhibit a high degree of strictness and discipline which make the atmosphere of care almost
impossible. The faculty may teach carative traits to students without emphasizing and demonstrating
them. If a nurse has experienced caring, he/she will develop carative traits without much effort. A
curriculum reflecting the true value of care is of utmost importance if the country is to remain the
favored provider of nurses to the world.

The study is based on the theories developed by Bandura and the three nursing theories of
caring: Watson’s Theory of Human Caring, Boykin and Schoenhofer’s Theory and Leininger’s
Transcultural Nursing Theory. The study was conducted among faculty and students in two nursing
schools in Davao City. The nursing faculty comprising the school’s base hospitals comprised the first
group of respondents, and the third and fourth year regular nursing students composed the second
group of respondents. The third group was the watchers of the patients who were given nursing care by
the students. Two research methods were used in the study; 1) quantitative approach by use of
questionares and 2) phenomenological approach by use of open-handed questions utilizing hand-
written responses by 20 subjects, serving as guide for Focus Group discussion. 1,087 patients, 65 clinical
instructors and 443 students were involved in the quantitative approach, while 20 were involved in the
phenomenological approach.

I can reap the reward and blessing of a life

Background
Retirement is an inevitable change in one’s life. It is evident in the increasing statistics of aging
population accompanied by related disabilities and increased dependence. This developmental stage,
even at the later part of life, must be considered desirable and satisfying through the determination of
factors that will help the person enjoy his remaining years of life. It is of primary importance to prepare
early in life by cultivating other role options at age 50 to 60 in order to have a rewarding retirement
period even amidst the presence of role discontinues experienced by this age group.
