Child care is considered as an integral part of society’s health. This study was conducted to determine the child care practices of households with very low socio-economic status in Singalat, Palayan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. The researcher utilized the descriptive method of research coupled with questionnaire as a tool for data gathering. The respondents were chosen by means of purposive sampling technique and the data gathered were treated with frequency and percentage distribution, weighted mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The results showed that the respondents were living in a mixed neighborhood; houses were built in light and cheap materials, poorly constructed, unpainted and dilapidated. The majority of the household heads were unskilled workers while some were employed as blue collar workers or engaged in manual labor that receives an hourly rate of pay, high school graduates with 0-1 or few facilities with monthly family income of P1,000.00      (23 USD) and below. The socio-economic classification of the respondents falls under E or “very low socio-economic classification” with a score of 7-14 based on MORES-SEC Classification of Households. Child care practices in terms of nutrition, hygiene, disease prevention and health restoration were “very often accomplished” by the respondents. The “occupation” of household heads plays a vital role in the delivery of child care among the family respondents. Occupation means income, while income would mean food, shelter, clothing, medicine or health and other basic necessities of a growing child. Keywords—Social Science, child care practices, socio-economic status, descriptive-survey, Nueva Ecija, Philippines

Type 2 Diabetic

Background: Diabetes is one of the major health problems worldwide that can be effectively managed by good self-care activities like medication adherence, exercise, monitoring of blood glucose, foot care and diet. Objectives: The study assessed the self-care activities of diabetic patients using summary of diabetes self-care activities scale (SDSCA) and the variables (Age, gender, educational level, socioeconomic status (SES)) associated with it. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was undertaken in 400 Type 2 diabetic patients. Self-care practices of the patients were evaluated by using SDSCA and correlation with variables were determined statistically. Results: Among 400 diabetic patients about 215 (53.75%) had an average score of self-care. Self-care was poor in 184 (46%) subjects, and only 1 subject (0.25%) scored good. Blood sugar monitoring was the highest (100%) followed by medication adherence (92.75%) whereas inadequate levels of self-care were reported in foot care (1.5%), and physical activity (31.5%) domains. A significant positive correlation was found between self-care practices and socio-demographic variables such as age (r=0.298, p=0.000), income (r=0.490, p=0.000) occupation (r=0.433, p=0.000), education (r=0.582, p=0.000), and Socio-Economic status (r=0.599, p=0.000). Conclusion: The study revealed higher level of adherence to self-care activities in terms of blood sugar monitoring and medication taking behaviour in the current setting, but self-care in other domains such as foot care is critically low. Age, education and Socio-Economic status seems to affect the self-care practice by the patients.

The present research was an exploratory research to study the predictors of achievement motivation of early adolescent girls- socio-economic status, intelligence and academic achievement. The sample of this research work consists of 132 girls studying in secondary schools of Pune City, Maharashtra. Projective test of achievement motivation by Deo-Mohan (1986) was used to measure achievement motivation. To assess economic, educational and social status of the family, Socio-economic scale was used, developed by Dubey and Nigam (2005). Raven’s (1960) Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) was used measuring IQ. However, academic achievement of the students was determined on the basis of school mark percentages. Pearson’s correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression was done to investigate the best pattern of variables for predicting achievement motivation. Data analysis revealed that achievement motivation of students was significantly correlated with academic achievement. No significant correlation was found between scores of achievement motivation, intelligence and socio-economic status. Results of multiple regression revealed that academic achievement was significant predictor of achievement motivation.
