This study aimed to determine the acculturation staff nurses who are non-CCMC (Cebu City Medical Center) graduates. The findings were basis for the enhancement of staff development program through fast track preceptorship. Specifically, it sought to answer the following queries: (1) what is the profile of the respondents as to age, gender, civil status, area of assignment, school graduated, and length of service; (2) what is the degree of acculturation of the respondents; (3) is there a significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and the degree of acculturation; (4) what can be proposed to enhance the staff development program?The research setting was Cebu City Medical Center Nursing Service Department in Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines. The respondents of the study were 70 staff nurses who were non-CCMC graduates. The researchers utilized a 20-item researcher-made questionnaire which were based on the CCMC rules and guidelines. The descriptive-correlational design was used.Majority of the respondents were 30-49 years old, female, and married. Most of them were assigned in the neonatal surgical care unit. Majority of the respondents graduated from the University of the Visayas, and has served CCMC for 1-5 years.The degree of acculturation of the respondents was high. However, there were three areas with low to moderate acculturation: reading of magazines during duty; use of mobile phones; and willingness to render 16 hours duty when the need arises. Only gender has a significant relationship to the degree of acculturation. This study proposed a two-week orientation program through fast track preceptorship to improve and enhance the degree and level of acculturation among non-CCMC graduate staff nurses.

The study determined the exercise and blood glucose monitoring compliance of diabetics at Eversley Childs Sanitarium, Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines. Specifically, it determined the profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender, civil status, educational attainment and monthly income. It also determined the level of the respondents’ exercise and blood glucose monitoring compliance and their experiences. Moreover, it determined the relationship between the respondents’ profile and exercise compliance and respondents’ profile and blood glucose monitoring compliance.This study employed the descriptive-correlational design. All 50 diabetic patients who had consultations since 2008 in the diabetic clinic of the out-patient department of Eversley Childs Sanitarium were utilized as respondents.The study revealed that gender, highest educational attainment and monthly income have high positive correlation with level of exercise compliance. It also revealed that civil status, highest educational attainment and monthly income have high positive correlation with level of blood glucose monitoring.Majority of the respondents utilized jogging, walking and hiking. The top reason for non-compliance in exercise was their busy schedule. Family members reminded them to do the exercise. The top reason for non-compliance of blood glucose monitoring was the lack of budget for strips. Respondents claimed that they are encouraged and reminded by family members to do blood glucose monitoring. Most the diabetics are concerned with the lack of budget to sustain blood glucose monitoring. Based on the findings of the study, the respondents are less compliant with exercise and non-compliant on blood glucose monitoring. Recommended citation: Marikit, H. F. E. & Amparado, M. A. P.

This research aimed to determine the work values of the Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College, Cervantes Campus teaching staff considering their age, sex, civil status, and highest educational attainment, and if significant differences exist between and among these variables. The descriptive correlational design was used in the study. The data were gathered among the 20 teaching staff of the campus through an adopted questionnaire used by Cervera (1987), Aguado et al (2015), Gannaban (2016), and Susa (2018). The findings reveal that teachers of ISPSC – Cervantes Campus represent a variety of variables like, age, civil status, gender, academic rank, and highest educational attainment. Teachers professed the 10 dimension of work values namely, organizational, occupational, intellectual, managerial, religion, material, variety familial, interpersonal, and environmental as very important in the performance of their works. Age and civil status are indicators of the teachers` work values while their educational attainment, academic ranks, and gender are not. With the result, the paper recommends the need for teachers to attend relevant seminars and pursue advance studies to learn more of embracing diversity. The 10 dimensions of work values may incorporate in the development program of the College. Future studies may be conducted to include a larger number of respondents and additional variables which were not include in the study.

This dissertation studies the effects of parents' resources on children's labor market outcomes in Korea. The educational structure in Korea has changed substantially with rapid economic growth over the last several decades. There is a substantial difference between parents and children's average educational attainment. Because of economic development and schooling difference between parents and children, the intergenerational transmission of economic status may show different patterns than in developed countries. In addition, parents' health problems may play a role to limit children's educational attainment by reducing parenting quality during early childhood or adolescent periods. The dissertation estimates various causal channels of parents' economic resources to children. The dissertation consists of three chapters. In Chapter 1, I investigate the intergenerational relationship of earnings and education in Korea with particular attention to the trajectories of vocational and academic high school graduates. I estimate that the intergenerational earnings elasticity in Korea is 0.4, which is consistent with previous studies. When educational attainment of fathers and child are controlled, parental earnings are positively associated with children's earnings, although the association decreases to 0.08 (0.10) for sons (daughters). Sons whose fathers completed only a vocational high school degree have a greater chance of attending college than sons whose fathers completed only an academic high school degree. A college degree of a father helps children to have higher earnings and to increase their chance of attending and graduating from college. Father's education has a stronger impact on children's earnings when children's educational attainment is higher. A vocational high school degree reduces a child's probability of attending and completing college compared to academic high school graduates. However, notwithstanding this educational disadvantage, vocational graduates do not appear to suffer substantially in terms of expected earnings, relative to academic high school graduates. In the second chapter, I estimate the average causal effects of parents' educational attainment on the educational attainment of children in Korea using a new method, the nonparametric bounds approach. This approach does not require the assumption of homogeneous and linear effects of parental schooling. It also uses relatively weaker assumptions, monotone treatment response and monotone treatment selection, than assumption underlying other methods and is more amenable to testing. With the additional assumption of monotone instrumental variables, it provides the tightest bounds on the average treatment effects (ATE) that an increase in parents' education increases children's educational success. It also shows the effects are overestimated in simple regression models. The third chapter examines the effects of parental health on children's educational attainment. Parental illness changes parenting quality both by affecting family wealth and in other ways that influence children's labor market outcomes. Parental health problems can especially have relatively larger impacts on children's education when children are in either primary or secondary education than other periods. Longitudinal data from the Korean Labor Income Panel Survey, for the period 1998 - 2018, enables me to examine parental illness effects in the early childhood and adolescent period on ultimate educational achievement. Empirical application in this paper pays attention to situations that each parent's either unexpected or chronic health problems change children's human capital.
