Introduction: Continuance commitment is essential in our world today because employees have the fear that a loss of their jobs will affect their income and their livelihood. This is not an exception for working students. The Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Philippines has recounted that eight of the students are working student. Work-study is also an accepted practice of the most Seventh-day Adventist universities. This study seeks to investigate the continuance commitment of the students as related to compensation and social support.  Method: This study is correlational research design. Out of the 450, working students in AUP 100 were randomly sampled to answer the self-constructed questionnaires. The study used Pearson correlation to analysis the relationship and T-Test and ANOVA to analyze the difference.  Result: This study revealed that there is a high positive significant relationship between compensation and continuance commitment and a moderate positive significant relationship between social support and continuance commitment. Also, there was no significant difference in continuance commitment based on sex, age, and the number of units of the working students. The working students stay on their job because of the high compensation they receive from AUP and the moderate social support they get from their families, friends, and relatives. Both male and female working students are committed to staying on their job. The number of units did not deter the working students from being a commitment to their jobs. The study has revealed that the continuance commitment of working students is based on compensation and social support.  Discussion: The research recommends that in order to get the commitment of working students, the wage payments to them must be high with moderate social support.

Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between leisure management and test anxiety levels of university students and their differentiation status in terms of some demographic variables. Methods: The relational survey model was used in the study, and there were 284 (147 male and 137 female) university students selected from the universe by convenient sampling method. Personal information form prepared by the researchers, “Leisure Management Scale (LMS)” and “Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI)” were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, t-Test and Pearson Correlation analyzes were used by using SPSS 26.0 program. Results: There was no significant difference in the sub-dimensions of the leisure management scale and the total score averages according to the gender variable, while a significant difference was found in the TAI "delusional", "affective" sub-dimensions and total score averages. According to the family income variable of university students, a low-level and negative significant relationship was found in the "leisure attitude" sub-dimension of LMS, and in the total TAI and "delusional sub-dimension". A significant relationship was found between the age variable and the "goal setting and method" sub-dimension of LMS. A low and negative significant relationship was found between leisure and "goal setting and method", "leisure attitude" and total LMS score averages. In addition, while there was no significant relationship between LMS and TAI, it was found that there was a low and negative significant relationship between the "leisure attitude" sub-dimension and the test anxiety inventory and its sub-dimensions. Conclusion: It can be said that as the level of attitude towards leisure activities of university students’ increases, the feeling of exam anxiety may decrease, and the increase in free time will adversely affect the level of leisure management and attitude.

Objectives: To determine the correlation of Vit D3 levels with serum ferritin in patients with anemia. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Department of Pathology, Qazi Hussain Ahmed Medical Complex Nowshera. Period: 5th Jan 2019 to 31st Dec 2020. Material & Methods: Data entered in SPSS 25th version. Descriptive statistics was used for numerical variables. Pearson correlation was used for correlation of Vit D3 with gender. Normality of data was checked by Shapiro wilk test. Mann Whitney U test was used to show the difference of Vit D3 and ferritin levels in gender. Results: The total of 192 anemic patients with Hb<10g/dl as per definition of WHO1 were referred for ferritin level estimation with 142(74%) females and 50(26%) males. Out of total, 47 were also advised with Vit D3 level estimation with 29(61.7%) females and 18(38.3%) males. Mean with standard deviation for age was 30+9.6 years. Mean with standard Error of mean of Vit D3 was (Mean-15.5ng/ml, SE 2.19). Mean with standard Error of mean of serum ferritin was (Mean-48.2ng/ml, SE 5.90). We observed 35(74.5%) cases out of 47, as Vit D3 deficient with a count less than 20 ng/ml. We observed that 118 (61.5%) were iron deficient with serum ferritin less than 15ng/ml. Person correlation showed a statistically significant correlation of Vit D3 with ferritin (p= 0.022, r=0.7). Spearman ranked correlation showed a statistically significant correlation between the categories of Vit D3 and ferritin (p=0.022, r=0.7). Mann Whitney U Test showed no significant difference in gender groups for botht the variables (p= 0.86 &p=0.33 respectively) thus retain the null hypotheses. Conclusion: The frequency of deficiency Vit D3<20ng/ml in anemic patients was 74% while that of ferritin<15ng/ml in anemic patients was 61.5%. There is a strong statistically significant correlation of Vit D3 with serum ferritin in anemic patients with Hb<11g/dl.

BACKGROUND: Nursing is a profession in the health care sector that is pivotal and solely focused on serving humanity. With having to carry that burden, issues regarding mental health among nurses have been increasing. Stress is often encountered by nurses in the workplace which eventually leads to burnout. Initial evidence suggests that a positive or an increase in psychosocial wellbeing increases job satisfaction. The purpose of the study was to identify the relationship between psychosocial wellbeing and job satisfaction. Moreover, it aimed to examine the significant difference in psychological wellbeing and job satisfaction when considering age. METHODS: Utilizing Correlational design, 100 registered nurses were purposively sampled from a public hospital in Baguio City, Philippines. Psychosocial wellbeing was measured using Carol Ryff’s Psychosocial Wellbeing Questionnaire, and job satisfaction were measured using the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by Paul Specter.  The statistical treatment used was Pearson correlation and t-test to address the research questions. RESULTS: The study showed that there was a low positive significant relationship between psychosocial wellbeing and job satisfaction. There was no significant difference in psychosocial wellbeing and job satisfaction when age was considered.   DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION: The results of the study showed that registered nurses have high psychosocial wellbeing which makes them have high job satisfaction at their work environment. The study recommends that more studies should be done to identify factors influencing psychosocial wellbeing, job satisfaction, resilience-oriented training for the nurses are suggested to enhance resilience and protect the nurses from extensive stress and burnout as well as to benefit the organization with lower turnover rates and higher nurse-patient outcome.

This study aims to determine whether there is a difference between the scores of country-based environmental accounting disclosure (in the ASEAN region) and industrybased environmental accounting disclosure (in real estate, forest/agriculture, consumer goods, hospitals, energy, and chemicals/pharmaceuticals). The research method used is One-Way ANOVA difference test. The results show that there is a difference in the scores of country-based environmental accounting disclosure. The difference is between Indonesia and Singapore and between Indonesia and the Philippines. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in the scores of industry-based environmental accounting disclosure, as well as when viewed from each of ASEAN countries. Each country needs to have more stringent regulations and policies to require each company to present the environmental accounting disclosure in the annual report or sustainability report as a form of corporate legitimacy to the public. In addition, there should be a revision of the nature of the environmental accounting disclosure in the financial accounting standards, from voluntary to mandatory. It is intended that every company of various types of industries really pay attention to the environmental impact problems arising from its operational activities.

Civil registration aims to secure permanent records of people. In the Philippines, Republic Act No. 3753 or the Civil Registry Law mandates that all vital events should be registered. This study aims to assess the civil registration awareness, compliance, purpose, and challenges of municipal residents in Negros Occidental, Philippines. A descriptive-comparative and correlational study was used through a researcher-made questionnaire among 376 residents of villages identified using stratified random sampling. The study revealed that the level of awareness of the residents on civil registration is high. At the same time, the extent of compliance was high on birth and marriage but low on death registration. It also revealed a significant difference between awareness and compliance on civil registration when respondents are grouped according to sex and educational attainment, but no significant differences when grouped as to age, income, and distance to the office of the local civil registrar.  There is a significant relationship between the level of awareness and extent of compliance in the civil registration of residents. Among the challenges for nonregistration or delayed registration of vital events are lack of valid identification card and high cost of transportation, among others.

Aims Self-care helps older people manage their own health and stay independent by delaying disability. This study aimed to apply the Backman Model in determining the dimensions of self-care and the factors affecting it in the elderly in Tehran. Methods & Materials: This cross-sectional study was performed on 400 elderly members ofnursing homes by systematic random sampling. Data gathering tool included demographic characteristics and self-care behaviors, self-care orientation, life satisfaction assessment, self-confidence, social support, and functional capability. The Chi-square and Pearson correlationand regression analysis were used with a significance coefficient of 0.05. The data were analyzed in SPSS v. 19. Findings: The total mean ages of elderly were 69.11±7.51, 42.5% male. There was significant difference between the types of self-care and gender only in the dimensions of work habits (P<0.001) and medical treatment (P<0.001). Pearson correlation indicated there was a direct and positive relationship between self-care type and self-care orientation (r=0.662, P=0.01). The relationship between self-care type and social support was negative (r=0.075, P=0.01). Conclusion: Factors such as life satisfaction, functional capacity, social support and self-confidence are associated with self-care in the elderly. It is suggested that health system policymakers formulate support programs for the elderly in various forms, such as the elderly access to transportation program, facilities, tax exemptions, etc.
