This case study focuses on the impact of drug abusers in their early phase of marriage (from 1 to 5 years of marriage) which is still lack of emphasized. The objective of the study was to explore the experiences of women who lived in at-risk households after being married to drug addicts. The case study used a qualitative method. A total of ten women were selected as informants using snowball sampling. Data collection was conducted through face-to-face interviews. All informants were divorced before they reached five years of marriage. The experiences in their early phase of marriage have shown that all informants were: i) often beaten by their husbands; ii) worried about their personal safety due to their husbands’ behaviors who are also involved in other crimes; iii) facing dual-burden as their husbands did not provide any basic needs in the households; and iv) feeling uncomfortable during sexual intercourse due to their husbands forced and rough behavior. Although marriage can be a protective factor in avoiding social problems, however the drug abuse issues at an early phase of marriage, especially within 1 to 5 years, can cause risks and conflicts in the households. The study implies the importance of specific interventions for women, whose husbands are drug-addicts, to remain alert and be aware of the risks of domestic abuse. It is also important for these young mothers to have exposure on the roles of existing social support agencies and experts who can be consulted when dealing with drug abuse.","PeriodicalId":106061,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATUM Journal of Social Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133163435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The true experimental design used consisted of experimental and control groups in which experimental group received the intervention while the control group had no intervention given. The instrument used was the standardized Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) developed by the Department of Education- Bureau of Learning Delivery to measure the significance of Library Hour Program in improving pupils word reading levels. T-test were carried out to answer the research objectives of the study. There were 72 grade five pupils who participated in the experimental group. Pupils that can read at-level text was determined through the Group Screening Test. The pupils with scores less than fourteen (14) out of twenty (20) literal, inferential, and critical questions were subjected to pretest and posttest and served as the experimental group in the study. The pretest and posttest determined the reading level of pupils whether under frustration, instructional, and independent. Phil-IRI graded passages were used in this study. These graded passages were given by the Department of Education and were used to assess the reading performances of Grade Three to Six in the elementary grades nationwide. The library hour as a reading intervention program was specifically used in Alfonso Lista Central School as it was included in their daily classroom programs for thirty (30) minutes a day. After five months of conducting the intervention program, the findings revealed that during the pretest, pupils were assessed under the Instructional level. It also showed that during the posttest, pupils were found to be under the Independent Level. The results showed that Library Hour as an intervention program to improve the word reading of grade five pupils was effective. This also revealed that regardless of sex, Library Hour was found very effective. It was then recommended to include the Library Hour in the daily classroom program in schools as it was proven useful to increase pupils’ reading ability.","PeriodicalId":106061,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATUM Journal of Social Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124952729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chinese version of Self-care Heart Failure Index version 6.2 and the World Health Organization Quality of life-BREF were utilized in this study. Pearson’s correlation and t-test were tested to run the analysis. Current findings suggested that the construct of confident to conduct self-care is significantly correlated positively with quality of life (r = .41, p<0.01). There is a significant difference in self-care management between genders [t(78) = -2.94, p=.00] and illness comorbidities [t(78) = -2.07, p=.04]. Hence, it is suggested that element of confidence is one of the important factors to be considered in future self-care interventions.
