The clinical related factor provides knowledge as to the set-up of the DOTS facility. The researchers used the correlational survey design of research since the purpose of this research study is to correlate the DOTS client and clinical related factor as to the effectiveness of the Directly Observed Treatment Short course (DOTS) for tuberculosis in terms of program administration, information dissemination, diagnostic services and medical supplies, and medical follow up. The researchers used the NTPTB register of each Rural Health Unit for the list of client who is registered under the Directly Observed Treatment Short course strategy for the fiscal year 2010 as the respondents of this study. There were eighty-two (82) DOTS client identified and diagnosed of having tuberculosis. In the analysis and interpretation of the data, frequency count, mean and percentage are employed particularly in the interpretation of the profile of the respondents and clinical related factor. Coefficient of Correlation and T-test (test of relationship) is used in determining the influence of the profile of the client and clinical related factor to the effectiveness of the DOTS program. The findings of the study reveals that there is a significant relationship between the profiles of the clients, clinical related factors and the level of effectiveness of the Directly Observed Treatment short course program of the RHU.

The study evaluated the effect of endurance exercises on the chronic nonspecific neck pain and disability of bodybuilders. The study used a quantitative multiple time series experimental research design. The subjects were chosen purposively and randomly assigned to either a 4-week neck endurance (experimental group, EG) or usual training (control group, CG). A demographic questionnaire was used in collecting the person and task variables; analog visual scale for the environmental factors, and the Neck Disability Index (NDI) was used in evaluating neck pain and disability. Multiple linear regressions were used in identifying the strongest predictor of NDI while t- test was used to test the hypothesis. Age was the strongest predictor of NDI (r=-0.571, p=0.342). There was a reduction in the NDI score of both the EG and CG, which was statistically significant on the fourth week. A t-test revealed a statistically insignificant result (p=0.124) on the CG while a statistically significant improvement (p=0.000) was found in the EG. A modification of general workout of younger bodybuilders and inclusion of endurance exercises can potentially decrease their risk of neck pain.

The participants were taken from Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, and they were selected through purposive sampling and snowball technique. The research used the phenomenological method and pre-experimental design using pretest and posttest assessments. In this study, the theory of connectedness was developed by establishing axioms and propositions. The theory suggests that human beings need others to socialize and relate with.

This study examined the confluence between the Sorsoguenos passionate love for mother-nature and the contention that the beehive is the best “Pharmacy” and “Clinic” one could ever find. Utilizing the descriptive survey method, a total of 91 respondents in the province of Sorsogon were interviewed on their beliefs in the Apitherapy practice against Green Psychology. The use of field notes became very helpful in demonstrating the extent of effectiveness of utilizing various bee products, ease of its use and satisfaction criteria as measured in a 5-point Likert rating scale. It was concluded that the Sorsoguenos, people of Sorsogon, consider Apitherapy as a natural medicinal alternative which promotes both internal (psychological) and external (environmental) healing. The most common bee products used Apitherapy practice include, honey which is believed to be a very effective treatment for cough and asthma; propolis for allergies and as anti-inflammatory agent; and bee pollen for post-menopausal symptoms and insomnia. Kendall’s W measure of agreement or concordance disclosed a high degree of acceptability on the use of the common bee products for Apitherapy practice in Sorsogon. It is believed that Apitherapy practice would promote restoration of mother-nature while it provides monetary and healthy benefits. The study reveals a positive confluence between the two variables. It implies that Sorsogue n os believe on the significant role of bees for mankind and that humans are needed by the bees for conservation and biodiversity. This further provides for creative experimentation on value adding as it could lead to more diversified and increased income for beekeepers and non-beekeepers.

Eating habits and nutritional intake were poor to moderate. Age and estimated monthly family income were significantly correlated with weight problems. Měranao adolescent students’ weight problems were more on being overweight than underweight; their poor eating habits and deficient nutritional intake contributed to their weight problems.
