Abstract:
The study aimed to determine the perceptions of three groups of raters comprising of supervisors, couples of reproductive ages/clients/patients, and alumnae on the return service obligation [RSO] rendered by graduates from Region 08 in the University of the Philippines Manila-School of Health Sciences [UPM-SHS], Main Campus, Leyte. A descriptive analytical design utilizing six sets of pilot-tested questionnaires with Five- Point Likert Scale was employed. The respondents were chosen through a pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria; while the raters were selected using the distribution free, non probability purposive sampling [Downie and Heath, 1984; Talbot, 1995; Gay, 2003]. Kruskall-Wallis Analysis of Variance [Gay, 2003] revealed that among the RMs, significant difference in Community Organization and Community Development [COCD] [KW-computed value=6.709 with p-value= 0.035] and Manager of Barangay Health Station [KW-computed value=10.478 with p value=0.005] at 0.05 level of significance; rejecting therefore the null hypothesis of no significant difference on the two functional areas. Among the RM-RNs, two of six indicators showed to be significant at 0.05 level of significance, that is, COCD [KW-computed value=8.573 obtained p-value=0.014]; and Manager and Supervisor [KW-computed value=6.804 with obtained p-value=0.033]; rejecting the null hypothesis of no significant difference. The results were descriptive of the respondents and a validation study is highly recommended using a larger population to achieve generalizability.
