Objectives: This study aims to assess caregiver satisfaction with the use of telemedicine in the evaluation of children referred for neurodevelopmental evaluation at the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) Neurodevelopmental Pediatrics Clinic. Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted on caregivers of pediatric patients aged 3 months to 18 years and 11 months old for neurodevelopmental evaluation. A questionnaire to determine the demographic and clinical data and Parent/Caregiver-Reported Satisfaction Form were administered via email, Facebook messenger or phone call. Results: Seventy-three caregivers completed the questionnaire. Most (95.9%) were mothers, 47.9% were college graduates with one parent working and 43% have an income of 10,000-20,000. Almost half (47.9%) of the children they care for were ages 3-months to 2-year 11 -months, predominantly males, with 35.6% diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and 69.9% were new patients. Caregivers were very highly satisfied with telemedicine in all domains (technical functioning, comfort and perceived privacy, access to care and overall satisfaction) as it obtained a mean of 4.51 and median of 5.00. There was no significant difference in the responses based on the age of the child and type of visit. Conclusion: Caregivers showed very high level of satisfaction with the use of telemedicine in the neurodevelopmental evaluation of children at PCMC and holds a significant promise for its use both within the context of the pandemic and beyond. Recommendations Further studies on caregivers’ satisfaction with the use of telemedicine over a sustained period and comparing telemedicine and in-person assessment are recommended.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to identify correlations in hospital nurses' work environment, emotional labor and happiness index to provide basic resources for nurses' happiness at work. METHODS: Resources were gathered from 291 nurses who agreed to participate. Random sampling of nurses in nine hospitals in G-do was done between July 15 and August 14, 2014. Data were analyzed using chi2 tests, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple hierarchical regression with SPSS/WIN 18.0. RESULTS: Mean scores (scale of 5) were nurses' work environment, 2.81, emotional labor, 3.24, and happiness index, 2.94. There were significant differences on the happiness index for: age, marriage, children, clinical experience, position, payment, and future work plans and a negative correlation between work environment and emotional labor, emotional labor and happiness index but a positive correlation between happiness index and work environment. Happiness index was influenced by work environment, emotional labor, future work plans. Explanatory power of these variables was 26%.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of nursing professionalism, academic failure tolerance and social self-efficacy on college life satisfaction among nursing students. METHODS: Data were collected between September 1 and October 16, 2015 via a self-reported questionnaire from 170 nursing students using convenient sampling methods. The survey included questions about nursing professionalism, academic failure tolerance, social self-efficacy, and college life satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression with IBM SPSS/WIN 20.0. RESULTS: Establishment vision about nursing science (β=.27, p=.006), academic failure tolerance (β=.17, p=.031) and social self-efficacy (β=.19, p=.012) of nursing students were identified as significant predictors of college life satisfaction, after adjusting for establishment vision about nursing science and satisfaction in nursing science. This model explained 21.0% of the college life satisfaction in nursing students (F=6.38, p<.001). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that academic failure tolerance and social self-efficacy were significant factors influencing the college life satisfaction of nursing students. Also, as a strategy for improving the college life satisfaction of nursing students, it is necessary to develop programs that can help to establish apparent vision and to improve satisfaction in nursing science.

Life for the Filipino psychiatrist living and practicing in the Philippines has been multi-faceted in its scope, its demands and its possibilities. Despite countless hours helping our patient live examined-lives, Filipino psychiatrists have not collectively analyzed their own. A qualitative analysis was done of data gathered from the responses of 57 (11.3%) pyschiatrists who were given a questionnaire, conversations with colleagues and the author's reflections on her own experiences. (Appendix 1) The salient points of this paper are: 1) How do we see ourselves? How do others (colleagues, community) see us, and how does their view influence the Filipino psychiatrist?; 2)What work do we do among Filipinos? Does our work help us find meaning and personal satisfaction?; 3) Why and how do these personal and professional challenges i.e. patients who die, legal and internal revenue concerns, overlapping responsibilities, stigmatized field of practices, affect our personhood?

PURPOSE: This study was designed to test the effects of providing animated information on preoperative anxiety and postoperative nursing satisfaction of children who had received strabismus surgery as well as any effects on their guardians. METHODS: The subjects of the study consisted of hospitalized school-aged children and their guardians who were waiting for strabismus surgery in the P university hospital in B metropolitan city. There were 20 pairs of experimental groups and 20 pairs of control groups. The animated information was provided twice before and after the surgery. The data was analyzed using χ2-test, t-test and ANCOVA using the SPSS program. RESULTS: The preoperative anxiety of children and their guardians was significantly improved in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. Postoperative nursing satisfaction was also significantly increased in the experimental group. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that providing such animated information may reduce preoperative anxiety and increase nursing satisfaction after the performance of strabismus surgery operations on children as well as effects on their guardians. Therefore, animated information is recommended for use in clinical fields for children who are to receive strabismus surgery child in addition to their guardians as an efficient nursing intervention.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare nursing professionalism between diploma students and bachelor students and to identify differences in factors affecting nursing professionalism according to nursing educational system. METHODS: The participants were 462 nursing students who had completed all clinical practicum courses. Of these students, 255 were from one of 2 diploma degree colleges and 207 were from one of 3 bachelor degree universities. Collected data included general characteristics, professionalism, nursing image, self-efficacy, satisfaction with nursing as a major, and satisfaction with clinical practice. RESULTS: Age, religion, grade point average, motivation for admission, nursing professionalism and satisfaction with clinical practice were significantly different between diploma and bachelor students. Image of nurse, satisfaction with nursing as a major and satisfaction with clinical practice were common factors influencing nursing professionalism in both groups. Self-efficacy was a significant factor only for diploma degree students and religion was a significant factor only for bachelor degree students. CONCLUSION: For more positive nursing professionalism by students, more attention should be paid to enhancing positive nurse images, satisfaction with nursing as a major and satisfaction with clinical practice during the students' period of study.
