                                                              ABSTRACT

    The Gregorio T. Lluch Hospital is facing certain problems such as dilapidated structures, lack of senitation, poor aesthetic design, insufficient parking space and crowded area due to the lack of space for the patients. With these existing problems, this study conceptualizes a design that can serve as basis for the improvement of Gregorio T. Lluch Hospital In Iligan City. This research paper aims to improve the existing Gregorio T. Lluch Memorial Hospital to provide better services to the public and promote development quality health care for the people of the City of Iligan.

   The researchers interviewed the patients and the staff of Gregorio T. Lluch Memorial Hospital by usinh a questionnaire regarding existing features of the hospital and its dimensions. The comments and suggestions given were incorporated into the manuscript to serve as an outline for the design of the proposed improvement of the hospital. A conceptual design and its appropriate dimension of the hospital were next created in three different schemes that features a modernized hospital, better hospital facilities, more organized structure, parking spaces and aesthetic landscapes. A survey was conducted and three hundred (300) individuals were selected randomly to choose the best schemes for the conceptual design of the Gregorio T. Lluch Memorial Hospital.

Results reveald that of the three (3) schemes, the majority of the respondents selected the first design scheme which is the large and enclosed 3 storey concrete structure with front parking area and roof deck which has a small cottage and rooms for the doctors and visitors with a total floor area of 19,288 sq.m. This serves as the final conceptual design for the improvement of the Gregorio T. Lluch Memorial Hospital.

ONLINE ABSTRACT

Examining the Role of Birth Plans and Locus of Control in Childbirth Satisfaction

This study sought to determine how locus of control and adherence to birth plan impact women’s childbirth satisfaction. Satisfaction with childbirth has the potential to impact the mother’s health, relationship with her child, ability to breastfeed, and attitude toward future childbirth experiences (Goodman, Mackey & Tavakoli, 2003). Pregnant women were recruited to complete an extended prenatal and brief postpartum survey. Participants responded to a number of questionnaire measures and provided details about their desired birth scenario, and were then asked postpartum about their delivery outcomes.. It was predicted that women with an internal locus of control would have greater satisfaction with their birth than women with an external locus of control, and that women whose birth plans were not adhered to would be less satis fied than the women whose birth plans were adhered to, but this effect would be greater in women with an external locus of control. Significant differences were found in expectations for childbirth between women who did and did not plan to write birth plans and between women who planned to have natural or medicated deliveries. Postpartum analysis revealed a significant pattern between intended and actual birth mode. More data collection and analyses are necessary to further address the hypotheses of the study.

 BULLYING AND VICTIMIZATION: SCHOOL CLIMATE MATTERS By Jennifer L. Elfstrom Bullying at school is prevalent in the United States and worldwide, but little is known about the relationship between students’ experiences with bullying and their perceptions of school climate. This study investigated the link between bullying and three elements of school climate—social support from teachers, social support from peers, and school connectedness. The study used MANOVA analyses to confirm differences between students categorized as bullies, victims, bully-victims, and bystanders. Findings indicate that students who are not directly involved in bullying perceive more social support and school connectedness than all other students. Students who are bullied perceive less social support from peers than other students, while students who bully perceive less social support from teachers and connection to school than other students. Findings from this study support strategies to increase social support and school connectedness, as well as the meaningful involvement of both teachers and students in bullying prevention efforts.https://etd.ohiolink.edu/!etd.send_file?accession=miami1186089056&disposition=inline

Profiles of Bullying Victimization, Discrimination, Social Support, and School Safety:  Links with Latino/a Youth Acculturation, Gender, Depressive Symptoms, and Cigarette Use. American Journal of Orthopsychiatry 86(1), 37-48. 

Abstract

Latino/a youth are at risk for symptoms of depression and cigarette smoking but this risk varies by acculturation and gender. To understand why some youth are at greater risk than others, we identified profiles of diverse community experiences (perceived discrimination, bullying victimization, social support, perceived school safety) and examined associations between profiles of community experience and depressive symptoms, cigarette smoking, acculturation, and gender. Data came from Project Red (Reteniendo y Entendiendo Diversidad para Salud), a school-based longitudinal study of acculturation among 1,919 Latino/a adolescents (52% female; 84% 14 years old; 87% U.S. born). Latent profile analysis (LPA) revealed 4 distinct profiles of community experience that varied by gender and acculturation. Boys were overrepresented in profile groups with high perceived discrimination, some bullying, and lack of positive experiences, while girls were overrepresented in groups with high bullying victimization in the absence and presence of other community experiences. Youth low on both U.S. and Latino/a cultural orientation described high perceived discrimination and lacked positive experiences, and were predominantly male. Profiles characterized by high perceived discrimination and /or high bullying victimization in the absence of positive experiences had higher levels of depressive symptoms and higher risk of smoking, relative to the other groups. Findings suggest that acculturation comes with diverse community experiences that vary by gender and relate to smoking and depression risk. Results from this research can inform the development of tailored intervention and prevention strategies to reduce depression and/or smoking for Latino/a youth.  http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=buy.optionToBuy&id=2016-00321-003

Abstract

Bullying is a common experience for many school-aged youth, but the majority of bullying research and intervention does not address the content of bullying behavior, particularly teasing. Understanding the various forms of bullying as well as the language used in bullying is important given that bullying can have persistent consequences, particularly for victims who are bullied through biased-based bullying, such as being called gay, lesbian, or queer. This study examines bullying experiences in a racially and ethnically diverse sample of 3,379 rural elementary-, middle-, and high-school youth. We use latent class analysis to establish clusters of bullying behaviors, including forms of biased-based bullying. The resulting classes are examined to ascertain if and how bullying by biased-based labeling is clustered with other forms of bullying behavior. This analysis identifies 3 classes of youth: youth who experience no bullying victimization, youth who experience social and emotional bullying, and youth who experience all forms of social and physical bullying, including being bullied by being called gay, lesbian, or queer. Youth in Classes 2 and 3 labeled their experiences as bullying. Results indicate that youth bullied by being called gay, lesbian, or queer are at a high risk of experiencing all forms of bullying behavior, highlighting the importance of increased support for this vulnerable group.http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=buy.optionToBuy&id=2014-57192-007

Abstract

The nature and extent of bullying among school children is discussed, and recent attention to the phenomenon by researchers, the media, and policy makers is noted. The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) is a comprehensive, school-wide program that was designed to reduce bullying and achieve better peer relations among students in elementary, middle, and junior high school grades. Several large-scale studies from Norway are reviewed, which provide compelling evidence of the program’s effectiveness in Norwegian schools. Studies that have evaluated the OBPP in diverse settings in the United States have not been uniformly consistent, but they have shown that the OBPP has had a positive impact on students’ self-reported involvement in bullying and antisocial behavior. Efforts to disseminate the OBPP in Norway and the United States are discussed.http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=buy.optionToBuy&id=2010-13348-015
