ABSTRACT

ABALOS, LOVELY D; ABARQUEZ, MAE ANN M; ABON, DESIREE M.; ABULENCIA, JOYCE IVANA J.; ACAY, PATTY GYNE B.; ANG, JONATHAN C.; AQUINO, ARIEL; AQUINO, JOHN RAMDI N.; AQUINO, JULIUS B.University of Pangasinan, 2009, The Extent of Development and Practice of Simone Roach's Five Caring Values by Level IV Students of the University of Pangasinan Major Problem: What is the extent of development and practice of Simone Roach's five caring values by Level IV nursing students of the University of Pangasinan. This study aimed to determine the profile of subject-cases of Level IV nursing students of the University of Pangasinan as to: gender, place of residence, ordinal position of the family, religion, and high school of origin. Also this study aimed to answer the questions: To what extent have the subject-cases developed the five caring values of Simone Roach?; To what extent have the subject-cases practiced the said values; Is the significant relationship between the subject-cases' extent of development of Simone Roach's five caring values and the selected profile of variables?; and Is there a significant relationship between the the subject-cases extent of development and practice of the five caring values? This study used the descriptive method of research which employed the questionnaire and documentary analysis techniques of gathering data, as the study focused on the theory of five (5) caring values by Sister Simone Roach. The study identified the extent to which the values are developed and practiced by the Level IV nursing students of the University of Pangasinan and the role of these values in building a nurse-patient relationship. It also involved a thorough analysis and interpretation of data gathered.

viii

The study was primarily focused on finding out the extent of development and the extent of practicing the five caring values. The researchers concluded that the Level IV nursing students adhere to the five caring values of Simone Roach, most especially the values of compassion and conscience. The Level IV nursing students have yet to enhance their practice of the values of competence and confidence. And the development and practice of Simone Roach five caring values is influenced by such factors as gender, religion and place of residence. In order to improve and develop the five caring values of Simone Roach, the researchers recommend that there should be an ample time of exposure of the student nurses in the clinical area in order to practice the value of caring not only theoretically but in the actual setting, student nurse should be guided accordingly by their superiors in dealing with situations requiring critical and ethical judgments in order for them to be properly equipped as early as possible in preparation for their actual practice of their chosen profession, each student nurse should have a background or knowledge of practices of different cultures and races in order to adopt the trends of delivering cross-cultural nursing and thus applying the five caring values, there should be an efficient time for nurse-patient interaction to improve student nurse caring values, and the five caring values should be emphasized to student nurse in order for them to be aware on how to practice and develop the extent of their caring values.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION Caring is a human trait. All have the ability to care, and to be caring in there work, however, it is accepted that some professions display more caring attributes than others. Nursing is a profession whose members are expected to be caring; caring is the foundation and provides the framework for nursing practice. A nurse’s ability to care is influenced by many factors. To create a caring environment and engender an atmosphere of respect and compassion, nurses need to understand what caring is, how to be caring and the impact of caring and none caring on others. Caring is not unique to nursing or even to the caring professions; it is a primary characteristic of being human. Further reflections in Caring from the Heart, examined the convergence of caring and spirituality. Sister Roach’s research, inspired by The Universe Story (Swimme, Berry, 1992) and other writings, pursued the more universal call of care as a “child of the universe.” Patient care is part of a nurse's role. Nurses use the nursing process to assess, plan, implement and evaluate patient care. Patient care is founded in critical thinking and caring in a holistic framework. Nursing care is increasingly framed in best practice, which is the application of evidence-based concepts to patient problems in a particular setting. Florence Nightingale is recognized as the first nurse researcher (en.wikipedia.org).

THE PROBLEM

Statement of the Problem The major problem of the study was: What is the extent of development and practice of Simone Roach's five caring values by the Level IV nursing students of the University of Pangasinan. This study seeks to answer the following sub-problems. 1. What is the profile of subject-cases Level IV nursing students of the University of Pangasinan in terms of the following: a. Gender b. Place of residence c. Ordinal position in the family d. Religion e. High school of origin 2. To what extent have the subject-cases developed the five caring values of Simone Roach? 3. To what extent have the subject-cases practiced the five caring values of Simone Roach? 4. Is there any significant relationship between the subject-cases extent of the development of Simone Roach's five caring values and the selected profile variables. 5. Is there any significant relationship between the subject-cases extent of development and practice of five caring values?

2

Research Hypotheses

There is no significant relationship between the extent of development and extent of practice of the five caring values and the variables namely, gender, religion, place of residence, high school origin and ordinal position to the family.

Objectives of the Study

1. To assess the extent of the development and practice of caring values of the Level IV students of the University of Pangasinan, College of Nursing. 2. To identify whether there is a significant relationship between the extent of the development and practice of the caring values and the enumerated variables.

Basic Assumptions

1. Every student nurses should have the five caring values to render proper care to clients. 2. Each student nurse develop different kinds of caring values. 3. A student nurse can practice molding the five caring values deep within him or herself.

Scope and Delimitation

This study is focused on the extent of development and practice of Sister Simone Roach’s five caring values (compassion, competence, confidence, conscience, commitment) by the Level IV nursing students of the University of Pangasinan. This study was done on 300 fourth year student nurses enrolled in the University of Pangasinan during the first semester of 2009-2010. They will be involved as subject-cases of this investigation and will be asked to respond to the survey questionnaires. This study used descriptive method and used gender, place of residence, religion, ordinal position in the family, and high school of origin as variables to relate and to be used in Sister Simone Roach’ caring values.

Definition of Terms Care. To have or show regard, interest or concern as respecting some person, thing or event. (Webster Comprehensive Dictionary,1987). Commitment. This refers to obligation or pledge to carry out some action or policy. (Webster Comprehensive Dictionary,1987). Compassion. This refers to the feeling for another’s sorrow or hardship that leads to help; pity; sympathy; (The World Book Dictionary, 1984). Competence. It is having the knowledge, judgment, skills, energy, experience and motivation required to respond adequately to the demand of one’s professional responsibilities. (Roach 1992). Confidence.

This is the quality which fosters trusting relationship. (Roach, 1992).

4

Conscience.

This pertains to ideas and feelings with in a person that tells him when

he is doing right and warns him of what is. (The World Book Dictionary,1984). Values. This is something that regarded as desirable, worthy or right as a belief. (American-Webster, 1993).

Significance of the Study

All people have the ability to care, and to be caring. However, it is accepted to say that some professions display more caring attributes than others. Nursing is a profession, wherein nurses are expected to be caring. Through caring, nurses are able to perform nursing practices in a way that make it so peculiar to the profession, through which nurses are able to touch the lives not only the ones being cared of, the patients, but even the families or their significant others. This is why caring, in its most basic sense, enables nurses to care for people from all walks of life with respect and equality. Roach underscored the importance of caring in nursing by saying: Within the nursing profession, the notion of caring is representative of distinctive caring attributes and embodies certain features pertinent to the profession of nursing (Roach, 1992). Sister Roach proposes and describes the five Cs, which each of the health care profession need: compassion, competence, confidence, conscience and commitment. She further proposes that all authentic caring responses must include all five elements. The study on Simone Roach’s five caring values are beneficial to student nurses since it will help them to be aware on the attributes of human behavior that expresses an act of

5

caring and such knowledge will better prepare them what to do when caring, the importance of caring to patients, and to the practice of nursing. The study will likewise prove useful to nurses since they will have more bases for understanding what caring is, how to be caring, and the impact of caring and non-caring on others. Likewise, this study conducted will be of benefit to those who are planning to pursue the nursing profession, as in the case of our respondents (the student nurses), as this will be a guide for them in order to foster personality development in becoming a more competent and dedicated caregiver. It is also expected that the results of this study will be of value to health professionals as a means for them to foresee the therapeutic outcomes of caring when used in clinical practice. To future researchers, this study will provide a substantial information and direction in their investigations that have something to do with nurse-patient interaction.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents a review of related professional literature and related studies from which the conceptual framework of this present investigation was drawn.

Professional Literature

Nothing is more worth recognizing than nurses’ accomplishments big or small every

day and thanking them for keeping the profession of caring to move on. Nursing is a noble profession and nurses have contributed their commitment and dedication to their patients, giving comfort, support and love. Why is caring unique when given by the nurse versus given by just anyone? Often times, we hear the common expression; “I care about you,” or “I will help you overcome this.” The nurse’s job of caring for patients is a physical manifestation of a caring attitude and calling. What then is it in the care given by a nurse that is so powerful that it can actually lead to the process of healing?

Sister M. Simone Roach's 5 C's of Caring Sister Marie Simone Roach, as an experienced nurse-educator,

takes a strong

position that the primary goal of any educational program in health care is to professionalize the human capacity to care through the acquisition of knowledge and skills. She makes it a

7

point to discredit the cure - care dichotomy often drawn between the professions of medicine and nursing. Sister Roach also feels strongly that caring is not unique to any one health care profession but rather is an important component of each one. She quotes Nouwen's observation that "care is the basis and precondition of all cure." She proposes and describes the five C's, which each of the health care professions need: compassion, competence, confidence, conscience and commitment. As she sees it the professional relationship involves: "a sharing in the world of the client/patient (compassion); an appropriate level of knowledge and skill (competence); a sensitive awareness to moral and ethical issues (conscience); and a steadfastness of purpose and devotion to the needs of the other (commitment)." She further proposes that all authentic caring responses must include all five elements.

Compassion Compassion, being the desire to help another person, if inherent on a future health worker, would significantly be a very important determinant in the success of healing a sick person. The health worker would perform his/her task not out of requirement or order but as an innate character of having the desire to help which would translate to the worker enjoying what he/she is doing. With this atmosphere of the health worker’s inherent desire to help, the patient in turn would immediately sense this desire and would significantly influence the healing process of his malady. The fact that the patient feels the nurse’s sincerity would immediately create a positive attitude in the patient’s healing process. It is for this reason that Roach have identified compassion as one of the important C’s of healing. It is also for this important reason which creates the uniqueness of the nurse as a healing agent.

8

Competence Competence, as a health worker plays a very significant role in the achievement of goals as a health care provider. Various events and instances have occurred this past year which tend to taint or tarnish the competence of nurses as health providers. This important factor must always be considered because of the fact that we, as health workers, are not dealing with commodities or objects, but lives. Although there are various levels of measurements in assessing the competence of health providers, the standards set by the governing bodies must be adhered to strictly, only if just to maintain the integrity of the health service being provided for. This factor would be achieved through set standards in the learning institutions, which are accredited by competent governing bodies, and the different testing parameters for graduates of these institutions most important of which is the licensure examinations. Confidence Another significant attitude/values would be confidence. A feeling of trust or belief in oneself would play a very important factor in caring for persons with malady. Having been sick at one time in our lives and subsequently treated by health workers would lead us to remember that a health provider who is very confident of himself, influences significantly the healing process by transferring this confidence to the sick person. This positive attitude would enhance the rehabilitative process that need to occur for a person to get healed. Thus, this would translate to an uninterrupted and eventful recovery. Confidence can be built up by acquiring the necessary skills in performing a task, honing it and eventually mastering the different process it entails.

9

Conscience Conscience, the knowledge of right and wrong and the feeling that one should do what is right, to me, the researcher exerts a very significant influence in providing a truly complete and total health care. Although one’s feelings should not exert an influence in the delivery of health care, thinking that what you will do is right morally, socially, technically would provide you with the confidence in the correct performance of your duties which would drive you away from committing blunders and at the same time, preventing you from developing guilt feelings. Conscience is one of the important values needed by healing agents to perform assigned tasks within the framework and norms of civilized men. Commitment Commitment, as a researcher of this study would be synonymous to a pledge. In this situation, this would be tantamount to a promise of providing a health service which is bound by sincerity, honesty, integrity and totally committing oneself to provide what you are tasked to do. This attitude/value is often clouded by personal motives which often results in unwanted outcomes. An example of which would be serving in the community as a Public Health Nurse, not because of the desire to do so, but just to fulfill requirements needed for gradation. Although this is more often the scenario, inculcation of these attitudes/values early in the learning phase of the students would significantly improve this situation. Commitment is one of the important human values that cannot be replaced by any amount or any forms of material things/objects.

Related Studies

Foreign Literature Work is described as the noblest expression of man’s self and is considered the biggest source of lifetime fulfillment. It provides a person with a sense of identity. Furthermore, it contributes to a person’s sense of self esteem, affiliations and belonging. With love and enthusiasm directed toward work, hardship can become a magical tool to develop, enrich, and nourish the lives of individuals. In any situation of need or urgency, a person’s value system, emotional needs, memories and “gut feelings” play a large part. Many ethics system rule out feeling and needs as unreliable, and want to make decisions entirely based on reason and rationality. No wonder that many people find it difficult to relate to them. For many, the heart rules the head, and this is the preferred way of making many ethical decisions. An ethic of care takes this seriously and responds in ways that are adequate to be perceived needs. The need to “care” is paramount. In this, it is not just the “cared-for” who benefits, but crucially, also the “onecaring” in that the “one-caring” is also receiving. In this way, both parties are fulfilled and “humanized”. The Canadian nurse-philosopher Simone Roach (1992) has also established a set of aspect of caring. These are related particularly to nursing but grow out of her general statement that “caring is the human mode of being”. Mayeroff says that, “in caring, a man lives the meaning of his own life. Care is the basic element of being a person. When we do not care, we lose our “being” and caring is a way into “being”. The old perception was that

11

doctors’ cure and nurses care. Yet, care is basic and a precondition of cure and as a doctor said, caring was done long before curing was done (Nouwen 1993). Caring embodies certain qualities and specific characteristics. Roach (1992) has noted that these all start with the letter “C”: compassion, competence, confidence, conscience, and commitment. Man in the concept of caring certainly help people to grow in understanding of himself and his values in life. For many people, that is one of the biggest undertakings of their lives for it is the foundation of social and ethical living of human being.

Local Literature In another research conducted by Dela Cruz, Dysus (2004) entitled Analysis of Community Health Needs for the Establishment of a Community Based Rehabilitation Program in Malitam, Batangas City; he stressed the importance of every member of the community as vital in establishing and maintaining a productive Philippines. He attempted to work into the level of awareness of the community on the community based rehabilitation programs and come up with possible health programs that Malitam, Batangas City is in need of. He concluded that the family of persons with disability has adequate knowledge on community based rehabilitation as depicted by their level of awareness. On the other hand, he recommended that the entire community should extend their values on cooperation and unity not only on socio-economic problems, but also on health aspects. This work is related to the present research since both premise the need to study Public Health Programs. Though the past focused on Community Based programs as it is their differences, both are serious endeavors in identifying the kind of community and awareness of the community to the

12

programs. The focus of the present study is on the attitude of the persons rendering the Public Health Programs while Dela Cruz on the needs assessment programs. Jocano (2000) studied the work values of successful Filipinos. His study revealed that attitudes towards wok differentiate high performers from low performers. High performers have positive attitudes on work and are happy with their jobs. They challenge jobs. On the other hand, low performers have negative work attitudes or values and are unhappy with their jobs. High performers look at their jobs as sources of happiness. To arrive at an understanding of Philippine value system, one should realize that the values that operate among Filipinos are also found among other nationalities because human nature and behavior are basically similar and because human values are universal (Lynch & Quisumbing as cited by Javier 1993). Work is man’s responsibility. Every man is duty bound to find a proper job and do it properly (Magturo 1985). As it is the most natural reality for man, every noble human activity which man carries out to attain his objectives is work and since man lives for a purpose, then he requires a means by which his purpose can be realized. This is the role of work, it provides man the proper venue to attain his purpose, and as he does so, he is further enabled to develop himself and others. He becomes capable of contributing to the progress of society and the vast arena of human concerns, thereby collaborating in the effort to build a universe wherein which his aspirations in life may be a reality. Work attitude refers to the good standard of behavior of men at work. A person’s attitude towards work is determined by the values he upholds, both as a person and as a worker. Studies have shown that this attitude influences a worker’s effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity in an organization (Andres, cited in Javier, 1993). Hence, it is important that a worker should possess not only the necessary knowledge and skills, but also desirable attitudes and work values (Javier 1993). With the aid of values, man can delay his 13

satisfaction and fixes his mind and behavior to distant and somewhat unrealizable goals, striving and ideas. His value judgment enables him to choose between alternative courses of behavior and solve chronic inner tension and conflicts by accepting standards and demands that controls him from beyond. It guides him in seeking goals that are not merely adaptive to internal bio-social situation, but also to the transcendent situation or system of which he recognized himself as an interactive, integral part (Dotong 1997). Therefore, at specific periods in a person’s life, some work values may form the center for his meaning system. The evolution of a person’s value system, therefore, is affected by such factors as a person’s physical, psychological and social environment, his spiritual and religious orientations, kinship group, his current personal situation and past societal and cultural experience and his institutional background (Gonzales 1990). The values that are internalized as a result of these experiences determine virtually all kinds of social attitudes, ideologies, and behavior of a person. Consequently, one cannot talk of values being unique to the Filipino, but rather of recognizable values distinctive of a culture-unique combinations and manifestations peculiar to society as well as differences in ranking and emphasis. The research of Jocano though tackles Filipino work attitudes in an organization; it is significantly related to the present study for it is also focused on attitudes and values. Since attitudes and values are universal, it can also be true to a person in different situations in life. The present investigation determines the attitudes of nurses in delivering Public Health Programs set on the caring principles set on the value system of a person on the job which is unique of him as a Filipino.

14

Human attitudes and values are universal. One can speak of Filipino attitudes and values because of the way human values or their elements are ranked, emphasized, and combined. The values that people share, and the ways that people live, work, and play together. Communities are shaped through relational actions that can be and are influenced in a number of crucial ways by the knowledge created in Extension Programs of Public Health Nursing. There is an opportunity in Extension community professionals to extend and accelerate the change process. Bringing people together by getting them to reflect on their positive experiences of living in a community can be a powerful tool for understanding and then building healthy communities and bring about positive values in life. Attitudes and Values are dynamic. Young people see object and life in terms of right and wrong, black and white. Experiences of living, mixing with people and deserving meaning will shape and change one’s attitudes and values. Attitudes and Values that are repeatedly threatened in ethics are those related to the value of life, such as human rights, dignity and respect. In the nursing setting, on the other hand, a person’s attitude towards work is determined by the values he upholds both as a person and as a worker. Such concepts on attitudes and values can be related to the nursing approach on the value of caring people. The need to care is paramount with people, for people, to people, and as people. This study rests on the concept by Canadian nurse-philosopher Simone Roach (1992) on care as the basic element of being a person and thus pioneered the 5 C’s of caring as compassion, competence, confidence, conscience and commitment.

15

In the context of community participation and involvement, nurses as human beings may vary his perceptions of caring for people in the community for values of man is dependent on other factors. Conceptual Framework This study is concentrated on the concept of the significance of caring values, among level IV student nurses in the performance of related learning experiences. Care as defined by the Webster’s Comprehensive Dictionary refers to having concern, interest or show regard as respecting some person, thing or event. Many people knew that one of the greatest embark of their lives for it is the baseline why most of them live socially and ethically. Simone Roach stated that “caring is the human mode of being”. This statement probably talks about the main reason why humans remain in contact with other individuals in the community. Another idea brought by Mayeroff says that “in caring, a man lives the meaning of his own life. Care is the basic element of being a person. When we do not care, we lose our being” and caring is a way into being”. We do care because we are human beings. We show love, compassion and time to every individual we know who deserves our care. Care is basic and precondition of care and as a doctor said, caring was done long before curing was done (Nouwen 1993). It is not the process of curing ill individual why health care givers convicted to render care but it is care that leads them to cure the sick ones. Significant caring values play an important role in the nursing process, but there are factors affecting the ways, attitudes and perceptions on how a health caregiver provide nursing care to his/her client.

16

The Reviewed Literature and the Present Study The foreign literature reviewed in this study dealt with the factors that affect man's way of rendering care. Such review helped the researcher to gain substantial information about the concept of caring thereby enabling them to conceptualize this present study. The reviewed local studies, in such a way, were related to the present study. These studies, like the present study, deal with the human values as an element of being a person. It explores the possible relationship between the caring values and student nurse's related learning experience and performance.

CHAPTER 3

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This chapter presents the methodology of the study, which includes a description of the research design, sources of data, instrumentation and data collection and tools for data analysis.

Research Design This study used the non-experimental design and descriptive method of research, employing the questionnaire and documentary analysis techniques of gathering data, as the study focused on the theory of 5 caring values by Sister Simone Roach. This identified the values that is mostly developed and practiced by the Level IV Nursing Students of the University of Pangasinan and the role of these values in building a nurse-client relationship. It involved the analysis and interpretation of the data that had been gathered. According to Adanza and Martinez, this kind of research method is tenable if the collection of data is for the purpose of describing existing conditions or situations, objectives or people without being influenced by the investigator.

Sources of Data 1. Students. The subject-cases of this study are 800 Fourth Year Nursing students of the University of Pangasinan, who are enrolled during the first semester of school year 2009 – 2010. They will be asked to respond the survey questionnaire.

18

2. Records. Records of the concerned students will be used, particularly, the master list from the Electronic Data Processing section. From the 873 Level IV nursing students of the University of Pangasinan, we used .05 level of significance (95 % reliability) to obtain the 273 total of respondents. Selection of the subject-cases was done thru Systematic Random Sampling method. In order for the researcher to obtain the desired number of respondents, the researcher obtained 17 respondents per block in the College of Nursing who are currently enrolled in Related Learning Experience IV, for the first semester of academic year 2009 – 2010. The researcher obtained the respondents by starting with the first person on the list then one name will be skipped then until the 17th respondent will be reached.

Instrumentation and Data Collection Upon obtaining an approval of the thesis title, data collection was conducted by the researchers by first asking a permission from Dr. Melania C. Cenon, the Dean of the College of Nursing of the University of Pangasinan, a letter which was forwarded to the Registrar’s Office of the university, asking permission about the use of the student’s records. The complete list of the fourth year nursing students including the second coursers was secured and samples were selected at systematic random. Consequently, while obtaining an informed consent from the respondents, the purpose of the research was conveyed. Certain directions or guidelines were also written and provided for the respondents. The questionnaires were retrieved for tallying and analysis.

19

Tools for Analysis

The data gathered were treated by the following statistical measures: Percentage. This measure was complex to establish the profile of the subjectcases. The formula for the percentage is as follows:

P= F/N X 100 %

Where: P = percentile F = frequency, and N = number of respondents Weighted Mean. This Statistical tool was used to answer sub-problems 2 and 3. The formula for weighted mean is as follows (Spiegel, 1976):

WM = ∑wX ∑w Where: WM = weighted mean w = is the weighting factor X = is the observed phenomenon ∑ = is the sum

20

For the purpose of giving meaning to the weighted mean, a scale of interpretation was prepared. Such scale is as follows:

Points Assigned

Equivalent Range

3.50 – 4.49

Highly Developed/ fully practiced

3

2.50 – 3.49

Moderately Developed/ practiced

CHAPTER 4

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA This study focused on the extent of development and practice of the five caring values by the Level IV Nursing students of the University of Pangasinan school year 2009 – 2010. From the 873 Level IV nursing students of the University of Pangasinan, we used .05 level of significance(95 % reliability) to obtain the 273 total of respondents. The subject-cases were selected through systematic random sampling wherein among the several sections of the fourth year class, seventeen (17) respondents were picked up. These respondents were selected systematically through the aid of the master list of students per block arranged alphabetically. The respondents were selected by picking up the first student in the list followed by the third student, then the fifth, and so on and so forth until seventeen (17) samples were chosen. In the absence of a student who was supposedly a respondent, a substitute was selected by proceeding into the next student in line so as not to break the system in the method of selection. Respondents were given a questionnaire and were asked to answer the questions conscientiously as this will be reflective of the value of caring student nurses possess. Strict confidentiality of the respondents’ identity was likewise emphasized and ensured. They were informed that a mark check on the spaces provided would signify their answer which meant that the item selected is the most applicable and favorable to the respondents. Respondents were given an option whether to fill up their name or not on the questionnaire but their addresses and sections were asked in order to aid in the tabulation and interpretation of data.

22

There are factors that may affect or influence the responses of the subject-cases which were utilized as variables and these were: Gender; Religion; Ordinal Position in the Family; Place of Residence; and High School of Origin. These variables were reflective of what the subject-cases responded as seen with significant relationship. The five caring values advocated by Simone Roach were indicated in the questionnaire provided to the respondents to indicate the extent of development and practice of each caring values. Questionnaires were collected at the respondents’ convenience and were collated in preparation for the tabulation and analysis. The researchers tabulated the results of the accomplished questionnaire by first segregating the male from the female for an easier and more systematic tallying.

From the 273 respondents, we had tallied 147 respondents (53.85 %) from the female. This is for the reason that, majority of the Level IV students of the University of Pangasinan College of Nursing are females, and 126 (46.15 %) male students had been tallied.

Using the formula of the weighted mean, the researchers determined the extent of the subject-cases in the development of the five caring values. Based on the derived weighted mean of the five caring values, it turned out that the respondents had a highly developed caring values in terms of having a conscience of being honest and fair on the true health conditions, having a compassion in their desired profession and having a value of commitment in serving their patients and client. The subject-cases still need some further development in terms of being competent and confident in their performance.

Using the formula for weighted mean, the researchers determined the extent of practicing the five caring values of their subject-cases. The respondents conveyed that they had a full extent of practicing the majority of the caring values. It turned out that they had fully practiced the value of being compassionate, being conscientious, and being committed in terms of rendering health services to their patients. The level IV nursing students still need to apply the values of being competent and confident in the clinical setting.

CHAPTER 5

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS This concluding chapter presents the summary of findings as well as the conclusions and recommendations formulated on the basis of the findings. Summary This study entitled “The Extent of Development and Practice of Simone Roach's Five Caring Values by Level IV Nursing Students of the University of Pangasinan primarily aimed at identifying the extent of development and practice of the five caring values applied by the Level IV nursing students which are compassion, competence, confidence, conscience and commitment. The researchers were able to describe the extent on how the nursing students developed and practiced such values in terms of their desire to help another person. The ability of the respondents to respond to situations needing their initiative to serve to the best of their knowledge and skills was also assessed. The willingness to render holistic care to patients, likewise the behavior regarding ethical issues and the ability to show the innate value of caring in the handling of patients were also addressed. This study is of high relevance in the sense that it has been used to determine the extent of the development and practice of nursing students of the Level IV class in the University of Pangasinan to render their services and manifest the most valuable virtue in nursing – caring. The study conducted also pictured how the majority of the respondents value and dedicate themselves in their profession by the mere acts of showing consideration

34

and even respect to their patients. It also provided a basis for the researchers on what caring really is, on how to be caring and its impact on the delivery of nursing services. The research was conducted through distribution of questionnaires to two hundred seventy-three (273) level IV nursing students in the said university, wherein the respondents were asked to properly fill in the questionnaires which consisted of 2 categories, labeled as the Extent of Development and the Extent of Practice of the Caring Values. The respondents had indicated from what extent they had developed and practiced such values by putting a mark check in each corresponding answers. After the floating of questionnaires, data were tabulated by the researchers which served as raw information in accomplishing this study. The study conducted primarily focused on finding out the extent of development and the extent of practicing the five (5) values associated with giving care to clients by the respondents, who are the level IV nursing students of the University of Pangasinan. It was found out that among the five caring values, compassion, commitment, and conscience are the highly developed and highly practiced caring values by the Level IV nursing students. Gender, religion, and place of origin also played a significant relationship between the extent of practice and development of the five caring values. However, there is no significant relationship of the ordinal position in the family and the high school of origin in terms of the extent of development and practice of the said caring values.

35

Conclusions Base on the findings arrived in this study, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. The Level IV nursing students adhere to five caring values of Simon Roach, most especially the values of compassion and conscience. 2. The Level IV nursing students have yet to enhance their practice of the values of competence and confidence. 3. The development and practice of Simon Roach's five caring values is influenced by such factors as gender, religion and place of residence.

Recommendations

In order to address the problem in improving and developing the five (5) caring values, the researchers recommend that: a) There should be an ample time of exposure of student nurses in the clinical area in order to practice the value of caring not only theoretically but in the actual setting; b) Student nurses should be guided accordingly by their superiors in dealing with situations requiring critical and ethical judgments in order for them to be properly equipped as early as possible in preparation for their actual practice of their chosen profession; c) Each student nurse should have a background or knowledge of the practices of different cultures and races in order to adapt to the trends of delivering cross cultural nursing and thus applying the five (5) Cs of Caring;

36

d) There should be an efficient time for nurse-patient interaction to improve student nurse caring values; and e) Five caring values should be emphasized to student nurses in order for them to be aware on how to practice and develop the extent of their caring values.
