Effectiveness of Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEmONC) training among doctors, nurses and midwives of BEmONC certified RHU's in northern Iloilo Aricaya, Jogiel Vea M.; Catunao, Raye G.; Evalle, Elizabeth Ann E.; Auricio, Marian Carmilla D.; Palomar, Carmelle Antoinette A.; Trabado, Gelaine Pet S.; Guillergean, Fred P. Background: Pregnancy and child birth are among the leading causes of death, disease, and disability in women of reproductive age in developing countries. In the Philippines, the estimates are 4,000 mothers and almost 34,000 neonates die annually. Most maternal deaths occur during labor, delivery and the immediate postpartum period due to complications from pregnancy. The Department of Health created the Maternal Newborn Child Health and Nutrition (MNCHN) strategy to achieve the twin goals of maternal and neonatal mortality reduction. Under this strategy, Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEmONC) facilities was developed (DOH, 2011). Purpose of the study: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of BEmONC training among doctors, nurses, and midwives of BEmONC Certified RHUs in Northern Iloilo. Methodology: This study employed a descriptive design. Conducted in September 2014, all BEmONC trained doctors, nurses and midwives from BEmONC certified RHUs (1 year or more) from the 5th district were taken as participants. A questionnaire based from the DOH Evaluation Tool, which was divided into four criteria: Provision of Quality Antenatal Care, Provision of Quality Labor and Delivery, Provision of Quality Postpartum Care and Performance of Essential Newborn Care, was given to the participants to answer. A record review tool was also utilized. The total number of deliveries, maternal and neonatal death, Maternal Morbidity Rate and Neonatal Mortality Rate, number of referrals and number of women with complete prenatal visits before and after certification were also included but were only described. Mean and standard deviation were employed for descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test, set at .05 alpha for inferential analysis. Results: Results revealed that there were significant differences in the practices of doctors, nurses and midwives before and after BEmONC training. The trained health-care workers indicated there were several activities that they did not practice after BEmONC training and at the same time, there were new activities that they practiced after training, such as, the six (6) obstetric signal functions and emergency newborn interventions. Recommendations: Based on the result, regular training of the doctors, nurses and midwives is recommended for maintenance and further improvement in the provision of Maternal and Newborn Care.

Patient's gender preference for nursing care Biscaro, Ma. Gay B.; Delgado, Jessica L.; Jacar, Jacquelyn E.; Mamon, Johnlyn Rose M.; Pomoy, Sharlene E.; Vallota, Ma. Jocelle J.; Penuela, Ayesha Background: Patients gender preference for nursing care is one of the concerns in the hospital setting that have existed in the past few years. However, it remains unclear since it is unexplored and usually not given that much attention. Most studies have identified preferences for medical practitioners and few studies were done concerning gender preferences for nursing care. Purpose of the study: This study determined the gender preferences for nursing care among the patients of West Visayas State University-Medical Center. This study was conducted August to September 2014. Methodology: A quantitative-qualitative approach was used with a total of 140 participants selected through quota sampling: 20 participants each from 7 areas of confinement in the hospital. A three-page researcher made survey questionnaire was administered. Eighteen (18) participants were purposively selected for Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to obtain in-depth dimensions of their differences and Thematic Analysis to identify common themes. Ethical approval was granted by WVSU Unified Biomedical Research Ethics Review Committee. Findings: The study revealed no significant differences in patient's gender preferences for nursing care when classified as to: age, gender, religion, marital status, educational attainments, monthly income, and area of confinement. The following themes were identified according to their preference: Male: "Sturdiness beyond Compassion"—"less emotional", "strong, firm", "works faster"; Female: "the warmth of a Healing Heart"—"compassionate", "approachable and easy to communicate with", "refined and well-detailed"; No preferences: "Professionalism: Basis for Patient's Trust"—"provides the same care", "same training and education", and "I have no choice but if given the chance, I will", "no choice, whomsoever is available". Recommendations: Further studies are encouraged to broaden and develop this study's identified categories (themes) and with additional respondents for identification of new themes. Studies in different health care settings could be done such as in private health care facilities.

Narratives of mothers taking care of an offspring with Schizophrenia Bagsit, Astrid Mae P.; Consumo, Erick Dwayne E.; Gancia, Josie Beth T.; Leysa, Meldeline P.; Panaligan, Christine Marie P.; Tomulto, Daniel Ace P.; Abello, Myrna L. Background: Schizophrenia is a severe form of mental illness that affects many individuals. Research has especially indicated that mothers tend to assume the primary caregiving role. Holm (1993) stated, mother's identity develops throughout life and she has to face new challenges in line with the child's development. Purpose of the Study: This study aimed to collect the narratives of selected Ilonggo mothers on giving care to their offspring with Schizophrenia and to synthesize their experiences based on their stories. Methodology: This qualitative research utilized narrative-based approach. The key informants were eight mothers taking care of an offspring with Schizophrenia. The purposive sampling was employed through correspondence with Resident Physicians in Psychiatry of West Visayas State University-Medical Center as gatekeepers. Researcher-made guide questions duly validated were utilized in a semi-structures interview. Approval from West Visayas State University Unified Bio-medical Research Ethics Review Committee was granted. The study was conducted in two phases: the preliminary phase (Phase I) involves data gathering and the final phase (Phase II) focus on analysis. Findings: Maintenance of life of the affected child was the caring routine of the mother. Exchange of support includes the financial sources mainly from the family members and the government. Stressful situations include financial constraints and limited government support. Compassion is the fuel which drives the mother to take care her child. Recommendations: Financial support from the government should be implemented as well as emotional support from the primary healthcare providers. Nursing programs in the undergraduate level should also include the primary caregivers of patients diagnosed with Schizophrenia as part of the related learning experience (RLE)
