CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND RELATED LITERATURE
INTRODUCTION
A competent health workforce is central to achieving universal health coverage
(WHO, 2006). Quality education is the foundation for developing competent health
workers who are equipped with the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to deliver
quality care. Globally there is an urgent requirement for more skilled nurses. Equally,
there is a need to provide a system to educate teachers. Interventions in nursing education
need to be carefully assessed and strategically planned and coordinated. Improving and
maintaining the qualities and competencies of nurse educators requires keeping pace with
shifting health-care expectations, evolving practice requirements, new information
technologies, and rapidly expanding evidence-based health services. These challenges
call for reformed approaches on the part of health professionals and educators alike. The
development of nurse educators can facilitate the transference of competencies to new

nursing generations and contribute to maintaining and enhancing the quality of health
services. The competencies of nurse educators reflect a need for clinical competence;
sound teaching and assessment skills reflective of an adult learning approach; and
organizational and communication skills. In addition, values and ethics, personalities, and
personal qualities, such as having a leadership role in the profession and acting as a
change agent and a role model for students, are important for nurse
educators. Socialization of students into clinical practice was stressed as an important
aspect of the role of nurse educators. Continuous improvement and ongoing professional
development are expected for all nurses. It is important to recognize that nurse educators’
function at different levels within a school, however, the development of basic or core
competencies, common to all teachers of health practitioners, is an essential prerequisite
to attaining high standards in nursing practice.
The University of Perpetual Help System – DALTA , College of Nursing is
envisioned to be a premiere college of nursing in Region IV, which shall produce nurses
who are able to render safe care to people and lead a well balanced life in a trans-cultural
society. The curriculum is arranged to promote integration and application of knowledge
and essential skills, such as writing, assessment, and critical thinking. It is formulated to
help students develop understanding of self and others, stimulate intellectual curiosity for
lifelong learning, and to develop an ability to work with an interprofessional team for the
promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health and quality of life of individuals,
families, and communities. The College of Nursing is dedicated to excellence in nursing

education through warm and competent care of individuals, families, groups, and
communities and lifelong pursuit of learning, growth, and innovation. We are committed
to prepare students to assume pivotal roles in nursing clinical practice, health care
systems management, health policy, and health care research and development.
The college’s faculty is composed of highly qualified and extensively experienced
educators and clinicians devoted to excellence in the holistic development of students as
compassionate, caring, and competent nurses.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This section includes relevant data and carefully sought information that are of
big importance in the better understanding of the study. 5
LOCAL LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Here in the Philippines, an attached agency to the Office of the President for
administrative purposes which is known as Commission on Higher Education (CHED)
covers both public and private higher education institutions as well as degree-granting
programs in all post-secondary educational institutions in the country. Patricia Tanya –
Velasco cited The Primer on the New K – 12 Educational System on March 6, 2012: At
present, the Philippines is the only country in Asia and among the three remaining
countries in the world that uses a 10 year basic education cycle (Montebon, 2014).
President Benigno Simeon Aquino III signed into law on May 15, 2013 The Enhanced
Basic Education Act of 2013 or the K-to-12 (Calderon, 2014). This new curriculum
started last school year of 2012 – 2013. Thus, some of the universities in the Philippines
stopped accepting new enrollees in the year of 2016 – 2017.
The CHED was established on May 18, 1994 through Republic Act No. 7722 or
the Higher Education Act of 1994 which was authored by Senator Francisco Tatad. In
accordance with pertinent provisions of RA 7722 and pursuant to Commission en Banc
Resolution No. 170, dated April 19, 2009, and for the purpose of rationalizing Nursing
Education in the country to provide relevant and quality health services locally and
internationally, CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 14, Series of 2009, was issued
with the following policies and standards for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
Program are hereby adopted and promulgated by the Commission. The CMO No. 14
also includes the Faculty Qualifications needed in the Nursing Education.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed these Nurse Educator
Core Competencies to enable educators to effectively contribute to the attainment of
high quality education, and the production of effective, efficient and skilled nurses who
are able to respond to the health needs of the populations they serve. The competencies
have been prepared based on the acknowledgment that nursing education and practice
are changing. Entrants to the nursing profession must practice, lead and adapt to new
evidence, increasingly diverse populations and changing needs. Education is an
important starting point for change. Following the validation process, the Nurse
Educator Core Competencies were further categorized within cognitive (knowledge),
affective (attitudes and behaviours) and psychomotor (skills) domains of learning. It is

expected that integrating the competency domains and core competencies within the
domains of learning will help facilitate the development of comprehensive educational
programmes, better assessment methods and reduce repetition of learning outcomes
within curricula. To acquire the title of qualified nurse educator, they should have
nursing education nursing qualification, clinical nursing experience and a educational
training.
Globally there is an urgent requirement for more skilled nurses. Equally, there is
a need to provide a system to educate teachers. Interventions in nursing education need
to be carefully assessed and strategically planned and coordinated. Improving and
maintaining the qualities and competencies of nurse educators requires keeping pace
with shifting health-care expectations, evolving practice requirements, new information
technologies, and rapidly expanding evidence-based health services. These challenges
call for reformed approaches on the part of health professionals and educators alike. The
development of nurse educators can facilitate the transference of competencies to new
nursing generations and contribute to maintaining and enhancing the quality of health
services.
The nursing curriculum prepares the student to carry out clinical skills
competently and confidently in the clinical settings (Panduran, Abdullah Hassana, &
Mat, 2014). Most of the time theory with lecture demonstration enables the students to
acquire the skills and to work confidently when giving care to the patients. Hagbaghery
et al. and Panduran et al. (2004, 2014), have pointed out that competence and self
confidence are the most important factors in allowing students to make appropriate
decision in patient care. Copeland (2015) considered confidence as an important aspect
of rendering nursing care and that nursing education should foster the development of
confidence of the student nurse. Additionally, Aston and Molassiotis (2015) mentioned
that nursing students are more confident and less stressed up when working with senior
mentor, indicating that nursing students are able to perform better when working with
someone who is more experienced.
Caring as the essence of nursing is widely viewed as a feminine activity.
Nightingale defines the effects of energetic healing environment; placed touch
application was firmly in the center of nursing practice. Rogers, Watson and the other
nursing theorists mentioned that energy studies represent a good example for
professional approach to spiritual health nursing. Nurses use non-conventional energy
therapies like therapeutic touch further anymore in many countries. Therapeutic touch is
a supplementary technique which is used for a specific purpose and intent of the
universal energy and affection that helps patient finding the balance and attaining
health. Nurses can reduce the occurrence of emotions like fear and anxiety, providing
strong therapeutic effects in patients by using effective contact. It is an incomplete form
of communication if nurses touch the patients just for daily planned interventions,
patient-nurse relationship will approach will strengthen more by using, the level-
professional friendship that include acceptance, interest and support posts.

FOREIGN LITERATURE AND STUDIES
The World Health Organization has developed these Nurse Educator Core
Competencies to enable educators to effectively contribute to the attainment of high
quality education, and the production of effective, efficient and skilled nurses who are
able to respond to the health needs of the populations they serve. The competencies have
been prepared based on the acknowledgment that nursing education and practice are
changing. Entrants to the nursing profession must practice, lead and adapt to new
evidence, increasingly diverse populations and changing needs. Education is an important
starting point for change. The utility of the proposed competencies will determine their
ability to bring about the desired changes. Appropriate use of technology can help to
expedite such changes. Much effort has gone into the preparation of the Nurse Educator
Core Competencies. It is the aim of the World Health Organization that they will
facilitate nurse educators to attain increased proficiency in assisting student nurses to
acquire all the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to practice nursing effectively in
the 21st century.
The National League for Nursing has also their references and guide for
Competencies for Academic Nurse Educators. These competencies promote excellence
in the advanced specialty role of the academic nurse educator. They establish nursing
education as a specialty area of practice and create a means for faculty to more fully
demonstrate the richness and complexity of the faculty role.

Nurses’ competence is based on the knowledge and skill taught to them. Nursing
training is a combination of theoretical and practical learning experiences that enable
nursing students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes for providing nursing
care (Nahid, et al., 2016). A large part of nursing education is carried out in clinical
environments. Nursing education is a transformational experience for the student.
Training nurses, both as students and in practice, is a complex process and as a result,
the role of the nurse educator is multifaceted, going beyond simply bestowing
knowledge on the learner. The nurse educator is a facilitator of learning and growth
(Ludlow, 2016).
Caring is a value-based concept in the nursing field and in education (Salehiam,
et al., 2017). It is a central focus of nursing and it is integral to maintain the ethical and
philosophical roots of the profession (Watson 0018; Lusk and Fater, 2013; Potter et al.,
2016). According to Watson, caring is the essence of nursing and so, caring science is
the main concept in nursing education. The aim of a caring science-centered curriculum
is to give nursing students an overall view of caring science, so that they will be able to
care individual's health as professional nurses (Zamanzades, et al., 2014).
SYNTHESIS
The purpose of this synthesis is to express the central conclusion of the research
findings on the teaching competency of nurse educator and caring attitude of student
nurses of University of Perpetual Help System – DALTA.
The teaching competency of nurse educators increases the caring attitude of
student nurses
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
This study is grounded on the following theoretical models: Role Model Theory
of Bandula and Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring.
Role Model Theory
The theory is based on philosophical beliefs and assumptions about people,
environments, health and nursing. MRM was both inductively and deductively derived
from practice experiences, empirical studies, and several foundational theories.
Foundational theories upon which MRM is based include those of Maslow, Erikson,
Piaget, Bowlby, Winnicott, Engel, Lindemann, Seyle, Lazarus, and Seligman. The
difference between those basic theories and the derived theory (MRM) is the synthesis
of the foundational theories in MRM.
In MRM, "Modeling" is to gain an understanding of the client's world from the
client's perspective. That is to build a "model" of the client's world
view. "Role-Modeling" is based on the assumption that all humans want to interact with
others, they want to carry out selected roles in society. Role-Modeling is using the
client's model of the world to plan interventions that meet his or her perceived needs,
grow, develop and heal. Role-Modeling requires that we aim to build trust, promote a
positive orientation and a sense of control, affirm strengths and set specific mutual
goals. Our nursing goal is to help people achieve quality, holistic health.
Major concepts in MRM are related to the underlying assumptions and
philosophical beliefs regarding how people are alike, how they differ from each other,
and what nurses do. Concepts related to how people are alike include holism, mind-
body connections, basic needs including the need for affiliated-individuation, and needs
for lifelong growth and development. Concepts that reflect how people are different
from each other include genetic endowment, the unique model of the world, adaptation,
and self-care. Concepts related to the nurse and nursing role are facilitation, nurturance
and unconditional acceptance.
Several of the above concepts are original or uniquely defined in MRM theory. For
example, the need for "affiliated-individuation" is original to MRM. "Self-care" is
viewed as a tripartite concept consisting of self-care knowledge, self-care resources, and
self-care actions. "Adaptation" is an ongoing, interactive process of coping that involves
stressors, stress and the ability to mobilize resources. The "adaptive potential
assessment model (APAM)" is a model for identifying an individual's potential for
mobilizing resources. The states of equilibrium, arousal and impoverishment describe
the individual's resource mobilization and coping potential in the APAM.

Administrators of the College of Nursing: The findings of this study could serve as
basis for curriculum and instruction implementation not only on nursing students,
medical related courses which will enhance and strengthen learner’s mastery.
Student Nurses: The findings of this study will redound to the benefit of student nurses
considering that care is the core and basic foundation for nursing practice. Thus,
teaching competency of nursing educators can be specified and results can identify how
to improve nursing care attitudes of students.
Nurse Educators: This study will be able to penetrate the development of nurse
educators to facilitate the transference of competencies to new nursing generations and
contribute in maintaining and enhancing the quality of health services.
Future Researches: This study will benefit future researchers who might have the same
interest to study the teaching competency of nurse educators and caring attitude of
nursing college students. It will serve as a reference and guide for them to carry out
their research.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY

CHAPTER 2
METHODOLOGY
This chapter describes the research design and a method used in the study and is
presented in the following order: research design, population sampling, instruments, and
data gathering process, data analysis, and methodological limitations.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The research design used to this study was quantitative descriptive research
design. Quantitative nursing research is the study of nursing phenomena that offers
precise measurement and quantification (Potter, Perry, Stockert & Hall, 2016).
Quantitative research methods emphasize measurement, testing of hypotheses, and
statistical analysis data. Descriptive designs gather information about conditions,
attitudes, or characteristics of individuals or group of individuals. The purpose of
descriptive research is to describe the meaning of existing phenomena (Fain, 2017).
Using this of research design, the researcher was able to know the relationship
between the intervening variables: age, gender and year level and answered a certain
phenomenon.
POPULATION SAMPLING
Purposive sampling is more commonly known as ‘judgemental’ or authoritative
sampling’. In this type of sampling, subjects are chosen to be part of the sample with
specific purpose in mind (Suresh 2014). In this research, the respondents chosen were
based through the judgement of the researcher based on her knowledge about the
population.
RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY
The respondents of the study are the student nurses of University of Perpetual
Help System – DALTA in the year 2016 – 2017 from 3nd year or 4th year college. The
researcher identified a total of 50 student nurses as the total number of participants of
the chosen year level. The following are the number of respondents of chosen year
level: (1) 17 respondents from UPHSD – Molino Campus; (2) 7 respondents from
UPHSD – Calamba Campus; and (3) 26 respondents from UPHSD – Las Piñas Campus.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The researcher formulated an adapted questionnaire with revisions. It is composed
of three parts: Part 1 was the letter or consent asking permission from the respondents to
answer the tool, Part 2 was the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of their
age, gender, and year level. Lastly, Part 3 was the actual questioning in evaluating the
teaching competency of nursing educators, and the Part 4 was about on how the caring
attitude of nursing students is applied. The instrument used was Likert scale to measure
the level of the teaching competency of nurse educators and caring attitude of student
nurses.
VALIDATION OF INSTRUMENT
The instrument used has undergone content and face validation. The researcher
has submitted the questionnaire to three experts in the field of teaching and in nursing.
The remarks and the comments were applied to improve the contents of the tool given
by the validators.
The questionnaire had gone through a pilot testing to determine its feasibility and
reliability despite being validated by the experts. Pilot testing refers to the so-called
feasibility that is trial run or small-scale versions, which are done in preparations for the
major study (Suresh, 2014). The reason why pilot testing is done before gathering data
is to check if the questionnaire made was valid to use for the study. The pilot testing
was then conducted in the College of St. Jude in Salawag, Dasmariñas with 10
respondents on November 11, 2017, then reliability and validity testing was done at the
R&DC office, after passing the reliability test the questionnaire to use was accepted as a
valid tool for data gathering. All questions are consistently measures what it’s supposed
31
to measure and eight items from the caring attitude tool was removed.
DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE
The process by which the researcher will gather data was divided into two parts:
Part 1: Preparation
The researcher made a letter of permission to address to the validators from the
Faculty of the College of Nursing, Ms Maria Eleanor Usis, RN, MSN, Ailenne Maclid,
RN, MAN and Mary Grace Prowel, RN, MSN. The letters were signed by the research
adviser and noted by the dean of the College of Nursing.
Part 2: Data Gathering
After the letter of permission was approved, the researcher scheduled a suitable
day for student nurses of University of Perpetual Health System – DALTA, to gather
data. The researcher started gathering data on October 19, 2017 at UPHSD Molino
Campus, November 14, 2017 at UPHSD Calamba Campus and February 9, 2018 at
UPHSD Las Piñas Campus.
STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA
The researcher used the following statistical treatments to test the hypothesis of
the study.
Frequency Distribution. A frequency distribution is an organized tabulation of
the number of individuals located in each category on the scale measurement (Gravetter
& Wallnau, 2009).
Formula Σ f = N
Where f= the number of times each category occurs
N= the number of respondents
The frequency distribution was used to determine the profile of the respondents in
terms of age, gender and year level.
Percentage Distribution. This shows the percentage of the sample subjects in
a sample which scores fall into a specific group and the number scores in that group,
(Tan, 2011).
Formula %= F/N x 100
Where F= is the frequency of responses
N= is the total number of respondents
100= is the constant in order to get the percentage
This was used to identify the profile of the respondents when they are grouped
according to age, gender and year level.
Mean. It is the sum of all scores divided by the number of scores, (Myers, J.,
Well, A., Lorch, R., 2013).
Formula (x) = Σx
N
Where x= the mean value of the group scores
Σ= the individual scores in the group of scores
X= the individual scores in the group scores
N= the total number
Mean was used to determined the level of teaching competency of nurse educator
and the caring attitude of student nurses of University of Perpetual Help System –
DALTA.
T-Test. It compares the responses of two respondent groups in the study
on the phenomenon under investigation. This is used to test for significant differences
between two samples (Tan, 2011).
Formula
Where: x1=Mean of first set of values
x2= Mean of second set of values
S1 = Standard deviation of first set of values
S2 = Standard deviation of second set of values
n1 = Total number of values in first set
n2 = Total number of values in second set.

T – test was used to determine the level of teaching competency of nurse
educators and caring attitude of student nurses of University of Perpetual Help System –
DALTA when group according to age, gender and year level.
F-test ANOVA (analysis of variance) can test the differences between two
means which can be used to examine data from two or more groups, (Tan, 2011). F-
test is simply a ratio of two variances. ANOVA uses the F-test to statistically test the
equality of means.
Formula: F= MSbetween
MSwithin
F – test ANOVA was used to determine the significant difference in the level of
teaching competency of nurse educators and caring attitude of student nurses of
University of Perpetual Help System – DALTA when group according to age, gender and
year level.
Pearson Correlation. It measures quantitatively the extent to which two
variables are correlated (Sharma, 2012). It is a number (r=correlation coefficient) that
describes the strength of the relationship between two variables (Tan, 2011).
Formula r= N Σxy- (Σx)( Σy)
√ [N Σx2- (Σx)2] [N Σy2- (Σy)2]
Where: N= number of pair of scores

Σxy= sum of the products of paired scores
Σx= sum of x scores
Σy= sum of y scores
Σx2= sum of x squared scores
Σy2= sum of squared y scores
Chapter 3
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
This chapter deals with the results of the gathered data and its corresponding
discussion in relation to the teaching competency of nursing educators and the caring
attitude of nursing students of University of Perpetual Help System – DALTA.
Problem 1. What is the profile of student nurses of University of Perpetual Help
System DALTA when they were grouped according to age, gender and year level?
Profile of Student Nurses of UPHSD in terms of Age
Frequency and percentage distribution was used to determine the profile of the
respondents according to age. This is categorized as 16 – 20 years orld, 21 – 25 years
old, 26 – 30 years old, 31 – 35 years old and 36 – 40 years old.

Figure 2. Profile of Student Nurses of UPHSD in terms of Age
Figure showed the percentage distribution of the profile of student nurses of
University of Perpetual Help System – DALTA when they were grouped in terms of
age. It showed that out of 50 students, dominant majority of them were under the age
group 16 – 20 year old having a total of 74% share in the population distribution.
Further, it shows that student nurses under the age group 21 – 25 year old and 26 – 30
year old have an equal share of 8% each group. Lastly, it shows that students under 31 –
35 year old and 36 – 40 year old have 6% and 4% share, respectively.
This implies that majority of the respondents were at age of 16 – 20 years of age.
Education in the Philippines is offered through formal and non-formal systems. Formal
education typically spans 14 years and is structured in a 6+4+4 system: 6 years of
primary school education, 4 years of secondary school education, and 4 years of higher
education, leading to a bachelor’s degree. Most bachelor degrees are for four years.
Students are usually from 16 to 20 years old (DepEd).

Profile of Student Nurses of UPHSD in terms of Gender
respondents according to gender. This is categorized as male and female.
Figure 3. Profile of Student Nurses of UPHSD in terms of Gender
Figure shows the percentage distribution of the profile of student nurses of
