What is the sleep quality of the respondents during the new normal? 2. What is the level of social intimacy of the respondents during the new normal? 3. What is the level of academic burnout of level three Nursing students during the new normal? 4. Is there a significant relationship between sleep quality and level of academic burnout among the respondents during the new normal? 5. Is there a significant relationship between the level of social intimacy and level of academic burnout among respondents during the new normal? 6. Is there a significant relationship between the level of social intimacy and sleep quality among level three Nursing students during the new normal?

Methodology: In this study, the researchers utilized a quantitative correlational research design since this study aims to investigate the correlation between sleep quality and academic burnout, social intimacy and academic burnout, and sleep quality and social intimacy among level three Nursing students of De La Salle and Medical Health Sciences Institute.

Major Findings: The following findings were drawn from the study: 1. In terms of sleep quality, 18 respondents, or 18.2% of the total sample, had good sleep quality, while 81 respondents, or 81.8% of the total sample, had poor sleep quality. This shows that the majority of the respondents have poor sleep quality as the mean score is 8.56 and is classified as a poor level of sleep quality. 2. The level of social intimacy of the respondents during the new normal reveals a high level of social intimacy. (a) Family social intimacy has a total mean score of 135.27, with a standard deviation of 9.055, and is classified as a high level of intimacy. (b) Friends social intimacy has a total mean score of 144.59, with a standard deviation of 8.838, and is classified as a high level of intimacy. (c) Overall level of social intimacy has a total mean score of 279.86 with a standard deviation of 15.105 and shows a high level of social intimacy among their friends and family. 3. The level of academic burnout of level three Nursing students during the new normal reveals a high level of academic burnout. (a) Level of academic burnout of level three Nursing students in terms of emotional exhaustion has a total mean score of 41.87 with a standard deviation of 6.519 and is classified as high level of academic burnout in terms of emotional exhaustion. (b) Level of academic burnout of level three Nursing students in terms of personal accomplishment has a total mean score of 19.06 with a standard deviation of 6.566 and is classified as high level of academic burnout in terms of personal accomplishment. Lastly, (c) level of academic burnout of level three Nursing students in terms of depersonalization has a total mean score of 11.94 and is classified as high level of academic burnout in terms of depersonalization. 4. With a significant level of 0.5, in terms of significant relationship between sleep quality and academic burnout among level three Nursing students during the new normal, the study reveals that between (a) sleep quality and emotional exhaustion, the study shows that there is a significant difference between them with a p-value of < .001, computed r-value of 0.408 and is classified as a moderate relationship. In terms of (b) sleep quality and personal achievement, the study reveals that there is a significant difference between them with a p-value of < .001, computed r-value of 0.394 and is classified as a weak relationship. In terms of (c) sleep quality and depersonalization, the study reveals that there is a significant difference between them with a p-value of .002, computed r-value of 0.301 and is classified as a weak relationship. Overall, the result shows that there is a significant relationship between sleep quality and academic burnout. Therefore, null hypothesis is rejected. 5. With a significant level of 0.5, in terms of significant relationship between social intimacy and academic burnout among level three Nursing students during the new normal, the study shows that between (a) family social intimacy and emotional exhaustion, there has a no significant relationship with a p-value of .876, computed r-value of 0.016 and is interpreted as a negligible relationship. In terms of (b) family social intimacy and personal achievement, there is no significant relationship as the p-value is .356, computed r-value of -0.094 and is interpreted as a negligible relationship. In terms of (c) family social intimacy and depersonalization, there is no significant relationship as the p-value is .231, computed r-value of -0.121 and is interpreted as a negligible relationship. For the (d) friends social intimacy and emotional exhaustion, it has a computed r-value of 0.049 and a p-value of .630 which indicates that the correlation between two is not significant at 0.05 level. (e) Friends social intimacy and personal achievement has a computed r-value of -0.058 and a p-value of .568 which indicates that the correlation between two is not significant at 0.05 level. (f) Friends social intimacy and depersonalization has a computed r-value of - 0.069 and a p-value of .500 which indicates that the correlation between two is not significant at 0.05 level. (g) For overall social intimacy and emotional exhaustion, it has a computed r-value of 0.062 and a p-value of .541 which indicates that the correlation between two is not significant at 0.05 level. (h) Overall social intimacy and personal achievement has a computed r-value of -0.050 and a p-value of .623 which indicates that the correlation between two is not significant at 0.05 level. (i) Overall social intimacy and depersonalization has a computed r-value of -0.102 and a pvalue of .317 which indicates that the correlation between two is significant at 0.05 level. Overall, the result shows that there is no significant relationship between social intimacy and academic burnout. Therefore, null hypothesis is accepted. 6. With a significant level of 0.5, in terms of significant relationship between social intimacy and sleep quality among level three Nursing students during the new normal, the study reveals that between (a) family social intimacy and sleep quality, the computed r-value is 0.052 and a p-value of .608 which indicates that the correlation between two is not significant at 0.05 level. In terms of (b) friends social intimacy and sleep quality, the computed r-value is -0.008 and a p-value of .939 which indicates that the correlation between two is not significant at 0.05 level. (c) Overall social intimacy and sleep quality has a computed r-value of 0.011 and a p-value of .914 which indicates that there is no significant relationship between the two. Overall, the result shows that there is no significant relationship between social intimacy and sleep quality. Therefore, null hypothesis is accepted.

Conclusions: After a careful analysis of the findings, researchers arrived at the following conclusions: 1. The majority of the level three Nursing students have poor sleeping quality. 2. With regards to social intimacy, the findings of the study led to a conclusion that the majority of the level three Nursing students have a high level of social intimacy among their friends and family. 3. For the academic burnout, the findings of the study led to a conclusion that the majority of the level three Nursing students have a high level of academic burnout in terms of emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, and depersonalization. 4. In terms of sleep quality and academic burnout, there was a significant relationship between the sleep quality of the emotional exhaustion, personal achievement, and depersonalization of the level three Nursing students. In which the overall results show that there is a significant relationship between the sleep quality and the academic burnout. 5. On the other hand, findings also show that between the two sub variables of social Intimacy which is the family social intimacy and friends social intimacy, family social intimacy is the only sub variable that has a significant relationship on the emotional exhaustion, personal achievement, and depersonalization of the level three Nursing students. For the overall result, it shows that there is no significant relationship between social intimacy and academic burnout. 6. For the last variables in this study, which are the social intimacy and the sleep quality, the findings show that there is no significant relationship between the two sub variables of the social intimacy which is the family social intimacy and friends social intimacy to sleep quality. The overall result shows that there is no significant relationship between social intimacy and the sleep quality of the level three Nursing students.
