Abstract

Objectives of the Study: A. General Objective: The study was primarily done to determine the perceived effects of social well-being and student nurses’ performance in Community Health Nursing. Specifically, this study sought to determine the following: 1. Profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, religion, and the barangay health station where the student nurse attended. 2. Perceived effects of the respondent’s social well-being in terms of social acceptance and social integration to their performance in community health nursing. 3. The academic performance of the respondents in community health nursing. 4. If there is a significant difference in the social well-being of the respondents when they are grouped according to age, sex, religion, and the barangay health station where the respondent attended. 5. If there is a significant relationship between the perceived effect of social well-being of the respondents and their performance in community health nursing.

B. Methodology: The study used a Descriptive Analytical Quantitative Design which analyzed the significant difference in social well-being among respondents based on factors such as age, sex, religion, and barangay health station attended. The study utilized a Descriptive Correlational Quantitative Design to quantify the strength of the relationship between social well-being and performance in community health nursing. The design is used to assess and explain the relationship between social well-being and nursing students' performance, ensuring no external or internal manipulation. The researchers believed this design is suited for evaluating the hypothesis and addressing the problem.

C. Major Findings: The following were drawn from this study: 1. Most of the respondents were mostly young adults (20 to 24 years old) (60.2%), females (78.3%), Roman Catholics (82.5%), and clinically placed in Medicion 1, Imus, Cavite (22.3%). 2. Respondents reported a high level of social integration (M = 3.64, SD = 0.294) and moderate social acceptance (M = 3.45, SD = 0.319). The overall social well-being was high (M =3.54, SD = 0.281). 3. Academically, 69.9% of the student nurses achieved a “Good” performance. 4. There was no significant difference when grouped into respondent’s age (Uvalue = 3210.000, p-value = 0.766 > 0.05 level of significance), sex (U-value = 2289.500, p-value = 0.843 > 0.05 level of significance), religion (U-value = 1976.000, p-value = 0.966 > 0.05 level of significance), barangay health station attended (H-value = 9.158, p-value = 0.165 > 0.05 level of significance). 5. There was no significant relationship between social well-being and academic performance in Community Health Nursing (𝑟𝑠 = 0.133, p-value = 0.088 > 0.05 level of significance).

D. Conclusions: From the findings of the study, the following conclusion are drawn: 1. The demographic profile of respondents were mostly 20 to 24 years old, females, Roman Catholic, and majority had their community duty rotation in Medicion 1, Imus, Cavite. 2. In terms of social integration, the respondents' responses were uniform. This demonstrates how well the community duty rotation works to promote a feeling of belonging and connectedness throughout the community environment. 3. The participants generally received good academic performance in their Community Health Nursing 1. Factors that may have an effect on this include the use of information and communication technology, good teaching techniques, supportive nurse educator-student relationships, and parental participation. 4. The non-significance of the difference with the social well-being of the respondents revealed that it is possibly influenced by other factors such as shared community values, social support systems, skill competency, curriculum, and resource use rather than age, sex, religion, and the barangay health station where the student nurse attended. 5. The non-significance of the relationship with the perceived effect of social well-being of the respondents is possibly influenced by mental health, peer support, environment, clinical instructors, community health setting participation, and mentorship from professional nurses rather than their academic performance in Community Health Nursing 1.
