Since the researchers decided to utilize 30 percent of the population, they obtained 112 students, upon computation of probable respondents. This means that they used 12 to 13 students from each of the nine (9) sections. They were selected through stratified random sampling. The research instrument employed was self-made and was validated by four chosen faculty members from the College of Nursing. Frequency distribution and percentage were used for the presentation of the profile of the respondents and mean was used to establish different factors in the mentioned instrument that affect the academic performance of the respondents.
