Abstract

This study aims  to determine the adaptation responses of senior nursing student from selected nursing schools in the care of pediatric clients. This study answered the following inquiries: 1.Determine the profile of the respondents in terms of ordinal position in the family, religious affiliation and place of origin. 2. Find out the adaptation responses of the senior nursing students in the care of pediatric client in terms of physiologic mode, self-concept mode, role-function mode and interdependence mode. 3. Determine the difference in the adaptation responses when the respondents are grouped according to ordinal position in the family, religious affiliation and place of origin. A sample of 107 respondents comprising of senior nursing students from selected nursing schools was drawn using simple random sampling. Profile of the respondents in terms of ordinal position in the family, an average of 28% revealed that majority of them was eldest child, followed by the middle child with 27.1%, youngest child with 25.2% and the least were other than youngest, middle, and eldest with 4.7%. In terms of religious affiliation, majority of them were catholic with 83.1%, followed by protestant with 9.3%, other religion with 4.7%, muslim 2.8%, and least were Iglesia ni Cristo with 1.9%. In terms of place of origin, most of them were from Luzon with an average of 83.2%, followed by Visayas with 12.1%, and least were from Mindanao with 4.7%. 2.The adaptive responses of senior nursing students in the care of pediatric clients: a.In terms of physiologic mode, the highest adaptive responses were urgency in urination with the computed mean of 2.86. No tightness of chest and no profuse sweating with the computed mean of 2.82 and 2.69 respectively. The least adaptive physiologic response was no rapid breathing when client is in life and death situation with the computed mean of 2.17. b.In terms of self-concept mode, the highest adaptive responses were not resenting the child when he or she refuses medication with the computed mean of 2.79. Not ignoring discomforts and not withdrawing with the computed mean of 2.77 and 2.76 respectively. The least adaptive self-concept response was singing or humming when rendering nursing care to pediatric client with the computed mean of 1.73. c.In terms of role-function mode, the highest adaptive responses were giving medications with extra care with the computed mean of 2.83%. Asking the assistance from clinical instructor (CI) during blood transfusion and confirming and conferring with CI before doing any procedure with the computed mean of 2.61 and 2.50 respectively. The least adaptive role-function response was reading topics on pediatrics before handling patients with the com puted mean of 2.21. d. In terms of interdependence mode, the highest adaptive responses were playing with pediatric client with the computed mean of 2.80. expressing compassion and empathy to patient's relative with the computed mean of 2.30 assisting the client and their families in making informed choices and acting in child's best interest and telling stories to pediatric client with the computed mean of 2.28 and 2.04 respectively. The least adaptive interdependence response was giving candies or toys when pediatric client cries with the computed mean of 1.88. 3. There was no significant difference on the adaptation responses of senior nursing students in the care of the pediatric client when grouped according to ordinal position in the family, religious  affiliation, an d place of origin.
