Abstract

This paper is a correlational study that aims to determine the relationship between the internal and external factors, and compliance in completing thesis requirements among Batch 2025 of the College of Rehabilitation Sciences. A descriptive correlational design was utilized by providing an onsite and online survey questionnaire using a 4-point Likert Scale. The overall mean average for the age of the respondents was 22.0 years. Eighty (80) or 63.5% of the total population of the respondents were male, while Forty-Six (46) or 36.5% of the total respondents were female. Moreover, eighty-four (84) or 66.7% of the total population of the respondents were in the Physical Therapy department, twenty-seven (27) or 29.4% in the Occupational Therapy department and Fifteen (15) or 11.9% belonged to the Speech and Language Pathology Department. Results showed that both internal and external factors had “good” scores in the questionnaire, suggesting favorable experiences in these areas. 33.3% (n = 42) were able to comply with the original deadline set for their RES subject. Conversely, 66.7% (n = 84) of students were not able to comply on time and thus needed an extension. Lastly, the results showed a low statistical relationship between the internal and external factors and compliance as presented by a very weak statistical test score (Phi Cramer’s V = 0.049). Thus, it was concluded that there is no strong correlation between the internal and external factors and compliance in completing thesis requirements.
