B. Observation
The researches like wise observe the attitudes and
behavior of the respondents towards their
relationships with their classmates and peers. Most of
the students willingly expressed their emotions
towards their problems.
VALIDATION OF QUESTIONAIRES
The 300 problems in the Masteral Thesis of Peconcillo
Layog (1986) was used in the study. These were
presented to the third year nursing students for pre-
testing . they were asked to underline the problems
which a student encounters. Then they were asked to
encircle the number of problems which they think
affected them most. The researchers then tallied and
classified these into eleven (11) areas. Each was then
trimmed down to five (5) sub problems. The final draft for
the questionnaire about the problems encountered by the
Sophomore Nursing Students was written with the
following options whether the student encounters the
problem always, sometimes, or never. Likewise, the
second set questionnaire was prepared which is about
the adjustments made by the students regarding each
problem are this is in the form of checklist.
STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF
DATA
To give valid interpretation of the data, the following statistics were
employed.
Weighted Mean
This was used to determine the gravity of the problem and area presented.
To interpret data from responses on the problems encountered by the
nursing Students, the following choices were: 1-Always, 2-Sometimes,
and 3-Never. To interpret the results verbally, the following scale and
categories were used.
Ranking
This was used to find out which of the problems of the nursing students
are more likely to be encountered always.
This was also used in ranking the adjustments.
Percentage
This was used as a descriptive measure together with the frequency
distribution to show the relationship between the magnitude of the item
being described and its relation to the whole. The formula is P= x
(100/n) where P stands for percentage value, x the number to be
computed, 100 is a constant number and n is the total number of cases.
Scale Verbal Description
2.51- 3.00 Never
1.51- 2.50 Sometimes
1.00- 1.50 Always
One-Way ANNOVA- This is used to test the null hypothesis.
