 vii

This study utilized the descriptive-correlational design

utilizing survey questionnaire .
Findings

The following are the important findings of the study: The

profile of the respondents revealed that majority of the
respondents belonged to the age bracket of 26 – 35 years of age,
females, married, college graduate and have an average monthly
income of Php 10,001 – Php 15,000.00. The level of awareness on
Iligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas Program is Aware. The level of
implementation on Iligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas Program is
Implemented. There is significant relationship on the: profile of
age, educational attainment and average monthly income with
level of awareness on Iligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas Program; profile
of age, educational attainment and average monthly income with
level of implementation on Iligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas Program;
and level of awareness and implementation on Iligtas sa Tigdas
and Pinas Program.

Perceived factors that influenced the awareness and

implementation of the program were centered on the themes:
service to the people; active participation with the program of the
government; promotion of health, nobleness of the purpose and
genuine concern for the people.

From the findings, it was also found that the level of

awareness on Iligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas Program is Aware. The
level of implementation on Iligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas Program is
Implemented. There is significant relationship on the profile of age,
educational attainment and average monthly income with level of

educational attainment and average monthly income with level of
implementation on Iligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas Program; and level
of awareness and implementation on Iligtas sa Tigdas and Pinas

It is supported by the theory of Imogen King’s goal

attainment theory. King’s framework shows the relationship of
operational systems (individuals), interpersonal (groups such as
nurse patients), and social systems (such as an educational
system, health care system). She selected 15 concepts from the
 viii

nursing literature (elf role, perception, communication, interaction,

transaction, growth and development, stress, time, personal space,
organization, status, power, authority and decision making as
essential knowledge for use by the nurses.

Based on the findings, it is concluded that the level of

awareness of the respondent is associated with the level of
implementation.
