PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This part of the research study presents, analyzes, and interprets the data

pertaining to the impact on the quality of life, psychological wellbeing and

performance of student-parents in Ubay-I, II, and III District school year 2023-

2024. The said data were then analyzed and interpreted in accordance to the

specific problems of the study.

The profile of the respondents includes age, sex, grade level, marital

status and number of child in related to the impact on the quality of life,

psychological wellbeing and performance of student-parents. The results are

presented below.

Table 1 presents the profile of respondents. In terms of age, sex, grade

level, marital status and number of child.

As to age of student-parents, it is reflected in the table that 53.68% of

student-parent respondents are 21-25 years old and 2 out of 95 student-parents

age 40 years old and above with a percentage of 2.11%. This implies that the

majority of student-parent respondents are young adults.

According to Maisela and Ross (2018), early parenthood is detrimental to

student parents, as navigating the dual roles is often a challenging and balancing
act. Therefore, these findings imply that both adolescence and young adults

affect the quality of life, psychological wellbeing and their performance.

 As it is shown in the table, more than 53.68 % of student-parent

respondents are 21-25 years old and 2 out of 95 student-parents age 40 years

old and above with a percentage of 2.11%.

As to sex, it is shown in the table that mostly of the student-parent

respondents are female with the frequency of ninety-three (93) with a percentage

of more than 97%. On the other hand, 2 out of 95 student-parent respondents

are designated as male with a percentage of 2.11%. This implies that majority of

the student-parents are female.

As to grade level, it is shown in the table that the predominant category

among student-parent respondents is classified as "Others," comprising a

frequency of sixty-three (63) individuals, which corresponds to a percentage of

66.32%. Conversely, there are no student-parent respondents identified within

the grade levels 7, 8, and 9, accounting for 0% of the total sample size of 95.

This suggests that the majority of student-parents fall into the "Others" grade

level classification.

As to marital status, the largest proportion comprises single females,

constituting 70.53% (n = 67) of the total sample. Married females make up a

smaller percentage, representing 20% (n = 19) of the sample. A nominal

percentage of the sample is represented by separated females, comprising

1.05% (n = 1) of the total. No individuals in the sample are categorized as

widows. Additionally, a segment of the sample, accounting for 8.42% (n = 8), falls

under the category of "Others," which includes individuals whose marital status is

neither single, married, separated, nor widowed.

 As to number of child, it is represented by Student-parent 1, consists of 69

individuals, comprising 72.63% of the total sample. Following this, Student-parent

2 accounts for the next largest group, with 14 respondents, representing 14.73%

of the sample. Student-parent 3, Student-parent 4, and Student-parent 5 consist

of 3 individuals (3.16%), 2 individuals (2.11%), and 7 individuals (7.37%),

respectively. These findings highlight a predominant prevalence of student-

parents with one child (Student-parent 1) in the sample, while smaller proportions

are observed among respondents with two, three, four, and five children.
