Library reveals the findings of its study on content analysis of DLSHSI undergraduate researchesLibrary Director Efren M. Torres, Jr. shared the results of the research “Content Analysis of the Allied Health Undergraduate Research of DLSHSI” initiated by librarians of Romeo P. Ariniego MD Library Services. The study focused on analyzing the content of theses submitted to the undergraduate programs of Nursing, Physical Therapy, and Medical Radiation Technology from 1987 to 2015 in terms of topics researched, research methods employed, and statistical analysis techniques utilized and compared how these researches align with the research priorities set in a national research agenda.The key findings of the study are as follows:

  • Most of the Nursing and Medical Radiation Technology theses delved into the experiences encountered by students during internship and described the students’ academic performance as well as coping strategies of students and the certain population groups.
  • Physical Therapy theses tend to concentrate on topics related to the practice of the profession, including clients or patients.
  • Most undergraduate theses preferred to use survey and correlation to describe and infer relationships.
  • As most of the theses employed survey as the research method, descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution, mean, and standard deviation were also observed to be utilized more than other statistical techniques.
  • Most of the frequently researched topics among Physical Therapy theses were observed to be aligned with NUHRA 2011-2016 Agenda 3 Health Service Delivery, specifically public health services to the general population and special population groups. While a number of the top topics investigated by  Nursing and Medical Radiation Technology theses were observed to be aligned with NUHRA 2011-2016 Agenda 3 Health Service Delivery, the most researched topics, which dealt with coping strategies and student experiences during internship, did not match the national health research agenda.
  • A number of the undergraduate theses were observed to involve the public populace of cities and municipalities of Cavite as respondents and the collection of demographic data. This complements the implementation of provincial-level public health surveys outlined in NUHRA 2011-2016 Agenda 3 Health Service Delivery.
