Road crashes are leading causes of traumatic injury in the world and the pedestrians are always the most vulnerable victims. Motor Vehicular Accidents (MVAs) have been found to be one of the causes of posttraumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorders. This study utilized the descriptive (Husserlian) phenomenology by Edmund Husserl to explore the meaning of a person's experience. Five (5) male and 5 female pedestrians who encountered a motor vehicular accident within the localities of Cebu participated in the study until data saturation was reached. After consent had been signed a recorded interview was done to explore the experience of these informants. Subsequently, transcriptions were made, the data were then analyzed, compared and condensed to draw a common ground. Using Colaizzi's seven steps in processing phenomenological data analysis, three themes emerged from the 28 significant statements of the informants. The first theme, "Pull Over", talks about the trauma that caused a standstill. "Caution", the second theme, refers to proceeding but with caution; and lastly, the third theme, "Proceed", refers to finally moving on with confidence. The results of this study would help to assist reshaping the driver's mindset when driving and additional measures may be implemented to ensure road safety such as educating drivers of the possibilities of the events that might occur when they ignore the risks of driving.
Level of consciousness has always been part of the endorsement and/or data in the nurses notes. Commonly used in the practice is still the GCS. It has also been an observation that in different cases, even though the patients are awake, since they are intubated, verbal response is immediately scored as 1 which contributes to a low GCS score that is relative to a bad prognosis. Also, assessment for complex reflexes are left out which can entail a better assessment on LOC. Hence, this study aims to compare the assessment, awareness, and perception of nurses in different levels of expertise assigned in the emergency department on the level of consciousness of intubated patients using the FSS and GCS tools to hasten triage categorization. It utilized a quantitative, descriptive-comparative type of research conducted in a government hospital in Cebu City. Specifically, on the areas of Emergency Department and Non-Trauma, where the researcher has easier access to registered nurses who are taking care of intubated patients. The researcher utilized awareness and perception tools and the FSS and GCS where researcher used complete enumeration involving 32 nurses. In light with the findings of this study, this can be utilized through thorough introduction of the FSS by an expert and on how to utilize the tool.
