The visible problems among persons living with human immunodeficiency virus are insufficiency of HIV information about the impact it will bring into their lives and non-compliance to treatment due to fear of disclosure. The need to enhance information about the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through extensive health teaching and exemplary education modeling may help persons living with HIV live with dignity and hope as children of God. The purpose of the study is to discover what substantive theory can be used to unearth variables such as active involvement in the society, life change advocacy, life promotion and dignity, one finds oneself, sensitivity to one’s knowledge needs, and accountability and commitment to be safe which led to the development of “all loving support-information, education, and counselling theory. A mixed method embedded experimental design was used in testing the theory through a double-blind approach that quantified the grounded explored experiences of the participants. The qualitative participants were 20 in focus group discussion and the quantitative participants were 30 college students living with HIV, 18-24 years old, male, Christian, and currently enrolled in a college or university in the Davao region excluding those who are sick and admitted to the hospital. Pretest findings revealed that the participants were moderately informed about facts on HIV and moderately followed the course of treatment but after a series of tests (post-test after two weeks, after one month, and after two months), reported that they were totally informed about the facts on HIV and will strictly adhere to the therapy. The pretest and post-test scores on the level of awareness and medical compliance showed significant differences after a series of tests. Thus, the application of ALS-IEC theory is effective among persons living with HIV in assessing HIV awareness and drug adherence encompassing bio-psycho-sexual-social-cultural-spiritual domains. Continued use of the personalized health assessment will also offer a learning opportunity (information) through reading (education) and nurse-delivered counselling as extended care after HIV screening counseling will address the immediate needs of clients.

In an attempt to build an enabling work environment for nurses abroad addressing the work life issues that a ect migrant nurses is crucial not only to uplifting the welfare of nurses overseas and their families, but also to meeting their expected outcomes for their patients and the system. Henceforth, this study is guided by the central question, "What characterizes the work environment and adjustment patterns of Filipino nurses deployed abroad?" With an in-depth phenomenological interviews conducted to eight (8) Filipino nurse returnees chosen by snowball sampling, the resulting shared experiences were analyzed, following the steps outlined by Ryan and Bernard (2003) for the phenomenological analysis. Interestingly, this study has identi ed three distinct yet interlocking nurses work environment typologies namely: demanding, challenging and rewarding. ese three work life issues of the environment are discussed in this research.

<p>The thrust of this study is anchored on the questions: “What are the underlying factors supportive of good governance and how are they pursued as growth strategy during 1999 to 2008?” “To what extent has good governance benefited the country in nurse migration during this ten-year period? In addressing this question, textual data and information were gathered from various documents and communications (memoranda, circulars, bulletins, transcripts, publications and others) of five (5) participating agencies: Commission on Filipino Overseas (CFO), Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). From the research materials, relevant data about governance on nurse migration were culled, organized and stratified for an in-depth, comprehensive and systematic content analysis. With this content analytic approach, five (5) factors emerged notably supportive of good governance; they are: (1) temporary and circular labor migration; (2) employment driven strategy via regulated channels; (3) reintegration goals via modes of incentives and engagements; (4) migration vis-à-vis remittances; and (5) migratory realism on the ethics of recruitment. Theoretically, the factors could demonstrate the government’s proactive stance on good governance but much remain to be seen in terms of the ethics of recruitment, reintegration goals and migration-development nexus.</p>
