CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Ellen G. White said that the school is the place to stay next to your
home but what if the school has poor facilities? How can one stay there? Going
to school in a clean and healthy school environment is every student's right.

Many students in developing countries, however, do not have access to safe

and clean sanitation facilities on school. Schools too often suffer from non-
existent or insufficient sanitation and hand-washing facilities. Schools are not
safe for children due to neglect of the operation and maintenance of facilities.

It is believed that the conduciveness of the school facilities greatly

affects its students. A research done in 2007 by the Department of Education

in California demonstrated that school facilities affect learning and health.

Thus, environmental factors of schools are very important on how the students

learn effectively, on how students do their health practices and to have a good

health as well. It has been firmly established that people are influenced and

affected by their environment from the research made by Linda M. Frazier

(2005) in America.

An article also released in 2010 by Microsoft Philippines states that

the environment is a primary determinant of health and environmental health
hazards. Indoor and outdoor environment in the school can affect the student’s
health. Ramos (2010) added that the environment is a primary determinant of
health and environmental health hazards. Indoor and outdoor environment in
the school can affect the student’s health.

The researchers realized that the school they are studying at are
having some deficiencies in the facilities. That’s why this study was
conducted for the benefit of the school- its administrators, faculty and staff,
students and researchers as well. It was done not to enumerate the lacks of
the school but rather improve it for the sake of the health of its students.

Purpose of the Study

The purpose of the study is to determine if there exists a relationship

between the school facilities and the way the nursing students practice good
health. It merely focuses on how the school facilities affect the health practices
of the students. It aims that the people responsible for the changes will be
aware that the facilities are needed to be increased in its efficiency or to be
improved.

Significance of the Study

The study may be useful to the following:

Students. This study will help the students to clearly understand on how the
school facilities affect their health practices. The study will help the
researchers appreciate the importance of these practices in relation to
efficiency school facilities, therefore, enabling the researchers to provide
proper health teaching to the students, thereby, enhancing the student’s
knowledge regarding the relationship of facilities and health, and for the
students to know the interventions and alternative measures in practicing good
health.

School Administration. The result of the study will enable the school
administration to identify the needs of the students, with regards to the health
practices, enabling the school administration to revise a plan towards proper
modification.

Faculty and Academe. The result of this study will provide information
regarding a real picture of the situation of a school that can help the faculty
and the academe in the provision of new ideas regarding health practices. The
study will also give the faculty and academe a concrete example of the
relationship between the school facilities and the health of a person that can
be a basis for the enhancement of the clinical teaching regarding health and
environment.

This study intends to determine the effects of school facilities in the

health practices of students in Nabua National High School. (NNHS)
Furthermore, the researchers endeavour to identify and evaluate the facilities
that need improvements that may contribute to the health practices.

Specifically, the researchers vividly hope to find answers to the following

questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondent based on:

a. Age?

b. Gender?

c. Year level?

2. Do the students able to do their health practices with regard to the

school facilities in terms of:

toilet facilities?

b. garbage disposal?

c. drinking facilities(faucet)?

d. classroom condition?

e. canteen food?

3. Are the school facilities efficient for maintaining the health practices of
students?

4. What are the effects of school facilities in health practices of students?

5. Is there a significant relationship between the school facilities and

the health practices of the students?

Null Hypothesis

There is significant relationship between the school facilities of Nabua

National High School and the health practices of the students.

Scope and Limitations

The study aims to assess the effects of school facilities in the health
practices. School facilities are limited to toilet facilities, garbage disposal,
drinking fountain, classroom condition, and food and eating habits. The
study will be held at Nabua National High School. The study will start on by
the end of February School Year 2018-2019

The target populations are Senior High School Students particularly from the
GAS Strand. The researchers will randomly select forty (40) students 11-
GAS-3 and another forty (40) students from 11-GAS-4. Hence, the total
sample is eighty (80).
