INTRODUCTION
(WHO, 2006). Quality education is the foundation for developing competent health
workers who are equipped with the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to deliver
quality care. Globally there is an urgent requirement for more skilled nurses. Equally,
need to be carefully assessed and strategically planned and coordinated. Improving and
maintaining the qualities and competencies of nurse educators requires keeping pace with
call for reformed approaches on the part of health professionals and educators alike. The
services. The competencies of nurse educators reflect a need for clinical competence;
sound teaching and assessment skills reflective of an adult learning approach; and
organizational and communication skills. In addition, values and ethics, personalities, and
personal qualities, such as having a leadership role in the profession and acting as a
change agent and a role model for students, are important for nurse
aspect of the role of nurse educators. Continuous improvement and ongoing professional
development are expected for all nurses. It is important to recognize that nurse educators’
function at different levels within a school, however, the development of basic or core
envisioned to be a premiere college of nursing in Region IV, which shall produce nurses
who are able to render safe care to people and lead a well balanced life in a trans-cultural

help students develop understanding of self and others, stimulate intellectual curiosity for
lifelong learning, and to develop an ability to work with an interprofessional team for the
communities and lifelong pursuit of learning, growth, and innovation. We are committed
to prepare students to assume pivotal roles in nursing clinical practice, health care
systems management, health policy, and health care research and development.

The nursing curriculum prepares the student to carry out clinical skills

Mat, 2014). Most of the time theory with lecture demonstration enables the students to
acquire the skills and to work confidently when giving care to the patients. Hagbaghery
et al. and Panduran et al. (2004, 2014), have pointed out that competence and self
confidence are the most important factors in allowing students to make appropriate

others, they want to carry out selected roles in society. Role-Modeling is using the

This chapter describes the research design and a method used in the study and is
presented in the following order: research design, population sampling, instruments, and
RESEARCH DESIGN
The research design used to this study was quantitative descriptive research
design. Quantitative nursing research is the study of nursing phenomena that offers
precise measurement and quantification (Potter, Perry, Stockert & Hall, 2016).
Using this of research design, the researcher was able to know the relationship
between the intervening variables: age, gender and year level and answered a certain
phenomenon.
POPULATION SAMPLING
Purposive sampling is more commonly known as ‘judgemental’ or authoritative
sampling’. In this type of sampling, subjects are chosen to be part of the sample with
specific purpose in mind (Suresh 2014). In this research, the respondents chosen were
based through the judgement of the researcher based on her knowledge about the
population.
The respondents of the study are the student nurses of University of Perpetual
Help System – DALTA in the year 2016 – 2017 from 3nd year or 4th year college. The

UPHSD – Calamba Campus; and (3) 26 respondents from UPHSD – Las Piñas Campus.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
of three parts: Part 1 was the letter or consent asking permission from the respondents to
answer the tool, Part 2 was the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of their
age, gender, and year level. Lastly, Part 3 was the actual questioning in evaluating the
teaching competency of nursing educators, and the Part 4 was about on how the caring
attitude of nursing students is applied. The instrument used was Likert scale to measure
the level of the teaching competency of nurse educators and caring attitude of student
nurses.
VALIDATION OF INSTRUMENT
The instrument used has undergone content and face validation. The researcher
has submitted the questionnaire to three experts in the field of teaching and in nursing.
The remarks and the comments were applied to improve the contents of the tool given
by the validators.
The questionnaire had gone through a pilot testing to determine its feasibility and
reliability despite being validated by the experts. Pilot testing refers to the so-called
feasibility that is trial run or small-scale versions, which are done in preparations for the
major study (Suresh, 2014). The reason why pilot testing is done before gathering data
is to check if the questionnaire made was valid to use for the study. The pilot testing
was then conducted in the College of St. Jude in Salawag, Dasmariñas with 10
respondents on November 11, 2017, then reliability and validity testing was done at the
R&DC office, after passing the reliability test the questionnaire to use was accepted as a
valid tool for data gathering. All questions are consistently measures what it’s supposed

to measure and eight items from the caring attitude tool was removed.
The process by which the researcher will gather data was divided into two parts:
Part 1: Preparation
The researcher made a letter of permission to address to the validators from the
Faculty of the College of Nursing, Ms Maria Eleanor Usis, RN, MSN, Ailenne Maclid,
RN, MAN and Mary Grace Prowel, RN, MSN. The letters were signed by the research
After the letter of permission was approved, the researcher scheduled a suitable
day for student nurses of University of Perpetual Health System – DALTA, to gather
data. The researcher started gathering data on October 19, 2017 at UPHSD Molino

group 16 – 20 year old having a total of 74% share in the population distribution.
Further, it shows that student nurses under the age group 21 – 25 year old and 26 – 30
year old have an equal share of 8% each group. Lastly, it shows that students under 31 –

Frequency and percentage distribution was used to determine the profile of the
University of Perpetual Help System – DALTA when they were grouped in terms of
gender. It shows that out of 50 students, majority of them were female students with
82% share in the distribution. On the contrary there were few or 18% of them who were
