INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
According to Hicks and Miller (2006), college years, most often are the best years
of a student's life, at its first bloom, it carries with it high anxiety about changing
location, routine and study habits; separation from friends; the learning environment;
managing finances; and much more. It also marks a period when new systems of social
support are being created.
College students are a diverse yet distinct population with specific health risks
and needs. It is large group of individuals, whom in their youth have established lifestyles
and behavior patterns, trendsetters and role models for younger people and the future
leaders of our society. The future of the country is dependent among these college
students of today as stated by the American College Health Association – National
College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA).
Nowadays, it has always been a problem for so many students on how they are to
deal with their daily schedules, how to make up for every detail of their growing up as an
adolescent and a young adult and how to enjoy their studies without compromising their
health. When you go to universities, colleges and schools, number of students are on the
benches or in the libraries spending time for their research, studies and assignments; on
the other hand, some could be sighted on the basketball courts, tennis courts, badminton
courts and the like and some maybe nowhere, just strolling around the parks.
Every student is unique from each others in so many ways, different
combinations of genetics, life experiences, environmental interactions and that does not
1
exclude their different perception on their health conditions, and merely different
perceptions on their health status. (Kozier, 2004)
Individual health of every student includes their total character, self – identity and
perceptions (Kozier, 2004). The individual is considered as a whole complete or holistic
person and not an assembly of parts. This emphasizes that one area of concern is related
to the wholeness of the person and its relationship to external environment and to others.
There is a wide range of definitions of health and wellness. It is not based on one
factor alone but encompasses several components as well. According to the World Health
Organization (1948), health is the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-
being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health also is a highly
individualized perception wherein different people may have personal definitions of it
depending on each perception. Wellness as defined is a state of well-being, wherein well-
being is a subjective perception of vitality and feeling well (Hood & Leddy, 2002)
Many factors have been playing roles in the lives of college students and it is
important to assess these factors with the use of an assessment model which organizes
holistic data, health condition and functional health patterns of a person in systematic and
organized manner (DeLaune, et.al, 2002).

Significance
The students are the central core of a university. A university could not possibly
be functional without healthy students comprising it. In addition to, the students of today
are the future of our country and they are a priority. It is also a very big factor for the
students to be healthy holistically to be able to do well in their studies.
In addition to, students are also prone to several diseases and it is important to
determine the prevalence of risk factors to their health that might or have affected their
academic performance. This will also provide the university the information it needed to
assess its students.
As future health care providers, it is very important for the researchers to
determine the 11 functional health patterns of the college students of Central Mindanao
University. This study will determine the health condition of the students holistically,
considering every student as a complex and a complete individual.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The scope of the study will cover only the assessment of the respondents’ 11
functional health patterns. The study will involve only the students of Central Mindanao
University residing in the in-campus dormitories.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE REVIEW
In preparation for the conduct of the study, the researches sought various literatures, and
other literature studies about determining the health status perception of college students.
Gordon’s 11 Functional Health Pattern
Marjory Gordon (1987) proposed functional health patterns as a guide for
establishing a comprehensive nursing data base. These 11 categories make possible a
systematic and standardized approach to data collection, and enable the nurse to
determine the following aspects of health and human function. These patterns can be used
in assessment of individuals, families, and communities. These functional health pattern
areas allow gathering and clustering of information about a client’s usual patterns and
any recent changes in order to determine if the client’s response is functional or
dysfunctional.
Health perception–health management pattern. This pattern describes client’s
perceived pattern of health and well-being and how health is managed. This consists of
compliance with medication regimen, use of health-promotion activities such as regular
exercise, annual check-ups.
Nutritional-Metabolic Pattern. This pattern describes food and fluid consumption
relative to metabolic need and is indicative of local nutrient supply. This comprises the
condition of skin, teeth, hair, nails, mucous membranes; height and weight.
7
Elimination Pattern. This pattern describes excretory function (bowel, bladder,
and skin). This includes client's perception of normal function, frequency of bowel
movements, voiding pattern, pain on urination, appearance of urine and stool.
Sleep-Rest Pattern. This pattern describes sleep, rest, and relaxation. Client's
perception of quality and quantity of sleep and energy, sleep aids, routines client uses.
Cognitive-Perceptual Pattern. This pattern describes sensory-perceptual and
cognitive patterns. This includes vision, hearing, taste, touch, smell, pain perception and
management; cognitive functions such as language, memory, and decision making.
Self-Perception/ Self Concept Pattern. This pattern describes client's self-concept
pattern and perceptions of self, body comfort, body image, feeling state, attitudes about
self, perception of abilities, objective data such as body posture, eye contact, and voice
tone.
Role - Relationship Pattern. This pattern describes Client's pattern of role
engagements and relationships. Perception of current major roles sand responsibilities
(e.g., father, husband, salesman); satisfaction with family, work, or social relationships.
Sexuality-Reproductive Pattern. This pattern describes satisfaction and
dissatisfaction with sexuality pattern; reproductive pattern. This includes number and
histories of pregnancy and childbirth; difficulties with sexual functioning; satisfaction
with sexual relationship.
8
Coping / Stress Tolerance Pattern. General coping pattern and effective of the
pattern in terms of stress tolerance. Client's usual manner of handling stress, available
support systems, perceived ability to control or manage situations.
Activity – Exercise Pattern. This pattern describes exercise, activity, leisure, and
recreation, exercise, hobbies. It also may include cardiovascular and respiratory status,
mobility, and activities of daily living.
Value – Belief Pattern. This pattern describes values, beliefs (including spiritual),
and goals that guide client's choices or decisions. Religious affiliation, what client
perceives as important in life, value-belief conflicts related to health, special religious
practices.
Gender of the Students
According to Dr. Ehlinger the health of college students is important not only to
the institutions they attend but also to the health of the state; therefore it is vital that the
student’s are assessed holistically to determine their current health care condition.
(Retrieved: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/11/071115125827.htm)
Accordingly, the ability of students' social supports, such as friends from high
school and family, to effectively lessen stress often wanes during students' transitions to
post secondary institutions (Ensel and Lin, 1991; Moss, 1973; Schutt, Tatjana and
Rierdan, 1994; Thoits, 1995). In this case, there are too many things that are always
changing in the life of a college student. Researchers have also pointed out that there is a
9
substantial change in the performance of health behaviors and that peers could have an
impact on the types sand magnitude of these changes. (Lau Quadreland Hartman, 1990)
In order to ensure a comprehensive and organized data collection, an assessment
model is used to determine a person’s health status. It is the use of a nursing model that
has been developed to focus on a wide range of human responses to alterations in health
status. These models typically include psychosocial, sociocultural, and behavioral data as
well as biophysical data. (DeLaune, et.al, 2002).
Health Status of Students
There were several surveys conducted by the American College Health
Association, the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) which focuses on the
broadest range of health issues in the college-age population. This includes habits,
behaviors, and perceptions on the most prevalent health topics of the day: alcohol,
tobacco, and other drug use; mental and physical health; weight, nutrition, and exercise;
personal safety and violence; sexual health; and impediments to academic performance.
With the surveys done by ACHA, schools and universities in USA used the data
to better understand the health trends of their students, identify any emerging problems,
determine the health areas of highest priority, report on campus behavioral norms,
identify risks to safety and academic performance, allocate monetary and staffing
resources, design new programs, and evaluate current strategies.
In another study of Melnyk, students identified the following as detriments to emotional
well-being and impediments to academic success: stress; sleep difficulties; concern for
10
family and friends; and relationship difficulties. (Retrieved:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FSZ/is_3_31/ai_n17209533/)
In the results of the research study of FayettevilleStateUniversity indicated that
gender is an important determinant of the level of health risk behaviors forAfrican-
American students. It appeared on their study that, male students were more frequent
users of drugs and alcohol, and engaged in binge drinking in larger proportions than their
female peers. Aside from that, the study had concluded also that females are less
physically active compared to that of men.
Theoretical Framework
Basically, this study has an adherence with the Health Promotion Model
developed by Pender (2005). It is based on social learning theory and emphasizes the
importance of motivational factors in acquiring and sustaining health promotion
behaviors. According to Becker (1993), demographic factors like the gender have a
positive correlation with a person’s quality of life.
Definition of the Unique Function of Nursing
This study is also based on the theory of Virginia Henderson, which is the
Definition of the Unique Function of Nursing. In this theory, Henderson described
nursing in relation to the client and to the client’s environment. She also is concerned
with both healthy and ill individuals and that it is the nurse’s role as assisting sick or
healthy individuals to gain independence in meeting the 14 fundamental needs.
(Kozier,B., et.al) These 14 fundamental needs has focused to all areas and patterns of
11
functioning of an individual thus a person is considered to be a whole complex and
complete individual.
Nursing Assessment Model
In addition to, the study is anchored also on the nursing assessment model
theorized by Marjory Gordon, the Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns. This assessment
model is used for systematic and standardized approach to data collection that enables the
nurse to determine the following aspects of health and human function.

METHODOLOGY
Locale of the Study
The study was conducted at Central Mindanao University at the five dormitories
namely the Cattleya Residence Hall, Lawaan Student Village, Mahogany Residence Hall,
Rose Residence Hall and Gardenia Residence Hall, University Town Musuan, Maramag,
Bukidnon with a total estimated population with more or less 400 people. Respondents of
the study will be the residents or occupants of the dormitories. The researchers have
chosen these dormitory residents because of their accessibility and proximity to the
researchers.
Research Design
The researchers employed a descriptive design which would describe the health
status perception of college students in Central Mindanao University.
The research design for this study is the quantitative approach which involves the
collection of numerical data in order to explain, predict, or control phenomena of interest.
Its data analysis is mainly statistical (deductive process). Specifically it is a Descriptive
Research which involves collection of data in order to test hypotheses or answer
questions regarding the subjects of the study. Descriptive research will be used to obtain
information concerning the current status of the phenomena with respect to variables or
conditions in a situation. The methods involved range from the survey which describes
the status quo, the correlation study which investigates the relationship between the
independent and dependent variable. According to Selltiz, et. al (1976), this type of
15
research provides an accurate portrayal or account of characteristics of particular
individual, situation or group.
Sampling Design
Random sampling was done to determine the respondents of the study. This is the
process of selecting a portion of the population to represent the entire population. Each
element in the population has an equal, independent chance of being selected. Hence, the
researchers have conducted the study to the residents in the dormitories in CMU with a
target population of more or less 150 people, getting 30 respondents from 5 dormitories.
Instrumentation
First and foremost, informed consents were obtained from the respondents.
Informed consent means that participants have adequate information regarding the
research, are capable of comprehending the information, and have the power of free
choice, enabling them to consent to or decline participation voluntarily.
Data will be gathered with the use of the structured questionnaire to deduce the
information related to the objectives and useful to the study. The questionnaire will be
mostly based on the variables namely: recreational activities and health condition.
Health condition of the respondents will be measured and analyzed using
Gordon’s Health Pattern Framework (Gordon FHPF); which provides a framework of 11
functional health patterns. The collection of data will purely depend on the respondent’s
answers on the questionnaires.
16

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter presents the analysis, presentation and interpretation of the data gathered:
Profile in Terms of Dormitory
As shown in Table 1, 20% of the respondents are taken from Rose Residence Hall, 20%
from Mahogany Residence Hall, 20% from Gardenia Residence Hall, 20% from Lawaan
Student Village, and 20% from Cattleya Residence Hall.

Table 2 shows the Demographic Profile of Respondents by Gender which shows 60 or
40% are male, came from two (2) different dormitories and 90 or 60% are female, came
from the three (3) different dormitories. This further means that females occupies
majority of the population in the university.

Table 3. Scaling is provided to identify the Health Pattern of the college students with 0-1
as Poor, 2-3 as Moderate and 4-5 as Excellent in Male perspective. The table above
shows that 23 out of the 60 total male respondents or 38.4 percent belong to the scoring
of 0-1 or rated as Poor with regards to their Health-Perception/ Health-Management. This
implies that the number of male respondents under this scale does not prioritize on
performing or practicing any Health-Management measures such as taking vitamins or
supplements and their regards to Health is at the lowest importance.
With the scoring from 2-3 rated as moderate, 34 out of the 60 male respondents are
involved which gathers a percentile of 56.7. This means that more than half the
respondents are moderately health conscious. Lastly, only 3 out of the 60 total male
respondents or 3 percent are on the score of 4-5 or Excellent in Health-Perception/Health-
Management.

Table 4. 8.3 percent of the sample male population or 5 in number is on the
scaling of Poor in their Nutritional and Metabolic pattern with a score of 0-1. They have
the least participation on promoting a well pattern allowing them to have increased risk
for any metabolic problems such as chewing difficulties.
With the range from 2-3 scoring or Moderate, there are 30 male respondents or 50
percent are moderately taking consideration with regards to their metabolic patterns such
as their diet. The other 41.6 percent or 25 male respondents belong to the Excellent
scaling with a score of 4-5 showing that these numbers of respondents are diet and
nutrition conscious.

Table 5. The table below show that from the score of 0-1 rated as Poor, only 3
respondents or 5 percent of them are under it out of the 60 total male dormitory
occupants. These male respondents are not into the practice of proper elimination pattern
or had been experiencing some excretory abnormalities. Out of the 60 total respondents,
25 male respondents or 41.6 percent are in the moderate scale which implies most of the
male respondents had a 2-3 range of answer as Yes. Lastly, 32 male respondents had
excellently having an ideal elimination pattern as having a 4-5 score in this pattern. Male
respondents under the 4-5 scale or excellent are able to perceive their normal excretory
function and other related data such as frequency of bowel movements, voiding pattern,
pain on urination, appearance of urine and stool.

respondents is poor in Sleep-Rest Pattern or had been deprived of the normal sleeping
pattern. The 51.7 percent or 31 out of 60 male respondents had a score of 2-3 scaled as
Moderate which implies that have the sample population are moderately having the
normal Sleep-Rest pattern and able to describe sleep, rest, and relaxation. The remaining
male respondents have a total of 30 percent or 18 all in all. This 30 percent are those
which are having the optimum Sleep-Rest Pattern base on the scale given.

The next row show that 21 of the male respondents or 35 percent are moderately having a
well cognitive or perceptual pattern. The majority of the respondents are under the scale
of 4-5 as excellent in Health pattern above with a total number of 35 or 58.4 percent. This
would mean that more than half the population is on a normal functioning in vision,
hearing, taste, touch, smell, pain perception and management, language, memory, and
decision making.

level of Health Status perception. This means that they consider themselves unhealthy
and unable to maintain a healthy status. 46 out of these 60 Male respondents considered
themselves moderate to have a moderate level of health status perception. It means that
they perceive themselves as performing fairly in these patterns and their health status is
acceptable. They may need to improve but they are very confident that they are healthy as
they are. 8 out of 60 male respondents considered themselves to have an excellent level
of health status perception.

Table 15. Scaling is provided to identify the Health Pattern of the college students
with 0-1 as Poor, 2-3 as Moderate and 4-5 as Excellent in Female perspective. Table 15
below shows that on the scoring of 0-1, 34.5 percent of the total sample population in
female or a total of 31 respondents out of the 90 belongs to the scaling as poor in health
perception or health management. This could be a result of lack in health teaching and
knowledge on the health practices such as exercise. Majority of the respondents belong to
the moderate scaling with a score of 2-3 which has a percentage of 58.9 or 53 total
respondents. The remaining female respondents, 8.8 percent or 6 out of 90, scored either
4 or 5 with a scaling of excellent. Under the excellent scale signifies that these
respondents are able to practice health routines based on their perception according to the
provided questionnaire.

Table 16. Table 16 below shows that on the scoring of 0-1, only 1.1 percent of the
total sample population in female or 1 respondent out of the 90 belong to the scaling as
poor in nutrition-metabolic pattern. These further mean that they don’t have a normal or
ideal pattern in their diet based on the questions involved. 42 out of 90 female
respondents scored 2-3 or 46.6 percent and regarded as Moderate in their perception the
nutrition and metabolic pattern. 52.3 percent or 47 female respondents is said to be
excellent in this health pattern that scored 4-5 based on the given questionnaire. They

gender of the students with the level of health status perception according to, Health
Perception-Health Management Pattern, Nutrition/Metabolic Pattern, Elimination Pattern,
Sleep-Rest Pattern, Cognitive-Perceptual Pattern, Self-Perception Pattern, Role-
Relationship Pattern and Activity-Exercise Pattern. Therefore, the null hypothesis is
accepted. However, there is a significant difference between the students’ gender and
health status perception according to the Sexuality-Reproductive Pattern, Coping/Stress
Tolerance Pattern and Value-Belief Pattern, thus, rejecting the null hypothesis. This
means that there is difference between the males and females with regards to their health
status according to these certain health patterns.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary, conclusions and recommendations based on
the significant findings of the study.
Summary
This study aimed to determine the perception of college students in
Central Mindanao University on their health status using the assessment model of
Gordon’s 11 Functional Health Patterns.
Specifically, the study aimed to determine the respondent’s profile in
terms of gender, the perception of college students on their health status and the
significant relationship between the respondents’ profile and their health status perception
The respondents of the study were the college students of Central
Mindanao University residing in the in-campus dormitories. 150 respondents were
chosen to participate in the study, 50 students from each dormitory.
Percentage, mean, standard deviation and one-way ANOVA formula were used in
analyzing the gathered data. The test of significance was set at 0.05 level of significance.
Findings
This section states the summary of the findings:
The overall health status of CMU male students is MODERATE, with 46 out of 60 or
76.67% out of 100% male students with scores flowing at 30 – 44. The average health
status perception of CMU female students is also MODERATE, with 77 out of 90 or
49
85.6%out of 100% female students with scores flowing at 30 – 44. The overall health
status perception of all CMU college students is on the MODERATE scale, with 123 out
of 150 respondents or 82% out of 100% with scores flowing at 30-44.
There is no significant relationship between the respondents’ gender and the health
status perception in terms of Health Management Pattern, Nutrition-Metabolic Pattern,
Elimination Pattern, Sleep-Rest Pattern, Cognitive-Perceptual Pattern, Self
Perception/Self Concept Pattern, Roles/Relationship Pattern, Activity and Exercise
Pattern.
There is a significant relationship between the respondents’ gender and the health
status perception in terms of Sexuality-Reproductive Pattern, Coping/Stress Tolerance
Pattern and Value-Belief Pattern.
Conclusions
The study came up with several conclusions based on the objectives of the study
resulting to these findings:
The level of perception of college students on their health status according to their
Health Perception and/Health Management Pattern is MODERATE for both genders.
The level of perception of college students on their health status according to
their Nutritional Pattern is MODERATE for males and EXCELLENT for females.
Elimination Pattern is EXCELLENT for males and MODERATE for females.
50
Sleep-Rest Pattern is MODERATE for both genders.
Cognitive-Perceptual Pattern is EXCELLENT for both genders.
Self-Perception/Self-Concept Pattern is EXCELLENT for both genders.
Role-Relationship Pattern is EXCELLENT for both genders.
Sexuality-Reproductive Pattern is EXCELLENT for males and MODERATE for
females.
Coping/ Stress Tolerance Pattern is EXCELLENT for both genders.
Activity-Exercise is EXCELLENT for both genders.
Value-Belief Pattern is MODERATE for males and EXCELLENT for females.
There is a significant relationship between the genders of the college students
staying at the University dormitories and perceptions on their Health Status in terms of
Sexuality-Reproductive Pattern. Therefore, gender plays a big role in determining how
51
the students perceive and whether the involved activities in this health pattern are
practiced.
The gender of the college students in Central Mindanao University staying at
dormitories and the 9th Gordon’s Functional Health Pattern which is Coping/Stress-
Tolerance Pattern has a significant relationship. This implies that adapting to certain
stressors varies mainly in every gender which would greatly affect their perception to this
pattern.
There is a significant relationship between the respondents profile especially
gender and Value/Belief Pattern. This further means that the variables would affect the
health status of the student depending on its stability.
Recommendations
Based on the conclusion of the study, the researchers would like to recommend the
following to the administrators of the University that further study could be made
possible to determine the proper action and management needed for the college students
to reach an optimum health and wellness. It is also important that a thorough health
assessment to college students should be done since it is basic to health promotion and
illness prevention. The students should also be given health teachings on lifestyle
modification and that regular physical activity should be encouraged to maintain their
healthy body and healthy minds. Even so, proper dissemination of information on
adequate diet should also be emphasized. Aside from that, appropriate teaching on sex
education should be given especially that most students are prone to such. It is also
important that the students should know where they should go or may seek emotional and
psychological counseling.
