INTRODUCTION
• It is very important to keep track with the students’ performances not just in
extracurricular area but most especially in academics, in order to make adjustments
and discover alternative techniques to help students come up with their low copings
and encourage them to strive more.
• Performance of students varies depending on the influences that surround them.
• Students are the most essential asset for any educational institute
• The students’ academic performance “ academic achievement “ plays an important
role in producing best quality graduates who will become great leader and man
power for the country so thus responsible for the country’s development .
• Having been in an institution which promotes honor and excellence among students
gave them a great challenge to maintain a good academic performance.
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
• The researchers identified the variables that contribute to academic excellence identified
as teachers, parents, peer groups and environment as variables contributing to students’
academic performance.
• The aim of this study is to help students improve their performances by identifying
perceived variables of the study.
• As stated by Hussain (2006), guidance is one of the factor through which a student can
improve his study attitudes and study habits and is directly proportional to academic
achievement.
• This study aims to contribute existing knowledge by documenting the factors associated
with the nursing students neither academic success nor failure and was able to know how
and why these factors changes students’ interests towards their educational priorities.
• In this research study, we used the Input, Process and Output model by Thomas Kuhn
which was known in the year 1962.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Specifically, the study will seek to answer the following inquiries:
1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

2.1 Student performance;
2.2 Parents;
2.3 Teachers; and
2.4 Peer groups;
3. What is academic performance of the respondents?
4. Is there a significant relationship between:
4.1 profile and influencing factor;
4.2 profile and academic performance;
4.3 Influencing factor and academic performance?
STATEMENT OF NULL HYPOTHESES
Ho1: There is no significant relationship between the Respondents’ profile and
academic performance, and Respondents Perceived Influenced of Academic
Performance.

 Future Researchers
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
• Garcia (2004) avers that individuals behave according to certain patterns of behavior
which are in conformity with their culture and that ordinarily, behavior shows regularity
and recurrence.
• According to Marquez (2009), pupils who are very successful in their desired career have
good study habits.
• Many school learners fail in their studies due to their inability to cope with the daily
obstacles and demands in school according to Villa (2009). Many factors are enumerated
to be the cause of such failures, but the most identified one and the worst is lack of study
among learners.
• Leano (2004) believed that the school should be the implementer of change and the
pupils are the agents and end-users of change.
• Tumangday (2000) described adolescent as a youth who love luxury. They have bad
manners, have contempt for authority, no respect for older people and talk nonsense
when they should work
• It is generally assumed that the students who showed better or higher performance in the
starting classes of their studies also performed better in future academic years at degree
level.
• Reddy and Talcott (2006) looks disagree with these assumptions that future academic
gains are resolute by preceding performance. In their research on the relationship
between previous academic performance and subsequent achievement at university level,
they found that students learning or studying at graduate level and the score secured did
not predict any academic achievement at university level.
• Durden and Ellis quoted Staffolani and Bratti, (2002) observed that “the measurement of
students previous educational outcomes are the most important indicators of students
future achievement, this refers that as the higher previous appearance, better the
student’s academic performance in future endeavors’.
• Pedrosa et.al (2006) in their study on social and educational background pointer out those
students who mostly come from deprived socio-economic and educational background
performed relatively better than others coming from higher socio-economic and
educational area. They named this phenomena educational elasticity.
• “Social and economic status of student is generally determined by combining parents’
qualification, occupation and income standard” (Jeynes, 2002).
• It is concluded that the type of schools in which students studies greatly influence the
educational performance and academic achievement of the students. Miller and Birch (2007)
summarized the views of many researcher and educationist in their study on the influence of
high school attended on university performance.
• Kwesiga (2002) approved that performance of the students is also influenced by the school in
which they studied but he also said that number of facilities a school offers usually determine
the quality of the school, which in turn affect the performance and accomplishment of its
students.
• The study of Osa-Edoh and Alutu (2012) which examined the usefulness of imbibing in the
students study habit, as a means of enhancing their academic performance, revealed a high
correlation between study habits and students’ academic performance.
• The study of Fazal (2012) identified various study skills used by learners and ascertain which
study skills is more related to academic achievement.
• Another study was conducted using a Q factor analysis to understand the study behavior and
habits of undergraduate students
• This paper reviews relevant literature on stress and its effects on nursing students. Grounded in
theory related to stress and human caring, the paper focuses on stressors in the clinical
environment including faculty-student relationships and offers strategies for mitigating stress
while fostering the success and professional socialization of future nurses ( Gibbons, Dempster,
and Moutray, 2009).

RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The following were the significant findings of the study:
1. There are no significant relationships between the profile and the influencing factors, profile and
academic performance, and influencing factor and academic performance.
2. With the average weighted mean presented in Chapter IV, it revealed that the results show that
the set of factors with the highest influence on the academic performance of student nurses are
the study habits with the highest mean. It is followed by home-related aspects and teachers
traits, both rated respectively as highly impactful. Conversely, the set of factors with low
impacts are personal conditions and school-related aspects and peer groups.

CONCLUSION
Based from the findings, it was concluded that there is no significant relationship between the
Respondents’ profile and academic performance, and Respondents Perceived Influenced of
Academic Performance..
CONCLUSION

BASED FROM THE FINDINGS, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE RESPONDENTS’ PROFILE AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE,
AND RESPONDENTS PERCEIVED INFLUENCED OF ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the summary and the limitation of this study, the researchers recommend the
following:
1. Students should study harder to improve performance when they get low grades; the
college will play an important role that they will be able to monitor the students in their
academic performances.
2. Students should do their assignment regularly;
3. The researcher suggests also that students may live nearby as it secondly affect their
attendance and performance and that teachers should have a mastery of the subject and
not to discuss many topics in a short period of time.
