ABSTRACT
This study determined the role of parents in promoting children’s health in
the Integrated School of Batangas State University. Specifically, this study
identified the profile of the parent-respondents in terms of age, sex, educational,
attainment, occupation, and family monthly income. It also looked into the way
the parents promote the health of the children in terms of choice and preparation
of foods, sleep, and physical activity and its significant relationship to the profile
of parent-respondents. As an output, an action plan was created to help and
improve the parents’ ways in promoting their children’s health.
The descriptive design was used by the researchers with the questionnaires
as the main data gathering instrument. This tool was given to the parents of the
children of the Integrated School of Batangas State University as respondents. In
order to interpret the data, the researchers used the weighted mean, frequency and
percentage and f-value test.
Findings revealed that majority of the parent-respondents are middle age,
high school graduates, housewives, and receive a family monthly income ranging
from Php 10,000.00 to Php 19,999.00. In the choice and preparation of foods,
parents always encourage their children to drink more water. Parents always make
sure their child was physically clean before going to bed. In the physical activity,
parents often find fun physical activity for their child. Parents’ ways to promote
children’s health had no significant relationship with their profiles. The most
common health problem of the children is fever.
AICS Lipa <STRAND> PRR1 SY 2022-2023
It is being recommended that the suggested action plan be utilized for the
promotion of the health of the children in the Integrated School of Batangas State
University. Another recommendation is to conduct similar studies with different
focal points like other schools, places, and benefactors to enhance and improve
the study that can be utilized to promote the health not just of children but also
other people.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
AICS Lipa <STRAND> PRR1 SY 2022-2023
This chapter reveals the research methods to be used by the researcher in
conducting the study, which include the research design, study subjects, data
gathering instrument, data gathering procedures, and appropriate statistical
treatment of data.
Research Design
Research is an important way to get new facts or additional information.
In this research, there are certain activities that must be performed. In this case,
methodology is necessarily needed to make the research easy to conduct or to be
effective. In this study, the researcher uses the descriptive method of research to
assess the role of the parents’ in promoting the children’s health in the Integrated
School of Batangas State University.
Descriptive research design is concerned with the present and attempts to
determine the status of the phenomenon under investigation. It is designed for the
investigator to gather information about present existing conditions. The principal
aims in employing this method are to describe the nature of a situation as it exists
at the time of the study and to explore the phenomena (Aquino, 2019).
Subjects of the Study
The subjects of the study were students from grade 12 enrolled in the
Asian institute of computer studies. The respondents were total of 50 sample
students randomly from the Grade 12 senior high school from its total population.
AICS Lipa <STRAND> PRR1 SY 2022-2023
This study used a simple random sampling technique which method used
to cull a smaller sample size from a larger population and use it to research and
generalize about the larger group. It is one of several methods statisticians and
researchers use to extract a sample from a larger population. Researchers generate
a simple random sample by obtaining an exhaustive list of a larger population and
then selecting, at random, a certain number of individuals to comprise the sample.
With a simple random sample, every member of the larger population has an
equal chance of being selected.
Table 1 shows the distribution of the parent-respondents in the Integrated
School of Batangas State University. The present study is conducted to determine
the role of parents in promoting the health of the children in Integrated School of
Batangas State University.
Grade Level Number of Respondents
Kinder 1 5
Kinder 2 5
Grade 1 5
Grade 2 6
Grade 3 5
Grade 4 8
Grade 5 6
Grade 6 5
Total 50
AICS Lipa <STRAND> PRR1 SY 2022-2023
It can be gleaned from the table above that Kinder 1 had 5 respondents
while Kinder 2 had 5 respondents. Grade 1 had 5 parent-respondents, Grade 2 had
6 respondents, and Grade 3 had 5 parent respondents. Moreover, Grade 4, 5, and 6
has 8, 6, and 5 parent-respondents. All in all, there are a total of 50 respondents in
answering the questionnaires about the role of parents in promoting children’s
health in Integrated School of Batangas State University.
C. Data gathering Instruments
The researcher-made questionnaire was utilized as the main tool in
gathering the needed data. It has three parts: first part was denoted to the
respondents’ profile in terms of age, sex, educational attainment, occupation, and
family monthly income. The second part is the parents’ promotion of health to
their children in terms of choice and preparation of food, sleep, and physical
activity and the third part is on the common health problems of the children.
Construction. The researchers gathered some references that are relevant to the
study from several books, theses and similar references. The questionnaire that
was be used is constructing by the researchers based on information from books,
thesis, internet, magazines, and observation.
The researchers prepared a preliminary draft of the questionnaire that was
presented to the adviser for item improvement.
Validation. The final draft of the questionnaire that was presented to the adviser
for content validation was submitted to the practitioners to establish the content
validity.
AICS Lipa <STRAND> PRR1 SY 2022-2023
Administration. The researchers asked permission from the head teacher of the
Integrated School through a letter noted by the adviser. After getting the
permission, the researchers approached the parents and asked them to answer the
questionnaire.
Retrieval. After the respondents have completed the questionnaire, the data will
be collected from the Google form and printed for scoring.
Scoring. To interpret the information, responses were rated using the following
assign points.
4 3.50 – 4.00 Always
3 2.50 – 3.49 Often
2 1.50-2.49 Seldom
1 1.00-1.49 Never
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers drafted a letter of request to the head teacher at the
Integrated School, asking for the permission to conduct this study. After getting
the approval of the head teacher, the copies of the questionnaire were distributed
personally to the parents.
Statistical Treatment of Data
The following statistical tools were utilized to treat and give meaning to
the data gathering.
AICS Lipa <STRAND> PRR1 SY 2022-2023
Weighted mean. This was used to determine the average mean of items in each
category and to know the respondents’ view on the variables of the study. It can
be more useful than a regular average because it offers more nuance. It reduces
the weight of data that is less important, allowing more material data to have a
more significant effect on the result. You can also use it to correct for deficiencies
in a dataset Robinhood (2022).
Frequency and percentage. These were used to quantify the demographic
variables of the respondents. They are especially useful when making
comparisons, but they are also useful when studying a difference compared.
CHAPTER IV
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
This chapter deals with the presentation analysis and interpretation of data
gathered from the questionnaire. Each set of data was analyzed and interpreted in
the context of the problem presented in the study.
1. Profile of the Parent-Respondents
The present study investigated the profile of the parent-respondents in
terms of age, sex, educational attainment, and family monthly income.
1.1 Profile of parent-respondents in terms of Age. The researchers saw
this as a significant part of the study to determine the roles of parents in
promoting children’s health regarding their sex. This helps the researchers to take
AICS Lipa <STRAND> PRR1 SY 2022-2023
into the consideration of the parent-respondents sex in giving light and depth to
the present undertaking. Table 3 demonstrates the profile of the parent-
respondents in terms of sex with its frequency and percentage.
Table 1
Profile of Parent-Respondents in terms of Age
Age Frequency Percentage
Below 36 years old 23 46%
36 – 55 years old 7 14%
Above 55 years old 20 40%
Total 50 100%
It can be seen from the table that majority of the parent-respondents are
female with 42 or 84 percent of the total population of respondents while 8 or 16
percent of the total population are male. It implies that females are more active in
taking part in the children’s promotion of health. It is supported by the concept of
Marc H. Bornstein (2018) which gave the significant relationship between the sex
of parents in promoting children’s health where female is more active in taking
part in the children’s promotion of health. Mother is good in parenting, and it is
really distinct for her. She provides the care for children where she is the one who
is responsible for the affection and basic needs of the child. The father is the one
who provides the financial of the whole family needs to support the necessity of
the children.
Basically, the mother really acts as the one who takes care of every
child by providing them the necessity that is important while growing up. This is
reflected into our society in which females are most babysitters that parents hire
AICS Lipa <STRAND> PRR1 SY 2022-2023
to take care of their children when they cannot do their role as parent. Mother as a
feminine is more suite in handling the child since they are more soft and patient
because parenting is really something that needs a lot of patience.
1.2 Profile of parent-respondents in terms of age. Becoming a
parent at any age has the challenges that may encounter and has their own
set of benefits. There’s a factor that is unique to each parent depending on
the situations and their background also plays a critical role as a parent.
Age of parents included to know how it affects the parents’ performance.
The researchers deemed this as a vital part of the study to determine the
roles of parents in promoting children’s health with regards to their age
range. Table 2 shows the profile of the parent- respondents in terms of age
with its frequency and percentage. This helps the researchers to consider
age in giving light and depth to the present undertaking.
Table 2
Profile of Parent-Respondents in terms of Age
Age Frequency Percentage
Below 36 years old 23 46%
36 – 55 years old 7 14%
Above 55 years old 20 40%
Total 50 100%
It can be seen from the table that majority of the parents are aged 36
to 55 years old with 23 or 46 percent on the overall response of the parent-
respondents. This implies that most parents in the Integrated School of
AICS Lipa <STRAND> PRR1 SY 2022-2023
Batangas State University are middle aged. Parent-respondents below 36
years old had 7 or 14 percent of the total response.
This implies that parents below 36 years old are nearing the
percentage of most parent-respondents regarding age. Moreover, 20 or forty
percent of the population are above 55 years old. This implies that there are
a few parent-respondents who are late adults. All in all, there are 220
parents-respondents of the study and majority of them were in their middle
adulthood. These ages obviously, gives more support in taking care of their
children. Parents respondent always bring food for their child instead of
giving money to buy their own food. This shows that parents at older gives
more importance on the health of their children and capable of providing
better way of parenting as supported by the concept of Kendra Cherry
(2018) popular wisdom always say that younger parents have more energy
to take care of their children on the other hand much older parents have
more experiences and resources that needs to take care of a child.
