This study aims to discover the different factors that motivate Boholano Nurses to work Abroad in terms of Economic Factors, Job-related Factors, Socio-political Environment Factors, and Personal/Family-related Factors based on the Push and Pull Theory of Motivation by Everett Lee. A descriptive quantitative approach utilizing a random sampling method was used, and the study was conducted in Bohol, Philippines, through an online platform Google Forms. Statistical treatment includes percentage, frequency, weighted mean, Spearman rank, correlation, and chi-square. A total of 36 BSN Graduates of the University of Bohol in the school year 2018 -2019, with a 95% confidence interval and a margin of error of 5%, a sample size of 33 is randomly selected.

Stress has an indeterminate response as a normal reaction to stressful events, to both external and internal body components, indicating both positive and negative reactions. Both positive and negative events can impact how people live their lives and how they manage stress emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Clinical teachers face a variety of stresses, particularly when the academe transitions to a new normal. This study aims to determine the stress management practices among clinical instructors at the University of Bohol. This research utilized a descriptive quantitative method. It included all 19 regular and contractual clinical instructors from the college of nursing of the University of Bohol. A self-constructed questionnaire was used to conduct the online survey, utilizing the google form for the respondents' responses. The questionnaire was of two parts; demographic profile and stress management practices categorized as spiritual, emotional, and social. The questionnaire was validated through pilot testing using Cronbach’s Alpha test to assess its reliability and obtained a more than accepted reliability result of 0.70. The study's findings indicated that clinical instructors are more inclined to spiritual activities such as talking to God and going to church as the best way to manage stress. It also showed that doing diversional activities and getting along with friends contribute to managing stress. The finding also revealed that the demographic profile does not influence the level of stress management practices. The study further concluded that clinical instructors utilize stress management practices and found it useful to maintain a strong, healthy workplace culture conducive to creativity and productivity.
Culture plays a very significant role in the way a woman perceives and prepares her birthing experience. This study aimed to determine the specific cultural perinatal practices and pregnancy outcomes among 30 Badjao women in Totolan, Dauis, Bohol. The respondents were Badjao mothers who had been pregnant and had given birth regardless of age and regardless of pregnancies. A purposive qualitative study was utilized, and data were gathered through group and key informant interviews. The study revealed that practices of the majority in the prenatal period still adhere to the traditional beliefs. It also revealed that majority in the intrapartal and postpartal period also practice traditional beliefs. Many of these beliefs were not beneficial to the health of the mother and the fetus and a growing infant. However, the study also revealed that there were acceptable ways being widely practiced by the Badjao mothers as well. The study further showed that despite the existing traditional practices, records had shown that there were very few instances of negative pregnancy outcomes. Still, the negative pregnancy outcomes are a cause for concern. It is prudent to say that women who are steeped in traditional cultural beliefs need supportive health educational services to increase their level of knowledge and enhance the recommended health practices.
