Abstract: SEDANO, ANGELYN B., and VILLENA, ANGELICA CASSANDRA P. Heath Adaptation Strategies among Young Adults of Selected Cities in the Province of Cavite: A Correlational Study. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Cavite State University. April 2016. Adviser: Prof. Karen Louella R. Rint, RN, MAN. The fact that climate change is a global phenomenon and a threat to human health inspired the pursuance of this study which aimed to determine the health adaptation strategies among young adults of selected cities in the province of Cavite. Specifically, it aimed to determine: the demographic profile Of the young adults in terms of age, sex, educational attainment, occupation, monthly family income; the climate changes experienced by the young adults in the last 5 years; the health —related effects experienced by the young adults; the health adaptation strategies practiced by young adults before, during, and after typhoon, flooding, and very hot weather condition; if there is a significant relationship between health adaptation strategies and (a) demographic profile, (b) climate change occurrence and (c) health related effects of climate change to young adults of selected cities in Cavite. The study was conducted among one hundred fifty (150) young adults with age 20 — 39 years old, five-year (5) resident of Bacoor City, Imus City, or Cavite City and experienced flooding. Data were collected through self —made questionnaires. Frequency distribution, percentage distribution, and Pearson r correlation was used specifically to answer or to identify the stated problems. Descriptive —correlational type of study was utilized to obtain, explain and determine the possible relationship of demographic profile and health —related effects of participants towards climate change, demographic profile and health adaptation strategies of participants towards climate change, and climate change experience and health adaptation strategies of the participants towards climate change. The study utilized cluster random sampling technique in identifying the place of study and purposive sampling technique to select the participant of the study. Three cities from the province of Cavite were chosen to be included in the study namely Cavite City, Bacoor City, and Imus City. Three barangays per cities were randomly selected using fishbowl technique. Using systemic sampling with replacement technique, 15 households per barangay in each city was chosen and served as participants of the study. The questionnaires were pretested to 10 individuals that passed the inclusion criteria in a pilot study done in General 'l'rias City, Cavite. The demographic profile of the participants reveals that majority of the participants are aged 20 to 24 years old, female, high school graduate, unemployed, and has an average income of 5, 001 — 10,000 pesos. The data reveals an inverse correlation between health adaptation strategies and health —related effects. This indicates that the experience of health-related effects is decreasing as the level of health adaptation strategies increases. The climate change occurrences and health adaptation strategies of the participants, before, during and after typhoon were significantly related. The data indicates that as the level of exposure of participants to climate change increases, their level of health adaptation strategy also increases before, during, and after typhoon incidence. Likewise, as their exposure to very hot weather condition increase, their level of health adaptation also increases to secure the health and wellness of participants As all the data have shown, there is no significant relationship between the health adaptation strategies and demographic profile. However, a significant relationship was observed between health adaptation strategies and (a) climate change occurrence and (b) health —related effects of climate change.

The fact that climate change is a global phenomenon and a threat to human health inspired the pursuance of this study which aimed to determine the health adaptation strategies among young adults of selected cities in the province of Cavite. Specifically, it aimed to determine: the demographic profile Of the young adults in terms of age, sex, educational attainment, occupation, monthly family income; the climate changes experienced by the young adults in the last 5 years; the health —related effects experienced by the young adults; the health adaptation strategies practiced by young adults before, during, and after typhoon, flooding, and very hot weather condition; if there is a significant relationship between health adaptation strategies and (a) demographic profile, (b) climate change occurrence and (c) health related effects of climate change to young adults of selected cities in Cavite.
The study was conducted among one hundred fifty (150) young adults with age 20 — 39 years old, five-year (5) resident of Bacoor City, Imus City, or Cavite City and experienced flooding. Data were collected through self —made questionnaires. Frequency distribution, percentage distribution, and Pearson r correlation was used specifically to answer or to identify the stated problems.
Descriptive —correlational type of study was utilized to obtain, explain and determine the possible relationship of demographic profile and health —related effects of
participants towards climate change, demographic profile and health adaptation strategies of participants towards climate change, and climate change experience and health adaptation strategies of the participants towards climate change. The study utilized cluster random sampling technique in identifying the place of study and purposive sampling technique to select the participant of the study.
Three cities from the province of Cavite were chosen to be included in the study namely Cavite City, Bacoor City, and Imus City.

The data reveals an inverse correlation between health adaptation strategies and health —related effects. This indicates that the experience of health-related effects is decreasing as the level of health adaptation strategies increases.
The climate change occurrences and health adaptation strategies of the participants, before, during and after typhoon were significantly related. The data indicates that as the level of exposure of participants to climate change increases, their level of health adaptation strategy also increases before, during, and after typhoon incidence.

As all the data have shown, there is no significant relationship between the health adaptation strategies and demographic profile. However, a significant relationship was observed between health adaptation strategies and (a) climate change occurrence and (b) health —related effects of climate change.
