Abstract: BIROG, JEANNE JENNETTE B., CASCABEL, ICELLE MARIE F., and CONSIGO, BENNY JHON R. “RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INCIDENCE OF MORBIDITY AND CHANGE IN SEASON AMONG RESIDENTS OF SELECTED AREAS IN CAVITE”. Undergraduate Research Problem. Bachelor of Science in Nursing, College of Nursing. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. March 2010. Adviser: Mrs. Nenita B. Panaligan. This study was conducted to describe and correlate the incidence of morbidity to the change in season among the residents of selected areas in Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to: determine the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age and gender; determine the disease/s commonly experienced by the residents of selected areas in Cavite; determine the occurrence of the specific case of disease/s or infirmity that the respondents experienced in terms of the month/s and the season/s that the disease/s occurred; determine the signs and symptoms experienced by the respondents during the presence of the disease/s and determine if there is any significant relationship between the incidence of morbidity and to the demographic profile of the respondents, as well as to the change in season. This study was conducted among the residents of selected areas in Cavite: Indang, Tanza and Trece Martires City. From these areas, a total of 300 respondents were selected, wherein 100 respondents were randomly taken from the selected areas in Cavite through convenience sampling. Results revealed that more respondents (42%) were in the age group of 20 and below and 50.7% were female. Results also showed that gender has no significance on the incidence of morbidity. However, results have shown that the respondent’s age had a significant relationship to the incidence of morbidity which includes Chicken Pox, Dengue Fever, Diarrhea, Hypertension, Influenza, Measles and Mumps. The change in season does not totally influence the occurrence of the morbidity cases identified within the selected areas in Cavite. Using Z-test, it was revealed that certain diseases are being affected by the change in season. This includes Bronchitis, which has a significant relationship during summer season; Chicken Pox, which has a significant relationship to summer and cold season, Dengue Fever which has a significant relationship during rainy season; Diarrhea, which has a significant relationship to all of the seasons; Hypertension, which has a significant relationship during rainy season; Influenza, which has a significant relationship during summer season and Mumps, which has a significant relationship to summer and cold season. Among the ten morbidity cases, those diseases with no significant relationship to a particular season include Measles, Pneumonia and Skin Disease. Hence, this may signify that the occurrence of these diseases may have a constant or an abrupt number of cases throughout the year.

BIROG, JEANNE JENNETTE B., CASCABEL, ICELLE MARIE F., and CONSIGO, BENNY JHON R. “RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INCIDENCE OF MORBIDITY AND CHANGE IN SEASON AMONG RESIDENTS OF SELECTED AREAS IN CAVITE”. Undergraduate Research Problem. Bachelor of Science in Nursing, College of Nursing. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. March 2010. Adviser: Mrs. Nenita B. Panaligan.

This study was conducted to describe and correlate the incidence of morbidity to the change in season among the residents of selected areas in Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to: determine the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age and gender; determine the disease/s commonly experienced by the residents of selected areas in Cavite; determine the occurrence of the specific case of disease/s or infirmity that the respondents experienced in terms of the month/s and the season/s that the disease/s occurred; determine the signs and symptoms experienced by the respondents during the presence of the disease/s and determine if there is any significant relationship between the incidence of morbidity and to the demographic profile of the respondents, as well as to the change in season.

This study was conducted among the residents of selected areas in Cavite: Indang, Tanza and Trece Martires City. From these areas, a total of 300 respondents were selected, wherein 100 respondents were randomly taken from the selected areas in Cavite through convenience sampling.

Results revealed that more respondents (42%) were in the age group of 20 and below and 50.7% were female. Results also showed that gender has no significance on the incidence of morbidity. However, results have shown that the respondent’s age had a significant relationship to the incidence of morbidity which includes Chicken Pox, Dengue Fever, Diarrhea, Hypertension, Influenza, Measles and Mumps.

The change in season does not totally influence the occurrence of the morbidity cases identified within the selected areas in Cavite. Using Z-test, it was revealed that certain diseases are being affected by the change in season. This includes Bronchitis, which has a significant relationship during summer season; Chicken Pox, which has a significant relationship to summer and cold season, Dengue Fever which has a significant relationship during rainy season; Diarrhea, which has a significant relationship to all of the seasons; Hypertension, which has a significant relationship during rainy season; Influenza, which has a significant relationship during summer season and Mumps, which has a significant relationship to summer and cold season. Among the ten morbidity cases, those diseases with no significant relationship to a particular season include Measles, Pneumonia and Skin Disease. Hence, this may signify that the occurrence of these diseases may have a constant or an abrupt number of cases throughout the year.
