Undergraduate Thesis
Student must meet academic and clinical performance expectations; the primary objective of this study is to measure the relationship in clinical performance of the respondents on the aspects of level of practice and understanding to ensure can provide safe care. The main purpose of this study is to assess the correlation between the understanding and practice of the basic principles in bio-ethics of the respondents, specifically; the study aims to answer of the folllowing questions.(1.) To what /extend is the level of understanding of the respondents on the basic principles of bioethics?(2.) To what extent do the respondents practice the basic principles of bioethics?(3.) Is there a significant relationship between the level of understanding and practice on the principle of bioethics among the respondents? After undergoing several testing methods, the researchers came upon the answers for the entire question stated on the statement of the problem and these are the following as to the Level of practice of the respondents on the basic principle of bioethics in terms of Beneficence it revealed that out of 46 BSN IV students, answering three questions in this particular principle of ethics got an overall weighted mean of 2.51 showing that the respondents always practice this principle. In the question stated "I practice doing good based on the relationship between parties, such as nurse client relationship" got the highest mean of 2.67 with the answer always, in second with the question stated "I practice preventing or removing harm or promoting good to clients with the time of your duty" got 2.52 also with the answer always, and the last question "I find it difficult in understanding the basic principles of Beneficence, any action that benefits another" had the lowest mean of 2.30 with the answer seldom As to Non-maleficence, it revealed that out of 46 BSN IV students, answers three questions is about principle of ethics and got an overall weighted mean of 2.50 showing that the respondents practice this principle seldom. In the questions stated "I prescribe regimens for the good of your patients according to your ability and judgment and never do harm to anyone" got the highest mean of 2.57 with the answer always, in second with the question stated "I understand the Hippocratic oath "I will never uses treatment to injuries or wrong the sick" when it comes to implication of treatment for clients in the work area" got 2.50 with the answer seldom. Lastly with the question stated "As a student nurse, I help nurses in promoting, advocates for, and strives to protect the health and safety, and rights of patients during the times of your duties?" got the lowest mean of 2.47 with the answer seldom, As to Fidelity the result revealed that out of 46 BSN IV students, answers three questions is about principle of ethics and got an overall weighted mean of 2.36 showing that the respondents practice this principle seldom. In the questions stated "I understand Fidelity, in a concept of faithfulness and the practice of keeping promises and loyalty within the nurse-client relationship?"got the highest mean of 2.61 with the answer always, second question stated "During the duty in the clinical area, I keep promises to your patient?" got 2.24 with the answer seldom. The question stated" During your duty, I abandon my client or patient as in abruptly leaving without saying goodbye or informing the client that your duty time is over?" got an equal mean of 2.24 with the same answer, Seldom As to Veracityit revealed that out of 46 students, answers three questions is about principle of ethics and got an overall weighted mean of 2.54 showing that the respondents practice this principle always. In the question stated "In the clinical area, when it comes to charting significant data regarding your patient's medical condition, I practice "Truthfulness "in plotting gathered data?" got the highest mean of 2.65 with the answer always, in the question stated "1 Understand the basic principle of Veracity as knowing the right to a clear, truthful. and substantial explanation, in a manner and language understandable to the patient?" got 2.57 with the answer always and lastly with the question stated "I Oblige myself as student nurse to tell the truth based on respect for patient, and if the patient's ask about his her medical diagnosis explain that this question should be directed to the physician, who made the diagnosis." got the lowest mean of 2.41 with the answer seldom.

As to Autonomythe result revealed that out of 46 respondents, answers three questions is about principle of ethics got an overall weighted mean of 2.65 showing that the respondents practice this principle always. In the question stated "I understand Autonomy is derived from Greek meaning 'self-governing?"

As to Justicethe result revealed that out of 46 respondents, answers three questions is about principle of ethics got an overall weighted mean of 2.70 showing that the respondents practice this principle always. In all of the principle. in ethics, the principle of justice in ethics got the highest mean only shows that respondents always impart this principle of ethics in their clinical area.

Got the same mean with the same answer as well. Extent of the respondents understanding in the basic principles of bioethics in terms of: (1)Benificence, (2)Non-Maleficence, (3)Fidelity, (4)Veracity, (5)Confidentiality. (6)Autonomy, (7)Justice. Here the respondents, on the other hand, are graded according to the actual score they got in the 21 item test categorized by the 7 basic principles of ethics seen above. The result of the academic performance of the respondents revealed that out of 46 NCM 104 nursing students, 32 or 69.57% out of 46 respondents failed to pass the 21 item exam. About 12 or 26.06% out of 46 respondents manage to pass the exam, and only 2 respondents or 4.35% out of 46 are ranked average. The significant relationship between the level of understanding and practice on the basic principle of bioethics among the respondents isat 0.05 level of significance with the critical value of 0.90 revealed the R-value at 0.21319 showing the degree of relationship on the level of understanding as with the level of practice on the basic principle of bio-ethics of the respondents affirms low correlation between the two the correlation tells us how the two variables are related. If the correlation is positive, the two variables have a positive relationship as one increases, the other also increases. If the correlation is negative, the two variables have a negative relationship as one increase, the other decreases. In conclusion, the respondents' level of practice or the performance of the 46 NCM 104 nursing students in Olivarez College on imparting the basic principle of bioethics in rendering care is far more efficient with most of the principle done regularly during clinical performance, as evidence seen on Chapter III, tables 1-7; which can never or with low correlation to the respondents basic understanding of the principle of ethics revealing 32 out of 46 students failed, with 12 on the passing rate, and only 2 students manage to be on the average level as shown on Chapter III table 8. Meaning, that the level of understanding of student is inferior with the level of clinical practice of NCM 104 students in Olivarez College Conveying these figures reveals the significant difference of both rather than its correlation with one another.
