Abstract

According to the Department of Health, diabetes is among the main causes of death among Filipinos. As a result, medical administrations must provide high-quality services. Patients, treatments, and particularly rural medical centers should all receive adequate screenings from the government. The goal of this study is to find out how satisfied diabetic patients are with the medical care they receive. Twenty-two (22) people with diabetes were included in the study. A survey will be utilized to gather information and data from a group of diabetic patients. The results show that: (1) there is no substantial difference in diabetic patients' satisfaction based on sex demographics; (2) there is no substantial difference in diabetic patients' satisfaction based on age demographics; (3) there is also no substantial difference in diabetic patients' satisfaction based on the establishment; and (4) there is a substantial difference between the patient's satisfaction and the medical services offered. When it comes to the score mean, diabetic patients' satisfactions are inside the extremely satisfied verbal description. The majority of the respondents were between the ages of 47 and 54. 12 females, 10 males, and 15 of them were in one medical establishment and the others were in the second. Despite their demographic differences, their satisfaction levels were quite close. Since there is a significant difference between the medical services dimension and the mean score of the overall medical structure and process is lower, there is a slight improvement for the medical establishments to focus on the medical structure and process, specifically the facilities, transportation convenience, and the length of waiting which the patients scored lower than the other parameters.

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the antibacterial effect of Calabash Leaf and Fruit Extracts on the preservation of lettuce affected with Escherichia coli. Additionally, this was done to assess the following: change in length of lesion on lettuce leaves depending on the effectiveness of the different concentrations of treatments; and significant difference of the extracts. The experimental research design was employed in which 2 set-ups were prepared by setting Calabash Leaf Extract and Calabash Fruit Extract. Each set-up has 3 treatments with different concentrations. The antibacterial activity of different concentrations of extracts was evaluated after 3 days of observation through interpreting the change in the size of the 1 mm purposively-made lesion on lettuce leaves. The investigations were focused on the damaged part measured. t-test results revealed that the t-value calculated was smaller than the critical value at a 5% level of significance, thus the difference is not significant. These findings revealed that the Calabash extracts equally possess a high antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli. The Calabash Leaf and Fruit Extracts can potentially be considered as an alternative tool to prevent plant-tissue deterioration and to prolong the shelf life of crops and vegetables.
