The researchers used interview for data collection. Interview is a method of data collection in which an interviewer obtains responses from a subject in a face to face encounter. It is also stated that an interview is used to obtain factual data about people as well as to measure their opinions, attitudes, and beliefs about certain topics.

The type of interview used is a structured interview. A structured interview (also known as a standardized interview or a researcher-administered survey) is a quantitative research method commonly employed in survey research. The aim of this approach is to ensure that each interview is presented with exactly the same questions in the same order. This ensures that answers can be reliably aggregated and that comparisons can be made with confidence between sample subgroups or between different survey periods.(NEED edit) Structured interviews are a means of collecting data for a statistical survey. In this case, the data is collected by an interviewer rather than through a self-administered questionnaire. Interviewers read the questions exactly as they appear on the survey questionnaire. The choice of answers to the questions is often fixed (close-ended) in advance, though open-ended questions can also be included within a structured interview.

The questions are contained in an interview guide with a focus on the issues or topic areas to be covered by the researchers. In the present study, the students used a CST in order to keep the answers of the respondents in focus. The survey tool is structured wherein they ask the same question for every respondent. The students also used paraphernalia such as blood pressure apparatus, thermometer both of digital and axillary, weighing scale, tape measure, and wrist watch in order to obtain the data needed on the survey tool. The following are the uses of the paraphernalia used by the students: 1.Blood Pressure Apparatus used to obtain the blood pressure of each respondent. 2.Thermometer used to obtain the present temperature of each respondent. 3Weighing Scale used to measure the weight of each respondent in kilograms and pounds.

4. Tape measure used to measure the height of each respondent. Also it was used to measure the actual floor area of a certain room or vicinity. 5. Wrist Watch used to count the respiratory rate and pulse rate of the respondents in one full minute.

DATA COLLECTION PROCESS


First, we conducted an ocular visit in the area and used manila paper and pens to draw the spot map. The students along with their clinical instructor first made a courtesy call and informed each department through a letter regarding the CST that they will conduct. Then we were grouped into two major groups, wherein each group was subdivided into three. Each smaller group were assigned to different zones within the school. There are 6 zones made which covered the entire school. In each zone, there are different departments to be interviewed by the students. We used a structured interview to gather data with an aid of a CST.

Each respondent is to be interviewed and assessed by two students. The first student obtains the vital signs, weight, and height of the respondent while the other simultaneously asked about the demographic data, highest educational attainment, and position of the respondent in the respective department.

After the interview, the students collated the data obtained by all of the groups from each department. Data were tallied, tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted.
In the time of the interview, the students were in their complete white nursing uniform. They were professional in their attitude and attire in order to make the interview formal and credible.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Body weight is Body weight of a person is t the weight of the person without any items on. However, for all practical purposes, body weight is taken with clothes on but often without the shoes and heavy accessories like mobile phones and wallets. It is measured in kilograms throughout the world, although in some countries it is still measured in pounds. Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems. Overweight is generally defined as having more body fat than is optimally healthy. Being overweight is a common condition, especially where food supplies are plentiful and lifestyles are sedentary.

Underweight refers to a human who is considered to be under a healthy weight. "Underweight" means weighing less than what is expected to be a healthy person (underweight = insufficiency of weight). The definition is usually made with reference to the body mass index (BMI). A BMI of <18.5 is usually referred to as underweight. Interpretation: 57.1% or 104 of the employees in SPCF are considered within Normal Weight, 27.2% or 45 employees are considered overweight and 10.4% or 19 employees are considered obese and 7.6% or 14 employees were considered underweight

FIGURE1.

Analysis: Almost half OR 57 % of the total number of interviewed employees in SPCF are considered within the ideal or normal weight, that most of the employees in the institution are healthy. Few OR (are considered obese, this is primarily because of the unhealthy or sedentary lifestyle that they have. Others are overweight because they said when they are stressed from work or at home, they usually eat to relive their stress. Some people are underweight due to genetics. (FIXED)

Health Implications: Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, ..add According to.(used reference). particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food energy intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications or psychiatric illness. Evidence to support the view that some obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is limited; on average obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass. On the other hand, being underweight can sometimes be the result of mental or physical disease, such as hyperthyroidism, cancer, or tuberculosis. People with gastrointestinal or liver problems may be unable to absorb nutrients adequately. People with eating disorders are likely to become underweight. In women, being grossly underweight can result in amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), infertility and possible complications during pregnancy. It can also cause anemia and hair loss.

ANALYSIS: To some studies, the average height of Filipinos 53 and 411 for female. It is not common for us Filipinos to have a height of 6 and above because of our ancient ancestors who have a height of not exceeding 5. HEALTH IMPLICATION: Most intra-population variance of height is genetic. Short stature and tall stature are usually not a health concern. If the degree of deviation from normal is significant, hereditary short stature is known as familial short stature and tall stature is known as familial tall stature. Confirmation that exceptional height is normal for a respective person can be ascertained from comparing stature of family members and analyzing growth trends for abrupt changes, among others. There are, however, various diseases and disorders that cause growth abnormalities. Most notably, extreme height may be pathological, such as gigantism (very rare) a condition characterized by excessive growth and height significantly above average. In humans, this condition is caused by over-production of growth hormone. Hyperpituitarism and dwarfism .

Analysis: A diet high in fats is more likely to result in weight gain. Excessive fat intake is linked to elevated blood cholesterol level, a major cause of heart disease(The Home Health Handbook)

Health implication: Nicotine has a stimulating effect on the body, and smokers often have more difficulty falling asleep then non-smokers do. Smokers are usually easily aroused and often describe themselves as light sleepers. By refraining from smoking after the evening meal, the person usually sleeps better, moreover, many former smokers report that their sleeping patters improved once they stopped smoking

Figure 14: Percentage of Employees with Sedentary Lifestyle

Analysis: Living a sedentary lifestyle is not necessarily synonymous with laziness, since a person can be very busy with work and family but without inherent opportunities to exercise. Someone who works at a computer in an office, typically driving or riding in a motor vehicle to and from work, and coming home afterward to watch television or sit in front of a computer once more is likely to stay busy but still not find ways to remain physically active. This means it can be critically important for people who work in these types of careers to find other opportunities for exercise or physical activity. Health Implications: Numerous studies conducted by doctors and researchers have indicated a variety of negative impacts on a persons life due to living a sedentary lifestyle. Most common among them is increased weight gain and obesity and the accompanying health problems they can cause, such as heart disease, diabetes, and increased chances of certain types of cancer. Lack of exercise can also have a negative impact on a persons immune system, which can create the possibility for even more negative health consequences.

Blood Pressure Status

Hypertensive: Defined as a repeatedly elevated blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mmHg -- a systolic pressure above 140 with a diastolic pressure above 90.
Interpretation: There were 87.36 % or 159 persons that have normal BP. On the other hand, 12.63% or 23 persons were found hypertensive.

Figure 15: Percentage Distribution of All Personnels Blood Pressure Status in Systems Plus College Foundation 2011

Analysis: There are varied reasons why a person gets hypertensive. Overeating resulting in obesity is a very common cause. Factors like heredity and racial background also predispose a person to hypertension. People whose parents have a known history of hypertension are more likely to suffer high blood pressure themselves. Stress whether physical, social or that related to business is also a known factor in high blood pressure. Smokers may also amplify their vulnerability to hypertension. A smoker may temporarily increase his systolic blood pressure to five to ten times higher every time he smokes a single cigarette.

Health Implication: High blood pressure damages arterial walls, causing them to thicken (arteriosclerosis). When blood vessel linings become damaged, fatty deposits stick to them, clogging blood flow (atherosclerosis). The force of blood pressure over time may lead to an aneurysm, a ballooning of the arterial walls, which may rupture. High blood pressure on the arteries directly damages your heart. This leads to heart disease, heart enlargement and heart failure due to the increased exertion required. Chronic high blood pressure causes stroke, dementia and cognitive impairment. The pressure can damage or rupture blood vessels and cause blockages in the brain as it does in arteries. Again, the pressure damages the tiny blood vessels of the inner kidney, resulting in the kidneys' failure to process waste from blood.

Body Mass Index (BMI) A key index for relating a person's body weight to their height. The BMI is a person's weight in pounds (lbs) multiply by 705 divided by inches squared (in2). Overweight Is defined as a BMI of 25-29.9, according to Janet R. Weber. The term "overweight" is used in two different ways. In one sense it is a way of saying imprecisely that someone is heavy. The other sense of "overweight" is more precise and designates a state between normal weight and obesity. Obese Is defined as a BMI of 30 and above, according to the NIH. (A BMI of 30 is about 30 pounds overweight.) Underweight Refers to a human who is considered to be under a healthy weight. A BMI of under 18.5.

Interpretation: There were 57.1% or 104 persons who are in normal BMI, 27.2% or 45 persons who are overweight, 10.4% or 19 who are obese, and 7.6% or 14 persons who are underweight.

Analysis: The most common causes of obesity are overeating and physical inactivity. People often say that they don't have time to be physically active because of long work hours and time spent commuting. Health Implication: Obesity also increases the risk of developing a number of chronic diseases such as Insulin Resistance, Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes, High blood pressure (hypertension), Heart attack, and Cancer. Developing osteoporosis (brittle and weak bones) is very common in underweight people. The lack of calcium and vitamin D in one's diet leads to osteoporosis. Also, the immune system's ability is largely weakened due to malnutrition, leaving one's body at a high risk of being sick and not being able to fight it off properly. Anemia also is prevalent in people who are underweight, because insufficient iron causes fatigue, chest pain and the inability to breathe properly.

HEREDITARY ILLNESS Hereditary Illness refers to a disease or disorder that is inherited genetically. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) - is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Hypertension or high blood pressure - is a condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is chronically elevated.

Asthma -is a chronic (long-term) lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The coughing often occurs at night or early in the morning.
Heart disease, also called cardiovascular disease, mainly affects older people and means that there are problems with the heart and blood vessels.

Cancer -The name for diseases in which the body's cells become abnormal and divide without control. Cancer cells may invade nearby tissues. And they may spread through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body. Eye problem - Any abnormalities or unusual things that happen in any parts of the eye. These unusual things can be in color, shape, size, functions, sensations or position of the eye. Interpretation: There were 37.04% or 70 personnel who have a hereditary illness of diabetes mellitus. On the other hand we found out that there were 30.16% or 57 personnel who have a family history of hypertension, 12.69% or 24 personnel on asthma, 12.17% or 23 personnel on heart disease , 7.41% or 14 on cancer and 0.53% or 1 on other illnesses(eye problem .).

FIGURE 17:

Analysis: Hereditary illness are not manifested immediately it already on the blood stream of a person. Risk factor like sedentary lifestyle, smoking, drinking alcohol etc., are contributing factors that trigger a certain disease to manifest. Health Implication: A person who has hereditary illness like diabetes mellitus ,asthma , cancer and heart disease are at risk of having this diseases. If they have an unhealthy lifestyle like smoking, obese, lack of exercise and etc., he/she is in greater risk of having this disease.
