the

data

gathered by the researchers which identified the degree of Time Management Skill among the Level IV BSN students of the University of Cebu – Banilad Campus. Two variables were identified by the researchers namely, age and gender. The two variables basically congregate the information that answers the respondents’ profile. The tool was categorized in accordance to each step of the management process namely, Planning, Organizing, Controlling and Evaluating. Each step contained specific time management skills that aided in the determination of the degree of skill. Each step contained specific time management skills that aided the determination of the degree of skill as perceived by the respondent. The two variables that determined the respondents profile were recorded and tallied. Circumspectly, the data gathered in the tool with respect to each step of time management process namely Planning, Organizing, Controlling and Evaluating was tallied and solved for the weighted mean of each step and was interpreted on a scale. The raw data were statistically treated using the Chi – square.

PROFILE OF THE RESPONDENTS Age Table 1 shows the profile of the respondents according to age. It shows that 116 or 38.8 % of the respondents are adolescents and 183 or 62.2% are young adults. As far as age is looked into as a variable in time management, according to Erik Erikson's stages of human development, a young adult is generally a person between the ages of 20 and 40, whereas an adolescent is a person between the ages of 13 and 19.

Gender Table 2 shows the number of males and females from among the 299 respondents that were randomly selected. It shows that 64% of the respondents are female and 36% are male. Historically, nursing has been thought of as a profession for women. However, nursing often is not thought of as a career of choice for men (Polifko, 2007). The traditional image of the nurse- that of angel, sex symbol, doctor’s handmaiden and, notably, woman (Jinks, 2004) is based upon female attributes and values entrenched by Florence Nightingale. This image has been reinforced by he mass media, which continues to perpetuate nursing as a “feminine” profession. Our public perceptions of nursing have been consolidated by societal attitudes and beliefs concerning which occupations are appropriate for men and women. Such traditional stereotypes preserve the cycle of bias, which in turn limits the role of men in nursing (Anthony, 2004).

on higher priorities; listing of new roles in work that indicates

different areas in which to invest time and energy; organizing and maintaining physical environment at home, school, and work; limiting activities to those that fit with my goals and daily agenda.

RELATIONSHIP OF AGE AND GENDER TO THE TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS OF THE RESPONDENTS

Table 8 shows the relationship of age to the degree of Time Management Skill of the Level IV BSN students as well as the relationship of gender to the degree of Time Management Skill of the Level IV BSN students. The data was statistically treated using the Chi – square. The table reveals that with a computed value of chi of 27.09

43

and tabled value of 55.76 at 0.05 level of significance, there is no significant relationship between the degree of Time Management skills of BSN Level 4 students and their Age. ITable 8 also shows that with a computed value of chi 6.87 and tabled value of 7.81 at 0.05 level of significance, there is no significant relationship between the degree of Time Management skills and Gender of BSN Level 4 students.
