The Researchers
ABSTRACT
The goal of the study was to reduce the risk of people

getting sick with measles. To achieve the goal, the
researchers gathered the perceptions of people in terms of
their level of awareness, confidence, and availability
towards measles and government programs designed to prevent
these diseases. In data gathering, the researchers made use
of a self-made, pilot tested questionnaire. In selecting the
respondents, the researchers opted to use convenience
sampling, selecting respondents who lived close to the home
of the researchers in Barangay Manga. For the statistical
treatment and analysis, percentage was used to quantify the
respondents’ profile on sex, age, occupational status,
number of children, and civil status. Weighted mean was used
to calculate the average perceptions of the respondents. To
test the null hypothesis, the researchers made use of a chi-
square test. The results showed that the respondents’
perceptions were Fully Aware, Highly Confident, and Most
Available. The chi-square test results stated that there was
a significant correlation and that the null hypothesis
needed to be rejected. Thus, to maintain the current
perceptions, the local government health units, NGOs, and
schools could heed the recommendations.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale
Our country grows and fosters new discoveries, the
people must be aware of the things happening around them,
especially the government who makes a lot of decisions for
the betterment of the country. Being aware means being
informed or knowledgeable enough that you can prevent
disasters from happening.
According to the monthly surveillance report published
by the Department of Health, epidemiology bureau, public
health surveillance division, there have been 36,915 cases
of measles in the Philippines between January to May of
2019; 1,849 of those cases are found in Region VII.
The report also showed that the most affected parts of
the population are the children aged 0 to 4 years old which
makes up 59% of the entire affected population. It also
stated that cases would be avoided if these subjects had
been vaccinated.
In an article by Nessia for Relief Web, in March of
2019, there were 70 confirmed cases of measles in Bohol.

2
With 737 total cases in Central Visayas, compared to the
number of measles cases confirmed last year there is a
1,317% increase in the same period.
Understanding the severity of the situation and by
keeping vigilance in our surroundings, we can help prevent
these kinds of disease. The researchers were motivated to
undertake this research study because the researchers wanted
their province to be healthy and to have a reduced number of
cases for measles and rubella.
The awareness of these immunization programs will
reduce the number of cases of measles in our province. Thus,
allowing the researchers to achieve their goal.
Literature Background
Lack of awareness of vaccination and of diseases has
been a main source of illness and even death in children and
adults. These deaths could have been prevented had people
been aware of the vaccination programs provided by the
government.
This study is anchored on the following concepts,
theories, and legal bases: Blatner’s Levels of
Awareness(2008), Freud’s Model of Personality Structure and
Levels of Awareness(1895), Pasteur’s Germ Theory of

s.1993, and Executive Order 237 s.2003 .
The main idea behind Blatner’s Levels of
Awareness(2008) is that people may operate on several levels
of consciousness at the same time. The levels of awareness
in Blanter’s theory are as follows: Open Expression(1),
Secrets(2), Self-deceptions(3), unconscious beliefs(4), and
things never considered(5).
The first level, open expression, refers to whatever
that tends to be expressed relatively freely in a given
situation. The person is able to admit these ideas clearly
to others as well as himself (Blatner, 2008).
Open expression simply focuses on the superficial level
or the most outward portion of a person expression of a
certain idea. A person is well aware of the information
present in this level of awareness.
Secrets, the second level, refers to what can be
admitted to oneself and perhaps confided to trusted friends
or one's psychotherapist. This is the category of secrets,
or opinions kept to oneself out of discretion. The key here
is that the person still is clearly aware of these thoughts
(Blatner, 2008).
5
The second level explains the facets of a persons mind
which he/she prefers to keep to himself/herself. The
information present in this level is still clear in a
person’s mind, just not openly/outwardly expressed.
Level 3, self-deceptions, involves those thoughts which
are only occasionally admitted to oneself; indeed, much of
the time such thoughts are actively avoided, denied, or even
countered by opposite thoughts. For example, a person might
say to himself, "Me, scared? Heck, no! I'll take 'em on
anytime. I'm ready for 'em. Ain't nobody gonna scare me!"
This is the "pre-conscious" level(Blatner, 2008).
Compared to the second level, self-deceptions refers to
the thoughts which were considered but rejected, or is in
the process of being accepted. To compare, Freud refers to
this level as the “pre-conscious”, a level where information
can be retrieved easily. These are simply memories which are
rejected because it is against the belief or image of the
person.
Level 4 involves those ideas which are not admitted to
oneself. This is what psychoanalysts call "the unconscious."
The ideas are so uncomfortable that they feel incompatible
with the person's sense of self. An interesting point is
that as people in therapy begin to develop more trust in the

6
therapist and more self confidence, some ideas or feelings
that were at level 4 begin to shift into level 3, and later
on, even into level 2. This is called "insight."(Blatner,
2008).
This level is present in much deeper parts of a
person’s consciousness than the previous ones. The thoughts
in this level are out of a person’s awareness but is still
found in their mind, simply out of reach. It is when a
person is more open or comfortable about these thoughts
present in this level will they appear in the more surface
levels.
Level 5 refers to those ideas which have not previously
been considered. It involves information which, rather than
being repressed, must be introduced from the outside.
Through meeting people with different beliefs, life styles,
modes of behavior, and ways of thinking, we discover that
the world is not like our families and cultures of
origin(Blatner, 2008).
The last level contains information which hasn’t been
encountered by a person yet. Compared to the previous
levels, this level contains information which is yet to be
known. The knowledge here still needs to undergo the

7
processes for it to either be a self-deception or an open
expression.
Freud theorized that an individual’s personality has
three components: id, ego, and superego. He also included
that these components operate in the mind across three
levels of awareness: the conscious, the preconscious, and
the unconscious.
Freud(1923) stated in “The Ego and the Id” that: “Being
conscious is in the first place a purely descriptive term,
resting on perception of the most immediate and certain. A
state of consciousness is characteristically very
transitory; an idea that is conscious now is no longer so a
moment later, although it can become so again under certain
conditions that are easily brought about.”
According to Freud’s model, the conscious consists of
what an individual is aware of at any particular moment in
time. It includes what you are thinking of about right now,
whether it is in front or in the back of your mind. If you
are aware of it, then it’s in your conscious mind.
Freud(1923) continues that: “The latent, which is
unconscious only descriptively, not in the dynamic sense, we
call preconscious; we restrict the term unconscious to the
dynamically unconscious repressed”.

8
The preconsciouscontains information that is just below
the surface of awareness. It can be retrieved with relative
ease and usually can be thought of as memory or
recollection(Widder in “Freud: History & Concepts”, 2008).
The Unconscious contains thoughts, memories, and
desires that are buried deep in ourselves, well below our
conscious awareness. Even though we are not aware of their
existence, they exert great influence on our behavior
(Widder in “Freud: History & Concepts”, 2008).
Pasteur(1878) stated that: ”… we then demonstrated that
the product of the last culture was capable of further
development and of acting in the animal tissues by producing
anthrax with all its symptoms.”
Despite the differences between anthrax and measles,
Pasteur emphasizes that microorganisms like these had a
connection with causing disease to patients who were
exposed.
The germ theory is a fundamental tenet of medicine that
states that microorganisms, which are too small to be seen
without the aid of a microscope, can invade the body and
cause certain diseases (Kusinitz, 2020).

9
R.A. 11223, otherwise known as the “Universal Health
Care Act”, aims to realize universal health care in the
Philippines and to ensure that all Filipinos are guaranteed
equitable access to quality and affordable health care goods
and services and to be protected against financial risk.
The Universal Health Care Act established a free health
insurance system that every Filipino is entitled to receive.
The act also established a system with benefits for people
who opt to contribute money to the system.
R.A. 10152, also known as “Mandatory Infants and
Children Health Immunization Act of 2011”, aims to enable
the government to take a proactive role in creating a
comprehensive, mandatory, and sustainable immunization
program/s for vaccine-preventable diseases for all infants
and children.
This act provides free vaccinations for toddlers and
children up to 5 years old. It offers vaccines for many
vaccine-preventable diseases including measles and rubella.
The act also mandates that information about the importance
of vaccination be given to pregnant mothers by healthcare
personnel handling prenatal care.
Proclamation No. 147 s. 1993 declared April 21 and May
19,1993 and every third Wednesday of January and February

10
thereafter for two years as “National Immunization Days”.
It had the goal of administering an oral vaccine to 9
million children, measles vaccines and other vaccines to 2
million children, and tetanus toxoids for 4 million women
aged 15-44.
Executive Order No. 237 s.2003 directed the conduct of
a national follow up measles campaign in February 2004. This
executive order provided free measles vaccines to all
children from the age of 6 months to 8 years old who lived
in the Philippines.
Abad and Safdar (2015) stated in “The Reemergence of
Measles” that: “Campaigns to increase awareness about the
disease itself are likewise paramount—early recognition of
measles by clinicians is key in making sure that appropriate
infection control procedures are followed to prevent disease
spread.”
Abad and Safdar emphasized that to prevent future
outbreaks and to prevent the re-establishment of measles as
an endemic disease, countries need to improve vaccine
advocacy.
Measles vaccine and vitamin A treatment are effective
interventions to prevent measles mortality in children
(Sudfield, et al., 2010).

11
Immunizations have been among the most successful of
preventive interventions. However, concern exists in the
United States that recent epidemics of vaccine-preventable
diseases and low rates of childhood immunizations may signal
the existence of major underlying problems in immunization
policy. Additionally, the effectiveness of national, state,
and local public health programs in administering these and
other preventive services to children has been called into
question. This article examines the current state of
childhood immunizations in this country and offers a broad
range of suggestions for policy modification (Freed, et
al.,1993).
Pickering, et al.(2009), stated that: “Immunization is
one of the most beneficial and cost-effective disease
prevention measures. Successes of immunization include
worldwide eradication of smallpox, control of poliomyelitis
with hopes of eradication, and elimination of indigenous
measles and rubella in the United States.”
Not only should people be aware of vaccinations for
measles, but a level of trust and confidence should be
instilled and maintained in people to allow themselves and
their children to be vaccinated. Thus, preventing mass
amounts of measles cases.

12
THE PROBLEM
Statement of the Problem
The main purpose of this study is to determine levels
of awareness and confidence of government sponsored measles
immunization program. Specifically, it aims to answer the
following queries:
1. What is the respondents’ profile on:
1.1 gender;
1.2 age;
1.3 occupational status;
1.4 number of children; and
1.5 civil status?
2. What is the respondents’ perceptions on the presence of
government sponsored Measles Immunization Program with
regards to:
2.1 levels of awareness;
2.2 confidence; and
2.3 availability?
3. Is there a significant relationship between the
respondents’ perception on government sponsored immunization

13
programs according to levels of awareness, confidence, and
availability?
4. What awareness program could be proposed based on the
findings of the study?
Statement of the Hypothesis
There is no significant relationship between the
respondents’ perception on government sponsored immunization
programs according to the levels of awareness, confidence,
and availability.
Significance of the Study
In as much of as the findings of the study may reveal
information and insights from the factual data and raw
materials obtained by the researchers, it is believed that
this piece of work should be valuable and important to the
following:
Families. The result of this study will help the
neighboring families be aware of the said immunization to be
protected from measles infection also by letting their
son/daughter go to the central site of immunization.

14
School. The result of this study will help the
institution be protected from the measles infection by
teaching the children, students, or even parents about
immunization programs and measles.
Government. The result of this study will help inform
the government about the scope of their project and the
availability of the supplies.
Future researchers. The findings of this study will
encourage the future researchers to find out more of what is
beyond to this study and let this study be a reference for
further improvements. They may find this information
relevant and valuable to their research.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Design
The researchers used the descriptive method in
gathering and collecting data through questionnaires as the
main tool. The said method was the most appropriate to use
that yielded the needed data of this study. Then such
information was subjected to careful analysis and
interpretation.
Environment and Respondents

15
Barangay Manga was where the researchers conducted the
data gathering. According to the 2015 National Census, Manga
has the fourth the greatest number of residents in
Tagbilaran City with 7224 residents.
The respondents were adults from 20 to 45 years old,
married, unmarried, or widowed, employed, and unemployed,
and male or female.

Instrument
In gathering the data, the researchers used a pilot
tested, self-made questionnaire. The questionnaire was
divided into 3 parts with 10 questions each.
The first part of the questionnaire was made to gather
the respondents’ level of awareness of government sponsored
immunization programs for measles and Rubella. There were 4
possible responses for each question: 1–Not Aware, 2–Less
Aware, 3-Aware, and 4–Fully aware.

16
The second part of the questionnaire was made to gather
the respondents’ confidence in government sponsored
immunization programs for measles and Rubella. There were 4
possible responses for each question: 1–Not Confident, 2–
Slightly Confident, 3–Confident, and 4–Highly Confident
The third part of the questionnaire was made to gather
the respondents’ perception on the availability of
government sponsored immunization programs for measles and
Rubella. There were 4 possible responses for each question:
1-Not Available, 2-Sometimes Available, 3-Available, and 4-
Most Available.
Data Gathering Procedure

Before the survey questionnaires were distributed to
the respondents, the researchers asked permission from the
mayor of Tagbilaran and the Barangay Captain of Manga to
conduct a survey through a formal letter to the Barangay
Captain Deogracias I. Dalida of Manga and to Mayor John
Geesnell L. Yap II of Tagbilaran city.
Upon approval, the researchers selected 400 respondents
through convenience sampling and proceeded to distribute
questionnaires house to house until the researchers reached
the desired amount of data.
Statistical Treatment

residents of Barangay Manga, Tagbilaran City. This chapter
was divided into 9 parts.
The first part shows respondents’ profile on gender.
The second part shows the respondents’ profile on age. The
third part shows the respondents’ profile on occupational
status. The fourth part shows the respondents’ profile on
their number of children. The fifth part shows the
respondents’ profile on civil status.
Part six shows respondents’ perceptions on awareness of
government immunization programs. Part seven shows the
respondents’ perceptions on confidence of government
immunization programs. Part eight shows the respondents’
perceptions on availability of government immunization
programs. Part nine shows the statistical result of the

20

gathering the researchers encountered more of older people
than young.
Figure 4. Respondent Profile on Occupational Status(N=400)

23
Figure 4 illustrates the respondents’ occupational
status. The data gathered tells us that 62.75% were employed
while 37.25% were unemployed. This was because the
researchers collected the data when it was time for working
people to go home.

immunization programs for measles.”, had the highest
weighted mean of 3.77 which meant fully aware. On the other
hand, item number 4, “I know the process to avail

program.”, had the lowest weighted mean of 3.49 which meant
Fully aware. There was a composite mean of 3.64 with the
descriptive interpretation of Fully Aware. This implied that
respondents already knew about the government’s immunization
programs beforehand.
Tannous, et al. (2014) concluded that:” High vaccine
uptake remains the key critical control point in achieving
herd immunity and eradicating measles in the longer term.
Increasing vaccination coverage is likely to be primarily
dependent on public acceptance of the vaccine; education and
maintenance of public awareness of the importance of measles
infection, in the context of innovative and established
interventions, are likely to be important drivers of this.”

Lydon, et al., (2017) stated that there continues to be
important challenges of ensuring a continuous availability
of essential vaccines. The global community, together with
countries, urgently need to design effective interventions
aimed at reducing the frequency and mitigating the impact of
stockouts.

Ozawa and Stack(2013) stated that: “While there

proper education and information about measles vaccines and
vaccines in general.
Chapter 3
SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter contains the summary of the results
presented in the previous chapter, as well as the findings
and conclusions that derived from the collected data.
Recommendations for actions as well as further studies are
also included in this chapter.
Summary
The main purpose of this study was to determine the
level of awareness, confidence and availability of
government sponsored immunization programs of the

31
respondents. The study made use of the descriptive method in
gathering and collecting data through a self-made and pilot
tested survey questionnaire as the main tool. This was
utilized for the 400 respondents from the district of Manga.
The data was quantified and statistically analyzed with
the use of percentage for the respondent profiles, weighted
mean for the perceptions on level of awareness, confidence,
and availability, and Chi-square test was used to test the
null hypothesis.
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the researchers opted to
select respondents through convenience sampling, selecting
400 respondents who lived close to the residence of the
researchers.
Findings
Based on the analysis of the data, the following
findings emerged which served as a basis for conclusions and
corresponding recommendations.
On the Profile of the Respondents:
On Gender. 23.75% percent of the respondents were males
and 76.25% of the respondents were females.
On Age. 28.5% were aged 41-45 while 10.25% were aged
26-30.
32
On Occupational status. 62.75% of the respondents were
employed and 37.25% of the respondents were unemployed.
On Number of Children. 43.25% of the respondents had 2
to 3 children while 0.75% had 8 to 9.
On Civil status. 75.25% of the respondents were married
while 1.25% of the respondents were separated.
On the Perception of the Respondents with regards to:
Levels of Awareness. Item 1, “I know that there are
government sponsored immunization programs for measles.”,
had the highest weighted mean of 3.77 meaning Fully Aware,
while item 4, “I know the process to avail vaccination at
the government sponsored immunization program.”, had the
lowest weighted mean with 3.49 meaning Fully Aware. There
was a composite mean of 3.64 meaning Fully Aware.
Confidence. Item 4, “I am confident that the expenses
for vaccination are less than non-sponsored vaccination.”,
had the highest weighted mean of 3.69 meaning highly
confident. On the other hand, item 5, “I am confident that
the vaccines are safe and effective with no side effects.”,
had the lowest weighted mean of 3.29 meaning highly
confident. There was a composite mean of 3.50 meaning Highly
Confident.
33
Availability. item 4, “I believe that the venue can
accommodate many people.”, had the highest weighted mean of
3.63 meaning most available. The lowest weighted mean was
item 9, “I have enough time in my personal schedule for a
vaccination appointment.”, with 3.4 meaning most available.
There was a composite mean of 3.54 meaning most available.
On the Relationship of the Respondents’ Perceptions Among
Level of Awareness, Confidence, and Availability.
There was a significant relationship among the
respondents’ perception on levels of awareness, confidence,
and availability resulting in the researchers rejecting the
null hypothesis.
Conclusions
Based on the data gathered of this study, the following
conclusions were drawn:
The respondents have full awareness, high confidence,
and believe in the availability of government sponsored
immunization programs regardless of their age, gender, civil
status, and occupational status. There is a significant
relationship among the perceptions of the respondents on
levels of awareness, confidence, and availability.
Recommendations.
34
Based on the findings, the following recommendations
were made:
1. The local government of the City of Tagbilaran may
organize symposiums or seminars on measles, Rubella,
the immunization programs available and the importance
of vaccination.
2. Healthcare workers may encourage people to avail the
immunization programs for themselves and their
children.
3. NGOs and hospitals may give hand-outs or brochures
containing information about the dangers of measles and
Rubella may be given to every household.
4. School administrators may collaborate with local
heath units to vaccinate students.
5. Further research may be done by the future
researchers.
35
A PROPOSED ACTION PLAN TO INCREASE AWARENESS ON MEASLES AND
RUBELLA AND GOVERNMENT SPONSORED IMMUNIZATION PROGRAMS
AGAINST MEASLES AND RUBELLA
Rationale
Measles is a highly contagious, serious disease caused
by a virus. Before the introduction of measles vaccine in
1963 and widespread vaccination, major epidemics occurred
approximately every 2–3 years and measles caused an

36
estimated 2.6 million deaths each year. (World Health
Organization, 2019)
In a 2020 article by the World Health Organization, the
number of measles cases has reached its highest since 1996.
This could be an early sign of a measles outbreak which is
very dangerous to unvaccinated children. Therefore, we need
to proactively minimize the danger these diseases pose to
the affected party.
OBJECTIVES
This program in line with the findings desires to
accomplish the following aims:
1. To raise awareness to everyone most especially to the
parents, children, and residents of that certain
barangay.
2. To inform citizens about the importance of vaccines
especially to children and toddlers.
3. To instill trust in people that the vaccines will not
have any side-effects
4. To reduce and hopefully eliminate the chance of an
outbreak of measles in our province.
Mechanics of Implementations
37
The researchers will present the program to the panel
of judges for the approval. After the approval, the
researchers will launch a social media campaign with
infographics regarding vaccines, measles, and Rubella.
Schedule of Implementation
The researchers shall launch when everything is ready
and approved to be posted.
Monitoring and Evaluation
The method of monitoring the success of the program
shall be determined by the size of the reach and the impact
social media campaign will gain.

disasters from happening.

According to the monthly surveillance report published

by the Department of Health, epidemiology bureau, public

health surveillance division, there have been 36,915 cases

of measles in the Philippines between January to May of

2019; 1,849 of those cases are found in Region VII.

The report also showed that the most affected parts of

the population are the children aged 0 to 4 years old which

makes up 59% of the entire affected population. It also

2019, there were 70 confirmed cases of measles in Bohol.

With 737 total cases in Central Visayas, compared to the

number of measles cases confirmed last year there is a

1,317% increase in the same period.

Understanding the severity of the situation and by

keeping vigilance in our surroundings, we can help prevent

these kinds of disease. The researchers were motivated to

undertake this research study because the researchers wanted

their province to be healthy and to have a reduced number of

cases for measles and rubella.
