THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Background of the Study

Insufficient sleep in adolescents has been shown to be associated with a wide variety

of adverse outcomes, from poor mental and physical health to behavioral problems and

lower academic grades. However, most high school students do not get sufficient sleep.

Delaying school start times for adolescents has been proposed as a policy change to address

insufficient sleep in this population and potentially to improve students' academic

performance, reduce engagement in risk behaviors, and improve health. Anne G. Wheaton

et.al (2016)

Anticipated academic challenges or failure or even an awareness of the possibility of

academic failure. During the school years, academic stressors may show in any aspect of the

child’s environment: home, school, neighbourhood, or friendship. Kouzma and Kennedy

reported that school-related situations – such as tests, grades, studying, self-imposed need to

succeed, as well as that induced by others – are the main sources of stress for high school

students. The impact of academic stress is also far-reaching: high levels of academic stress

have led to poor outcomes in the areas of exercise, nutrition, substance use, and self-care.

Furthermore academic stress is a risk factor for psychopathology. Deb et.al (2015)

The context of existing theories on motivation and stress may vary from these for the

Filipino and Asian students' unconscious views on motivation, stress, and learning in

schools. Stress is anything that poses a challenge or a threat to the well-being of a person. It

can be experienced anywhere, either in-home or even in school. Students are mostly affected
by academic stress, as they are subjected to different kinds of stressors, such as the pressure

of academics and the obligation to succeed (Noson & Shastri, 2016).

In the Division of Davao del Norte, specifically at Zone two, New Corella District. The

students who had a poor perception of the perceived value of support were more prone to

have learning and development issues. Students are exposed to various social supports.

(Tomacruz, 2018). Students who do not have enough support from family members often

create school problems such as bullying other students and poor well-being or health

development (Blažević, 2016).

This study's main objective is to determine the relationship of stress and motivation

on students' academic performance. The study's findings could serve as a basis for program

development to assess how the school could alleviate stress, stimulate motivation, and

improve the students' academic performance.

Statement of the Problem

This study determined whether the mental health of senior high school students

behaviour has mediating effect on the relationship of academic performance. Specifically,

this sought to answer following questions:

1. What is the level of the students in terms

of their:

1.1 Impaired academic achievement;

1.2 Worse occupational preparedness;

1.3 Lower future occupational performance;

2. What is the level of academic performance

of the students?
3. Is there a significant relationship between the mental health of senior high school students

and their academic performance:

Hypothesis

The study tested the following hypothesis:

1. There is no significant relationship between the mental health of senior high school

students and their academic performance.

Theoritical and Conceptual Framework

Undergraduates experience sadness, anxiety, and distress symptoms more frequently than

their age-matched peers. Academic performance impairment, decreased vocational

readiness, and decreased future occupational performance are all linked to mental illness in

students. While research on interventions that promote mental health and prevent mental ill

health has shown encouraging short-term results, the persistence of intervention benefits

warrants closer consideration. We sought to find, evaluate, and summarize data from

randomized control trials (RCTs) examining whether the effects of interventions promoting

mental health and preventing mental ill health persisted at least three months after the

intervention, as well as to examine how the effects varied for various outcomes in relation to

follow-up duration. We also wanted to determine if the effect sustainability changed

depending on the type of intervention and study-level factors.

Figure 1 presents the conceptual framework of the study. There are three variables involved:

The independent variable the mental health with the following indicator impaired academic

achievement, worse professional preparedness, lower future occupational performance. The

dependent variable academic performance with grade as its indicator. For the mediator
mental health innovative behaviour consist of idea generation, idea promotion, and idea

realization.

Review of Related Literature

The following related literatures were discussions and findings of different studies

regarding mediating mental health of senior high school on the relationship between

academic performance.

Mental health. During the senior year of high school, when scholastic demands are

particularly high and homework is increasingly prioritized, sleep is likely to be under the

most stress. Both sleep patterns and attitudes toward academic accomplishment differ by

culture. Uncertainty exists over how successfully students from various cultural backgrounds

manage the competing demands of study and sleep, as well as any potential negative effects

on their mental health. Lushington (2015)

Impaired academic achievement. This study compared academic success among

sighted students comparative study of visually handicapped students at Polish

universities possible between-group variations in certain personality traits and their

effect on academic performance. Despite the lack of a main effect academic success

in terms of visual status, there were several.Significant psychological differences exist

between the visually sighted and impaired groups. Klinkosz, W., et al (2006)

This study sought to ascertain the impact of the flipped classroom technique

on the academic performance of blind and visually impaired students in the English

language. The study sample consisted of (18) blind and visually impaired students at

the Senses Center in the city of Irbid; (9) students for the experimental group studied

using the flipped classroom strategy via smart phones; and (9) students for the
control group, which studied using the traditional method. The results showed that

there were statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of

learning outcomes. Alkhawaldeh, M.et al (2021).

Certain groups of Australian Aboriginal children, who are also said to have low

academic achievements, have a persistently high prevalence of otitis media (OM) and

accompanying hearing loss. The general body of research on the subject of the

relationship between elementary school academic achievement and OM-related

hearing loss is still equivocal. This study aims to look into this correlation in

Aboriginal kids in Australia's Northern Territory (NT). Su, J. Y. et al (2020).

The attainment of age-appropriate speech perception and language

development in hearing-impaired children depends on early hearing detection and

intervention (EHDI). The effectiveness of newborn hearing screening (NHS) for

language development in children with hearing impairment has been thoroughly

researched in the fifteen years since its introduction in Japan. In addition, many

prelingual cochlear implant (CI) users in Japan have reached school age after more

than 20 years of CI usage, and the impact of CI on language development has also

been examined. Prelingual severe-to-profound hearing-impaired children with CI

were divided into subgroups based on age at first hearing aid (HA) use and whether

they received NHS in order to compare audiological/language test results and

demographic factors in order to identify prognostic factors for language

development. Sugaya, A., et al. (2015)

Interest in slow cognitive tempo (SCT) has increased. Among 218 students

with autism, 676 with ADHD (ages 6 to 16), and 549 primary school students (IQ

80), the association between SCT, IQ and achievement scores, and academic
disability assessments was examined. The Pediatric Behavior Scale was used by

mothers to evaluate their kids. Teachers also evaluated the kids in the sample with

autism and ADHD. Except for very small correlations with Processing Speed and a

timed math test, the correlations between SCT and IQ and achievement scores

(Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, Working Memory, Processing Speed,

reading, math, and written expression) in the overall autism/ADHD and elementary

school samples were all negative and nonsignificant. In contrast, there was a strong

correlation between mother and teacher academic and cognitive impairment

evaluations and SCT ratings. Mayes, S. D.et al (2022)

Worse academic preparedness. The COVID-19 crisis has resulted in persistent

and significant demands on medical services. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this study

examines the types, prevalence, and associated mental illness symptoms among Australian

front-line healthcare professionals. Methods: From August 27 to October 23, 2020, a

national cross-sectional online survey was performed. Frontline healthcare workers were

contacted via major health organizations, professional groups or institutions, universities,

government contacts, and national media to participate. Demographic information,

information about the home and workplace, and validated scales for anxiety, depression,

PTSD, and burnout were all gathered. Results: A total of 7846 healthcare professionals

(82.4%) provided complete replies. The majority of responders (80.9%) were female and

lived in Victoria, an Australian state (85.2%). Workplace modifications were frequently

made, with 48.5% reported changed hours, whether paid or unpaid, and many were

redeployed (16.8%) or changed jobs (27.3%). A decrease in household income was

experienced by nearly a third (30.8%) of households throughout the epidemic. Mental

disease symptoms were widespread, being present in 62.1% of subjects. The majority of

respondents (74.4%) felt that their companies provided good assistance, and 68.3% thought

that workplace communications were timely and helpful. Participants' chances of feeling
moderate to severe anxiety, sadness, burnout, and PTSD were about half as likely to occur

when they felt supported by their organization. A need for extra training in using personal

protective equipment and/or caring for COVID-19 patients was mentioned by 50.4% of

respondents. At health organizations, work disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic were

frequent, and they were linked to worse mental health outcomes in the health care industry

in Australia. Positive mental health effects were dramatically reduced when one felt well

supported. In the present and in the future, crisis preparedness that emphasizes the

provision of timely and beneficial communication and support is crucial. Smallwood, N., et

al (2021)

Due to the shift work patterns that fire departments frequently employ, firefighting is

a mentally and physically demanding career that is made even more difficult by sleep

deprivation. Firefighters are more likely than other occupations to suffer from cardiovascular

disease, mental illness, and musculoskeletal injuries. The aim of this study was to conduct a

systematic review of the impact of sleep on the health and occupational performance of

firefighters. Studies that examined the relationship between sleep quality and firefighters'

job performance were sought for. Relevant data were extracted, and the Newcastle-Ottawa

Scale was used to assess the study's quality. 15 publications with a total sample of 1591

firemen (52 women and 1539 men) met the criteria for inclusion. We discovered that firemen

with insufficient sleep had worse cognitive function and general health, but had greater

athletic skills. Frost, C., et al (2021)

Employees may experience negative consequences on their physical and mental

health due to job stress, which can be exacerbated during an emergency or pandemic. For the

healthcare systems and its staff, the intricacy of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)

pandemic is having a negative impact. This cross-sectional study focused on two distinct

groups of academic medical center staff members that are at risk of COVID-19 exposure due

to their jobs: Campus Safety Officers and Dentistry School Staff. We predicted that Campus
Safety Officers and Dentistry School staff who felt sufficiently prepared to handle COVID-19-

related tasks would not experience higher levels of stress during the pandemic than they had

previously. Between April and July 2020, we gave 148 employees a self-administered survey.

147 of the 148 administered questionnaires were returned. Banker, D., et al (2020)

In honor of their dedication during the COVID-19 pandemic, this piece is

dedicated to the WHO International Year of Health and Care Workers in 2021. The

goal of the project is to improve the health workforce's resilience, protection, and

overall readiness for a pandemic. We promote a health system-based approach and

present a mechanism for quick, in-depth evaluation that is based on integrated,

multi-level governance. In addition to information from Denmark, Germany,

Portugal, and Romania, we also consult secondary sources and expert opinions. The

findings show consistent trends across nations: improvements in physical safety,

digitization, and prioritizing of healthcare worker immunization have been made,

while social and mental health support programs have lagged behind or been

completely absent. In terms of occupational and organizational preparation,

developments were more varied: some ad hoc changes to the nature of labor routines

and tasks were observed across all nations, but Denmark had the best skill-mix

creativity and teamwork, while Portugal and Romania lagged behind. There are

significant governance gaps in the areas of surveillance, social and mental health

support programs, gender-specific challenges of health workforce capacity, and

integration of migrant healthcare professionals, among others (HCW). During global

public health emergencies, efforts need to be intensified and health systems need to

be held more responsible for meeting HCW needs. Kuhlmann, E., et al (2021).

Being primarily an agricultural nation, India's economy and subsequent

growth are entirely dependent on farming, making it the country's most popular
employment. It is bad for farm laborers' health to be exposed to such harsh weather,

especially during the summer (March–June). The majority of field work is done

manually, which exposes workers to direct heat, and there is a lack of understanding

among farm workers regarding the health risks as well as the lack of protective

measures. A considerable attention should be given to the health, ecological, and

workplace effects of manual farm work and heat exposure. The goal of the study was

to identify the adaptable strategies utilized by the farm employees. Kesarwani, K., et

al (2018)

Lower future occupational performance. Early-career burnout among

nurses can influence health and professional development, as well as quality of care.

However, the prospective occupational consequences of study burnout have not

previously been investigated in a national sample using a longitudinal design.

Rudman, A., & Gustavsson, J. P. (2012)

In order to conduct effective treatment, occupational therapy practitioners

who provide treatments for individuals with impaired vision must comprehend

difficulties with occupational performance from the perspective of the individual.

Understanding the self-described occupational practices of people with limited

eyesight was the aim of this study. Blaylock, S. E., et al (2015)

The goal of this study was to evaluate lower limb amputees' levels of

occupational performance (self-care and non-self-care) and satisfaction with various

assistive devices. This study is based on a survey of 35 people who utilized

wheelchairs, walking frames, axilla crutches, prosthetic limbs, and other assistive

equipment while carrying out main functional tasks. For an objective assessment of
the amputees' level, this study used a questionnaire from the Participation Survey-

Mobility Version 2 (PARTS-Mv2). The results demonstrate that younger age lower

limb amputees using various adaptive devices experienced substantial differences in

occupational performance role and satisfaction . Vetrayan, J., Abd Ghafar, N. B.,

Paulraj, S. J. P. V., & Murad, M. S. (2016)

Rating scales are a common tool used by occupational therapists to determine

a client's level of functioning, track their development, and assess the effectiveness of

interventions. Rating scales produce ordinal data, whereas interval level data is

necessary for real measurement. Rasch analysis may transform rating scale data into

real interval measures, but because raw data must be computer scored, its

applicability in routine occupational therapy practice is constrained. An alternative

to computer scoring is the keyform. The therapist can use this paper-and-pencil form

to enter ratings, convert them to interval measures, and perform easy quality control

on the data. This article demonstrates how to use this methodology with the second

version of the Occupational Performance History Interview (OPHI-II). The authors

go over the OPHI-II scales and explain the development. Kielhofner, G., et al (2005)

This study sought to ascertain whether 155 ethnically diverse clients with

traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke (cerebrovascular accident; CVA) who

received occupational therapy services felt they had attained self-identified goals

related to daily tasks as assessed by the Canadian Occupational Performance

Measure (COPM).According to this study, a client-centered occupational therapy

program resulted in a statistically and clinically significant change in self-perceived

performance and satisfaction with daily living chores (p.001). The TBI and CVA
groups did not perform or feel satisfied in significantly different ways. However, the

right CVA group was more satisfied with how they performed in daily tasks than the

left CVA group was (p =.03). Phipps, S., & Richardson, P. (2007)

Significance of the Study

The researcher believed that the results of the study as the basis for future action for to

be productive and provided better valuable information significant to the following:

Students. This research would help the students be aware in mental health and be

knowledgeable enough to share the information to others for them to be guided.

Teacher. This study contribute the teachers to directly engage and innovate teaching

strategy in accordance with the curriculum.

School Administration. This study would benefit particularly the

Principal/School head and academic coordinators in assuring that competencies are well

delivered by teachers. By this study, the school administration was able to monitor and

enhanced the teacher capacity as well as students’ performance.

DepEd Tagum City Division. This study would share the department to have

particular intervention of mathematical misconception, innovation on teaching strategy.

Through this study the department promoted the welfare of the teachers for better

education.

Future researchers. It would provide a guide to those who might have the same

interest in research. It also provided wider options of resources that they need to complete of
fulfill the research.

Definition of Terms

The following terms are here in defined conceptually and operationally to attain

common understanding.

Mental Health. This study defines mental health, Senior high school students'

mental health issues should receive a lot of attention from families, schools, and society as a

whole. They are not just caused by teenagers alone. In this study, it refers to concern that

likely to be manifested in classroom practices as well as through their involvement in the

school as a whole particularly, as Impaired academic achievement, Worse occupational

preparedness and Lower future occupational performance.

Impaired academic achievement. It is the obstacle for your academic

achievements that causes your impairment

Worse occupational preparedness. This is how will you not prepared on

the program that you chosen and the profession that you will have someday.

Lower future occupational performance. This is the performance that you

are getting low according to your performance that the work you will tread.

Students’ Academic Performance. Student’s Academic performance is the

specification of how a student perform their academic activities . Academic achievement has

long been one of the key objectives of school. Several things, such as family support and the

school climate, have an impact.

 Grade. It is the result of the average of the students based on his/her academic

performance.

Chapter 2

METHODS

This chapter presents the method of the study. This includes the research design,

research respondents, research instruments, data gathering procedure, statistical treatment

of data, and ethical considerations.

Research Design

This study utilized quantitative non-experimental design employing mediation

analysis which relies on the interpretation, observation or interactions to come to a

conclusion (Johnson, 2001). It is quantitative since the study examined the level of

independent and dependent variables, the Mental Health as its mediating variable in

Academic performance in Tagum City, Davao del Norte.

Mediation refers to those techniques examining three steps of relations between the

independent variable and dependent variable, between the independent variable and

mediating variable, and between mediating variable and dependent variable to identify how

the mediating variable are intervening in the relationships between independent variable

and dependent variable ( Koch, 2015)

Mediation analysis provides more complicated information regarding the influential

relation between independent and dependent variables using the mediating variable within

the equation. In this context, the mediating variable (also known as an intervening variable)
is defined as the variable that explains how the effects could occur by accounting for the

relations between the designated independent and dependent variables. In its statistical

formula, the total effect of the mediating model is the sum of the direct and mediated effects

and the statistical significance of the mediation model could be examined by the Sobel’s z-

test (Lim et. al 2012).

Moreover, the design mention above is suitable in this study. Since, senior high

school is the variable that could effect the relationship between Mental health and Academic

performance.

Research Respondents

The respondents of this study were the senior high school students in the selected

schools of Tagum City Division in school year 2022 – 2023. A simple random sampling

method was used in identifying the respondents of the study. Slovin’s formula was used in

determining the ideal sample size of the respondents. The selection of schools was based on

the category: smallest school, farthest school, nearest school, and biggest school.

Shown in Table 1, the total population and sample gathered from the four schools

according to smallest to biggest schools in Tagum City Division. Overall, the total population

of 139 and sample size of 130.

Research Instruments

This study made use of researcher-made questionnaires. There are one set of which

suit to evaluate the extent of mental health with the following indicators that corresponds to

the three significant variables.

The Mental health variable uses impaired academic achievement , worse occupational

preparedness and lower future occupational performance as the indicators. Each indicator

contains five (5) questions which makes the tool for mental health a total of fifteen (15)

questions.

For the Academic Performance. The researcher used the grade in first quarter of the

senior high school students.

To ensure the validity of the study, the questionnaire was checked first by the

researchers’ adviser and validated by the panel of experts. Then, sought approval from panel

through validation of the questionnaires prior to the distribution. To ensure reliability, the

questionnaire was tested through Cronbach alpha to analyze the consistency of the items in

the test. Result showed that r = 0.73 and r = 0.71 for mental health and academic

performance respectively. It was then administered to students in another school of the

Division of Tagum City.

In answering the questionnaires, the students were asked to tick their chosen

responses. For measuring the level of Mental health the researcher employed parameter

limits using the following descriptive equivalent and interpretation:

Parameter Descriptive Interpretation
Limits Equivalent

4.50 – 5.00 Very Highly This means that the

Extensive Mental health is
very much observed.

3.50 – 4.49 Highly This means that the

Extensive Mental health is

2.50 – 3.49 Moderately This means that the

Extensive Mental health is
observed.

1.50 – 2.49 Less Extensive This means that the

Mental health is
rarely observed.

1.00 – 1.49 Least Extensive This means that the

Mental health is
not observed.

Moreover, the dependent variable which is the first quarter grades of students

followed the following parameter limits which is being based on the Policy Guidelines on

Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program (Deped Oder No. 8 s. 2015),

to wit:
Parameter Descriptive Interpretation
Limits Equivalent

90 – 100 Outstanding This means that the

Academic performance is very
high

85 - 89 Very This means that the

Satisfactory Academic performance is high.

80 - 84 Satisfactory This means that the

Academic performance is average

75 – 79 Fairly This means that the

Satisfactory Academic performance is low

Below 75 Poor This means that the

Academic performance is very
low.
Data Gathering Procedure

The researcher undertook the following procedures in the gathering of the data

needed for the study.

Seeking Permission to Conduct the Study. The researcher asked permission

and sought approval from the Office of the Superintendent of the Department of Education,

Tagum City Division for the conduct of the study. Then, a copy of the approved letter was

given to the school principal for the guidance and proper dissemination. The researcher

coordinated with the school coordinator then to the class adviser. The respondents are

informed and signed consent for proper documentation.

Administration and Retrieval of Questionnaires. Upon the approval of the

Superintendent and the school principals of the selected schools in Tagum City Division, the

researcher distributed the questionnaires to the respondents. Questions from the

respondents were entertained and being instructed carefully to ensure honesty of the

answers. Retrieval of the questionnaires was done by the researcher after the respondents

thoroughly answered all the questions.

Checking, Collating, and Processing. Right after the retrieval of questionnaires,

the researcher checked, collated and tabulated all the responses given by the respondents.

Results were tabulated and submitted to the statistician in order to analyze statistically and

to answer the problems raised in the first chapter of this research.

Statistical Treatment

The following statistical tools were used in the computation as well as in the testing of

hypothesis at a 0.05 level of significance.

Mean. Was used to determine the level of mental health academic performance. It

was used to answer number 1, and 2 statement of the problem respectively.

Pearson – r. It was used to determine the significant relationship between mental

and academic performance. It was used to answer the third statement of the problem.

Ethical Consideration

To establish ethical consideration, this study adopted the Belmont Report, one of the

concerning ethics protecting subjects and participants in research studies. This consist of

beneficence, justice and respect for person.

The respondents of the study were the senior high school students of secondary

schools of Tagum City Division. Therefore, their safety and full protection must be ensured.

This is to preserve the trust they will be giving. The researcher followed the ethical standards

in conducting the study as stated in Belmont Report.

Beneficence treats a person with utmost respect for their decisions, protects and

make effort to secure their well-being. All research has both risk and benefits to make sure

they balance. Beneficence requires a commitment of minimizing the risk of the participants

rather than maximizing the benefits that are due to the (Creswell, 2007)

To establish beneficence, the researcher informed and assured the confidentiality and

anonymity of the respondents. They were treated with utmost care and protection.

Having the respondents signed the informed assent since they were minors together with the

informed consent from their parents or guardians. The researcher asked the convenient time
of the respondents and the place in answering the questionnaires conducive for testing and

free from any distractions. In this study, the researcher made sure that the respondents were

free from harm. The respondents were given 3-7 days in answering the questionnaires. Each

of them given were informed consent before conducting the study.

Justice. Fairness in distribution and equal treatment imposing the benefits of

participation. All classification (race, gender, ethnicity, age, etc.) should be equally subjected

to the risks and benefits of research and people should be included or excluded only for

reasons that have to do with research questions or hypothesis (Adams, 2018).

To establish justice, the respondents were entitled with respect and treated equally.

One benefit of the respondents was the potential to yield generalized knowledge about the

problem being studied and non-material compensation to respondents who may come in the

form of other benefits. In this study, the researcher made sure that the respondents were

benefited and treated equally. While, questions that were being asked were relevant to the

community and the respondents.

Respect for person requires individual to be protected and will be treated as

person with autonomy. The researcher treated the participants as autonomous individuals

that means they were independent, self-giving, capable of making decisions for themselves

as long as they were given sufficient information to make the decisions. This principle forms

the basis of informed consent (Creswell, 2007).

It is an obligation of the researcher not to exploit the weakness of the participants. To

establish respect for person, the researcher asked permission from the school administration

to conduct the study. There is no incentives or compensation given to the respondents,

considering that the study requires answering questionnaires and voluntary in nature, word

of gratitude were means of thanking the respondents in participating in the study.

Furthermore, the participation of respondents were voluntarily and no coercion.

In this study, the researcher ensured that the dignity and well-being of the

respondents were protected and the research data remained confidential throughout the

study. Furthermore, the respondents were informed about the result of the study.

Due to the shift work patterns that fire departments frequently employ,

firefighting is a mentally and physically demanding career that is made even more difficult

by sleep deprivation. Firefighters are more likely than other occupations to suffer from
cardiovascular disease, mental illness, and musculoskeletal injuries. The aim of this study
