For items 38-43, refer to the sample of some sections of an Introduction of a Research Study in the box that
follows.

Background of the Study

In our society today, depression is becoming a pressing issue on childcare. Depression is a

common and serious medical illness that affects one’s feelings, thoughts, and actions negatively
(Parehk, R., 2017). It is an issue that changes the performance and even the outlook of a person to
others and to oneself. It causes major changes to how a person acts and treats him/herself. As
depression continues and thrives in a person, it may cause him/her to think differently, which may lead
to a lot of problems such as suicide or death.
Although depression is considered to be a mental health issue, it can also take its toll on the
physical aspect of one’s body. It can cause physical pain, fatigue, high blood pressure, and even
nausea (Schimelpfening, N., 2020). Proving that it is a serious issue that must be addressed. Not only
that, but this ailment also affects the people close to those who are suffering from depression.
According to Psychology Today, as time passes on the thoughts of the people around those that are
depressed feel negative thoughts. Not only that but they feel anxiety and worry towards their affected
loved one.
Even if there is no exact cause of depression, there are factors that may increase or worsen
the chance of this issue. One of the most common reasons may be about problems in the family,
abuse, death or a loss of a family member, poverty, and many others (Causes of Depression, n.d.).
Because of these, a lot of people especially teenagers suffer from depression. It may not be
noticeable, but people suffering from this problem tends to hide their true feeling or show that they are
happy but are sad and depressed in the inside. Depression can be avoided but if it worsens, it may be
hard for a person to get rid of it. Everyone can feel sadness, loneliness, and even hopelessness. But if
these feelings cannot be controlled and become overwhelming, it may cause physical symptoms
which can lead us astray from living a normal and active life.
Depression can be classified according to different stages. It can be classified as mild,
moderate, major or severe. For mild depression, it involves feeling blue temporarily or for a short time
and its symptoms usually affects the daily life of a person as it is noticeable from time to time;
moderate where it is just a level up from mild depression that can cause more symptoms and can
even cause problems for the person at home or at work and even affect your social life; and finally
severe or major depression wherein the symptoms are more life threatening and it really is noticeable
even from your loved ones or family (Signs and Symptoms of Mild, Moderate, and Severe Depression,
n.d.). People with major or severe depression is recommended to consult with a professional like a
doctor to avoid dangerous scenarios just like suicide. Also, once a person has this issue, it is
advisable to take action to avoid symptoms that may harm the person or even other people.
This pressing issue is considered to be the major cause of years lived with disability and by 2020
is expected to be among the two main causes of disability adjusted years together with ischemic heart
disease. The functional limitations caused by depression are equal to or even sometimes greater than
the ones endangered by many other chronic medical conditions (Beck, F., 2014). This means that
depression even in these modern times is still an ongoing issue that is at par with people who have
ischemic heart disease. This also says that there are a lot of people suffering from depression just like
the people who have ischemic heart disease.
According to PhilStar Global, the Department of Health (DOH) stated that in the Philippines, 3.3
million Filipinos suffer from depressive disorders with suicide rates in 2.5 males and 1.7 females per
100,000 Filipinos as of 2019. This evidence shows that males in the Philippines are more prone to
depressive disorders. Around 3.3 million people with depressive disorders in the Philippines is already
a huge number that cannot be unseen or unnoticed.
Region A has also started experiencing the effects of depression among its citizens. According
to the Global-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS) conducted last April 18, 2018, 16 in 100 students
in the region aged 16 - 17 years old seriously attempted suicide. Locally, majority of those affected are
females. The most common cause of this phenomena is due to extreme loneliness and depression. In
relation to this, suicide cases in one of the provinces of Region A rose in an alarming rate. Dr. Tubera,
medical officer of the province, said that it could be caused by the worsening depression among the
residents.
Province A is also experiencing its fair share of the rising problem. During a depression suicide
prevention campaign at the Municipal Hall last April 2018, 12% among adolescents suffer from
depressive disorders. To prevent any more cases in the province, a seminar workshop regarding
depression was conducted last August 23, 2019, to seventy-six class advisers of B National High
School (BNHS) to help in the management of depression and suicide among students, the common
victims.

Unfortunately, even the Grade 10 learners of a certain National High School are seemingly affected
with this depression. Interviews from government employees at the Provincial Capitol would claim that
there are Grade 10 learners from the National High School who are observed to be suffering from
depression.

Data Gathering Procedure

The questionnaire that was used for the study was based on the patient health
questionnaire on depression severity created by the Philippine Pediatric Society (PPS), Task Force on
Mental Health for Children and Youth.

The structure of the questionnaire is aimed for children and students since the approach of PPS is
more towards childcare, to those aged below 18 years old.
The researchers handed out a questionnaire to each Grade 10 learner. Attached to the
questionnaire was a letter informing the learners about the research objective and guidelines in
answering the questionnaire. The questionnaire contains the common signs of depression, with
columned boxes that helped in indicating its severity. The learners ticked the columned box
corresponding to their answer to a given problem.
Data Analysis
 In the questionnaire, each column had a corresponding score that were added and was
organized in a table. After which, relative frequency was computed, and mode was used to identify the
depression severity of majority of the learners. The following table was used for the organization and
interpretation of results.
45. Which of the following was utilized in gathering the data?
A. Grade 10 learners answered the patient health questionnaire on depression severity created
by the Philippine Pediatric Society (PPS), Task Force on Mental Health for Children and Youth.
B. Grade 10 learners answered the revised patient health questionnaire on depression severity
created by the Philippine Pediatric Society (PPS), Task Force on
Mental Health for Children and Youth
C. From numbers 1-10, the Grade 10 learners assessed their depression severity.
D. The Grade 10 learners listed reasons why they are depressed.

46. Which of the following descriptive measure was utilized to solve for the result?
A. mean and mode C. relative frequency and mode
B. median and relative frequency D. relative frequency and mean

For items 47-49, refer to the sample Results and Discussion in the box.
The table that follows summarizes the depression severity of the Grade 10 learners.

Total Score Frequency Percentage Depression Severity

1-4 10 19.23 minimal
5-9 15 28.85 mild
10-14 4 7.69 moderate
15-19 19 36.54 severe
20-27 4 7.69 severe
Total 52 100.00
The table shows that 19.23% of the learners are suffering from minimal depression, 28.85% from mild
depression, 7.69% from moderate depression, 36.54% from moderately severe depression and 7.69%
from severe depression.

Based on the results there are 51.92% of the Grade 10 learners who are suffering from at least
moderate depression. This result is alarming since according to dNet(n.d) when diagnosed with at
least moderate depression, he/she is advised to seek medical attention and take medicines to prevent
feeling depressed. If appropriate intervention is not made, learners suffering from moderate
depression can cause problems at home or at work and even affect their social life. While learners
suffering from moderately severe or severe depression are more life threatening (Signs and
Symptoms of Mild, Moderate, and Severe Depression, n.d.). People with major or severe depression
is recommended to consult with a professional like a doctor to avoid dangerous scenarios just like
suicide. Also, once a person has this issue, it is advisable to take action to avoid symptoms that may
harm the person or even other people.

There are numerous causes of depression. May it be family problems, abuse, or happenings from the
past, and even personality. However, a common cause is due to stress. The Filipinos may be known
for their avid happy faces and smiles, but the second most stressed-out country is the Philippines in
2018 (Cabico, G., April 26, 2019). Students also suffer from stress. According to Dy, M., et.al,
academics and workload turned out as top stressors of college.

D. Majority of the Grade 10 learners are not suffering from alarming type of depression.
49. From the results, which of the following could be a recommendation for the school?
A. Since no Grade 10 learner is suffering from depression, then the school would continue doing
their practices concerning students.
B. Since most of the Grade 10 leaners are suffering from mild depression, then the school can
introduce programs to prevent these from increasing their depression severity.
C. Since most of the Grade 10 learners are suffering from at least moderate depression severity
then the school should identify who are these learners and personally advise them to seek for
professional help. In addition, the school should introduce programs for the learners to lessen
their depression severity.
D. Since most of the Grade learners are suffering from severe depression severity then they
should be advised to stop going to school to have time to seek for professional help.
