The Relationship between Level of Awareness and Compliance Following LPU Cavite College of Nursing Decorum Guidelines

Decorum functions as an essential aspect of professional conduct, where compliance to moral and conduct standards is crucial. In University, applying decorum guidelines assures that students demonstrate professionalism, discipline, and respect, both in the classroom and during clinical practice. It has been observed that some students continue to disregard the decorum guidelines which is why this study would measure their level of awareness and level of compliance to see if there is a significant relationship between the two. This research relates to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, fostering values essential for sustainable development, such as professionalism, discipline, and respect. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between the level of awareness and the level of compliance among Level II, Level III, and Level IV BS nursing students regarding the proper adherence to CON decorum guidelines. This study utilized the descriptive quantitative approach combined with correlational research design, a non-experimental research. This was conducted in Lyceum of the Philippines University - Cavite. The results revealed that the majority of participants were female and second-year students. Students were both fully aware and fully compliant in terms of Time Management and Professional Decorum, but both moderately aware and moderately compliant in terms of Conduct and Behavior. The study revealed that gender found a significant relationship with awareness while Year level found no significant relationship with awareness. Gender found no significant relationship with compliance while Year level found a significant relationship with compliance. And there is a strong positive correlation between awareness and compliance.
