THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
A healthy lifestyle is the foundation of a good life. It can improve the
quality of living, feeling physically better, and increase mental health as well.
Health is a universal trait; the World Health Organization defines health as
a “state of physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of
disease.”
Health contributes to the general well-being of an individual particularly the
lifestyle. Several task perform all day especially for those student who spend
usually in school. In order to enjoy the quality of life, good health must be
achieved because health determines what person can do.
A lot of privilege for a person to acquire good health. Several factor in
one’s health lifestyle can make healthy or unhealthy. The body needs the right
amount of nutrients in order to function properly. The food taken served as a fuel
that operates different body parts so the functioning of organs and tissues
depends upon the food received. It is important to realize the need to follow a
healthy lifestyle and understand the ways in which it can be achieved.
Nowadays, many youths particularly students didn’t notice their health.
Because of their eating habits they not aware of the quality and the nutrients
taken in their foods.

This study aims to explore the health consciousness level particularly the
hygiene, eating habits and dfluid consumption of Grade-12 Humanities and
Social Sciences in Trece Martires City Senior High School.
Background of the Study
According to the World Health Organization(WHO,2019) Health

Consciousness refers to the extent to which an individual tends to undertake
health actions. Moreover, healthy diet emphasizes regular intake of vegetables,
fruits, whole grains, root crops, fat free or low-fat milk, lean meats poultry, fish
egg, beans and nuts. It also low saturated fats, cholesterols, sodium and added
sugar.
A healthy diet encompasses a wide range of benefits with positive impact
on nutrition, overall health, economy as well as the environment. According to the
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO, 2019) of the United Nations, a healthy
diets include variety of foods from different food groups, meets the individual
needs for calories and nutrients, safe with no risk from toxins, bacteria, molds or
chemicals, enjoyable and culturally acceptable and available and sufficient each
day and all year round
According to American Marketing Association (AMA,2015), many
consumers still tend to over consume unhealthy foods because unhealthy eaters
expressed firm opinions that the less healthy were tastier. It is stated that the
tastiness of the food was the great factor that drove the decision making for both
healthy and unhealthy eaters.
Another most important in one’s health is the personal hygiene which the
researchers observe that students in the campus do not giving priority.
(Johnson,2019) stated that maintaining hygiene is necessary for many reasons;
personal, social, healthy, psychological or simply as way of life. Keeping a good
standard of hygiene helps to prevent the developmental and spread of infections,

illness and odors.
That’s why the goal of this study was to explore the health
consciousness of Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences primarily the
hygiene, food and fluid consumption in relation to the academic performance of
the students in TMCSHS. In this case, the school administrator will be aware
about the health consciousness of the selected student in the distinct strand that
the researchers were chosen.
Theoretical Framework
Health Lifestyle Theory Cockerham (2005), emphasizes the manner in
which structural variables such as class circumstances, age, gender and race/
ethnicity, collectives (social networks), and living conditions provide the social
context for socialization and experience that ultimately determined lifestyle
disposition and practices. On relation on this study healthy lifestyle are defined
as collective patterns of health. Related behavior base on eating and drinking
choices from options available to people according to their life chances. Health
lifestyle theory maintains that healthy lifestyle choices are not unconnected
random choices of individuals, but cluster in distinct patter based on class,
gender, and other structural variables.
Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework of the study presented below.

and Social Sciences students?
3. What is the academic performance of Grade-12 Humanities and Social
Sciences students?
4. Is there a significant relationship between health conscious and
academic performance of Grade-12 Humanities and Social Sciences
students?
Hypothesis
Ha. There is a relationship between health consciousness and academic

performance of Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences.
Ho. There is no relationship between health consciousness and academic
performance of Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences.
Scope and Delimitations of the Study
This study primarily concerned about the health consciousness and

academic performance of Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences students in
Trece Martires City Senior High School with regards of their personal hygiene,
food, and fluid consumption. And if there is a relationship between health
consciousness and academic performance. In this study, the physical activities,
weight and stress management are not tackled. This study limited the coverage
on both male and female Grade 12 senior high school in the strand of Humanities
and Social Sciences students. This study conducted since July 2019 and
accomplished in October 2019.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents the review of literature and studies which are
related to this study. The studies and literatures are read by the researchers to
enlighten the research findings.
According to Lai Yeung (2009), the eating attitudes and behaviors of junior
secondary students in Hong Kong private school, with specific focus on possible
gender differences.
The results of this study says that regardless of gender, less than half of
the sample ate breakfast every day, and their consumption of fruits and
vegetables was below recommended daily intakes. No significant difference was
observed between respondents eating habits and levels of food knowledge.
Female students were more weight conscious than male students.
It concluded that the school nutrition education in Hong Kong should be
designed to appeal to boys as well as girls and effective implementation of
nutrition education programs should inculcate healthful eating habits and sound
cooking skills and address the needs of students with reference to gender
differences. A more diversified approach could be employed through formal and
informal curricula, prioritizing cooking skills and food advertising literacy in the
curriculum.
Park et.al., (2010), studied on dietary habits and health consciousness of
high school students in Seoul. The Study examine the dietary behaviors with 510
high school student (260 males and 250 females) residing in Seoul. The body
mass index (BMI) of male and female students were 21.7 kg/m 2 and 20.1 kg/m
2, respectively, which were within the normal range. 41% of the male students
skipped breakfast once a week and 44.4% of the females do the same habit.
Meanwhile, about more than 40% of male and female skipped breakfast
frequently. The study reveals that the female students perceived significantly less
healthy and tatter than male students. Furthermore, body image satisfaction of
female students was lower than that of male. Only 22.7% of male students and
6.4% of female students exercised regularly and the intensity of exercise in the
male students were significantly higher than those of male students.
Al-Amari & Al-Khamees (2015), The Perception of College Students about
a Healthy Lifestyle and its Effect in their Health. This study examined the
perception of college students from Kuwait university about healthy lifestyle and
its effect on their health. The study shows that most college students do not care
about eating daily breakfast, their diet is not ideal, commonly consisting of cheap,
and quick meals, snacks, and soy drinks. All easy access to unhealthy foods on
campus, contribute to weight gain or emotional strain (Harris 2015). The results
of the study illustrate that the majority of college students conduct a moderate
healthy lifestyle, only (50.0%) eat a healthy diet, and (48.7%) suffer from iron
deficiency anemia (IDA), while (46.3%) get at least seven to nine hours of sleep,
(38.7%) suffer from increased body weight (obesity), and (34.0%) only exercise
frequently. The study shows that a high percentage, (75.8%) do not take blood
test, at least once every 6 months, and (74.0%) of the students, do not drink at
least two glasses of milk per day. Healthy nutritional choices are necessary for
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In his study, found a positive relationship between
eating breakfast and college student’s health. Structured eating patterns help
improve students’ academic performance. Also it was found that eating disorders,
such as anorexia and bulimia, are more prevalent among female college
students than among the general population, Schweitzer. Sleep is another major
aspect in a person’s health. College students have been found to be a population
that does not get enough sleep as the typical adult population. Sleep is a natural
state for human beings when they are tired. Students who were deprived of sleep
for 24 hours were complaining from headaches and they feel weak and tired.
Lack of sleeping results in a decrease of student’s ability to pay attention, and
negatively affects their ability to perform exams. Numerous studies have found
that insufficient sleep increases a person’s risk of developing serious medical
conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases insufficient
sleep has been linked to these and other health problems, and is considered an
important risk factor. Sleep deprivation affect college student’s health, and their
ability to concentrate.
Aliberti, S., et.al., (2015), believes that the status of blocked students was
significantly favorable compared to that health perception of the regular students
yielded worse results than of the blocked students. Anxiety and depression were
greater in regular students than blocked students.
It reveals that the result of conducted study supports their hypothesis of
the relationship between health, lifestyle, psychological factors and academic
performances: students with blocked had better health and lifestyle than regular
students. Their attitude to resilience emerged from the ability to overcome difficult
situations, but also from an attitude of arrogance despite being aware of the
ability to study successfully. Probably the blocked in the studies was due to low
self-esteem.
Bakayen, (2015), Structure and Content of the educational technology of
managing student’s healthy lifestyle. This Article presents the result of the
research the authors conducted to validate an educational technology of
managing student’s healthy life style during the pedagogical experiment there
was an increase in the indicators characterizing a level of the development of the
ability to monitors one’s health. The developed educational technology of
managing student’s healthy lifestyle was proven to highly effective.
Majabadi et.al., (2016), claimed that following factors that influenced their
major reasons for consuming fast-food:1) fast food is delicious; 2) fast- food
eateries and restaurants are easily accessible; 3) a greater variety of fast food
options than home cooked food options is available, providing people with
numerous choices; 4) the affordability of fast food and the fact that they are
readily available provide adolescent with a sense of Independence; 5) finally,

going out to eat fast food with friends is a way of entertainment, particularly for
adolescents.
Hagell (2017), explained that Eating patterns may suffer as students leave
home to live in temporary accommodation, particularly if they are not used to
providing for themselves details, however are hard to find. The Sodexo University
Lifestyle Survey 2014, Undertaken with a large UK - Wide on - line student panel,
reported that students do not always eat regular meals, with man skipping
breakfast for lunch and just over half of students reporting that financial
pressures had led to changes in their diet (Sodexo, 2014). A students eating
habits survey in 2015 undertaken by the National Student organization reported
that 30% of student occasionally go hungry instead of buying food, 22% say they
do not have a heathy diet because it is too expensive and 56% have found
buying fresh food a financial challenge (The National Student 2015).
Uwannah, et. al., (2018) the study about Eating Habit and the academic
performance of secondary school students in Ikenne, Orgun State. This study
was carried out to examine how eating habit affect the academic performance of
secondary school students in selected secondary school in Ilene, Ogun state,
Nigeria. Simple random technique was used to select 180 senior secondary
school students (SS2 and SS3) in five (5) secondary schools in Ilene, Ogune
state Nigeria. The study made use of a questionnaire tagged “Eating Habit
Scale” developed by the researcher. Academic performance was measured using
the first term scores of selected students in English language and mathematics.
The data collected were analyzed using the descriptive statistics method and the
linear regression and t-test analyses were employed to test the stated
hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings show that eating habit
significantly determined the academic performance of secondary school students
in Irene, likewise gender based on the findings it was recommended that
students should ensure the key take their breakfast before going to school and
that parents as well as the school should ensure the provision of healthy meals
for the students before the commencement of academic activities.
Abraham, et. al., (2018), examined the college students eating habit and
knowledge of nutritional requirements for health using the cross-sectional study,
with a descriptive design. Students may have proficient knowledge regarding
nutritional requirements. Transition to college life gives more freedom to choose
the type and amount of food they want to take. Most of the college campuses
have different dining facilities that provide a variety of food options, which can
lead to establishing either good or bad eating behaviors.
The study finds out that the students are knowledgeable that consuming
fast food, soda, and processed food are unhealthy and they contain additives.
They indicated strong agreement to keep themselves hydrated and choosing
food because of taste preference. Even though majority admitted eating fresh
fruits, a significant number consume processed food such as chips, cookies, and
cereal base on convenience. Smartphone resources, bending machine use, and
drinking soda where their least frequently used habits.
In conclusion, students have a fair knowledge of nutritional requirements
for health; however, food choices they make are not necessarily healthy.
Convenience and taste of food were priority.
Francesco (2019), analyzed the relationship between food, feeding
behavior and a healthy lifestyle with others conditions and habits, such as a
sedentary lifestyle, poor sports activity, stress and anxiety. again mentioned that
the analysis is a reflection of research carried out on a sample of university
students in some European universities, regarding their eating habits, their
lifestyles, habits of study, and propensity to physical inactivity. Such dimensions
often correlate with problematic food behaviors, with compulsive consumption of
foods and beverages, and the acquisition of uncritical eating patterns.
Synthesis
All related literatures tell about the eating lifestyle of the students primarily
in the college campuses and high school grades. Most of the findings reveals
rather than health preference, socio economic status is one of the factor that
affect the lifestyle and eating behaviors of an individual.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter represents a discussion of data collection process. Divided

into several section addressing the research design, sampling, and data
collection procedures.
RESEARCH DESIGN
This study employed quantitative correlational research design.
Quantitative type of research is a systematic empirical investigation of
observable phenomena via statistical, mathematical, or computational
techniques. On the other hand, correlational research refers to the type of
research that relates variable to another variable or a set of variables without
finding out the causal reasons and it is suitable for a large population that will
make the study more efficient for the researchers’ time and budget.
DATA COLLECTION
The researchers send a letter of approval to the school administration and
to approve by the principal to conduct data on Trece Martires City Senior High
School. To gather the data, researchers distributed the survey questionnaire to
the 186 Grade-12 Humanities and Social Science Students in Trece Martires City
Senior High School whereas the respondents possess the necessary information
to answer the information given. Survey questionnaires is easier to administer
while assuring the confidentiality and effective in providing the information in a
relatively brief time period at low cost to the researchers (Robsom,1993). They
are widely used as a key tool for conducting management research and
obtaining information about opinions, perceptions and attitudes.
SAMPLE AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUES

Convenience sampling method was employed in this study. The survey
instrument was directly administered to the respondents. The target respondents
of this study are all the students of Grade 12 Humanities and Social Science from
Trece Martires City Senior High School. A convenience sample of respondents
(N=186) was targeted. Each respondent was briefed about the survey to ensure
that the questionnaire was completed correctly. In this study the age bracket of
the participants is 16-21 years old. After obtaining the population, the researchers
got the sample size trough Slovin’s formula:
Wherein:
n = sample size
N = population
1 = constant
e = margin of error
n =?
N = 186
1 = constant
e = 0.05
INSTRUMENTATION
A structured questionnaire was used as the research instrument in the
survey. Durkheim (2014), stated that structured questionnaire is the primary
measuring instrument in survey research. The use of structured questionnaire
has close relationship with quantitative analysis. The use structured
questionnaires in social research was pioneered by Francis Galton and is very
common in the collection of data in quality of life research nowadays. In addition,
questionnaire collection method offers quick response from respondents, easy to
manage and well-structured enabling respondents to answer the questions within
defined alternatives.

DATA ANALYSIS
To analyze the data, the researchers using Microsoft Excel they make a
table to tally the data gathered from the respondents answered on the survey
questionnaire, and also using (IBM SPSS) or Statistical Packages for Social
Sciences they use the reliability test to make it reliable and to compute the
frequency, percentage and mean of every variable of the study. To know the
health consciousness and significance relationship between academic
performance of grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences they get the average
mean of the general average of grades of the respondents and they interpret
the data if the respondents are affecting their academic performance because
of their health.

SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The purpose of this study was to determine the level of health consciousness in
relation to the academic performance of grade 12 Humanities and social
sciences Student in Trece Martires City Senior High school. To accomplish that
goal, the researchers derived the following questions What is the demographic
profile of the respondents in terms of age and gender. What is the level of health
consciousness of the Grade-12 Humanities and Social Sciences students? What
is the academic performance of Grade-12 Humanities and Social Sciences
students? Is there a significant relationship between health conscious and
academic performance of Grade-12 Humanities and Social Sciences students?
On the other hand, the design employed was correlational quantitative
method. The researchers gathered the data using the self –made structured
survey questionnaire that was validated by the selected professional validators.
To ensure the reliability, we conduct pilot testing and use SPSS to get the
Cronbach’s Alpha. The research questionnaire was consisted of twenty-one
questions which has three categories and subdivided into equal parts: first seven
