Abstract:

This study utilized the descriptive method of research. The researchers used the questionnaire checklist as the main data-gathering tool. It was supplemented by an informal interview and a record review to support the data gathered. To quantify and interpret the data, appropriate statistical tools were used, such as the percentage technique and weighted mean. The primary goal of this study is to assess birth center personnel’s adherence to the patients’ admission protocol in the 5th District of Camarines Sur, Philippines. Results of the study showed that the majority of the respondents are single, from 21–30 years old, on job order/contractual employment status, Roman Catholic, and college graduates. Further, data shows that birth center personnel are moderately compliant on the indicators under admission but are compliant on the indicators under active labor, fully dilated and effaced stage, postpartum and newborn care, and referral. In addition, there are some factors that greatly affect the compliance of birthing facility personnel with the admission protocol. The three most important factors that affect the compliance of birthing facility personnel on admission protocol are the financial stability of the patient, transportation resources, and the distance of the hospital from the birthing facility. And lastly, the proposed plan would help strengthen the compliance of the birthing facility personnel on admission protocol. The proposed plan was formulated taking into account the results of the compliance and factors affecting the compliance of birthing facility personnel on admission protocol.
