Elementary School Clinic Management in Relation to Health Awareness of Learners

This study examined the extent of elementary school clinic management and its influence on the health awareness of learners in selected public elementary schools. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design involving 148 respondents. Data were gathered using a validated survey instrument and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Findings revealed that all domains of school clinic management—access to health care, timely response to health needs, health promotion and education initiatives, and health equity and inclusivity—were perceived to be extensively implemented. Similarly, learners demonstrated extensive health awareness, particularly in the areas of preventive health measures, health education participation, and engagement in health-related consultations. A strong and statistically significant relationship was found between school clinic management and learners’ health awareness (r = 0.795, p < .001). Regression analysis showed that the four clinic management domains collectively explained 66.6\usepackage{}\% of the variance in health awareness. Among these, timely response to health needs emerged as the strongest predictor, followed by health equity, inclusivity, and access to health care. However, health promotion and education initiatives did not significantly influence health awareness when analyzed alongside the other variables.
