Posted on 8th of Sep 2026 by UL Administrator
Research contributions from the University of Luzon College of Nursing and Midwifery faculty were presented at the Philippine International Nursing Summit (PINS) 2026, held on June 25, 2026, at National University – MOA. The summit brought together nursing researchers and professionals to present studies, exchange knowledge, and discuss developments in nursing practice and education.
Ms. Monie Claire Zabala received 3rd place in the Dr. Jed Montayre Research Poster Award – Professional Category. She presented “Effect of Acupressure on Blood Pressure Among Adults with Primary Hypertension: A Nursing-Focused Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” primarily authored by Dr. Jordan H. Llego and co-authored by Ms. Zabala and Ms. Kyla Mae Palazo.
Three other University of Luzon research abstracts were also accepted for the Research Poster – Professional Category. Dr. Jordan H. Llego served as the primary author of “Emotional Intelligence and Caring Behavior among Clinical Nurses: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis,” with Jane Marffy C. Llamas and Kristine Grace Bustillo as co-authors. He also served as the primary author of “Flood Resilience Education Theory: A Scoping Review of Climate-Driven Disasters and Nursing Student Resilience,” with Princess Erika Permison as co-author. Meanwhile, Jane Marffy C. Llamas was the primary author of “Lived Experiences of Student Nurses on Return Demonstration and Clinical Rotation in Maternal and Child Nursing.” The studies employed systematic review and meta-analysis, scoping review, and qualitative research methods.
The four studies address different areas of health and nursing, from blood pressure management and caring behavior to disaster preparedness and clinical learning experiences. Together, they reflect the research work of University of Luzon faculty in developing knowledge relevant to nursing practice and professional education.
Research in nursing can also support wider goals for people, learning, and collaboration. These efforts contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals particularly, SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being through studies that address human health and patient care; SDG 4: Quality Education through research that strengthens learning and professional skills in nursing; and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals through collaboration and knowledge sharing among researchers and healthcare professionals.
Through its faculty researchers, the University of Luzon continues to share research that can inform nursing education, practice, and healthcare.
