Abstract:This descriptive-correlational study investigates the relationship between social support and technostress among 260 University of Northern Philippines faculty members, aiming to propose an action plan for the institution. Findings reveal a notable level of technostress experienced by UNP faculty, with factors like usefulness, reliability, presenteeism, and pace of change significantly impacting them, while complexity does not. Despite a moderately high level of perceived social support derived from family, friends, and significant others, there is no significant correlation between received social support and technostress dimensions. However, a weak negative relationship is observed between perceived social support and technostress. The study concludes that while The Safe Space Project addresses technostress, the dynamic technological workplace underscores the necessity for a dedicated University Psychologist. Such a professional can offer tailored guidance to faculty members, ensuring a comprehensive approach to mental health support in the digital age

Abstract:Play is essential to childhood development, fostering physical, emotional, cognitive, and social growth. However, the role of parents in facilitating and perceiving the developmental benefits of play remains underexplored. This study explored parents' perceptions of the role of play in their children's development, focusing on physical, emotional, cognitive, and social domains. Conducted from December 2021 to March 2022, the research utilized a descriptive-quantitative design and involved 50 parents of children aged 4–7 from Cabugao and Narvacan, Ilocos Sur. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed through frequency and percentage. Results revealed that children engaged in various play activities, such as chasing bubbles, imaginative role-play, and building blocks, which parents observed to enhance motor skills, emotional resilience, problem-solving abilities, and social interactions. Parents emphasized providing opportunities for unstructured, child-led play to support holistic development. The study recommends that educational institutions and healthcare professionals conduct workshops for parents and caregivers on the developmental benefits of play. Additionally, future research should explore children's direct experiences to validate and complement parental observations.
