    Vice engagement among young people is becoming a growing concern in many communities. This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence engagement in vices during an individual's academic year, ways to divert from vices, and the effects of vices on their well-being. Thirteen (13) respondents were interviewed face-to-face, and the researchers employed a qualitative phenomenological design. Thematic analysis revealed three themes on engagement in vices: Environmental Risk Factors, Consumed by Emotions, and Coping Mechanism. For factors that facilitate diversion from vices were identified as five themes: Self-realization, Divine Inspiration, Fellowship, Health Concerns, and Family. The study also investigated the perceived effects of vices on individuals' well-being, identifying four themes: Academic Struggles, Interpersonal Adjustments, Health Impairment, and Behavioral Changes. The study highlights the intricate interplay of social, emotional, and health factors involved in these behaviors and underscores the need to comprehend and address these factors for targeted interventions and support mechanisms.

    Psychological trauma is frequently linked to traumatic events, such as road accidents, which are prevalent and being responded to by police officers. This research contested to identify the specific road accidents that police officers respond to that impacted them, including their psychological traumas and coping mechanisms. Researchers used qualitative research design employing a phenomenological approach. The study's respondents included sixteen (16) police officers from the Municipalities of La Union. Findings showed vehicle collision as the specific type of road accident the police officers responded to. Police officers' psycho traumatic experiences had an impact on their actions, emotions, cognition, and physical health. In addition, police officers also used problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, social coping, religious coping by praying, and meaning-making through mind-setting as their strategies for addressing their psycho-traumatic experiences. Researchers also proposed programs to mitigate the psycho-traumatic impacts that police officers experience from responding to road accidents.

    Living alongside partners with illness is a struggle marked by hardships and difficulties that put the couple’s will and the caregiver-partner to the test. This study aimed to explore lived experiences of individuals living alongside their partners with an illness. The study used qualitative phenomenological research design to probe into the lives of couples living with their partners with an illness as they navigate their way in dealing with the illness and their relationship. Inclusion criteria were utilized to identify qualified respondents, and an open-ended interview guide was used to gather data. Through thematic analysis, results showed that couples faced financial strain from costly medications and adjustment struggles due to illness nuances. Compromise, isolation, and necessary changes were vital for relationship survival and individual well-being. Lastly, respondents took on added responsibilities to support their ill partners, enhancing intimacy as they bonded through shared struggles and developed a deeper affection.
