Abstract
It is undeniable that the COVID19 pandemic outbreak had a significant impact on the educational system and affected a number of industries. However, even before this crisis, parents' influences were a significant factor in how well students performed academically, and numerous studies have proven this. Moreover, the majority of these studies were done before the pandemic. The study aimed to determine whether there’s a correlation among the influences of the parents in different aspects on the nursing students’ knowledge-based academic performance during this time of crisis wherein the whole world is transitioning to the new normal mode of living. To evaluate the two variables' potential relationship using statistical analysis, the researchers chose to use a correlational quantitative study approach.The research was carried out at a university in Quezon City, with respondents from the College of Nursing. To divide the population of nursing students into strata, quota stratified sampling was employed; 360 students were determined to be key informants for the study and were separated into year levels; 90 students from each level were chosen.In conclusion, results showcased that there’s no significant differences between the parental influences and academic performance of nursing students during the transition point of COVID-19 pandemic as only one of the domains for the involvement of parents were shown to have a weak negative correlation. In order to obtain a much more accurate conclusion for this topic, the researchers advise future studies to use a larger population and include additional domains for the variables.
