On December 4, 2025 at CBE Function Hall of Father Saturnino Urios University, the 4th Nursing Research Congress brought together students, alumni, faculty, and esteemed health leaders for a full day of learning, collaboration, and research excellence. Anchored on the theme “𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙉𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘼𝙡𝙡,” this year’s congress highlighted the evolving role of nurses in addressing today’s complex global health landscape. With emerging infectious diseases, environmental challenges, and increasing community health needs, the event underscored how integrity, innovation, and collaboration must guide the future of the profession.

The day opened with an invocation, and national anthem, followed by an inspiring welcome message from 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗿. 𝗭𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗮 𝗗. 𝗔𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗮, the Vice President for Administrative and Student Affairs. Her words echoed the essence of the theme—reminding everyone that meaningful health outcomes start with ethical leadership and shared responsibility. 𝗠𝗿. 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗡. 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮, 𝗥𝗡, 𝗠𝗦𝗰 delivered a motivating message on behalf of Dr. Sadaila K. Raki-in of DOH-CHD Caraga, highlighting the important alignment of nursing research with national health priorities and the One Health approach.

Three plenary sessions set the intellectual tone of the event:

🔹 Plenary 1, delivered by 𝗗𝗿. 𝗘𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗗. 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗸𝗼 explored how telehealth and virtual practice are reshaping nursing care, "With better technology and policy formation, we can expect better health outcomes across the Philippines." He emphasized that nurses today serve at the digital frontlines, ensuring patient safety and continuity of care even beyond hospital walls.

🔹 Plenary 2, presented by 𝗠𝗿. 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗡. 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮, focused on the alarming One Health impact of plastic pollution. He highlighted the interconnectedness of environmental harm and human health, calling for stronger collaboration among communities, institutions, and policymakers as “What seems to be a very important innovation now can also be the demise of the entire nation [if its benefits and risks are not carefully weighed].”

🔹 Plenary 3, shared by 𝗗𝗿. 𝗝𝗼𝘆𝗰𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗻 𝗖. 𝗝𝘂𝗺𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗻, examined schistosomiasis through an integrated human-animal-environment lens. Her talk emphasized cross-sector partnerships as key to effective disease control and sustainable community health, “We have to really realize that nurses and clinicians are central actors in [achieving] One Health for All”.

Participants also engaged in two sets of parallel sessions, featuring outstanding studies from nursing students and professionals. These sessions showcased research on dengue prevention, disaster readiness, HPV vaccination, adolescent mothers, domestic water safety, intergenerational nursing dynamics, nurse turnover, leadership development, MDR-TB treatment strategies, work-life balance, monkeypox awareness, plant-based antifungal properties, and diabetes management. Facilitated by Nursing Program’s alumni and faculty, each session fostered meaningful dialogue and highlighted the depth and diversity of nursing research happening in Butuan City.

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐊𝐚𝐲𝐞 𝐀. 𝐁𝐚ñ𝐞𝐳, a 3rd year nursing student from FSUU, stated that “The 4th Nursing Research Congress is an event I have truly looked forward to, especially after attending last year’s congress. Listening to our seniors present their studies and respond to research questions was both inspiring and insightful. Their work gave me a clearer perspective on how I might approach my own research, now that I am a 3rd-year nursing student. This event has also broadened my understanding of various health issues, not only in Butuan but within the wider Philippine context.” From another participant’s experience — 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐒. 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞 shared that “It was an honorable opportunity, not only to gain insights but also to learn what it truly means to be a researcher. As Dr. Estioko emphasized, becoming a researcher does not require exceptional intellect, rather genuine enthusiasm and willingness to learn.”

Throughout the congress, one message stood clear: nursing is transformative when guided by integrity and strengthened by collaboration. The One Health perspective—recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health—served as the backbone of discussions, reminding participants that the future of healthcare depends on shared responsibility and holistic solutions that highlights the importance of accountability and unity.

The program concluded with closing remarks from 𝑫𝒓. 𝑻𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐 𝑩. 𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒈 𝑱𝒓., the Dean of the Nursing Program, who emphasized the vital role of research in shaping compassionate, ethical, and sustainable nursing practice. Certificates of appreciation were awarded to speakers, presenters, facilitators, and supporters who made the event successful and possible. Special recognition also goes to 𝑴𝒔. 𝑻𝒊𝒏𝒂 𝑱𝒐𝒚 𝑮. 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆, 𝑹𝑵, 𝑴𝑨𝑵, who served as the emcee and skillfully guided the day’s activities with warmth and professionalism.

The 4th Nursing Research Congress stands as a celebration of the nursing profession’s commitment to learning, service, and transformative action. It affirmed that nurses are not only caregivers—they are researchers, advocates, innovators, and leaders who continue to push forward the vision of 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐥𝐥. The success and importance of this event was highlighted by Dr. Estioko who emphasized that “𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆. 𝑰𝒕 𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔.
