Abstract:

The study aimed to determine the levels of self-efficacy of student mothers in terms of emotional strain, time management, and financial condition to identify their coping mechanisms. The descriptive-correlational design was used in this study. The investigations were conducted at Notre Dame of Midsayap College on thirty-three (33) college student-mothers. A researcher-made questionnaire was used in data gathering. Frequency and percentage distribution, weighted mean and standard deviation, ANOVA, T-test and were used in treating the data. This study answered the following problems: (1) What is the socio-demographic profile of the respondents with regard to age, civil status, and income? (2) What is the level of self-efficacy in terms of emotional strain, time management, and financial condition? (3) What are the coping mechanisms of the student-mother? (4) Is there a significant difference in the levels of selfefficacy among student-mothers in terms of age, civil status, and family monthly income? (5) Is there a significant relationship among the levels of self-efficacy of student-mothers in terms of their demographic profile, and there was a significant relationship between the levels of self-efficacy and the coping mechanism of students? The study also revealed no significant difference between the demographic profile of the respondents and the levels of self-efficacy in student-mother, and there was a significant relationship between the levels of self-efficacy and the coping mechanism of a student-mother.
