Abstract

This study examined the influence of social support and personal growth initiative on the life skills ability of caregiving students at Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. It aimed to determine the levels of social support, personal growth initiative, and life skills ability, and to assess the significant relationships among these variables. The study also identified which domains of social support and personal growth initiative significantly predicted life skills ability. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 134 caregiving students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using mean, Spearman’s rho, and multiple regression analysis. Findings revealed high levels of social support and life skills ability, and very high levels of personal growth initiative. Significant positive relationships were found between the independent variables social support and personal growth initiative and life skills ability. All domains of social support and personal growth initiative significantly predicted life skills ability. The results highlight the importance of strengthening support systems and promoting proactive personal development to enhance students’ life skills.
