V. Project Evaluation

5.1 Evaluation Criteria: Define the metrics and methods for assessing the project’s success
in achieving its goal and objectives
A survey will be administered to Grade 10 students before and after the seminar to
evaluate the effectiveness of the information shared. The evaluation will be obtained through the
use of a quantitative survey. A quantitative survey is a method that uses close-ended questions to
gather numerical data from a large number of people (Khandelwal, M., 2024). Surveys,
questionnaires, and other formal paper-and-pencil tools are used for gathering it. In this seminar,
it's not just about contributing new knowledge to the students but to also have them enjoy
themselves while they learn something new. Through these surveys, we can assess the success of
the seminars and determine whether we have achieved our goals.

5.2 Data Collection: Determine how data will be collected to measure progress and impact
Data will be collected by administering survey forms. To evaluate the seminar's
effectiveness, the team will administer both pre- and post-seminar questionnaires. Respondents
will answer questions using a Likert scale with the following options: Strongly Agree, Agree,
Neither/Nor Agree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree.

Pre-seminar questionnaires: (Answerable by Likert scale: Strongly Agree, Agree, Neither/Nor

Agree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree)
1. I am aware of the global health problem of antibiotic resistance.
2. I understand the factors contributing to antibiotic resistance.
3. I know how to prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant infections.
4. Pharmacists are healthcare professionals who play a crucial role in patient care.
5. I understand that pharmacists can help prevent medication errors.
6. I believe a pharmacy degree can lead to diverse and rewarding career opportunities.
7. I am aware of the different roles pharmacists can play in healthcare settings.
Post-seminar questionnaires: (Answerable by Likert scale: Strongly Agree, Agree, Neither/Nor
Agree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree)
1. I am aware of the global health problem of antibiotic resistance.
2. I understand the factors contributing to antibiotic resistance.
3. I know how to prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant infections.
4. I can explain the concept of antibiotic resistance to others.
5. Pharmacists are healthcare professionals who play a crucial role in patient care.
6. I understand that pharmacists can help prevent medication errors.
7. I believe a pharmacy degree can lead to diverse and rewarding career opportunities.
8. I am aware of the different roles pharmacists can play in healthcare settings.
9. The seminar has increased my interest in pursuing a career in pharmacy.
10. I understand the importance of patient counseling in medication therapy.

Open-ended Questionnaire:

1. What specific topics would you like to see covered in future seminars?
2. What aspects of the seminar did you find most valuable?
3. What suggestions do you have for improving future seminars?

5.3 Reporting: Outline how the project’s findings will be communicated to stakeholders
and to the community.
The project's findings will be disseminated through a multi-faceted approach, ensuring maximum
impact and engagement with stakeholders and the community.
Formal Reporting:
Comprehensive Final Report: A detailed final report will be prepared, encompassing the
project's design, implementation, evaluation, and outcomes. This report will provide a comprehensive
overview, including objectives, methodologies, key findings, recommendations, and lessons learned.
Informative Presentation: A formal presentation will be delivered to a wider audience,
including healthcare professionals, educators, and community leaders. This presentation will
highlight the project's impact, key findings, and recommendations, fostering discussion and
collaboration.
Community Engagement:
 Social Media Outreach: Leveraging the power of social media, we will share project updates,
key findings, and success stories on relevant platforms. This will enhance visibility and engage a
broader audience.

VI. Project Sustainability

6.1 Long-Term Impact:

The project aims to provide realistic information with consideration to the beneficiaries
and their economic standing. Knowledge in itself is something one can carry for a long time and
with this we are positive of the positive impact it may bring.
The aim of this project is to equip people, both parents and students alike, with
knowledge and hopefully influence their decision-making skills about home remedies and
alternatives to expensive medicine. This serves as a guide to avoid common medicine misuse or
abuse and self-medication that results in negative side effects such as immunization to certain
medicines. The project mainly focuses on ways to use the ten (10) common medicinal herbs that
have been approved by the Department of Health (DOH) and their side effects in the long run.
This project also aims to promote BS Pharmacy as a choice when they reach college, it
can give them a broad perspective on what to expect and hopefully inspire them to take on the
program as well. They'll be able to learn medicine and how it works in the human body and pass
on that knowledge to others and hopefully pay respect to the program and those who work in the
field of Pharmacy.

6.2 Future Plans: Outline potential strategies for continuing the project's work or
expanding its scope.
Our plan is to start with Junior High Schools, specifically grade 10 students as they are
going to plan out their next course in Senior High School where they can decide on the path they
wish to take in college.
Though this project aims to inspire indecisive highschoolers, this project can also be for
parents who struggle with what treatment they should use in times where medicine is not really
needed for the specific condition. Those who know about home remedies often save more by
growing the plants in their garden instead of making a trip to the pharmacy for example, for a
mild cough.
If successful, then this may also be shared to other Grade 10 students and their parents,
along with an expansion of knowledge like incorporating medicinal plants and healthy foods in
meal prep.
