This qualitative research explored night-shift nurses’ challenges and the implications for quality nursing care. The participants were 14 staff nurses from two different healthcare facilities in Iligan City. A strict ethical protocol was observed. Face-to-face indepth interview was employed. Verbatim transcription and translation of narratives were carried out in an iterative process. Three emergent themes were formulated: 1) Physiological, 2) Nursing Practice, and 3) Staffing. Workplace culture and climate pose leadership challenges toward safe quality nursing care. Keywords: Challenges, night-shift nurses, quality nursing care Valerie Maryse A. Gan, RN, MAN*, Rowena Escolar-Chua, RN, PhD Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines *Corresponding author: valeriegan@spup.edu.ph Novice nurses use procedural guidelines to make decisions based on Patricia Benner’s Intuitive-Humanistic Decision-Making Mode (1984), but expert nurses use their intuition to guide them in decision making. Intuition is regarded to be a legitimate and essential component of clinical judgment. According to Benner, it is understanding without rationale. In the acute care setting, the use of critical thinking and clinical decision making by nurses can make a significant impact on the care received by their patients. In 2006, research done by Anita J. Smith suggested that intuition is not only a cognitive skill; it is also a concept that has multiple dimensions found to be used not only by experienced nurses but novice nurses as well. She identified four factors associated with intuition: (1) spiritual connections, (2) reassuring feelings, (3) physical sensations, and (4) bad feelings. The main objective of this study was to determine whether the demographic profile (gender, years of experience, and nurse-to-patient ratio) affects the use of intuition in clinical practice of staff nurses assigned in medical-surgical units. Seventy-eight staff nurses working in the acute care setting, i.e., medicalsurgical wards, were purposefully surveyed in this descriptive correlational study. They answered the Smith Intuition Instrument, which is an 18-item Likert-type questionnaire that measures the level of intuition. Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationship between the variables. The findings show that there is a positive correlation between gender and intuition, while there is no significant correlation between nurse-topatient ratio and intuition, and years of experience and intuition. Keywords: Clinical practice, experience, intuition, nursing EFFECTIVENESS OF PATIENT SAFETY HUMAN PATIENT SIMULATION (PS-HPS) ON THE LEARNING OUTCOMES OF NURSING STUDENTS IN INDONESIA Eva Supriatin1, Serlina Sandi2*, Fransiska Anita Ekawati Rahayu Sa’pang2, Siwi Ikaristi Maria Theresia3 1 Departement of Nursing Science, STIKep PPNI Jabar, Bandung, Indonesia 2 Department of Nursing Science, Stella Maris College of Health Sciences, Makassar, Indonesia 3 Department of Nursing Science, Panti Rapih School of Health Sciences, Yogyakarta, Indonesia *Corresponding author: serlinasandi1982@gmail.com Human Patient Safety Simulation (PS-HPS) is simulation that can facilitate students’ dealing with real situations. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the simulation of human patient safety. It used quasi-experimental method involving 80 participants who were divided into two groups. The result of the study showed a significant difference in the participants’ competencies on patient safety after the intervention. The p = 0.000 < 0.05 means that the HPS simulation method is effective in improving patient-safety competence.

AEFI in Indonesia with the highest percentage of 4% occurred in the Moderna vaccine type. Using cross-sectional design, the study aimed to describe AEFI involving first and second doses of Moderna vaccine among Covid-19 survivors and non-survivors. A total of 73 participants selected through total enumeration were involved in the study. Results showed that the most common Moderna AEFIs reported were systemic AEFIs: dose 1 (survivors), 8 people (100%); dose 2 (survivors), 7 people (87.5%); dose 1 (non-survivors), 58 people (89.2%); and dose 2 (non-survivors), 53 people (81.5%). Generally, the most common AEFI of Moderna vaccines was systemic AEFI both at doses 1 and 2, among both survivors and non-survivors. Moreover, there was no significant difference in AEFI reactions at the first dose between survivors and non-survivors, and at the second dose between survivors and non-survivors.

Philosophical underpinning based on Husserlian’s thought and descriptive phenomenological research design was used, with six participants in a private hospital selected through snowball sampling technique. Collaizi’s seven-step methodological interpretation was used in the analysis. Results showed that the nurses have seven caring behaviors: compassion, responsiveness, selfcontrol, thoroughness, critical thinking, comforting, and educating. It is recommended that nurses maintain and improve their caring behavior, and that similar future studies conduct face-to-face interviews. Keywords: Behavior, caring, nurses Work-related stresses are experienced by workers when they are confronted with demands and pressures which do not match with their abilities and skills. A wide range of work situations may contribute to stress of workers especially when the management has little support to them. Work-related stress has negative impacts on individuals and organizations. Using descriptive design, the researchers adapted a questionnaire from the American Institute of Preventive Medicine to assess the occupational stress level of 23 staff nurses from four special areas (operating room, emergency room, delivery room, and intensive care unit) at Divine Mercy Wellness Center. Results showed that the nurses have a low level of occupational stress. A significant difference was observed in their stress level in terms of disagreement and indecision as well as time pressure when they are grouped by area of assignment, and in terms of disagreement and indecision including work overload when they are grouped by length of employment. The researchers concluded that it is necessary for healthcare institutions and nursing organizations to improve the working conditions of nurses through direct implementation of interventions or formulation of policies that would lessen nurses’ occupational stress.

Villagracia, RN, EdD, DNS College of Nursing, University of Ha’il, Ha’il, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia drhazel.academia2@gmail.com | h.villagracia@uoh.edu.sa Patients, consumer-advocacy organizations, and regulatory and accrediting institutions have all expressed concern about patient safety in the healthcare setting, especially for nurses. These initiatives have motivated Prince Mohammed bin Nasser Hospital nurses and practitioners to assess and adjust routine activities that contribute to a culture of patient safety and avoid medical mistakes due to misidentification of patient, especially in countries where patients’ names are identical. In this study, the researchers used cross-sectional survey and observational audit methodology to measure knowledge levels and compliance rates in proper patient-identification procedures among nurses at Prince Mohammed bin Nasser Hospital in Saudi Arabia. Results showed that the majority of the nurses (9, 81.2% 8 and 180, 65.9%) have a comprehensive knowledge of procedure for identifying patient correctly, including the policy to identify patient using the two patient identifiers. However, audit results revealed that the nurses used the two patient identifiers in just 40 observations (24%), with the majority of them positively identifying the name of the patient only (130 observations, 76%) and not their medical record number. The findings emphasized the importance of focusing more attention on patient identification. Specifically, identifying the factors and improving the implementation of standard practice of patient identification with new Standard Work Process for Identifying Patient correctly are described in this article. Mixed methods sequential explanatory design was used to investigate the interplay of Filipino nurses’ quality of life (QOL), work engagement, and coping during Covid-19 pandemic. Nurses participated from July 2021 until December 2021 in the online survey administered via Google Forms followed by a validation of their responses through online platforms and face-to-face focus group discussions (FGDs). Quantitative research tradition and thematic analysis with word cloud were employed for data analysis. This study revealed significant differences in the participants’ QOL and select socio-demographic profile variables such as years of experience, income, work engagement (WE), position, and years of experience; and a significant relationship between QOL and WE. In analyzing the interview data, seven themes emerged such as Restoration, Equilibrium, Commitment, Hope, Assurance, Resilience, God-fearing, and Engagement (RECHARGE), which were integrated into the trilogy caringbased framework. The pandemic has increased the need for nurses to receive all aspects of care, and with RECHARGE framework development, caring can be incorporated into the existing hospital programs to make nurses more engaged in work and find more ways to cope with adversity. Successful pre-pandemic workplace interventions may not adequately support nurses at this time. Further studies are needed to identify all support mechanisms to be given to them in preparation for any pandemic’s unprecedented challenges.

Depression causes difficulty in concentrating, remembering details, making decisions, including cognitive impairment. Depression can also make patients have suicidal ideation. One of the interventions to help patients overcome post-stroke depression is a complex nursing intervention that includes biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. This study aimed to determine the effect of complex nursing interventions on depression among post- stroke patients. Using quasi-experimental design, the researchers involved 42 purposively sampled patients who met the inclusion criteria and who were divided by random allocation into the intervention and the control groups, with 21 respondents in each group. The intervention group was given a complex nursing intervention with four home visits in four weeks, while the control group received standard care from the hospital. Both groups were measured for depression before and after the intervention using GRID-HAMD 17. Results of the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test for the effect of complex nursing interventions on depression among post-stroke patients showed a p value of 0.001 with an effect size of -0.67, which indicates a moderate effect size. The researchers concluded that complex nursing interventions have an effect on depression among post-stroke patients. Complex nursing interventions are therefore recommended for use with post-stroke patients both in the hospital and at home.

Post-partum mothers who are hospitalized or confined in other health facilities are declared ready for discharge if they already know about treatment, danger signs, activities to be carried out, and follow-up care at home. Using cross-sectional design, this study aimed to determine post-partum mothers’ readiness for discharge from health facilities. A readinessfor-hospital-discharge instrument consisting of 22 aspects was administered to a sample of 140 post-partum mothers. Results showed that there was still quite a lot of unpreparedness in the aspect of discomfort, physical ability to care for oneself at the beginning of returning from health facilities, physical ability to care for babies in the first days, knowledge about problems during home care, follow-up medical care for themselves and their babies, and perceptions of assistance to do household chores. Post-partum mother’s readiness to return home can be optimized through continuous education while the mothers are in the hospital and at home after their discharge. Keywords: Education, post-partum mother, readiness to go home This comparative study aimed to determine the stress level among nurses assigned in critical care areas and hospital ward areas who face daily struggles and stress. It also sought to investigate the factors that affect their work-life balance and physical and mental stability. A survey questionnaire was administered to 21 nurses working at Grupo Medico De Dios Hospital. Results revealed that critical care nurses had higher stress level than hospital ward nurses. The stressors that contributed to the level of stress were determined by the subscales of the expanded nursing stress scale used in the study. Considering the findings, the researchers recommended that the hospital may consider developing an electronic patient charting system that would help ease the nurses’ clerical work, reduce errors, provide a convenient way to assess patients, allow for clearer and readable doctors’ orders, and facilitate making nurse notes and open communication. Hospital administration may also consider giving paid off leaves and other mental and physical health benefits so that nurses would perform better and be more loyal to their institution.

CO2 capture performance of TEPA-loaded carbon at different temperatures was investigated. Pore structure and CO2 capture performance of the composite were analyzed by nitrogen adsorption and desorption, scanning electron microscope and thermogravimetric analysis. Results indicated that the porous structure of the mesoporous carbon was preserved even when the TEPA-loading amount was increased to 100%, and TEPA was loaded uniformly on the inner pore channels. The porous structure and high TEPA-loading amount endowed the material suitable for CO2 adsorption. CO2 adsorption capacity and rate were high at 750C, the maximum CO2 adsorption amount reached 1.46 mmol/g, and the saturated CO2 adsorption amount was obtained in 3 minutes. Although the CO2 adsorption amount and rate decreased at lower temperature, they still reached 0.92 mmol/g and 15 minutes, respectively, which were rather high for the similar materials. Hence, the high-adsorption capacity and rate of the composite made it an ideal material for CO2 adsorption in practice.

Jularbal, PhD Research Ethics Committee, St. Paul University Philippines bjularbal@spup.edu.ph Cancer remains to be one of the leading causes of death in the Philippines and around the world. One common therapeutic approach to inhibiting growth and proliferation of cancer cells is the use of chemotherapeutic agents. However, many of these agents are presently placed in a predicament because of their drug resistance and toxic effects to normal cells. For these reasons, research and development on new classes of anticancer agents which exhibit efficient and selective toxicity is increasing attention. In the Philippines, DOH approved ten herbal medicines for human use as home remedies for different diseases. Of the ten herbal plants, Quisqualis indica, Carmona retusa and Peperomia pellucida have not been studied for their anti-cancer potential. Thus, there is a need to discover their potential anticancer properties to provide opportunities in the discovery of drugs against cancer. Four biological assays were used in the evaluation of the anti-cancer properties of Quisqualis indica, Carmona retusa, and Peperomia pellucida. Results showed that the extracts where able to inhibit angiogenesis in both the CAM and HUVEC assays. Moreover, the plant extracts were also able to decrease the level of VEGFR (1 and 2) and CD-34 gene expression and increase TGF-β1 expression. The extracts also decreased the viability of human breast cancer cells. This decrease in viability is attributed to apoptosis which is characterized by extensive DNA fragmentation. Further studies may want to identify the bioactive compounds present in the plants, including their possible effects on different cancer cell lines.

Bangalan, DME rbangalan@spup.edu.ph The Covid-19 pandemic has caused educational disruptions which compelled schools and universities to close campuses. Most universities have shifted to online mode of delivery for teaching and learning to continue. With distance online learning set to continue, it is an ideal opportunity to try out pedagogical approaches that cultivate student engagement and empower students to be active learners. One promising strategy for promoting active online learning is the fully online flipped classroom pedagogical approach. Flipping the class effectively involves flipping teachers’ as well as learners’ mindset about online teaching and learning. Likewise, attitude is a key factor to be considered in understanding and explaining differences in student performance in Mathematics. Thus, this pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research was conducted to determine the online learning mindset, Mathematics outlook, and academic performance of college students in a fully online flipped Math course. Quantitative analyses of the data revealed that the participants’ online learning mindset, Mathematics outlook, and academic performance improved significantly after the implementation of flipped learning approach. Results also showed that the participants’ attitude towards online learning is related significantly to their academic performance. Moreover, qualitative data disclosed that the approach increased students’ motivation and confidence in learning Math, improved their engagement in guided, independent, and collaborative in-class activities, and deepened their understanding of Mathematical concepts. Hence, the flipped learning approach can transform classes into dynamic, engaging, interactive, student-centered online learning environment.

Pizarro, DPA Center for Planning, Research, Innovations, and New Technologies St. Paul University Philippines, Tuguegarao City, Philippines jpizarro@spup.edu.ph In the Philippines, the Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) dataset accumulated by the Department of Trade and Industry from 2011 to 2020 were used to assess the level of competitiveness of all the local government units (LGUs) in the country. The data provided a very rich source for data mining for the crafting of decision support systems for the LGUs based on the CMCI’s four pillars, namely: economic dynamism, government efficiency, infrastructure, and resiliency. This study focused mainly on the 10 indicators of government efficiency. This said pillar centers on the provision of services and aid by the government which are both effective and reliable, allowing for long-term growth in the economy’s productive capacity. It requires the government to be an institution that is not corrupt, which can thus safeguard and enforce contracts, apply moderate and reasonable taxation, and actively regulate the country’s economy. This study determined the level of government efficiency of the 28 LGUs in the province of Cagayan, northern Philippines with respect to the pillars’ 10 indicators. Furthermore, it also investigated whether there exist significant differences in the level of government efficiency of the LGUs when they are grouped by type of municipality and the congressional district to which they belong. The data utilized in this study were mined from the CMCI online portal and considered only the 2022 dataset. Generally, the LGUs in Cagayan possess high level of efficiency in terms of compliance with national directives and with ARTA Citizens Charter, and low efficiency with respect to their capacity to generate local resource, capacity for health services, recognition of performance, peace and order and social protection. There is no significant difference in the level of efficiency of the LGUs in Cagayan when they are grouped by type of municipality and congressional district affiliation. In summary, the province of Cagayan is said to have average performance in terms of the government efficiency indicators. community development and drrm COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS ON FLOODING IN MAROS COUNTY Hardin La Ramba1*, Yarwin Yar1, Sri Ramadany2, Veni Hadju2, Ulfa Nur Rohmah1, Yurita Mailintina1, Apriliana Pipin1, Ludo Vikus1, Sarah Geltri Harahap1 1 Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan RS Husada, Jakarta, Indonesia 2 Universitas Hasanuddin, Makassar, Indonesia *Corresponding author: hardinlaramba@gmail.com This study aimed to assess the extent of knowledge, experience, and attitudes shown by the community when a flood disaster occurs in Maros Regency, South Sulawesi Province. Using the qualitative approach, particularly the phenomenological design, the researchers collected the data through in-depth interviews with members of eight communities affected by flooding. Results of the analysis showed that the participants’ knowledge of flood disasters is still subjective. Their knowledge of flood disasters is generally known from their respective experiences, so that preparedness efforts in dealing with known flood disasters and those carried out by the participants are still simple. Such efforts are limited to evacuating valuables and raising the foundation of homes.

Forty (40) women with physical disabilities, affected by a massive flooding in 2020, were selected by SPUP Community Development Center Foundation, Inc. (SPUP-CDCFI) from the University’s partner communities as recipients of the program. SPUP-CDCFI responded to their unique situation and crafted a special program relevant to their conditions and needs by promoting and developing their entrepreneurial skills towards quality of life and sustainable living. In a 10-month period, the recipients were provided with capacity building and empowerment activities. Through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), a start-up capital was also provided to each of the recipients. At present, the program beneficiaries are already engaged in sustainable livelihood through income generating activities ranging from culinary activities, weaving and handicraft making, ornamentals, fruit and vegetable gardening, animal raising, and ambulant vending. The program has provided the recipients with livelihood that sustains their everyday life and welfare of their respective family. Moreover, the program developed their entrepreneurial skills and ushered in improvement in their socio-economic conditions through sustainable livelihood. It has also advanced their social skills and fostered among them a positive outlook and quality of life. This is one of the contributions of St. Paul University Philippines (SPUP) in empowering the differently abled persons in Cagayan to engage in self-employment activities and contribute to economic and social progress.

It also ascertained the correlation between overall cruise visitor behaviors and visitor management practices using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). A total of 343 participants consisting of cruise stakeholders from any of the three islands in the Turquoise Triangle (Manila, Boracay, and Palawan) were involved. The study used descriptive design through survey method. Structured questionnaires were distributed online via MS Forms due to the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to test the significant relationship among the management practices constructs and passenger behavior. Results showed that cruise visitor management practices greatly affect the overall cruise visitors’ behavior in terms of their cruise experience and revisit intention; thus, the few cruiseship calls that the Philippines is getting suggests that visitor management practices implemented need to be re-studied, re-evaluated, and re-strategized by destination policy makers through collaborations and concerted efforts of all cruise tourism stakeholders in making sound decisions in improving Turquoise Triangle as a port of call/transit or as a homeport to accommodate cruise ships.

Alvarado College of Nursing, Isabela State University, Echague, Isabela, Philippines angelito.e.alvarado@isu.edu.ph Tacit knowledge in a higher institution library includes a series of intuition and inspiration that a librarian uses in exploring solutions to various problems. Thus, limited source of knowledge or information is a critical factor in the failure to provide accurate information. The main problem of the business intelligence (BI) system is capturing tacit knowledge and using it as one of the sources for data analysis to enhance analytic results. Unstructured data can be defined as tacit knowledge in the form of data and information presented in the Knowledge Management System (KMS), and the cognitive business uses both structured and unstructured data with highly sophisticated analytical techniques to identify, evaluate, and recommend a business plan of action. The idea of being able to capture knowledge from different sources can be very beneficial to the BI system. This paper explored ways of extracting tacit knowledge from librarians to enhance data sources to be used in the BI by looking into the library’s academic services, which use much tacit knowledge for answering questions with the requirement of data analysis as online or offline queries. The new normal changed how the world reprogrammed their precautionary actions. Academic institutions are one of those that were greatly affected. Students were made to adjust in the new mode of learning. Non-teaching personnel are subjected to skeletal work schedules. The teachers were made to adapt the work-from-home arrangement. This scenario created unexpected impact on the health and wellness of the academic personnel and students. This study used exploratory sequential mixed methods. During the new normal, students and employees frequently engaged in health and wellness practices on the dimensions of physiological requirements for healthy nutrition, physical activity to improve health and motor function, and psychosocial needs. These helped them manage the problems and stress brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite frequently exercising health and wellness practices, participants still encountered problems in budgeting their finances due to unstable prices of basic necessities and additional pandemic-related expenses. Stress also caused observable changes in participants’ eating and exercising habits, which negatively affects their physical and physiological well-being. Students are stressed and exhausted as a result of online class problems, and as a result of having to comply with increasing study loads. These challenges impede the participants’ ability to maintain a healthy and positive well-being.

Another approach is needed by first looking at the quality of life of obese adolescents and their physical activity behavior as a step in providing suggestions for health interventions for obese adolescents. The study used cross-sectional design and involved 80 overweight adolescents (13-19 years old), who were selected using snowball sampling. The questionnaire underwent validation by experts, marking a CVI of 0.9. Results showed that the majority of the overweight adolescents are in the low quality of life category at 85%. Most of the adolescents engaged in physical activities moderately at 57.5%. Moreover, there is no significant difference between the level of physical activity and the variable of quality of life for overweight adolescents (p=0.3). Considering the results, various health programs need to be proposed to increase adolescents’ abilities and skills in terms of quality of life, as well as to increase their interest in doing physical activities regularly. Lack of knowledge causes adolescent reproductive health problems. This study aimed to ascertain the correlation between adolescents’ knowledge and behavior in maintaining reproductive health. Using crosssectional design, the researchers involved 260 senior-high-school students as participants. Results showed that 90% of the male students and 93% of the female students had good knowledge of reproductive health. The participants’ most positive behaviors include reducing humidity and improving the cleanliness of their reproductive organs, at 85% and 80%, respectively. On the other hand, the participants’ most negative behavior was taking immediate treatment, at 55% and 90%, respectively. Moreover, there was no significant correlation (p values at ​​0.585 and 0.724).

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND STUDENT-TEACHER INTERACTION IN ONLINE LEARNING Rucelj D. Pugeda, MIT School of Information Technology and Engineering, St. Paul University Philippines ruceljpugeda@spup.edu.ph Artificial intelligence (AI) systems offer effective support for online learning and teaching, including personalizing learning for students, automating teachers’ routine tasks, and powering adaptive assessments. However, while the opportunities for AI are promising, the effects of AI systems on the interactions between students and teachers are still elusive. In online learning, student-teacher interaction has a profound effect on students’ satisfaction and learning outcomes. The study used the qualitative approach and was participated in by 52 teachers and students. Findings showed that the participants envisioned adopting AI systems in online learning can enable personalized student-teacher interaction at a certain level but at the risk of infringing on social boundaries. Although AI systems have been positively recognized for improving the quantity and quality of communication, for providing timely, personalized support for large-scale settings, and for improving the feeling of connection, there were concerns about responsibility, work, and feedback. Based on the discussion, AI has fostered the improvement of instructional communication, engagement, and support towards optimal learning.

Pacquing, PhD College of Teacher Education, St. Paul University Philippines, Tuguegarao City, Philippines epacquing@spup.edu.ph A learning design that recently emerged with growing interest among instructors is the Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL is a set of principles for course design and delivery that gives all learners equal opportunities to succeed. This study utilized a questionnaire to assess the instructors’ extent of practice of UDL principles and open-ended questions to gather data about participants’ realizations, challenges, and suggestions. Results showed that the instructors practice the principles of UDL to a very great extent as assessed both by the instructors and the students. Teacher-participants realized that UDL improves student learning by providing greater opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills while the student-participants realized that UDL promotes inclusivity, respects diversity, and gives students equal opportunity to succeed. However, instructors have encountered challenges such as lack of student interest, insufficient digital learning tools, not internet-ready classrooms, while students have encountered problems such as limited time to accomplish assigned tasks, unclear presentation of topic, difficulty of accessing content, uninteresting teaching strategies, and difficult assessment tasks. Teacher-participants suggested the following to improve the utilization of UDL: knowing students’ strengths and weaknesses, upskilling teachers’ digital competence, upgrading educational technology, strengthening internet connectivity, and adopting flexible learning approaches. Likewise, studentparticipants suggested to make content more accessible, present content clearly, use varied teaching strategies, utilize more engaging learning activities, create a friendly environment, give sufficient time to accomplish tasks, and employ more authentic assessment tasks.

Moreover, the University adopted aggressive working capital management from the financial perspective of the balanced scorecard brought about by low liquidity and short-term solvency. It also had less performance from the financial perspective of the balanced scorecard.

Francesca M. Lingan Cagayan State University, Carig Campus, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, Philippines francescalingan@gmail.com The advent of the internet age has brought about rapid changes in the forms of art and entertainment that humans immerse themselves in. One area that has been gaining prolific traction in the evaluation of these changes is Instagram poetry. Hence, the present study aimed to explore stylistically the literariness anchored in the style and the reader of instapoetry using online data extraction of readers’ comments of some selected instapoetry from the social media platform Instagram. It also sought to develop a framework for a literaryaffective stylistic analysis of instapoetry. Findings revealed that instapoetry is largely free verse, which confirms non-difficulty as both an aesthetic and a writing style that can be read as an inquiry into itself. Lexico-semantic devices such as amplification, assertion, repetition, and phonological devices, such as consonance, assonance, and cacophony, were found to correspond to readers’ largely positive expression of resonation. Instapoetry’s literariness and the readers’ text experience, which overlap in the stylistic analyses of the instapoetry, were found instrumental in the framework development. The framework developed proposes a more detailed description in the stylistic study of readers’ text experience of instapoetry. Finally, the praxis of literary and affective stylistics supports the notion of examining both linguistic and cultural interfaces in contemporary literature as well as the consideration of stylistics as an interdisciplinary venture.
