the lived experience of orphan children.Quantitative research employed the use of the
survey questionnaire in the gathering of
important data relevant to the study.

FINDINGS
The following are the findings of the study: The
profile revealed that majority of the orphan children
belonged to 11 -15 years of age, boys and 1-3 years as
to length of stay. The extent of the effects of lived
experiences of orphan children: Physical Effects wereVery Extensive; Social Effects were Extensive;
Emotional Effects were Extensive; and Psychological

Measures are envisioned in the enhancement of the
lived experiences of orphan children.

Rationale of the Study
Orphan children are underprivileged
and their needs need to be dealt with in
order to meet their physical, mental,
social, emotio0nal and psychological
need. It should never be taken for granted
knowing that the children are considered
the hope of the country (Soccoro, 2006).
-
8/6/2019 Lived Experience of Orphan Children
10/89
It is sad to note that these children are
deprived of the opportunities of a
comfortable living, lack the parental attention
and even to the point of being neglected.
These children need the care and love of a
significant person through attending to theirneeds and providing them the comfort that
ensures healthy lifestyles and living. Based
on the observation, there are number of
cases of orphan children left in the care of a
government entity. It is where there is a
need to address the problem.
-
8/6/2019 Lived Experience of Orphan Children
11/89
There are many orphans in the Department
of Social Welfare and Development whichare catered by the agency in promoting their
welfare through meeting their needs
physically, mentally, socially, emotionallyand psychologically since these children are
the hope of the country.

The researchers have the needed
competencies in making their research
through their varied exposures in
clinical and community areas dealing
with children but this is an exceptional
case wherein these researchers will
make a qualitative phenomenological
research on the lived experiences of
orphan children through identifying their
needs and coming up with solutions to
address these problems.
-
8/6/2019 Lived Experience of Orphan Children
13/89
Hence, the researchers came across the
research in order to know the lived
experience of orphan children with the endview of coming up with a program to
address the needs of these orphan children.

Theoretical Background
The study is anchored on Bowlby Attachment
Theory. Attachment is an emotional bond to another
person. Psychologist John Bowlby was the first
attachment theorists. It described that attachment a
"lasting psychological connectedness between humanbeings. Bowlby believed that the earliest bonds formed
by children with their caregivers have a tremendous
impact that continues throughout life. According to
Bowlby, attachment also serves to keep the infant closeto the mother, thus improving the child's chances of
survival (Hurlock, 2003).
-
8/6/2019 Lived Experience of Orphan Children
15/89
The central theme of attachment theory
is that mothers who are available andresponsive to their infant's needs establish a
sense of security. The infant knows that the
caregiver is dependable, which creates asecure base for the child to then explore the
world (Hurlock, 2003).
-
8/6/2019 Lived Experience of Orphan Children
16/89
Characteristics of Attachment include
safe haven when the child feel threatened or
afraid, he or she can return to the caregiverfor comfort and soothing; secure base
wherein the caregiver provides a secure
dependable base for the child to explore the
world; Proximity Maintenance wherein the
child strives to stay near the caregiver, thus
keeping the child safe and Separation
Distress: When separated from thecaregiver, the child will become upset and
distressed (Hunt, 2002).

Based upon the responses the researchers
observed, Ainsworth described three major styles of
attachment: secure attachment, ambivalent-insecure
attachment, and avoidant-insecure attachment. Later,
researchers Main and Solomon added a fourth attachment
style called disorganized-insecure attachment based upon
their own research. A number of studies since that time
have supported Ainsworth's attachment styles and haveindicated that attachment styles also have an impact on
behaviors later in life. Securely attached children exhibit
distress when separated from caregivers and are happy
when their caregiver returns. Remember, these children
feel secure and able to depend on their adult caregivers.When the adult leaves, the child may be upset but he or
she feels assured that the parent or caregiver will return
(Surensen, 2002).
-
8/6/2019 Lived Experience of Orphan Children
18/89
When frightened, securely attached children will
seek comfort from caregivers. These children know their
parent or caregiver will provide comfort and reassurance,
so they are comfortable seeking them out in times of need.Ambivalently attached children usually become very
distressed when a parent leaves. This attachment style is
considered relatively uncommon, affecting an estimated 7-
15% of U.S. children. Research suggests that ambivalent
attachment is a result of poor maternal availability. Thesechildren cannot depend on their mother to be there when
the child is in need. Children with an avoidant attachment
tend to avoid parents or caregivers. When offered a choice,
these children will show no preference between a caregiver
and a complete stranger. Research has suggested that this
attachment style might be a result of abusive or neglectful
caregivers. Children who are punished for relying on a
caregiver will learn to avoid seeking help in the future (Hill,
2006).

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROFILE AND THE EXTENT
OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF THE LIVED
EXPERIENCES OF ORPHAN CHILDREN
Table 4 shows whether there is significant relationship between
profile and the extent of the psychological effects of the lived
experiences of orphan children. As shown in table whether there is
significant relationship between age and gender, it obtained chi-
square of 12.46 which is greater than the critical value of 7.81 which
means the rejection of the hypothesis. The findings implied that
there is significant relationship. According to Erik Erikson
psychosocial growth and development, the individual has its own
distinguishing characteristics. The period of school age and young
adolescents are still immature and not capable of making decisions.
The younger the individual means the less mature and capable inmaking decisions (Surensen, 2005).
-

60/89
In terms of gender and the extent of the effects, it obtained chi-
square value of 4.56 which is lesser than the critical value of 7.81
which means the acceptance of the hypothesis. There is no
significant relationship between gender and the extent of the effectsof the lived experiences of orphan children. Gender is not a factor
that affects the experiences of the orphan children for their being
boy and girl does not have a significant impact since they are still
incapable of making decisions and are dependent on the family and
significant others (Hurlock, 2006).
In terms of length of stay and extent of the effects, it obtained
chi-square value of 23.46 which is greater than the critical value of
16.92 which means the rejection of the hypothesis. The findings
implied that there is relationship between the length of stay and the
extent of the effects. The longer of stay, the more the individual is
accustomed with the environment.The findings revealed that it is on the profile of age and length
