III. RESULTS:
a. Respondents'Characteristics:
Table I shows the profile of respondents by age, gender, education, work experience, and occupation. The average respondent's age was 36.2 years associated with a relatively high standard deviation of 9.6 years. This shows the medical workforce at KAMC is young. With respect to gender, the vast majority of the respondents were female, 86.2 percent, while the remaining 13.8 percent were males. The sex disproportion is due to the fact that most of the sample were nurses, 55.2 percent; as nurses are usually females.
In terms of educational background, most of the respondents, 79.3 percent, hold bachelor's degree, followed by 17.2 percent who had postgraduate degree and 3.4 percent had high school education or less.
