INTRODUCTION
RATIONALE:
collaboration with the health teams, the student nurses should apply their
knowledge in maintaining and promoting quality health. They may impart
knowledge and provide necessary information about the proper way of
preventing diseases which may truly help the whole community. They may
also promote health by suggesting health programs and seminar related with
the commonly occurring diseases for early detection and prevention
General Objectives:
After our community exposure, our group will be able to assess and
acquire the relevant data that will help the community in becoming more
aware in the health status of their place even if they share common interest
their health ways and beliefs still differs from one another. Being the future
community health nurses someday, we’ll try to formulate new ideas that will
teach and help them in equating ways and means of how to be participative
in right health ways instead of the “false” beliefs taught from the past. We
the student nurses will be able to apply our different therapeutic ways in
communication especially in the community where we are all strangers
which are a challenge for all of us.

Based on the data gathered, the ratio between males and
females is 96.63%. The female population is greater in number
than male population by 4%.

Sex ratio is the ratio of males to females in a population.
The shift toward an excess of females has a variety of social and
biological implications. Men and women differ with respect to
the amount of schooling, age at marriage, entrance into and
length of labor force activity, type of occupations held, amount of
income received and amount of social group activity. They also
Community Diagnosis6
Based on the given data, it was found out that there are
more females than males in Purok 4. With this data, it could be
suggested that the health programs be intensified for both of the
sexes since the only difference between them is 4%. Health
teachings like proper diet, lifestyle, and prevention of diseases

from Luzon islands are only 34% and the remaining 16% came

mixed materials like concrete and plywood. This is more
convenient than Light housing and Make shifts, since the

1. Water Supply
Community Diagnosis24
Interpretation:
For the community’s water resources, most of the
population comprising 65% has their water resource from a
water company supply like NAWASA and MWSS. While the
remaining 35% of the total population still rely on the “old style”
common deep well or what we so called “poso”.
Analysis:
The researchers had concluded based from the above data
presented, many homeowners in Purok 4 are used to have their
water resources from the projects of water supply companies
that built different water ways within the community compared
to the remaining percentage of the population that still depends
their water resources from deep wells that are still present in the
community. Some still depends on pozos because of lack of
inadequate finances that they could pay for their monthly dues
for MWSS, they reasoned out that instead of spending it for
NAWASA, they would just spend it in buying their foods for the
whole day.
2. Excreta Disposal
Community Diagnosis25
Interpretation:
Analysis:
As for the majority who are using pour flush toilets, the
importance of frequent and proper hand washing is the focus of
the community. The absence of a direct water supply in pour
flush toilets makes it prone to dirt and bacteria, which can easily
cause diseases, especially those concerning the digestive track,
when ingested. To avoid the spread of fecal-oral diseases are
common to such kinds of toilets, hand-washing demonstrations
and teachings may be implemented in as a program in the
community. Health seminars may be conducted in the
community to increase their awareness about the importance of
hygiene to their health and how hand washing could decrease
the possibility of acquiring gastrointestinal illnesses.
3. Garbage Disposal
Community Diagnosis26
Interpretation:
Out of the houses surveyed in Purok 4, 80% of their
garbages are being collected, 11% of it are being segregated,
8% of it are being dumped while the remaining 1% is being
burned.
Analysis:
In Purok 4 community, about 80% of the people dispose
their garbages through the collection of dump trucks for an easy
and convenient way of garbage disposal while 11% of them
practice proper waste segregation. They separate non
biodegradable materials and biodegradable materials to help in
maintaining a healthy and organize environment and try to keep
those materials that can be recycle or use again. And few of
them, about 8%, dumped or throw their garbages anywhere.
Community Diagnosis27
They dumped it along the streets, vacant lot or even along the
river. Lack of knowledge on improper disposal of garbages can
be a factor why few of them disregard important things like this
that can harm their health. And the remaining 1% of them
practiced burning of garbages. They think that burning of
garbages can help them lessen the possibility of having disease
(such as dengue) in their area.
1. Food Storage
Community Diagnosis28
Interpretation:
For food storage and facilities of the community, 64% of
the population has their own tables in storing their foods & meals
for the whole day. While the remaining 2-3% of the population
still use other types of storages like baskets, Tupperware or even
cabinets.
Analysis:
There is a greater percentage of people who don’t keep
their food on refrigerators – which then heightens the risk of food
spoilage and contamination. The chart highlights the need for
proper food storage and handling because food sanitation is not
adequate in the community. The food, when contaminated or
spoiled, loses its original nutritional value, texture, and flavor.
Thus, the food becomes harmful to people and unsuitable to eat.
This can be caused by bacterial or fungal growth, infestations
from insects or rodents and the temperature of the surroundings.
Once the food is not properly stored, it would lead to an increase
in the gastro-intestinal diseases existing in the community.

2. Family Planning
INTERPRETATION:
Women on Purok 4 surveyed shown that most of them agreed
with 61% as acceptors and the remaining 39% where non-acceptors.
Apparently, 0% is defaulter.
ANALYSIS:
Interpretation:
Out of the 73% who prefer artificial method: 62% wants usage of
pills, 19% prefers ligation, 16% wants usage of IUDs, 2% only prefers
usage of condoms & the remaining 1% prefers injectibles. This implies
that responsibilities towards contraception lies on women rather than
man themselves. Usage of pills must be taken religiously since any
alteration on it means unwanted pregnancy. Ligation on women seems
to be effective most of the times since ampulla of the fallopian tube
where cut thus ovary cannot pass through it, we
very well know that vasectomy is the
counterpart of it among men. IUDs such as
those hormonally based and copper based one;
however certain abnormal effects may happen
if pregnancy continues here, epitome of it was
intrauterine bleeding. Condoms were not used
mainly by men for the reason that “satisfaction
not guaranteed”. Usage of injectibles is not that popular
since pain is present upon administration of it.
