INTRODUCTION

The family is the basic unit of a society. As a universal social institution, it may be defined according to Burgess, as a group of persons united by ties of marriage, blood or adoption; constituting a single household unit, interacting and communicating with each other in their respective social rules of husband and wife, mother and father, son and daughter, and creating and maintaining a common culture. Based on his definition, the nature of family will be affected by several modifications foremost of which is the sociocultural factor. The family will inevitably be affected by the changes that occur within the society of which it is a part. Society is never static. It is constantly changing. Changes that may occur will be reflected in family life. Considering the impact of the family in molding the personality of its members, one cannot overemphasize the importance of knowing the interrelationship of family and socio-cultural forces. A family may also be two or more people who live in the same household (usually), share a common emotional bond, and perform certain interrelated tasks. Spradley (1990, p. 100). The second definition is more favorable for healthcare providers because it gives emphasis on the fact that there are different types of families. Many types of families exist, and a family will change over time as it is affected by birth, work, death, divorce and growth of each family member.

A family represents a certain group in a community, and as a group, each member must have a certain role to play or complete a certain task. Majority of the roles people view as appropriate are the roles they see their parents fulfill. Each generation takes on the values and traditions of the past generation, handing down tradition and culture from one generation to the next.

Some of the main tasks that essentially should be carried down or passed on from one family to the next are basically norms in society pertaining to family, which are: A family must provide food, shelter, clothing and health care for its members; prepare children to live in the community and interact with people outside the family; determine

which family needs will be met and their order of priority; open an effective means of communication between family members, establish family values and enforce common regulations for all members; apply division of labor; place members of the family into different sectors of society such as school, religious affiliations, or political groups; and maintain motivation and morale. The stability of the family is a delicate thing made up of the interplay and exchange between members. Crisis occur when change in role is necessary and the emotional balance within the family is disturbed. Illness of an individual member often creates a difficult change in role and a crisis occurs. As with the individual, the stage of development of which illness is interjected affects the nature and severity of the crisis of the family.

The family as a group has the dual task of attaining its goals and meeting the needs of its individual members. Within the constraints of its social roles, each family develops its own set of values, its own patterns of behavior, or no communication between husband and wife and between parents and children are among the tasks.

By fulfilling these tasks through the developmental stages, each family member must work with every other member and play his designated role. Through positive means, in effect the family structure will be healthy resulting in each members successful growth and development.

As a requirement of NCM501104, we the students were required to conduct a family care study in Zone 2, Brgy. Canitoan, Cagayan de Oro City. In relation to this, we have chosen the Yamit Family for our family care study for they poses the criteria for the need of family care.

X. SCHEMATIC PRESENTATION OF THE FAMILY CARE PROBLEM

XI. ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION

ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION Day 1 Orientation Phase On the very first day of duty in the community, we need to find our own patient and at the same time choosing our family care study patient that will be visited and assessed. Basically, we have to follow on the criteria given to us that will qualify a family to be our respective patients. If we are to base on the problems the family has, the community has less problems that concerns on health related areas since more of the identified dilemmas were environmentally traces.

Despite of this fact, we patiently took the time in finding our patients that can be of help to us and we can be a help to them as well as a change agent or an educator

25

in their humiliating health conditions. So, as we have tried to move on and grabbed some learning that skilfully enhances our knowledge in close contact to people and showing them of how to be a people to people, we were able to select the family based on their needs. Through this manner, prioritization is being practiced and sharpened.

As finally decided, We able to choose the patient that bests seek our support in their living. Most likely, the need to establish rapport and gauging their interest and participation is our main goal at this moment of time. Determination of their effort to participate and sincerest approval to our presence is also a great deal to be cleared and promoted throughout the entire visit that we are to take with them.

As we begin this contact with them, we initiatively took the step to have personal contact; we visit them in their households and take some part of their time. We took the step in taking their data, which in this way, collection of data is performing the procedures that will be more sharpened as the more we do it.

DAY 2 Working Phase In our 2nd day we do the pahina with the help of some of the community members in District 2, Isla, Canitoan, even though some community members were not cooperative during the pahina somehow all senses were being improved to find flaws and comprehend the application of learned theories in actual setting by doing health teachings and giving guidelines to be followed by them. This task took us responsible to what we could bring to the family in so many ways we can as student nurses. This activity is believed to take a closer connection to the family that applications of needed activities require thorough study to prevent errors and faulty nursing practices. The building of trust may be noticed in time towards the end of the actual performances. In response to their short responses, we believe that this has captured and enlightened their function as a human of their own. Helping them enrich their lives calls a sense of responsibility and accountability to their selves.

26

Everyone wish to help our family clients, addressing their needs and giving them care to what they wish. It is our chance to share our knowledge through giving health teachings and imparting information for their own benefits. Most likely, our tasks as student nurses are primarily focused on the basic areas to be implanted to them in action and words. This may be appreciated once the taught knowledge will be applied and inhibited. We gladly thank our patients in giving their time and may they be able to find their position in life as a person.

XII. REFERRAL AND FOLLOW UP The family was advice and encourage to have a regular check up to the Barangay Clinic, health center or Hospital. This is to determine if some members of the family is sick and to easily prevent diseases. And they should also follow the advices or instructions that was given by the health provider.

XIII.EVALUATION Although some short comings were not thoroughly anticipated during the care of the family as well as referral was not very successful due to the unavailability of the family members to be referred.

Still we were able to care to the concerned family. There were no difficulties encountered as to the family members attitude because they were participative and accommodating throughout the care rendered to them. Furthermore, as of other aspects was difficult to plan because it was not anticipated, such mentioned difficulty was encountered with the father of the family because of his unavailability during the process of care.

27

We give them some health tips that were emphasized to the concerned family, these were discussed as to anticipate the care of the individual and the family as a whole.
