I. INTRODUCTION
A. OVERVIEW OF THE STUDY
Community Health Nursing is a unique blend of nursing and public health practice
woven into a human service that properly developed and applied has tremendous impact on
human well being. Its responsibilities extend to the care and supervision of individuals and
families in their home, in places of work, in schools and clinics. It is one of the basic services of
health departments. The community health nurses, as members of the health team, are
expected to integrate within the context of family health care, the priority programs of the
Department of Health.
Everyone has his own definition of what is a family. The meaning of family is different to
every one of us. All definitions adapt to all families. A universal family is a nuclear family. The family
consists of adults of both sexes who are married the adults have biological children and socializes
them. By socializing their children they are transmitting the culture of their generation to their
children. The family helps bring about harmony and integration in society. Other institutions have
nowadays taken on these functions.
Children are usually the reflection of their parents. They carry on whatever they learn from
their parents onto their own. Children need the love and care from both parents, so they will not
2
feel incomplete. It takes two to have children, and those two should raise the child together with all
the love they have to offer.
The family’s major roles are to protect and socialize its members. Among the many functions
it serves, of prime importance is the role of the family plays in providing emotional support and
security to its members through love, acceptance, concern, and nurturing. In addition to providing
an emotionally safe environment for members to thrive and grow, the family is also a basic unit of
physical protection and safety. This is accomplished by meeting the basic needs of its members:
food, clothing, and shelter. Provision of a physically safe environment requires knowledge, skills,
and economic resources. The adult members through employment secure the economic resources
needed by the family.
Family X is an extended family composed of their own two children and parents of the
wife’s side. They live at Zone 3 Baikingon, Cagayan de Oro City. They were renting a house that
cost a hundred per month. The head of the family is a government employee as a construction
worker while the wife is a plain housewife.
I chose this family because they fit the required criteria for the family case study such as
the family income is below eight thousand, family that has a maximum of six members with
children’s age from zero to five years, and with a geriatric member. This family has the income
of six thousand to six thousand five hundred a month; they are six in the family; the wife’s
parents, the couple and their two children.
The objective of the study is to smooth the progress of putting into practice of family-
oriented nursing care and make certain an organized approach in the delivery of the nursing
services to the families in the community, purposely in the application of nursing process. It
aims to identify health problem of a family within the community. As student nurses, we could
give and apply some nursing interventions that are applicable and attainable within the
community health services. Also to offer some health teaching strategies for our clients such as:
1.) Visit the health center in their Barangay as a way maintaining health status of the family.
2.) How the environment affects such problem that the family experiencing and,
3.) How can a member of the family team help the family to deal with such problems?
On the later part the actual implementation and health teachings is given means on
setting up and evaluating the care at the family level. And lastly, to show and document the
array of services that nurses provide at the family level.
B. SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

This study focuses to the prevention of health problems, and promotion of health by the family
X.

 The scope of the study includes the family member’s personal and health profile and
spot map of their residence, the chief complain of the family member with a health
3
problem and the family members, the history of present illness of the member with a
health problem, the nursing assessment, the family coping index, the integrated
management of childhood illness, the family health plans and the actual implementation
of different interventions given to the family.
 The different references were also part of this study, which encompasses the use of the
different community health nursing books, nursing care plan books and other sources
which served as guide throughout the study.
II. SPOT MAP (Narrative)
From the point of reference which is Liceo De Cagayan University, we used a private vehicle
during our travel and paid 50.00 php each student back and forth but when riding a public
utility vehicle, the terminal is situated in the northwest of the cogon market. The fare for adults
is 40.00 php and for students senior citizen is 38.00 php. We did not follow the route of the
public utility vehicle going to Baikingon. We started out travel by passing through the National
Highway and passed by many landmarks such as Makro, RER, and other landmarks that is
famous within the busy streets of the National Highway. We passed through the Bulua gym,
and went straight ahead until we arrived at the bridge of the Iponan River and went straight
ahead again and followed the dusty and rocky roads going to Baikingon. Approximately we
travel about 14 kilometers from the point of reference to the area of destination which is
Baikingon and the travel time is approximately 30-45 minutes. The roads were dusty and some
were well cemented but the travel was worthwhile and enjoying.

VII. HOME AND ENVIRONMENT
A. HOME AND ENVIRONMENT
HOUSING
They rent their house with a 100php a month, constructed with woods and their roof
made of nippa. The area of their house is not enough to occupy six persons because the
limited space that the house has. They only have one room that is used by the couple
for sleeping while the grandparents utilized the space outside the room which is also
used as the dining area during meal time together with their grandchildren. The house is
not thoroughly clean and things are not properly arranged due to limited space, they
don’t have drainage. But still, the house is not hazardous because it doesn’t have a
stairs and other unfinished construction. The distance to the neighbor is very near
because they are just renting and constructed their using the firewall of the neighbor as
their wall.
B. WATER
SUPPLY
The source of
their drinking
water is from their own faucet and sometimes there is no water, because they are just
tapping water from the neighbor. They store it in a 4 liter water container with cover.
Regarding the source of the drinking water it is considered as not safe since they were
not practicing proper boiling of the water before consuming
18
C. TOILET FACILITIES
The family doesn’t have their own toilet and they are using the neighbor’s CR and two
families are using it, and the type is water-sealed, and it is located at the back of their
house, approximately 10 meters. The toilet’s odor is not that offensive
D. KITCHEN
19
They have a dirty kitchen inside their house and is located at the side of their house.
They are using wood for cooking rice and vegetables in a small pot. They store their left
over foods in the plastic container and just on top the table.
E. GARBAGE DISPOSAL
The Yanez family was disposing their garbage by means of burning it all in their
backyard. The government facilities that were assigned on collecting the garbage were
not able to reach the barangay area that’s why the community decided to just burn all
their garbage. The family was not practicing garbage segregation before burning them.
F. DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The Yanez family does not have any drainage system in their house surroundings; the
draining water just goes directly to the soil ground outside their house.
G. DOMESTIC ANIMALS
The family has a dog and a derby chicken. The dog is tied under their sink, partly inside
the house, and defecates and urinates where he is tied, the family just bury the dogs
feces and cover the urine with soil. The derby chicken is the head of the family’s pet; it
is tied inside their house.
20
H. NEIGHBORHOOD
The family’s house is located across the barangay hall, the distance of each house is
very close, and some are built with only one wall apart. The families in that specific
place are already very familiar with each other. The house is very near from the health
center, approximately 100 meters away.
I. COMMUNITY FACILITIES
The house is very close to the barangay hall, approximately 30 meters away. It is also
very near to the school where their kids studied which is the beside Baikingon
Elementary school, the school also located the barangay covert court where in all
community program are being conducted. The health center also is very accessible
because of its distance; it is just a 100 meters away from their house.
VIII.
FAMILY COPING INDEX
The objective of this indicator is to present a benchmark for approximating the

nursing needs of a particular family, thus Family Coping Index. It is the coping capacity
and not the underlying problem that is being rated, and it is designed to record family
rather than individual coping capacity. In public health nursing, the family cannot be
seen only as a factor that affects health; rather, the family is the patient.
Legendary:
5 – Complete competence
3 – Moderate competence
1 – No competence
21
9 Areas of
Nursing Rating Justification Statement
Concerns
1. Physical The members are all able to move without assistance

Independence 5 and difficulty. They do their activities of daily living
without aid. They are independent in moving about
and using their musculoskeletal system but there is
one member of the family with abnormalities in the
physical independence (Mrs. A.Y).
2. Therapeutic 3 The parents are aware on what to do if a member

Competence fells ill. Although, the distance of the health center is
near but because of financial problems that's why
they cannot provide enough and/or appropriate
interventions. The parents are aware of their lapses
in therapeutic competence. They are aware of their
financial difficulties, which is the primary reason for
not having or following the appropriate procedure or
treatment, having appliances and even enough
clothes for the children.
3. Knowledge of 3 The mother is knowledgeable on salient health issues

Health Condition and responsibilities. Yet due to financial problems,
health issues are overlooked. But as a mother she
considers immunization as essential for her child’s
health. Immunization of the children was complete.
4. Application of 3 . The family sleeps well but sometimes they dont eat
Principles of nutritious foods. Their source of water is from faucet
General Hygiene which is only available at the barangay hall. They do
not practice sterilization or healthy habits in food
storage and preparation. Even though aware of
hygiene’s importance, the family does not practice
good hygienic skills. Yes they take a bath everyday
but their source of water for bathing and washing
clothes are from barangay hall water source and is
not available sometimes., eating habits and
maintenance of healthy lifestyle are not taken into
consideration that much.
5. Health 3 The parents are concerned about the health of the

Attitudes members of the family yet they do not participate
actively
in maintaining optimum health due to financial
constraints. Also, the family lacks information
regarding healthy lifestyle and healthful ways toward
improvement of life. Parents, as much as possible,
want to protect their children from any harm but
then, they lack money and information for them to
carry out the right health care for the family.
6. Emotional 5 The family are competent enough emotionally. They

Competence can manage their own problems and also handle
22
stress just like any other family does. The parents
take responsibility their only child and to their
extended family. They also discipline and teach
always their children the morals of life. The family
lives harmoniously at home. Even though conflicts
arise, they really see to it that they would discuss
each concern in a calm manner.
7. Family Living 3 There is high concern within the family, especially

with regards to their interrelationship with others.
The parents discuss decision- making. The child is not
yet open for suggestion to decision-making since they
are still young and difficult to comprehend their
current situations. Others respect individual
relationships of each member of the family Decision-
making is shared among its members except on
young member. Each has his or her own part or role
in the family, which is well respected.
8. Physical 3 The family’s house space is not good enough for the
Environment - family.They cook their food inside their house
wherein they just use earthly pot and used wood as
fuel. They live in a place wherein it’s not congested
but then the distances between their neighbours are
not that so far from each other. The house
environment is not fitted for them , because of the
presence of pests and accident hazards in their
community. Also their house is in poor condition, that
they can possibly acquire serious diseases. Their food
storage is unsanitary. Though it is covered with cloth,
sometimes insects and other small animals could
crawl inside the dish organizer.
Having a earthy pot used for cooking inside the
house is really a fire hazard because some of the coal
fire might come in contact with their wood wall.
9. Use of 3 The mother is aware of the available resources in the

Community community, both in health and education. But they
Facilities cannot utilize the health facilities due to busy doing
household chores. They go to the health center if
needed.

IX. ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION
First Visit
During my first day of visit, I introduced myself to the family, stated the purpose &
duration of visit, and established good rapport with them. I interviewed the family with regards
to the names, birthdays, educational attainment, occupation, monthly income, religion, and
heredo-familial diseases of the family. We took their vital signs and were able to do physical
assessment. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to interview and take the vitals of the head of their
family since he was with his job.
We gave partial health teachings regarding proper hygiene as well as sanitation. The family
was able also to understand the teachings. I also examined the weight of their children and
assess with the use of IMCI.
Second visit
I still could not see any changes in the family since the house was still untidy, their
children were wearing dirty clothes and haven’t taken a bath yet, so again we told the family
that they need to have their house clean if they want to have a clean environment, free from
any diseases. The mother was encouraged to provide a food that are nutritious like vegetable
and fruit and avoid junk foods.
I also imparted additional health teachings with regards to management of the grand
father’s disease condition we stressed out the importance of avoidance of caffeine beverages
and smoking cessation. Also I taught pt on boiling lemon grass as alternative regimen for his
HPN.
Third visit
I was able to see some changes with regards to the surroundings of the family. Grasses
were cut very short in frontage and the mother cleaned the house. As I continue to inspect
every detail of the house, it’s fulfilling to the part of the student nurse that they were listening
and willing to cooperate in fulfilling the objectives of this care study.
I was able to stay long with the family and unfortunately I wasn’t able to meet the head
of the family because of the same reason. And I instructed them again to go to the health
center to avail free medication, regular check- up and prenatal check up then I invited them to
attend our culminating activity.
Fourth Visit
I provided health teachings related to environmental sanitation and how to fix their
garbage by not throwing it anywhere or burning them up because it can affect the respiratory
system of the residents and specially the young children that are playing near their house. I
associated learning to them behind the importance of environmental sanitation and the benefits
that will gained towards the proper disposal of their garbage. I also evaluated them with the
activities that were given during the culminating activity and the essential knowledge and skills
that would help the family generate an income; we did not stayed for long and bid farewell to
the family leaving them with teachings that would uplift their lifestyle.
30
Fifth Visit
I instructed the family to conscious enough in food handling because they have a higher
risk for diseases because of improper food handling. Even they don’t have enough utensils to
provide enough food for the family as well as to keep their food safe from any foreign vectors
that could bring bacteria that may contaminate the food during the course of cooking. Also the
person cooking the food must also be aware of the cleanliness of his/her hands because he/she
is directly involve with the food, in other words he’s the one holds, prepares and cooks the food
for everybody. These factors can affect to the consistency of the food and its patency to be
safe enough and to be consumed.
Sixth Visit
I ended our last visit with a productive one, were we gathered all the necessary
teachings for the family. I provided them with knowledge pertaining the disease that may
occur in each of the family member. I explained the causes of diarrhea and how to prevent and
how to cure it when one of them has it. We taught the client about making a homemade
oresol. We taught the family the ways of making it, by using a tablespoon of salt, 8 teaspoon
of sugar and one liter of sugar. We explain the importance of the homemade oresol and the
means of using it, also we included the important thing about this regimen that it can be only
be effective with the span of 24 hours and if the diarrhea is still present, the family must make
a new mixture to replace the fluids and electrolytes that were lost during the excretion of the
feces. We also gave health teachings to the management of their domestic animals and the
disadvantages that the family could acquire if they don’t properly anticipated the risk for freeing
their pets and it could provide a big problem to each member of the family if they don’t tie
them up and secure them in an area away from their children and to the other residents.
X. RECOMMENDATION
The student nurse have identified and prioritized problems and needs with the family.
The student nurse have also created a care plan on how to deliver the best nursing care for the
family to address their needs. The following below are propositions and commendations
recognized by both the student nurse and family:
 The family should maintain a healthy and clean environment. They must clean their
surroundings to avoid the presence of vectors of diseases.
 The family should also maintain proper hygiene such as taking a bath regularly, trimming
their nails, frequent changing of clean clothes especially when come in contact with filthy
objects or experienced wetness of the back, refraining from walking barefooted, brushing of
teeth frequently, and proper and regular hand washing.
 They must also reorganize their cooking practices in terms of food preparation and handling
as well as keeping their kitchen utensils in a covered storage to avoid getting it
contaminated by insects or pests. In addition to that, they should also cover their food
storage.
31
 The family should also be advised to not wait for the ailment to become severe before
seeking medical help.
 The family must also be educated and follow the proper preparation of herbal medicines as
it was presented during the mother’s class.
 The family should persevere to perform proper waste segregation and disposal of their
garbage as it was presented during the mother’s class.
 The family should be aware that organizations in the community are open and present for
their problems to be addressed properly.
 They should be encouraged to verbalize their concerns with regard to the community so
that resolutions can be made.
XI. EVALUATION
Although some short comings were not thoroughly anticipated during the care of the
family as well as referral was not very successful due lacks of time, still were able to care to the
concerned family.
There were no difficulties encountered as to the family member’s attitude because they
were participative and accommodating throughout the care rendered to them. In the client care
process, several interventions were done as well as health teachings. This includes the
appropriate care for the disease conditioned, information drive or further research and
education which concerns of health care and health related conditions. As well as other health
tips were emphasized to the concerned family, these were discussed as to anticipate the care of
the individual and the family as a whole.
During the termination phase, the family said their thanks for the health teachings that
were imparted to them. The objectives of this study was met, related factors that affected the
family’s health was identified. Referral and appropriate interventions was provided to the family.
The objectives of the study were successfully met; health promotion and prevention of disease
was implemented as part of this study. As part of the implementation Proper referral and
interventions were done.
Poverty exists everywhere and although there are a lot of factors to consider, the
attitude of a person is really important. Poverty pushes these people to live into that type of
life status. The lack of income and financial constraints puts health as the lowest priority in
their day to day living exposing them to risk to different kinds of diseases.
It was total different experience on my part to be exposed in the Community and all its
actuality and candidness, learning the intricacies of community health nursing was more
worthwhile and full of appreciation. Previously we have one-sided view about nursing care, but
everything was changed soon after we grasped the idea of community nursing. This fact made
us realized that although the period covered for our exposure is inadequate if we truly want to
render effective health service, yet we could evaluate everything that transpired as within
satisfactory. We admit that the client who is subject of our study made all things possible for
32
us to learn what we need to know and what we supposed to gain in the field of community
nursing.
