 I. Introduction
The third-year students at National University, Manila, NUR 182 conducted a study in the
community of Barangay 407, National University Manila, third-year pharmacy students, with the
goal of seeking an open participation for the improvement of the community. Community health
nursing involves a holistic approach to patient care. Interventions are aimed at individuals,
families, and groups. It is composed of three major concepts: (1) client; (2) goal; and (3) means.
Nursing practice in the community emphasizes on managing and preventing diseases and
educating the community about maintaining well-being. This research is built to aid the
community in developing an agreement about the priority of health problems in their individual
communities and creating and improving strategies to address the issues identified. Community
participation is believed to be beneficial to the development, implementation, and evaluation of
health services. The students should be efficient, capable, and have enough knowledge to
implement the community diagnosis in working for the development of health education with the
third-year pharmacy students at National University.
