MESSAGE OF THE DEAN
2

The College of Nursing of the University of the Cordilleras on its quest to better

understand the practice of Community Health Nursing, as part of the Related

Learning Experience has been practicing the concept of Community Organizing

Participatory Action Research (COPAR), which is a continuous and sustainable

process of educating the people in the community; with this our students were trained to work collectively and

effectively on their immediate and long term problems, mobilize the people in the community to respond and

take action on their immediate needs towards the solution of there long term problems.

It is also through COPAR that the process and structure, through which members of the community

are organized to participate in the health and community development activities. Furthermore, the students will

be able to understand the essence of COPAR which could be used in alternative situations wherein health

interventions in public health care do not require involvement of modern medical practitioners.

As they say, during this pandemic, the public health nurses are on the front lines of the COVID‐19

pandemic. They serve on mobile strike teams investigating case‐contacts, deliver education on self‐isolation

and quarantine through hotlines and home visits, They are reliable and proven to respond during infectious

disease emergencies, providing safe, effective, and non-discriminatory care to the communities in which they

serve. So despite the challenges that we face this pandemic and with the no actual exposure in the community

this year; I am confident that as you leave the portals of your Alma mater, and join the globally acclaimed, and

noble profession of nursing, you will always carry the knowledge, and skills that were imparted to them, and

have the right attitude, and heart of a true UCIAN nurse.

The college enormously appreciates the dedication and commitment of our community clinical

instructors surpassing beyond the student satisfaction in providing our students the best community health

nursing experiences virtually, and through simulation while fulfilling their duties, and responsibilities.

The college also commends the cooperation of the students and their sense of responsibility in

bringing out their best to work and be with the people in their respective catchment areas, and readily facing
3

the hardships, and challenges as a community health student nurse even with the disruption of education by the

COVID-19.

The batch of May 2021, had been a partner of the different Local Government units, and Rural Health

units, and offices in carrying out different health, and community programs to address health, and other non-

health related problems of the people for quality life.

Congratulations in advance and I do hope that you will all contribute to the big role in moving things

forward, for the betterment of the working conditions, welfare, and wages of nurses, providing career paths

both in the hospital, and the community toward the development of advance nursing practice in the country,

and be able to accept the challenge to be a public health nurse someday.

including the Local Council Committee of Health. The target total involve are 80 participants.

IV. Project Status:


The project was planned by the BSN 3A-2C, students of the University of the Cordilleras –
College of Nursing. These are the following activities that are expected to be implemented during
the program:

1. Health Education
The students will conduct health education to motivate students to improve and maintain
their health. Also, it will help the participants increase awareness of tuberculosis, including
the transmission of the disease, and the importance of early detection and treatment.

2. Learning Enhancement for the Midwives and Barangay Health Workers

The student nurses will conduct a relative workshop to the barangay health practitioners
in collaboration with the 2017-2022 Philippine Strategic TB Elimination Plan. The program
aims to activate communities and patient groups to promptly access quality TB services by
collaborating with other government agencies to reduce out-of-pocket expenses and expand
social protection programs. This is to ensure cost-effective health services and to motivate
Barangay Health Workers in conducting and sustaining the project until the community will
develop independency and resiliency. Philippine Strategic TB Elimination Plan outlines the
major strategies in screening, testing and diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Thus, this
program aims to achieve a 50% reduction in TB mortality and 12% reduction in TB
incidence.

3. TB testing
30

The student nurses will conduct Tuberculin test at Bokloaon Elementary School
involving students, ages from 7 to 12 years old. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, guidelines,
the implementation follows strictly the protocols and guidelines by wearing Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE). Waivers are required and needs to be signed by their parents
and to be collected before the screening test.

The participants will then be injected with 0.1 ml of tuberculin purified protein derivative
(PPD) into the inner surface of their forearm. After this, their skin will be observed within 48
to 72 hours on how they reacted with the tuberculin. Their skin reaction will help determine if
they have been infected with TB. Identifying and treating those who are infected but who
have not yet become ill with active TB can prevent the disease thus eliminate the spread of
TB in the community. The children who became positive with the test will be referred to the
appropriate agencies for further treatment and management.

V. Project Beneficiaries:
The following participants are included and as follows:
a. Selected representatives from different Sitio which includes Barangay Health Workers,
Midwives, Teachers, and the Local Council Committee of Health.
b. Elementary students ages from 7 to 12 years old with a total of 80 participants.

VI. Project Background:


Benguet is one of the provinces which has cool climate in the country thus, it is believed
to contribute with respiratory tract diseases and as aggravated by other contributing risks factors.
The tuberculin test helps in detecting primary complex known as Tuberculosis in children. By
being tested, an individual is not just protecting him or herself but also protecting vulnerable
people in the community. If the diagnosis can be made this early, it would prevent it from
spreading and the curable stage nor proper treatment will be started to allow patient of having
higher chances of a permanent cure of such disease.

VII. Project Justification:


This project is intended to promote awareness and increase detection of tuberculosis
among school children and to allow compliance with appropriate treatment.

VIII. Project Objectives

General:
To accomplish the project’s goal of reducing TB-related morbidity and mortality, and to
implement strategies to focus on raising detection, and compliance through active case finding in
line with the Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s) and the Stop TB Strategy by the World
Health Organization (WHO).
Specific:
1. To encourage and inform the community about tuberculosis through health education and
TB awareness campaigns.
31

2. To strengthen the capacity of the available Health Care workers and facilities in the
implementation of the Stop TB programs especially among school age children.
3. To expand case detection, diagnosis, and treatment to ensure high cure rates in the
community.

IX. Project Description:


Although the number of TB cases has been declining since 2019, these remains a higher
burden of TB among the secluded places in the country. It is estimated that childhood TB cases
constitute 9%-12% nationwide.

The BSN 3A-2C students of the University of the Cordilleras- College of Nursing with
the support of the Barangay Boklaoan representatives will provide information regarding
tuberculosis, and help detect TB cases in the community. The local government continues to
support the R.A. 10767 or known as the “Comprehensive Tuberculosis Elimination Plan Act”.
With this, the project will help the community to continue addressing and resolving issues related
to tuberculosis.

These are the following activities that are expected to be implemented during the
program:

1. Health Education

The students will conduct health education to motivate students to improve and maintain
their health. Also, it will help the participants increase awareness of tuberculosis, including the
transmission of the disease, and the importance of early detection and treatment.
2. Learning Enhancement for the Midwives and Barangay Health Workers

The student nurses will conduct a relative workshop to the barangay health practitioners
on the 2017-2022 Philippine Strategic TB Elimination Plan. The program aims to activate
communities and patient groups to promptly access quality TB services by collaborating with
other government agencies to reduce out-of-pocket expenses and expand social protection
programs. This is to ensure cost-effective health services and to motivate Barangay Health
Workers in conducting and sustaining the project until the community will develop independency
and resiliency.

2. TB testing

The student nurses will conduct Tuberculin test at Bokloaon Elementary School
involving students, ages from 7 to 12 years old. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, guidelines
overall, they are strictly followed to abide protocols by wearing Personal protective equipment

XIII. Conclusion
Tuberculin testing is available and provided for free; the only issue is that those living in
remote areas are less likely to access these readily available health services making case detection
and treatment of TB challenging. Most of them are also unaware of what tuberculin testing is all
about, nonetheless, our proposal will help them appreciate it more. MAKE THIS more
organized.
With this project proposal, we were able to present the importance of tuberculin testing
including the causes, clinical manifestations, and management of the primary complex. Hence,
Tuberculin Test is recommended for the purpose of assessing children for TB to identify
opportunities for preventive treatment of TB infection and to detect active TB disease in children
as early as possible to reduce transmission to others. TB medication can be costly thus prevention
is better than cure.
Working together on this project proposal helped us discern the importance of teamwork
and cooperation in carrying out various tasks. Additionally, this project gives us the importance
of tuberculin testing and allow us to discuss the causes and the management of tuberculosis.
TRY TO follow the edited Conclusion above
XIV. Recommendation
These are the identified possible recommendations as follows:
1. Consistent implementation of TB testing to prevent transmission and to provide immediate
nursing interventions in the community.
2. Conduct more training to the barangay health workers to improve capacity in health care
development.
3. Encourage the community to get immunized against tuberculosis by educating them about its
advantages since the BCG vaccine has a documented protective effect against meningitis and
TB in children.
4. How about the TB treatment what can you recommend?

VI. Project background:


Immunization saves lives by protecting an individual, their family, and the community from
infectious diseases. By getting vaccinated, an individual is not just protecting him or herself but
also protecting the vulnerable people in the community. The more people who are vaccinated,
the fewer people will be infected, and the less widely a disease can spread. Pneumococcal
Vaccine also known as Pneumonia Vaccine which protects an individual against a serious and
potentially pneumococcal infection, which is caused by the bacterium streptococcus pneumoniae.
This is given to individuals who are 60 years old and above
For ages five (5) years old and below, PCV13 (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine 13) is given at two
(2) months old with succeeding doses at four (4) months, six (6) months, and between 12-15 months.

Periodic assessment of the high risk, high priority districts or barangay, and mapping of vulnerable
population must be carried out.
39

VII. Project justification: The project is intended to promote awareness of respiratory


diseases and enhance knowledge about vaccination.

VIII. Project objective:

General: To prevent and protect vulnerable individuals from acquiring respiratory tract infection
such as pneumonia and to reduce morbidity and mortality rate.

Specific:
a. To empower the positive implementation of vaccination among thecommunity.
b. To correct the misleading perceptions on the effects of vaccination among all age groups.
c. To strengthen the capacity of the available Health Care workers and facilities in the
implementation of all immunization programs to combat respiratory illnesses which includes
pneumonia.

IX. Project Description: As a health care provider, it is important to empower awareness in the
community regarding respiratory diseases by implementing the program that can correct their
misleading beliefs on vaccines. The students will teach them the transmission of the disease,
importance of immunization and its benefits including the home management for pneumonia

XI. Conclusion:
Vaccination is to obtain immunity without any risk of having the disease. The proposal was conducted
to implement awareness regarding respiratory tract infection and we concluded that this can strengthen
vaccination among the barangay, and to lessen the rate of morbidity. Flu vaccines will not prevent
COVID-19, but they will reduce the burden of flu illness, and deaths on the health care system. Within
this project, we were able to strengthen the importance of Flu vaccine including other respiratory tract
infections like that give potentially serious disease that can lead to hospitalization.

TRY to edit this and make it better. FOLLOW the sample I edited above. A conclusion should have
strong statements.

XII. Recommendations:
The following are the possible recommendations:
1. Consistent implementation of Flu vaccine every year especially for elderly.
2. Conduct more programs to strengthen the community’s immune system like jogging, dancing
and consistent stock of free vitamins for elderly.
3. Information dissemination must be implemented first especially for the far-flung areas in the
community
4. Encourage the people in the community to attend the vaccination programs

V. Project Beneficiary: The project will benefit the adult to senior citizens of Barangay Bokloan,
Kapangan Benguet specifically ages 30-60 years old since they are the target to further educate them
about the risk factors and the preventive measures on hypertension and to lessen the rate of hypertension
as it become one of the leading cause of mortality within the vicinity. In addition, in a study by Dr.
Jennifer B. Taber, adults 30-60 years old are the people that are unable to attend their consultation due to
their occupation, busy lifestyle or old age. This project is done to attend to the needs of the adult with
hypertension as well as to improve their health.

VI. Project Background: Adult to old age is at risk of developing hypertension basing from their
lifestyles and unhealthy eating habit such as excessive salt consumption, a diet high in saturated fat and
trans fats, low intake of fruits and vegetables, physical inactivity, consumption of tobacco and alcohol,
and being overweight or obese. In which if left unmanaged further complications may happen. That is
why educating the people and addressing the importance of consultation regarding this matter is must. As

IX. Project description (HOW WILL THESE PROJECT BE IMPLEMENTED? WHAT


ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED?LISTS THEM AND WHAT PURPOSES?)
As a healthcare provider it is really important to, we must teach and reach out those communities who are
far from us and we should teach them about the management of hypertension. We should teach give them
useful information’s in order for them to gain knowledge and increase awareness about complications of
hypertension. Prevention and management of hypertension can help decrease the mortality rate of the said
Barangay. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight. Aside
from it, considering a life in a rural area is too busy they don ‘t considers health as their priorities that’s
why we as an advocate of health we should embrace the opportunity to teach them so that prevention and
management of hypertension will be implemented.

We decided to get rid of like literally half of the clothes that we own and these are the clothes we don’t
use anymore. So we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to help people in the community.
48

Because nowadays a lot of people really starting to focus on shopping secondhand. We will take photos,
make listings, and we will ship and fulfill those orders. So in order for us to make our modeling more
efficient, we always start by sorting our clothing that we were going to shoot into categories. After we
took photos we import all of our photos in the computer and used it to go through each photo individually
then we post it through social media platforms. We include in the description the size, the brand , the
condition, and definitely noting any flaws. We used our social media accounts as a tool to raise funds. We
will post our old clothes and ask our friends to share it so that more people would know and might be
interested in what we’re selling. ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRESENT IT ACCODINGLY
TO BE MORE ORGANIZED

XI. Conclusion:
During this time when the healthcare worker’s focus is on the current pandemic, it is our utmost
concern to reach out to the community about a different disease that could be proliferating. As skin
diseases are not regarded as serious, it is of utmost importance that community members understand how
dangerous skin problems. Certain skin disorders have genetic predisposition while others are due to other
illnesses, however, it is possible to prevent some skin disorders.

With this 9-day project, we aim to be able to help the community of Barangay Boklaoan to
increase their awareness and knowledge about certain skin diseases and incorporate some skills that
would help them prevent and/or manage it. Pamphlets, visual aids, lectures, and demonstrations will be
done to explain the causes, signs and symptoms, management, and how to prevent the specific skin
problems.

XII. Recommendation
The symptoms and severity of skin problems vary widely. They might be transitory or permanent,
and they can be painless or painful. Some are caused by circumstances, while others may be inherited.
Some skin disorders are trivial, while others are potentially fatal. So, it is recommended that:
1. This project continues until the people in community exhibits being knowledgeable about the
definition, signs and symptoms and managements of skin diseases present in their community
2. Quarterly screening the people who are at risk and people who are diagnosed be done.
3. Get vaccinated for infectious skin conditions, such as chickenpox.
4. Stop smoking and eat a healthy diet.
5. Assist the community to grow DOH-approved herbal plants that could manage skin diseases.

Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION

a. Family, Community, COPAR

Family
The family is the basic functional unit of the society. According to Mondal (2021), the
family is composed of persons who interact and communicate with each other in their social roles
such as husband and wife, mother and father, son and daughter etc. It is considered as the most
important unit of the society as it contributes to child-rearing and place in adulthood (Brown,
2020). They also bear the primary responsibility for the education and socialization of children as
well as instilling values of citizenship and belonging in the society. However, producing children
is not the only function of the family; in societies with a sexual division of labor, marriage, and
the resulting relationship between two people is necessary for the formation of an economically
productive household.

Households in the Philippines are commonly described as extended families. This means
that grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, or even another family lives together in one
household. This is also similar in the community as one of the family customs and traditions.

There are different types of family in the country. Firstly, the conjugal family or also
known as nuclear family that includes only the husband, the wife and unmarried children.
Secondly, the consanguine family or known as the extended family and is consisting of a parent
or his or her children, and other relatives living within one household. Furthermore, the
matriarchal family consist of a mother and her children in which the mother is the head of the
family. It could be that the children are her biological offspring or adopted children as practiced
in nearly every society. This kind of family is common where women have the resources to rear
their children by themselves, or where men are more mobile than women. Another is the
patriarchal family where the male is the head of the family in which the functions are also similar
with matriarchal family.
55

The family members are primarily composed of the father, mother, siblings, and
grandparents. Each member places an important role in the family; such as the father is the
primary provider of the basic needs of the family. The mother is the one who fulfills the main
social role in raising the child and are sometimes referred to as the “ilaw ng tahanan”. The son
and daughter are the ones who helps in the basic functions within the household such as doing
house chores and other social roles. Lastly, grandparents’ help in rearing the child in instilling
good morales, values, and right attitude.

Overall, one of the importance of having a family in the community is to sustain social
development in sharing goals, values, and to maintain long term commitments to one another in
achieving a better society.

Community
Community is a group of people living in the same place that shares a particular
characteristic. Similar with a family, a community shares the same goals, values, and
commitments in achieving a better society. Traditionally, “community” has been defined as a
group that is organized around common values and social cohesion within a shared geographical
location, generally in social units larger than a household. In human communities, intent, belief,
resources, references, needs, risks, and the number of other conditions may be present and
common, affecting the identity of the participant and their degree of cohesiveness. The word can
also refer to as “the national community”.

A community must consist of people that live together in the same area. This includes the
local councils that regulate the policy in the barangay, the households, existing organizations,
sources of income, and the environment. In order to attain sustainability in the community, there
should be utilization of resources, interdependent functions, collaboration, and empowerment.

COPAR
Community Organizing Participatory Action Research (COPAR) is a continuous and a
sustain process of educating the people to understand and develop their critical consciousness,
working with people to work collectively and effectively on their immediate and long-term
problems, mobilizing with people develop their capability and readiness to respond, take action
on their immediate needs towards solving the long-term problems (Vera, 2913). The process and
structure through which members of a community are organized for participation in health care
and community develop activities. Emphasize of COPAR is that community working to solve its
own problems, direction is established internally and externally, development and
implementation of a specific project less important than the development of the capacity of the
community to establish the project; consciousness rising involves perceiving health and medical
care within the total structure of the society.

The importance of COPAR includes the following;


(a) COPAR maximize community participation and involvement;
56

(b) COPAR could be an alternative in situations where in health interventions in public


health care do not require direct involvement of modern medical practitioners;
(c) COPAR gets people involved in selection and support of community and health
workers;
(d) Through COPAR, community resources, are mobilized for selected health services,
lastly COPAR improves both projects effectiveness during implementation.

The COPAR process has four phases which includes;


(a) Pre- entry phase;
Pre- entry phase is the initial phase of the organizing process as the community
organizer looks for communities to serve and help. Activities include preparation of
the institution, site selection, and criteria for initial site selection identifying potential
municipalities, identifying potential barangay, choosing for the final barangay, and
identifying post families.

(b) Entry Phase;


Entry phase is sometimes called the social preparation phase. It is crucial in
determining which strategies for organizing would suit the chosen community.

(c) Organization building phase and;


This entails the formation of more formal structure and the inclusion of more formal
procedure of planning, implementing and evaluating community-wise activities. It is
at this phase where the organized leaders or groups are being given formal or
informal trainings to develop their leadership styles in program management.

(d) Sustenance and Strengthening phase.


This occurs when the community organization has already been established and the
community members are already actively participating in community-wide
undertakings. At this point, the different committees’ setup in the organization-
building phase are already expected to be functioning by way of planning,
implementing and evaluating their own programs, with the overall guidance from the
community-wide organization.

b. Historical Background of the Community

Barangay Boklaoan was separated from its mother Barangay


Taba-ao in December 1969. Its separation was made possible through the efforts of Mr. Luncio
Adnol, and the head teachers of Boklaoan Elementary School who was supported by the leaders
and elders of the barangay. The approval of its mother barangay was made through the Barangay
Charter Law.
As early as 1973, major structures started to be established. The first to be established
was the elementary school, followed by the churches in 1943. Due to the opening of the Boneng
57

mines, which was operated by the Western MINOLCO, the main road and bridges were
constructed in 1956 respectively. Construction and building of structures evolve as population
increases the later years up to date. All of these structures were built for the benefit of the
barangay people.

There were calamities which also struck the barangay. Among them are the bombing of
the Filipino Guerrilla Camp (house of Bio Opdas) by the Japanese Army and the killer quake in
July 16, 1991. Both have caused major damages in the barangay such as destruction of
infrastructure and facilities including the residential houses, and the sources of income.

The barangay people have customary laws and cultural practices such as Cañao’s. This
started as early as the settlers came into this place and still being practiced up to date.

How the Barangay got its name

The story of Barangay Boklaoan started from a story that has been passed overtime. This
started when a prominent rich man who lived in the barrio, who was so wealthy that he had a
flock of cattle. In older days, feast Cañao and was very often as it was a tradition to hold a
“Peshit.” Peshit is a Cañao for the rich people that requires butchering of animals, drinking, and
“dadiw” that last for about three to five days.

One day, the rich man offered a Cañao and he invited his close relatives, friends, and
neighbors. He asked some men to catch cattles and these were let loose roaming in the wide open
pasture land of the rich man. They ran after each one of the cows and hurdled a rope on the horn
of the cow in order not to strangle the animals. But accidentally, the rope was thrown at the neck
of the cow, and the man who caught the animal shouted “Naybukduwan” meaning, it is caught on
the neck.

The barrio remained without a name but since then the residents agreed to name it
“Bokdawan”. However, when it was registered the spelling was changed to “Boklaoan”. For the
residents who are Ibaloi’s pronounced it as Bokdawan while the neighboring barangay who are
Kankana-ey’s pronounce it as Boklaoan. This is the story that happens behind the name
“Boklaoan”.

The top three (3) leading causes of morbidity includes Pneumonia, Hypertension, and
Skin diseases. The main causes of morbidity is Pneumonia with 115 out of 376, with an incidence
rate of 31%. Secondly, Hypertension has an incidence rate of 25%, followed by Skin disease at
22%. The lowest number is Malnutrition at closely 5%.

Morbidity Rate= Number of cases x 100


Total number of cases

e.2 Leading Cause of Mortality

Because of the limited information about the different diseases causing mortality, the data
confirming the leading cause of mortality is not sufficient. Based on the community reported
data, hypertension, pneumonia, and skin disease are among the top three (3) leading causes of
morbidity, that may lead to the causes of mortality.
Mortality Rate= Number of deaths from a specific cause x 100
Total number of deaths in the population

e.3 Leading Cause of Infant Mortality

Inaccessibility of maternal delivery facilities in the community has been said to


contribute with the risks of maternal mortality. With this given data, the evidence may lead to
increase in infant mortality, however, no exact number or results has been gathered to confirm
67

which specific diseases are leading to infant deaths. Sepsis and pneumonia maybe included
among these causes of infant mortality.

Infant Mortality Rate= Number of deaths of infants under


1 year of age among a population in a year
Number of live births in the same year x 1000

e.4 Leading Cause of Maternal Mortality

There are two (2) main reasons that contributes to maternal mortality rate. Firstly, is
having home deliveries due to inaccessibility of hospital and delivery clinics. This usually causes
maternal and child infections. Secondly, is the distance from the barangay clinic which gives
them difficulty in the access of their regular prenatal check-ups. Due to little information
provided, no evident conclusion can give accurate data on the maternal mortality rate.
Maternal Mortality Rate= Number of Maternal death x 100
Number of Live Births

e.5 Leading Cause of Hospital Admission


The top five (5) leading cause of morbidity are pneumonia, hypertension, skin diseases,
gastric diseases, and diabetes mellitus. Any of the following diseases may be the reason for
hospital admission, since no data has been provided to support the exact information on how
many has been admitted to such specific illness.

e.6 Immunization

According to the DOH Immunization Program, communities are mandated to follow the
given implementation guidelines. The Expanded Program of Immunization (EPI) was established
in 1976 to ensure that infants/children and mothers have access to routinely recommended infant
and childhood vaccines. Six (6) vaccine-preventable diseases were initially included in the EPI:
tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and measles.
The Barangay is believed to have the capacity to deliver primary health care services
needed by the community through the presence of the Barangay Health Workers and Barangay
Health Station. However, there are no exact or actual number of individuals who are vaccinated
due to limited sources of raw data. These vulnerable groups includes infants, school children,
pregnant mothers, and senior citizens who are usually recommended to participate with the
immunization programs.
68

e .6 Nutrition Status
The basic staple food for every family is rice, and root crops such as sweet potatoes, and
gabi. Despite the socio-economic status, the family has the ability to feed themselves at least
three (3) times a day. Due to the limited source of data regarding the nutritional status, a
conclusion cannot be derived if there are any cases of malnutrition in the community.

CHAPTER V

Conclusion

Community diagnosis is an essential part of promoting health and wellness in the community. It
gives the healthcare professionals take a look on the overall health status of the community, assess and
broaden their knowledge about it, make diagnosis and formulate a plan of care that involves the
community.
In conclusion, Boklaoan is one of the barangays in the municipality of Kapangan located in the
Province of Benguet with the population of 468 in 1990 to 478 in the year 2015. The population has
gradually increased to 723 in 2021. Their main source of income is agriculture particularly planting rice
and vegetable crops. The six main diseases that was identified were pneumonia which is prompt to many
complications as people fail to utilize health services provided by the Rural Health Unit (RHU) due to
lack of knowledge about the different program, exposure to pollution, engagement to smoking cigarette
and drinking alcohol. Second problem is hypertension (CVD) due which could be exacerbated with
unhealthy lifestyle and limited access to medications. Third problem is skin diseases caused by bacteria,
parasite and fungi which could not be treated immediately because of lack of knowledge on proper
personal hygiene and unfiltered and unsafe water sources for everyday activities. Fourth problem is
gastric diseases resulted from lack of knowledge about unsanitary food preparation. Fifth problem is
diabetes mellitus which could be a comorbidity with hypertension that may increase the risk for serious
complications. Lastly, malnutrition which is manifested by underweight, overweight and delayed growth
of children and adolescents.
Integrated, barriers to healthcare are (but not limited to) limited resources, both the medical
supplies and staff, financial instability, difficulty of transportation due to large distances of houses to the
Rural Health Unit, lack of knowledge of the basic information and skills to manage identified
conditions/diseases, their lifestyle and the environment for their livelihood.
Efforts both from the community and the RHU are needed to efficiently and effectively address
these problems. In connection, student nurses of the University of the Cordilleras have come up with
different project proposals indicated in the preliminaries to address the top three problems which are
pneumonia, hypertension and skin diseases, respectively.
COMMENTS: Read the content of your CDx to come up with a good Conclusion. What highlights were
identified?
Recommendation

Transition of weather and season can cause illnesses as agreed by Vikash Modi, M.D., a Piedmont family
medicine physician. According to him, changes in weather are basically challenges to our immune and
musculoskeletal system. Our bodies get used to a certain climate and it will try to adapt again when there
is a sudden change. Unfortunately, our bodies sometimes have a difficult time adjusting which can trigger
an illness.
With this, the student nurses recommend that the researchers will conduct COPAR in collaboration with
the community, healthcare professional, community officials and also to maximize all the resources
79

available. The recommended activities require active participation and monitoring to ensure its
effectivity. Listed below are the proposed recommendation:
 Health Educative Programs relating to the identified prioritize problem should be conducted to
strengthen the understanding and expand the knowledge of the community about the problem and
the possible interventions to be done. This would be conducted every transition of season to be
able to highlight the effect of seasonal change in development of illnesses.
 Workshops on applying the intervention would also strengthen the involvement of the community
in problem-solving of the identified problems which can help them to be independent in decision
making and in planning efficient actions.
 Pamphlets and posters would also help in reaching out individuals in the community in raising
their awareness with regards to the community’s illnesses and diseases which could also help in
advancing their knowledge on the interventions to be done just in case these diseases occur.
Scheduled clinic visits is also indicated for professional interventions and consultation.
 Active participation in demonstration activities during health teachings is also recommended to
promote community independency. This type of participation also allows the people within the
community to first-hand experience and deal with their present problems.
 Allowing the community leaders and organizations to take initiative in planning projects and
programs. From simple creation of posters and policies regarding improvement of health and
disease prevention especially within the top causes of mortality and morbidity incidences should
be integrated to such.

GROUP A LEARNING INSIGHT

Our community duty has shown our strengths and weaknesses as a group in formulating and

coming up a program that would benefit and help the community. In which their health and wellness

becomes one of our priority. We do not only engage ourselves to educate them but also to communicate

and interact. We have learned a lot as a group by understanding the problem of the community up to

coming up with a solution. This project helped us broaden our knowledge when it comes to helping to

manage and solve problems in the community and the knowledge and information that we have gathered

will surely help us as a nurse in the near future. KINDLY PROOF READ THIS

GROUP B LEARNING INSIGHT

Community diagnosis gives nurses and other healthcare professionals the opportunity and the
foundation to improve and promote the overall health and wellness of the community. This activity helps us
realize the importance of communication, proper dissemination of tasks, and good teamwork to produce
excellent work. Also, having an initiative and positive mindset to start and finish the entrusted activity/task on
time.
85

In this paper, we have identified the problems and the factors that affect the health of the population,
and resources that the community has to adequately address those problems. We learned about the background
of the community, identified and prioritized health problems, and have formulated family nursing care plans
and project proposals. Through this, we were able to enhance our ability to analyze problems with the given
limited data.

Overall, it was still a great learning experience for us despite the fact that we weren’t actually exposed
to the assigned community.

GROUP C LEARNING INSIGHT

Community Diagnosis has the goal of assessing the community's health state, its
dimensions/determinants, and whether the community has met the objectives established forth by health
policies and programs. Things happens beyond our control, one of this is the current pandemic that affects
our activity of daily living we used to be but one thing we know for sure as a health care provider trainee
is that we never stop reaching out those community in empowering health promotion. Barangay Boklaoan
of Kapangan Benguet is the challenging place we need to reach out despite the risk but what is amazing
on our part is we did everything to gather and collect information and be able to formulate community
diagnosis applicable to Barangay Boklaoan through the use of technologies.
86

We don’t deny that information we gathered are limited and we did not have a hand on
experience on the community reality but we do believe that through testimonies, researching and
gathering we can be able come up with a community diagnosis. To the people who help us one way or
another we were able to complete this project and through working as a group that improved our ability to
plan and accomplish tasks more effectively. Furthermore, we learned things on how to prioritize the
problem and how to propose its improvements. We've also learned that community diagnosis is a
foundation for improving and enhancing the health of community members. We've learned that one of its
goals is to identify factors that affect the health of the population and determine whether the community
has the resources to appropriately address such concerns.

Completing this output helped us to understand the importance of time management and
teamwork because everyone was able to provide information by searching for appropriate information
related to the community. As we go on, we were able to acquire knowledge about the community not just
about their culture but also the leading cause of mortality and morbidity that help us identify our main
priority. Also, with the help of the three groups, we learned that communication is important in a way that
we can able to reach out each other’s idea, knowledge and opinion and to build a stronger and effective
teamwork as well as coping with each other’s despite the use of social media only. Even though we were
unable to engage in community immersion in Boklaoan, we already appreciate and feel that we were able
to immerse our self as if we did an engagement.

To conclude, circumstances is never a hindrance if the goal is for the betterment of the society
that we have learned that as health care provider and as student nurses. This would be one of the best
training grounds for us to improve and learn the foundation and its application on the field of community
nursing.
