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

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

IX. Project Description: The skin protects the body from the external environment, especially from
harmful microbes like viruses and bacteria. Damage in the skin can cause different infections and
diseases. However, to be able to prevent skin diseases, recognition of it is vital. Health education
in protecting skin integrity and managing skin diseases can help the community to lessen or
eliminate the occurrence of different skin diseases and related infections. DESCRIBE THE

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
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.
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.
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 main source of income is agriculture particularly planting rice and vegetable crops.
Some of them engaged into local business, tourism and labor works.

Pneumonia Hypertension Skin Disease Gastric Diabetes Malnutrition
(CVD) Diseases Mellitus
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%.
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
which specific diseases are leading to infant deaths. Sepsis and pneumonia maybe included
among these causes of infant 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

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.

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

APPENDIX C
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.

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.
APPENDIX D
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.
