CHAPTER I
 INTRODUCTION

The family is the basic and essential building blocks of societies, families have a crucial role in

social development. They bear the primary responsibility for the education and socialization of children as

well as instilling values of citizenship and belonging in the society.

In a community we can find a lot of families and a lot of problems also. Problems like diseases

which are categorized by communicable and non-communicable, so a nurse must make an action to

prevent the problems they might be encountering. Knowing that not all people in a certain community are

financially capable and educated. Large number of people has a low-level education. Problems are often

unidentified because they lack knowledge about the signs, symptoms, the nature, and treatment of a

particular diseases.

A nurse exposed in the community learns how to interact and adapt to different kinds of people.

The family is considered as the basic unit of care in the community health nursing. It is in the family where

a member develops his health values, beliefs and practices. The family is a major influence in the health

behaviors of an individual. With this, it is important that families in a community are aware of the things

and practices pertaining to their health. It is apt to say that community health nursing has a big role in the

nursing education. It is in the community where the student nurse learns nursing apart from the hospital

setting as she was exposed to different level of orientation. It is in the community where the saying

“nursing is an art” can be applied as a student nurse tries to give quality service using the available

resources in the health center.

So, Community Health Nurse makes action to educate people by helping them identify their

needs, identify problems in their family and render their service. Nurses in the community often give

health teachings, preventive measures and enhances the people’s knowledge about health promotion

and disease prevention.

This case study is focused on one of the family in Barangay, Villapaz Naguilian Isabela. The

Bendillo family is the one involved in this case study. We will be encountering health problem and

foreseeable crisis present in their family.

 CHAPTER II

OBJECTIVES:

FAMILY STRUCTURE, CHARACTERISTICS AND DYNAMICS:

Table 1 one shows the list of family members of Bendillo family. The Bendillo family is a nuclear

family composed of Mr. Efren Bendillo and his wife Mrs. Marcelina Bendillo they are married and had a

good relationship for almost 20 years. They were blessed with one daughter. They are considered as

patriarchal family since that Mr. Efren Bendillo is the head of the family. Since that Mr. Medes only

reached High School, he works only as Driver, the only thing he mastered and Mrs. Marcelina Bendillo

reached College graduate and got the teacher license, a housewife and took care of her 1 daughter. Mrs.

Marcelina Bendillo was given 20k pesos every month.

The Bendillo family is classified as a nuclear family. A nuclear family is a conventional family

structure consisting of a father, a mother, and a kid. This sort of family structure is prevalent in practically

all countries, although the duration of this structure varies even within the same community. The nuclear

family may be a caring setting for raising children if there is enough affection, time spent with children,

emotional support, minimal stress, and a secure economic situation.

The Bendillo family resides in Purok Villapaz Naguilian, Isabela. They have started living there

since June of 2008. They were a family whose resident is always changing. Mr,and Mrs. Bendillo go hand

in hand in terms of decision-making. They consult each other in terms of planning and budgeting for their

family. They discuss matters concerning their children’s schooling financially and with regards to the

emotional problems or aspects within the family. When problem arises, they make sure that both will

handle and resolve the issue. However, Mrs. Bendillo is more dominating when it comes to health issues.

She ensures that she will adhere to the prescribed regimen in the event of specific health problems. She
is more conscious of health issues than Mr. Bendillo, of course, since she believes it is her responsibility

as a mother. These health concerns include vaccines and proper nutrition.

Socio-Economic and Cultural Characteristics

The `Bendillo family’s main source of income is coming from Mr. Efren Driver and Mrs. Marcelina

as a teacher. Mr. Efren earns about Php 5,000.00 a month and Mrs Marcelina earn 20k a month. Since

Mrs. Bendillo is teaching at home due pandemic, she is in charge of the house and in taking care of their

daughter. Mrs. Marcelina budgets the money in terms of food, education and miscellaneous where

clothes, shoes and slippers comes in. Out of Mr. Efren earnings, most of it goes to the family’s budget for

food. The education of their daughter is free, and they can teach her from their house, so only some

school supplies are being bought.

With Mr. Efren's monthly salary and Mrs. Marcelina's assistance, the family is able to purchase

anything they like, as well as all they need to survive. She also advised the student nurse that they had

financial assets available in the case of emergency. In the case that the money they have is insufficient,

they often borrow money from their family.

Mr. Efren is a driver who works from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Mrs. Marcelina's employment requires

her to remain at their home due to the epidemic. She is a normal housewife in that she is shown washing

clothes, preparing meals, sweeping the yard, and keeping the home tidy. After-school work. Mrs.

Marcelina stated that they had stopped attending church since the epidemic began, citing the necessity to

protect their family from the illness.

The Bendillo family's significant people include their relatives and a few neighbors. They

usually seek refuge with their families when confronted with challenges and troubles. Mrs. Marcelina also

verified her neighbors' willingness to assist and welcome them.

The family has yet to participate in community activities and event during fiesta, parties and

carnivals. since they are long live in the place. The Bendillo Family barely enjoys the community
resources since the community itself lacks resources. The family uses the NAWASA electric water supply

as their means of water source in washing their clothes and as clean water to drink.

Home and Environment

The house is made of Concrete they have tiles a ground as the flooring in the

whole house. They only have 2 bedroom and 2 beds., Mr and Mrs Bendillo occupies the first

bed, and the daughter is in the second room. They have small kitchen with their dining area,

and They usually store their foods in a covered plate placed on top of the table. The comfort

room located at center of the bedroom so that they easily go there. They used kettle and

casserole in cooking their food. Their clothes are just hanging around at the outside of their

house. They get their water supply in NAWASA. Mrs. Bendillo did not know the exact

measurement of their house. In order for the house to be considered as adequate, the total floor

area should be divided among the total members of the family, and each should at least have

10.5 m2. They used karamba, waterjag and bottled container in storing their water. They drink

water directly without boiling. They usually packed their garbage in an open receptacle and

dispose in the garbage dump in their block. Sometimes they burn their garbage backyard of

their house. They also use cellphone as a mean of communication and listen to TV for other

news and information. They have own transport vehicle but uses wave as mean of

transportation. They dont have any health facility like first aid kit inside their house.

The home has just eight windows yet provides ample ventilation for the household. Mrs.

Marcelina explained to the student nurse that their home is often "Fresh air," since it is next to

the farm and the air flows freely into and throughout the house. The family's drainage system is

a covered kind, which means that the drainage runs continuously. This indicates that the
family's health is secure. The family consists of a single cat, a dog, and a chicken. Vegetables

have been grown around the home.

The result and output of the Bendoillo family's care were excellent. They cooperate and

adhere to the proposed strategy, which aims to enhance their living conditions while reducing

elements that may constitute a health risk to the person. Preventative actions were implemented

with the assistance of the family. I believe that their attitude toward a positive cooperation in

health promotion and disease prevention will result in a positive outcome for their health and

well-being. Although their income may seem to be or is not yet achieved, they have an excellent

coping mechanism that may and will influence them less soon. A family of medium size that has

a low income yet is an active participant in health care services. In this activity I understood and

acted with the family to resolve the perceived issue as a priority in promoting health and

removing the potential source of disease. I also spoke with the family some strategies for

improving their lifestyle and using neighborhood services. Additionally, I learnt the value of

effective communication. Without effective communication skills, the student nurse will be

unable to create rapport with his or her client, influencing the assessment process, making issue

identification, and prioritizing more difficult, so limiting the amount of care the family may get.

The most critical characteristic of a student nurse is initiative, time, effort, and patience; without

these characteristics, you will be unable to gather all the necessary information. Additionally, the

client's cooperation and compliance are critical ingredients for the success of creating a family

case study.
