Chosen Problem: Health Practices Among Residents In The Community Setting

Rationale:

Health practices are actions intended to protect, promote and maintain optimal
health & well-being. In a community, its residents would usually share similarities in
terms of their practices & knowledge about health maintenance & disease prevention.
The understanding of individual knowledge of the disease and health behavior plays an
important role in disease prevention, and in improving occupational health and safety
(Arbiol, J. et al., 2016). Furthermore, according to Maclean et al. (2004), health practices
have an impact on subjective views of health and different health outcomes for
individuals and families.

In Tacao Island, cervical screening is not practiced by residents as a result of

knowledge deficit about cervical diseases (Imoto & Llamas-Clark, 2020). Moreover, in
communities in Batangas, the overall wellbeing of women giving birth, and local
practices of care during pregnancy and childbirth continue to be important today. For
these women, the policy change prohibiting home births, which altered the hilots'
(TBAs') standing in the community, did not adequately address the problems with
maternal healthcare. (Landicho, 2022). In addition, Cha (2020) acknowledged a positive
correlation between health-promoting behavior and the quality of life among elders in
South Korea. With that said, numerous research shows health practices affecting health
outcomes of different communities. This calls for a more detailed approach towards
assessing the health practices of rural communities.
 This title was formulated to identify the different health practices of the people in
the community of Hacienda Carmen, Brgy. Granada, which can be a contributing factor
for the possible occurrence of such diseases, and health problems. Health practices
composed of subunits such as water sanitation, waste segregation, reproductive health
care, nutrition, vaccination, and others. Moreover, the result of this study will benefit the
people in the community in terms of improving and making appropriate changes in their
practices towards health maintenance & disease prevention.
