ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This study enabled the 2nd-year Nursing Students in Group 1-A at

Mindanao Medical Foundation College to have the opportunities to recognize
the different problems and needs of the family allowing development to their
health and living condition. However, all of these could not be done without
the help of those significant people that help us throughout the study. The
Group 1-A of 2nd Year Student in Nursing would like to express gratitude to
the following:
To our Clinical Instructor, Ma’am JoAnn Alcantara, RN, we would like to

express our deep and sincere gratitude for the opportunity given to conduct
this study and for the ongoing patience and support that have guided us.
To our cherished Dean of Nursing, Ma'am Ana Lee Pendon, RN, MAN,
for granting us the opportunity to gain exposure in Barangay Vicente Duterte.
We appreciate her constant encouragement and unwavering support
throughout this experience.
Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to Barangay Vicente Duterte, led

by Barangay Captain Remedios A. Dela Luz and all its members. Their
cooperation and permission were instrumental in conducting our study on one
of their residents.
To our family, classmates, and friends for their warm, positive and
loving support and encouragement, because without these people, our study
would not be a successful one. And of course, praises and thanks to the God
Almighty, for he showers us blessings throughout our case study. For the daily
guidance and safety provided, and for imparting valuable insights that help us
understand the significance of a family.

INTRODUCTION
Family is the fundamental unit of society that works as a strong

foundation providing support and care among family members. Family plays a
crucial role in shaping how our communities and society grow and thrive.
Each family is unique and different from one another which means a family
can be different based on cultural norms, structure, dynamics, and values.
These variations contribute to unique family experiences and relationships,
shaping each family's distinct identity.
In Filipino culture, family plays a crucial role and possesses unique

characteristics compared to families from diverse nationalities. Unlike many
other families that primarily consist of nuclear units, Filipino families have a
broader network that includes extended family members. Consequently, there
is a strong emphasis on fostering relationships with extended family
members, underscoring the significance of these connections similar with
those with parents.(Goyala, 2019).
In a community setting, families can differ based on their backgrounds,

lifestyles, and interactions within the community. Factors like cultural diversity,
socioeconomic status, and community involvement contribute to the varied
nature of families (Li and Qiu, 2018). Moreover, the uniqueness of every
family widely creates differences in strategies and methods on how they
communicate, solve problems, and adapt to challenges. In addition, education
backgrounds, religious beliefs, and traditions further contribute to the diversity
of families in a community.
Although every family is different and diverse, the well-being of every

family in the community generally affects the well-being of the community as a
whole. Barangay Vicente Duterte is a barangay community located near the
5
Tel. No.: (082) 221-6225
coastal area of Agdao, Davao City. The community consists of houses that
are built near each other, pathways that are uneven and narrow, and polluted
shoreside water. These conditions pose challenges to the health and living
conditions of the families residing in the barangay including the N Family
which is the subject of this study. The Community Health Nursing works to
tackle these challenges, focusing on the well-being and health needs of the
community’s family residents.

Table 1.2 Shows the Family Structure
Family structure refers to the composition, organization, and

relationships within a family unit. It encompasses the members of a family in
their positions, relations, interactions, and the overall framework that defines
their household (Pasley & Petren, 2019). The data above shows the age, sex,
civil status, position in the family, relation to the head of the family, residence,
and ethnic background. With the data shown, The N Family is characterized
as both a single-parent and extended family. The widowed mother resides
with her three sons, grandchildren, and a daughter-in-law in the same
household.

1.2.2 DOMINANT FAMILY MEMBERS

In the N Family, Mrs. N holds a dominant role, particularly in
decision-making and managing family matters. However, when it comes to
financial matters and the allocation of monthly expenses, she discusses it with
her second son, J.N. making him dominant also in the decision-making in
terms of finance and expenses. In regards to family health decisions,
everyone can decide on their own except the children.
1.2.3 GENERAL FAMILY RELATIONSHIP

Each member of the N Family interacts and maintains a good
relationship with each other. They communicate effectively and learn how to
deal with problems very well. The family actively practices mutual care,
understanding, and support. Mrs. N welcomes her eldest son and his wife into
the household, knowing their need for support. Moreover, the relationship
among the three sons remains strong, and it has been supportive in
maintaining their mother's well-being and has been providing for the family’s
needs.
1.2.4 ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING

As the head of the family, Mrs. N spends most of the time with her
grandchildren since her three sons and daughter-in-law are working. She
knows how to groom and take a bath herself, however, her grandchildren can
not do it themselves that is why she takes on the responsibilities to groom and
dress her grandchildren as well. She cooks and prepares foods for them and
does most of the household chores. She then feeds her cats that roam around
their house with leftover foods from their meals that they eat.
10
Tel. No.: (082) 221-6225
1.2.4.1 SLEEPING PATTERN

Their two-storey house has one room on each floor and they sleep
using “banigs”. The eldest son, V.N, along with his wife and two children
sleeps on the first floor while Mrs. N and her two other sons sleep on the
second floor. Mrs. N mentions that everyone in the family gets sufficient rest
and sleep, averaging between 8 to 10 hours each night. The exception is her
second son, J.N, who works at a graveyard shift in a call center and sleeps
only every afternoon averaging from 4 to 6 hours of rest.
1.2.4.2 EATING PATTERN

The N family is able to eat three times a day. Every morning, the family
gathers for breakfast before starting their day at work and responsibilities.
Mrs. N is responsible for cooking their meals with the help of B.N, her
daughter-in-law. They have to cook meals that are good for her two sons and
her two grandchildren. The second son rarely eats with them in the morning
due to his graveyard shift work and can only eat with them in the morning
when it is his day-off. Mrs. N cooks fish, chicken, and vegetable dishes most
of the time because she said it is cheap and at the same time nutritious.
However, knowing her condition, she tends to forget to control and limit her
rice intake. On the other hand, if she does not have any time to cook for food,
she will buy their meals at “karenderia”.
1.2.4.3 LEISURE TIME ACTIVITIES

The N Family spends their leisure time in different ways. Mrs. N spends
her leisure time going out to their house and chatting with neighbors. Her
grandchildren enjoy playing outside with other children and also love to play
with their pet cats and dogs. Her sons enjoy playing online games, basketball,
and billiards. They also spend their time together watching television which
serves as relaxation to the whole family.

However, all of them discuss and decide to determine the allocation of

2.4 SIGNIFICANT OTHERS

The N Family’s neighbors and close family friends serve as their
significant others in the community. Though not blood relatives, some
individuals in their neighborhood offer emotional support, creating a sense of
a helpful community for the family. The bonds formed with them are
significant, establishing a framework of mutual assistance and cooperation as
neighbors.
2.5 RELATIONSHIP OF THE FAMILY TO THE LARGER COMMUNITY

The N Family is not active in the activities in the community.. They do
not participate in barangay elections and have not been able to vote.
However, the relationship with their neighbors in the community are on good
terms. We have observed that she has a lot of friends whom she chats with
and talks with in vacant time. She spends most of her time at home doing
household chores or sometimes she walks around the neighborhood and
bonds with her grandchildren. Generally, the family is not active in the
community but at least knows the leaders in their barangay and has close
relationships with neighbors.

Tel. No.: (082) 221-6225
3.2 HOUSING
The N family’s house is situated near the coastal area of Barangay
Duterte, R. Castillo, Agdao, Davao City. Leading to their house, a bridge
made of uneven woods needs to be crossed before stepping into their
household. Their house is a two-floored structure made of planks and wood
and it is elevated from the ground with woods as foundation. The roof is made
of metal, the walls are made from a mixture of wood, plywood, and metal
roofing, and the flooring in both floors are made of planks and plywood. Their
house is a studio type with no private room on each floor where the second
floor serves as their living room, kitchen, and bedroom with the use of an old
mattress and “banig”. The first floor serves as the bedroom of the eldest son
along with his wife and children.
The stairs going up to the second floor are very steep and there is a
long gap between each stair, which makes it difficult to enter into their second
floor. The bathroom is located next to the stairs below, and a bridge needs to
be crossed, which is made of wood that is placed irregularly and it has gaps
which could pose risk for fall. The second floor has two windows, but the first
floor has only one window. They cook their meals with a butane stove near a
sink that is not connected to any pipes and has no drainage system, leading
food scraps to fall directly onto the seashore. The main water source of the
family is from a faucet located outside their house and it is shared by another
neighbor near their household.
3.3 KIND OF NEIGHBORHOOD

The neighborhood of the N family is an area where houses are built
next to each other making it prone to fire hazard. The area has previously
suffered from a fire incident, leading to widespread damage to the people and
their homes. After the incident, the houses in the neighborhood still continue
to be built in close proximity to each other. In addition, the neighborhood is
21
Tel. No.: (082) 221-6225
prone to flooding since it is situated near the coastal area. Also, various
animals like dogs, cats, and chickens freely roam around the neighborhood
where feces can be observed scattered around the area near their household.
3.4 SOCIAL & HEALTH FACILITIES AVAILABLE

The N family’s residence is located near Alterado General Hospital.
The available health facility Barangay Gov. Vicente Duterte Health Center is
located in Del Pilar Extension, Bangsi Street, Agdao, Davao City. The health
center is approximately nine-hundred meters away which is relatively far from
their home. The family also do their check-ups and health-related inquiries in
Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) which is estimated to be 3
kilometers away from their house.
3.5 COMMUNICATION & TRANSPORT FACILITIES

The N Family has a tricycle owned by the eldest son. But they mostly
commute and ride jeepneys when traveling to other places since their son
also uses the tricycle for his work and the tricycle can only accommodate and
is limited only to two people. In terms of communication, Mrs. N. stated that
everyone in the family communicates in Bisaya (Cebuano) while the second
son can communicate both in Bisaya and English. In terms of their means of
communication, the N family utilizes cell phone devices. Mrs. N, however,
does not have her own cell phone and depends on her son's devices.

VALUES, HABITS, AND PRACTICES ON HEALTH MAINTENANCE AND

DISEASE PREVENTIONS
According to Mrs. N, all the children in the family have completed their
immunization. The children were also dewormed last September, 2023.
The family is well-prepared and informed about their health conditions,

aware of the nearby healthcare facilities. They avail the resources coming
from the community health center and avail for their free check-ups. Mrs. N
consistently guides their family on proper medication intake. Moreover, they
use a nebulizer for treatment when experiencing asthma attacks. Mrs.N is
currently taking her maintenance such as Insulin shots every morning daily
and uses glucometer to monitor her blood glucose level due to her Type II
Diabetes.
According to Mrs. N, all members of the family have enough rest and
sleep. They usually do 8 to 10 hours of sleep at night excluding his second
son who works in a graveyard shift as a BPO agent. She stated that there is
no proper routine for their exercise and the only exercise that she can point
out is walking, and it only happens when she walks to their neighborhood and
stores. Watching television and listening to radio serves as relaxation to her
family.

CHAPTER 7
NURSING IMPLICATIONS
Community Health Nursing is a specialized field of nursing that focuses

on the healthcare needs of individuals, families, and communities within a
specific geographic area. According to the American Public Health
Association (2013), Community Health Nursing is the practice of promoting
and protecting the health of populations using knowledge from nursing, social,
and public health sciences.
Nurses engaged in Community Health Nursing play a pivotal role in

health promotion and education, imparting valuable information to individuals
and communities. Community Health Nursing holds significant implications for
nursing education, practice, and research emphasizing proactive healthcare
strategies within communities.
9.1 NURSING EDUCATION

The study provides a practical application of theoretical knowledge. It
serves as an effective teaching tool, allowing health care educators to utilize
the study as a basis during community health teaching discussions. The study
could help nursing students develop and enhance critical thinking skills,
problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to apply theoretical concepts to
clinical practice within the community. It could facilitate deeper understanding
to the nursing students and prepare them to have a valuable foundation in
their education for their future roles in public health.
9.2 NURSING PRACTICE

The study provides a bridge between theoretical knowledge acquired in
educational settings and the practical challenges encountered in community
settings. It provides a real-world context to apply theoretical concepts and
Tel. No.: (082) 221-6225
enhance the decision-making skills of nurses including nursing students. The

study could serve as a continuous learning tool, allowing professionals to
enhance their skills, stay updated on best practices, and adapt to evolving
healthcare situations, significantly contributing to the delivery of patient care
within community settings.
9.3 NURSING RESEARCH

The study provides detailed information and health-related
scenarios. It provides a unique opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding
of the complex dynamic between social, cultural, economic, and
environmental factors of the family. Researchers could utilize the study as a
source for evidenced-based practices, interventions, and as a guide to
formulate effective strategies aiming to address the specific needs and
challenges of diverse communities.

CHAPTER 8
SUMMARY
The N Family is a single parent and extended type of family extending to

having the wife of the son and grandchildren living with them in the same
household. The family are residents of Barangay Gov. Vicente Duterte,
Agdao, Davao City situated near the coastal area. They have a small
two-storey house which has no private room on each floor and it is made of
wood and light materials.
The mother and her grandchildren stay at home while her three sons
and daughter-in-law are working. The first son is working as a Pedicab driver,
the second is a BPO Agent, the third is working as a Hardware staff, and her
daughter-in-law is working as a Canteen staff. The four of them divide their
financial responsibilities in the household but the second son spends the most
money in terms of maintenance that the mother is taking everyday.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The student nurses put up a recommendation to provide assistance for

the family. For them to have knowledge about health and environmental
problems within the family and in the community.
In order to know the health threats and prioritizations, the group

recommends doing follow-up visits. This is to identify and understand the
health needs of each family member.
44
Tel. No.: (082) 221-6225
EVALUATION
The family case study was done after four home visits which spanned for
almost a month of interaction between student nurses and the family. This
timeframe provided us, student nurses, with sufficient opportunity to plan and
implement nursing interventions for the N family. The assessment process
was conducted with efficiency and a systematic approach, involving the
collection and interpretation of data to identify and validate the health and
nursing issues within the family.
Collecting information, building a positive nurse-family relationship, and

ensuring the family's active involvement are crucial. The N family, especially
Mrs. N, have actively participated in achieving the desired outcomes and
activities during the assessment, providing essential information for nursing
history and health needs evaluation. The assessment helped us student
nurses plan for planned activities to promote the family's health. We
conducted home visits, urged the family to maintain a clean environment,
helped the family to understand the impact of health threats in their
surroundings, and the presence of breeding sites that carry vectors. We
helped the family understand and recognize the risks associated with their
health and learned how to properly manage their waste and garbage.
As student nurses, we not only contributed to the immediate well-being

of the N family but also gained valuable hands-on experience in community
nursing and health promotion. This case study exemplifies the significance of
proactive engagement, education, and collaboration in promoting holistic
health within the context of family-centered care.
