Introduction

Community health nursing is a specialized branch of nursing dedicated to addressing the

health requirements of individuals, families, and communities (Community Health

Nursing-Definition, Aims, Objectives, Principles - Nursingenotes.com, 2023). This practice is

oriented towards the promotion and preservation of health, the prevention of illness and injury,

and the provision of care within community settings. In the context of this paper, the focus shifts

to family nursing practice, a subset of community health nursing. In contrast to patient-centered

care, family nursing practice prioritizes providing comprehensive care for the entire family

within the community.

Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory emphasizes an individual's ability to

engage in self-care activities to maintain their health and well-being (Gonzalo, 2023). When

applied to the role of a community health nurse working with families, the nurse plays a crucial

role in assessing and supporting the family's self-care capabilities. The nurse collaborates with

the family to establish achievable health goals, monitor progress, and intervene when self-care

deficits arise, ensuring the family's overall health and well-being are optimized.

Barangay Pampang was the chosen community within Angeles City due to certain areas

within this barangay that are in need of immediate attention concerning health, sanitation, and

environmental conditions. The Berry family consists of a pregnant mother, a father, and three

children - two daughters and one son. As the community duty progressed, the mother welcomed

a newborn baby girl into the family. Guided by Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing

Theory, the student nurses aim to understand the family's health condition and its relationship to

the broader community. They will identify both actual and potential health issues within the

family, determine its level of importance, and develop nursing interventions as well as care

plans.

Nursing Theory

“ Individuals have the ability to care for themselves and that nursing should focus on

assisting individuals in their self-care efforts when they are unable to perform these activities on

their own” - Dorothea Orem’s Nursing theory

As we kept on engaging ourselves in every home visit from September 11 - October 2,

2023, we applied Dorothea Orem’s nursing theory. She was a prominent nursing theorist known

for her Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory (see Appendix ___). This focuses on the idea that every

individual’s responsibility and right is to practice self-care in order to keep themselves well and

to maintain their health (Gonzalo, 2023). Orem's theory highlights primarily on the needs of the

individual, therefore it can be applied to those families that live in depressed or underprivileged

areas by recognizing the interconnectedness of the members and their environment, serving as a

guide for healthcare teams to better support families in improving their health and well-being.

13
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

The core categories of how the group applied these are as follows; (1) Care of the Family

Members: Orem's theory acknowledges that families may experience a variety of stressors and

difficulties in depressed locations, such as financial difficulty, poor access to healthcare, and

social isolation. In accordance with the limitations of their surroundings and resources, this

theory was modified to emphasize the significance of family members looking out for each

other's health and well-being. (2) Assessment of Family’s Self-Care Abilities: First step carried

out is by collecting data about the health status of the Berry Family, whether subjective or

objective, identified health goals within the context of life history, lifestyle and health status. The

group also gathered information about the family’s requirements and capacity to perform

self-care. Then on the second step, which is mainly about the nursing diagnosis and care plans,

the group designed a system that is wholly compensatory or supportive-educative. Two actions

they accomplished were by bringing out a good organization of the components of client’s

therapeutic self-care demands and by selecting a combination of helping methods which will be

effective and efficient in compensating on overcoming the client’s self-care deficits.

14
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

On the last step which is implementation and evaluation, the student nurses executed this

on their termination phase. They have assisted the Berry Family in self-care matters to identify

and describe health and health-related results. This was done by collecting evidence in evaluation

of the results which were achieved against results specified in the nursing system design and

etiology of the prioritized problems directed the actions. This was used by student nurses to

evaluate the capacity for self-care of both the family as a whole and the individual family

members. They have created focused interventions and support plans by identifying areas where

the family may struggle to meet their self-care needs. (3) Education and Encouragement: This

approach emphasized the significance of education and encouragement in giving the family

members the ability to properly carry out self-care tasks. Such individuals might not be aware of

practices that promote health or have limited access to resources. Families can be helped in

learning about self-care techniques and connecting with neighborhood services. (4) Cultural

Sensitivity: It is critical to take cultural influences into account when dealing with families since

they may have different self-care routines and health views. Using Orem's approach,

interventions were modified as well so that they are respectful of the family's values and

traditions and be culturally sensitive. Lastly, (5) Community Collaboration: In depressed areas,

community organizations and support networks can be major sources of help for families. Orem's

theory encouraged the student nurses to collaborate with the community resources to ensure that

families are comprehensively supported to meet their self-care needs.

15
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

This theory is applicable to the Berry Family because it promotes the importance of the

ability of an individual or family to independently maintain a certain quality of self-care that is

therapeutic in sustaining good health (Orem, 2001, p.82). Nurse-client interactions are only

limited for a specific allotted time so it is a must to encourage the clients to be independent

through health education, disease preventions and interventions taught and made for them. Upon

coming across the community-based related learning experiences, these offer numerous

advantages to student nurses by bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical

application. These placements enable students to apply their classroom learning to real-world

healthcare settings, fostering the development of essential clinical skills and enhancing their

confidence.

These experiences enabled this group to identify the different problems they encountered

which can be tied to the application of Orem’s theory. Since Mrs. Strawberry has difficulty not

only in maintaining the health and hygiene of all her family members, but also in the

non-compliance of her family, it is imperative for the student nurses to educate them, including

the children, on how to properly address and take action when it comes to potential or existing

health crises.

Identification of the Case

Every subgroup in the Community Health Nursing I should choose their own index

client. Qualifications considered in choosing are the following: first, currently she must be

pregnant and in legal age which ranges from eighteen years old to forty-four years old. Second,

she can either be married or single but with at least two living children.

Fortunately, the student nurses in this subgroup were able to acquire and gather the

necessary data such as the names of the members of the family of the index client, current

address, pieces of information about home and socio-environment, physical assessments, health

history from the health center’s family record, and both subjective and objective cues on their

existing problem and its nature. While walking on the streets of the barangay, with the guidance

of the respective clinical instructor, Ms. Michelle Laxamana, RN, the student nurses got the

applicable index client for this study. Luckily, Mrs. Strawberry was cooperative from the first

day of home visit until the termination phase.

17

Limitations of the Study

One of the limitations encountered was non-compliance of the eldest daughter,

Raspberry, with the interventions related to poor hygiene. She was not following and not doing

the procedures for maintaining proper hygiene, as the index client verbalized (mother) “Ang

tamad niya kasi talaga sa katawan.”. Also, she was inconsistently present because she was

attending classes during our home visits so it was not possible for the student nurses to fully

evaluate her.

Secondly, the group was not able to interact with the father, Mr. Blackberry, because

every weekday, he is working from 8:00 AM until 5:30 PM, the reason why he is not included in

the cephalocaudal assessments and interviews. Time constraints contributed slight hindrance

with the interventions and evaluations.So as a result, with the faced limitations, the student

nurses were able to meet only the short-term and medium-term objectives, not the long-term

objectives.

Family Background

The Berry Family consists of a mother, father, two daughters, one son and a month old

baby. They are a family with young children. The two daughters are named Raspberry and

Mulberry, a son named Blueberry and a month-old baby girl named Cranberry. This family is

classified as nuclear because they are a group of people who are united by ties of partnership,

18
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

parenthood and consist of a pair of adults and their socially recognized children. Considered as a

patrilocal, they reside in a compound shared with her husband's family located in Brgy.

Pampang, Angeles City, a house owned by Mr. Blackberry. Each house in this compound

belongs to one of her husband's siblings, fostering close ties with his side of the family in which

they were categorized as patrilineal. In contrast, Mrs. Strawberry's family and relatives reside in

Sta. Rita, Guagua, creating a geographical separation between her own roots and her married life.

In their family dynamic, despite Mr. Blackberry being the primary breadwinner, both spouses

follow an egalitarian authority as parents. They are united in ensuring that their children obey

both of them and jointly make decisions regarding their upbringing. They recognize their fair

right to discipline their children, even when faced with disobedience.

Mrs. Strawberry, a 39-year-old married mother, was born on September 27, 1984 in San

Fernando City. She finished elementary school and is currently doing a small time tailoring, a

part-time job. Her workplace is at home because she has her own sewing machine in which she is

able to earn ₱ 600 per month as an income. Her husband’s name is Mr. Blackberry, a 48-year-old

married father. He was born on June 8, 1975 in Angeles City. Mr. Blackberry finished high

school and is currently working as a labor worker in a construction firm. The site depends per

project on where it will be located. As an income, he receives ₱ 13,200 per month.

Raspberry, their first-born daughter, is an 11-year-old child who was born on September

22, 2012 in Angeles City. She is currently in sixth grade in Pampang Elementary School.

Exploring their family history through a genogram, the first generation: Mrs. Strawberry's

parents and her husband. Tragically, on her husband's side, both of his parents have passed away.

His father's demise was attributed to a stroke, specifically a heat stroke caused by excessive heat

exposure, while his mother succumbed to diabetes mellitus, a condition that raised concerns

about potential diabetes carriers within the subsequent generations. On Mrs. Strawberry's side,

her father succumbed to pneumonia, but her mother continues to play a vital role in supporting

the family. Moving to the next generation, Mrs. Strawberry's husband, being the youngest, has

one sister and one brother, while Mrs. Strawberry herself came from a larger family, including

five sisters and two brothers, and she is the 5th child. Sadly, one of her sisters lost her life due to

kidney failure, a condition believed to be triggered by certain medications or toxins that

disrupted normal kidney function. Despite varying family sizes, they all maintain a harmonious

relationship. Mr. Blackberry and Mrs. Strawberry, being married together, are parents to three

daughters and one son. The genogram illustrates that, despite the health challenges and losses

within their respective families, the bonds connecting these generations remain harmonious.

Socio-Economic and Cultural Differences

Information was gathered from Mrs. Strawberry to gain insight into the Berry Family's

socioeconomic background. Their monthly income, totaling ₱ 13,800, comprises the combined

earnings of Mrs. Strawberry (the index client) and Mr. Blackberry.

In terms of expenses, the Berry Family shares certain bills with their compound

members. They each contribute ₱ 700 for the electric bill and ₱ 500 for the water bill every

month. Additionally, they allocate approximately ₱ 300 for laundry and bath essentials. For food,

they spend ₱ 9,000 each month, as they allocate ₱ 300 per day. They also budget ₱ 450 monthly

for potable water and ₱ 1,000 for Baby's essentials, including diapers and Wilkins.

Furthermore, the Strawberry household has two members attending school who receive a

daily allowance of ₱ 55 each, totaling ₱ 110 per day and ₱ 2,200 for twenty school days in a

month. When all these expenses are combined, the household's average monthly expenditure

amounts to ₱ 14,150. Consequently, they face a monthly deficit of ₱ 350 to cover their essential

needs.

Home and Environment

Structure and its Environment

The Berry family’s home is not too far from the barangay health care center of Pampang.

The walk starts on the first street to the left of the health care center where the tricycles for

commuting are parked. With only a few steps, take the first turn to the left on a one-way narrow

road that can only accommodate small vehicles. One must be careful because there are unleashed

dogs roaming around the area. From here, it only takes a few seconds to reach an even narrow

path of dirt between two houses on the right side of the road which leads to a compound where

the Berry family lives (see Appendix F.1.1.).

Upon arrival, the immediate ground surrounding the compound is also dirt which makes

it hard to maintain the cleanliness of shoes while walking. The abundant clothes surrounding the

Berry family’s house that were left hanging to dry were also impossible to miss. There are also

two bathrooms and a sink to the right of the entrance to the compound, separate from the house

as well as garbage containers to the left of the entrance for communal use which are sometimes

unkempt or unsanitized. With further inspection, a sewing machine can be seen next to the door,

along with a few other belongings, which the index client, Mrs. Strawberry, uses to pass time and

make some money. Pigeon coops can also be seen near the house and the roofs of the bathrooms

(see Appendix F.1.2.).

The house that they live in is approximately 11.83 square meters in size and has two

windows. However, one of them is usually blocked by a curtain and is rarely used. There is no
26
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

ceiling and the roof is only made up of metal panels supported by wood. The walls are made of

hollow blocks put together by cement and are unsmoothed, making its inhabitants prone to

scratches. On the other hand, the floor is smooth and made of only cement.

Upon entry, one would immediately notice that the bedroom and kitchen are merged into

one room. Additionally, all of their belongings are arranged next to the walls so there is room for

the Berry family to move about in the center. However, their belongings look unkempt and the

corners and roof have accumulated dust (see Appendix F.1.3.). The north side of the bedroom

consists of three large cabinets for their clothes and personal belongings as well as an additional

cabinet for utensils and ingredients for cooking. Next to them is a small table to place

tupperwares and sewing necessities. Above the table is a plastic bag for food waste, full and

infested with small red ants, hanging on the wall (see Appendix F.1.4.a and F.1.5.). On the south

side, there is an old TV, piles of laundry, a small statue of Mary, a small electric fan, pillows and

folded blankets, wires, and other belongings (see Appendix F.1.4.b.). On the west side there are

three stacks of damaged twin sized foam used for sleeping that is placed on the floor right below

an open window with a curtain (see Appendix F.1.4.a. And F.1.4.b.). The kitchen, on the other

hand, is on the east side of the room. It has a small stove, kitchen wares, large jugs and

containers for water and rice, a gas tank, toiletries, rack of footwear, trash bin, and more laundry

(see Appendix F.1.4.c.).

Kind of Neighborhood

To reach the compound where the Berry family resides, one must pass through a path of

dirt between the two houses seen from the street. Near the entrance on the right are the

bathrooms and the sink which they share with others who reside in the same compound. On the
27
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

left are smelly sacks or containers full of garbage and discarded food infested with flies and

maggots which are collected once a week every Tuesday morning (see Appendix F.1.6.). There

are also bird cages for pigeons near their home next to the garbage and above the bathroom that

are unsanitary but our client said that it is cleaned by the owner depending on what day it needs

to be cleaned (see Appendix F.1.2. and F.1.7.).

Adequacy of Living Space / Floor Area

The room has 11.83 square meters of floor space which is extremely inadequate for 2

adults and 3 children. Their area does not meet the recommended space requirement of 15 square

meters for one adult person, especially because the area occupied by their personal belongings is

also calculated within the total floor space of 11.83 square meters.

Solution for actual floor space

Solution for recommended floor space

1x0m2

Adequacy of Ventilation

The family mainly uses the door and the big window on the west side of the house,

receiving a 25.83% of ventilation which is adequate for the floor area they occupy. It

significantly reduces the heat trapped inside the house and may help prevent accumulation of too

much dust.

Food Sources, Storage & Cooking Facilities


28
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

In their household, the index client is responsible for buying food which they get from

stores near their home, but when the family has the ability to spare more money, the index client

goes to Pampang’s palengke. The family also grows a papaya tree behind the house and uses its

fruits for cooking. Although the family does not usually prepare their own food, they have the

basic cooking utensils stored in a cabinet and under the stove including metal pots and spatulas

which appear to be clean. However, the kids occasionally place objects inside the cabinet such as

super glue or trash that may contaminate the clean utensils. The family also has knives which

appear to have small spots of rusting, stored on a blocked window sill located above the stove

that is rusty and stained. On occasions in which they do have food to store, they place it among

the food seasonings they have on the top most section of the same cabinet as the cooking

utensils. In their case, since they usually do not have left over food, a refrigerator is unnecessary,

but the index client may ask her sister in-law a favor in case she is in need of it.

The family’s main water source comes from the communal sink and toilet facilities which

is safe so long as they acquire it directly from the faucet. Any water that is left in the pale should

be considered contaminated because it is exposed to an open environment accessible to

irresponsible users, outsiders, animals, flies, and dirt. For potable water, they purchase those blue

5-gallon jugs of mineral water for the whole family as well as 1 liter bottles of Wilkins for the

index client and her baby which are always secured with covers.

Toilet Facilities

The Toilet facility is found outside the compound in one of the bathrooms. They use a

toilet bowl without flush in which they compensate with a pail of water and tabo. The walls and

the corners on the compound where water usually stays after a shower are covered in moss or
29
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

lumot and since the surrounding area is made of dirt instead of concrete, the floor is sometimes

muddy. It usually depends on the users whether the toilet facility remains sanitary because

everyone is responsible for cleaning after use. In some cases, a user is too lazy to clean the area,

leaving it dirty. Aside from the facility’s general appearance, the water that comes out of the

faucet is clean. But after it reaches the pail, it is exposed to multiple contaminants as the door is

usually left wide open, making it accessible to non-residents of the compound, animals, dirt, and

other environmental factors. The residents themselves may even leave used or contaminated

water in the pail.

Social and Health Facilities

Based on the records, the family is identified and acknowledged as a permanent resident

of barangay Pampang. The community presents a variety of facilities available at walking or

short travel distances such as the health center, pharmacies, elementary and high schools,

hospital, barangay hall, public market, sari-sari stores, playground and basketball courts which

are well utilized by the family except for the church because of the inability to attend due the

fatigue of pregnancy and postpartum on top of other household responsibilities. Nevertheless,

they listen to the teachings through the loudspeaker which reaches their house. Outside, near the

borders of Pampang are the police and fire stations which are currently of no use to them but are

still accessible for their use if needed. Occasionally, the community holds events for the

enjoyment of its residents such as pageants, basketball tournaments, and pulosa. The family does

not usually participate in these events but their children sometimes watch them. In terms of

social support, the clients have not received help from anything beyond the barangay level which

30
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

included money and food during the pandemic, as well as free medicines, vitamins, feedings and

deworming.

Communication and Transportation Facilities Available

Pampang is a well developed area with fairly smooth concrete roads that make travel

using vehicles easy. The available modes of transportation in the barangay are jeepneys and

tricycles. The father of the house usually uses a bicycle to go to work while the rest of the family

usually stays within the barangay. But when the index client needs to buy groceries, she usually

uses a tricycle. Telecommunication and internet access is also fast and available in the area. But

in the case of the client’s home and its vicinity, although the index client testifies that the signal

within their house is “okay”, the group always receives one to two signal bars within the area and

is sometimes unable to access online documents with data. Nonetheless, internet access, text, and

calls are possible but may be slow. Since the family does not have a landline or an internet router,

the family loads their SIM cards with credit to register to promos.

In the heart of Angeles City, within the thriving community of Barangay Pampang,

resides the Berry family. This barangay, one of 33 that make up the city, is situated in the Central

Luzon region of the Philippines. According to the PhilAtlas 2020 Census, there are 24,653

residents residing there, constituting approximately 5.33% of the total population of the city.

Positioned at an estimated elevation of 116.2 meters (381.2 feet) above sea level,

Pampang is surrounded by neighboring barangays: Pulung Cacutud to the north, San Agustin to

32
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

the east, Santo Rosario to the south, and San Jose to the west. The place provides a wide range of

facilities and services that are easily available to its residents, including the Berry family.

Considering the 12 elements that outline what constitutes a healthy community, the Berry

family finds themselves in a community that offers a comprehensive and easily reachable

environment. In terms of access to care, the ecomap illustrates the family's utilization of services

through green circles and connecting lines. The Pampang Barangay Health Center and Ospital

ning Angeles are shown to be fully utilized into their healthcare routine, indicating that these

facilities are preferred and actively used by the family.

On the other hand, various hospitals in the Angeles City area, including PRI Medical

Center, Angeles University Foundation Medical Center, Holy Family Medical Center, Dr.

Armando L. Garcia Medical Center, St. Catherine of Alexandria Foundation & Medical Center,

Angeles Medical Center, Inc., Sacred Heart Medical Center, and The Medical City Clark, are

represented by red circles and a line. This signifies that these hospitals are not part of the family's

healthcare choices. It's clear that the family selectively opts for the Pampang Barangay Health

Center and Ospital ning Angeles, reflecting a distinct preference for these specific healthcare

providers.

Given that the Berry family already owns a house, there are two affordable housing

options within Angeles, namely Carmenville and Deca Homes. However, they are depicted in

red on the ecomap, indicating that the family is not making use of these housing options.

33

HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

Regarding community safety, the family slightly utilized Pampang Barangay Tanod since

it is conveniently located in close proximity to them. The index client is aware of the nearby

police station and fire station, but, currently, they do not make use of these services.

In the context of economic opportunities, the ecomap reveals that Mr. Blackberry is

employed in construction in the Carmenville area, while Mrs. Strawberry engages in home-based

tailoring with a focus on small stitches. Both of these occupations are highlighted in green,

indicating that the parents actively utilize them as sources of income. Moreover, there are two

more economic opportunities, Rockwell Construction and SuperL, that are in alignment with

their respective occupations. However, these are represented in red, indicating that Mr. and Mrs.

Berry are not currently availing themselves of these specific opportunities.

Raspberry, a fifth-grade student, and Blueberry, who is in the third grade, both attend

Pampang Elementary School. Although there are numerous schools in the vicinity, including

high schools and colleges, they are not currently being utilized by the family.

In terms of environmental quality, the family makes full use of waste disposal available

within their compound.

When it comes to accessing quality and affordable food, the family primarily buys at the

Atchi Linda Store for their grocery needs, including freshly cooked "lutong-ulam," as per the

verbalization of the index client. They also make limited use of other food sources, such as the

34
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

Pampang Wet Market, Anecia Mini Mart, and 7/11, with the latter being particularly favored by

Raspberry. The rest of the food options available are not being utilized by the family.

The family makes full use of the community design provided by Barangay Pampang to

meet their various needs and preferences within the neighborhood. This utilization encompasses

a range of resources and services offered by the community.

Blueberry and Mulberry engage with the parks and recreation facilities, which include a

barangay-covered court and a playground. The family also makes limited use of the Sto. Nino

Chapel and SM Telabastagan. However, they do not utilize other options, such as the Holy

Rosary Church, the various malls in Angeles City, and Astro Park.

When it comes to social and cultural cohesion, the family engages and integrates with the

Pampang community and their neighboring residents.

The family utilizes the Barangay Pampang Hall as a resource, demonstrating their

involvement, primarily when it comes to local community matters. However, they do not make

use of Angeles City Hall for similar purposes.

The family has a range of transportation options around the Angeles City, which

encompass airplanes, taxis, buses, jeeps, and tricycles. While they only make limited use of

jeeps, they fully utilize tricycles for their transportation needs.

Family Culture, Values, Belief and Practices

The culture of the Berry Family encompasses the shared values, beliefs, and practices

that shape the dynamics within a family unit. These elements form the foundation for how a

family interacts and operates. The facet of this family culture is Mrs. Strawberry, she places great

importance on her family's health. She mentioned that they have a good immune system

(subjective) because all of them received “bakuna” when they were kids. She said that her

children received these vaccinations through the barangay health center, highlighting the role of

community health practices in maintaining their well-being.

Next, for the family's nutrition and eating habits, they present a noteworthy concern. As

per the index client’s verbalization, “Ayaw nila ng mga gulay, hindi sila kumakain. Pero kapag

nagluto ako ng gulay, ako lang at panganay ko ang kumakain.” According to the cephalocaudal

assessment, every member has normal BMI except for the son, Blueberry. Their dietary pattern

predominantly consists of eating rice in every meal (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) and adding

whichever is available that they could get from the sari-sari store of Aling Linda including

canned foods, eggs, ready-to-eat foods from the carinderia.

94
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

As for their religious belief and practices, these hold a significant place in the Berry

family's life. Since Mrs. Strawberry's pregnancy, their ability to attend weekly masses has been

constrained. However during Sundays, they could hear the priest from the church to their house

which is only one block away from their compound. They pray the rosary before bedtime, attend

crusades or parades and listen to bible readings, bring a blessed “palaspas” and put on their

windows during Holy week. With regards to health, as per the index client, whenever their

family member is ill, they lift it up to the Lord and pray for recovery first before seeking

appropriate medical help because of financial constraints.

The identity of the family is also strongly influenced by cultural practices. They have

diligently preserved numerous Filipino cultural traditions, including the respectful use of "po"

and "opo" in their daily interactions, which demonstrates their dedication to Filipino etiquette

and values. Additionally, they actively engage in the festivities of their local community by

participating in barangay fiestas.

Social collaboration and communication also play roles in the Berry family’s life. Mrs.

Strawberry mentioned that whenever she gets bored, she goes to her husband’s cousin’s house to

have conversations with the cousin’s wife and cousin’s wife’s sister. The house was two blocks

away from their house. In addition to that, she communicates as well with her husband’s relatives

in the compound. That is how she maintains her social being aside from their religious practices.

For marriage, according to Mrs. CB, her preference is love marriage which succeeds in a

relationship. Mr. AB worked together with Ms. CB’s cousin and that is the reason how she knew

him. Sharing their lives and dreams since September 22, 2011, they took a significant step

95
School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY

forward by officially becoming husband and wife on January 16, 2022. Since they got engaged

through love marriage, they have a deep mutual understanding with each other.

Regarding the complexity of gender expression, the index client stated that her

acceptance of gender expression is dependent on their appearance and beliefs. According to the

client, a person's expression of their gender or sexuality should align with qualities such as being

"desente" and "makadiyos" despite expressing a different gender or sexuality form what is

expected of their biological sex.

Finally, when delving into the index client's view on supernatural beliefs and practices a

question asked about whether the index client believes in supernatural creatures, she stated,

”maniwala ku karen kasi ing tatang ku manakit ya. Tutu la reta”. She also mentioned

superstitious practices “istung measug ka king metung a tau nung emu bali nung ninu ing meg

asug keka. Itang malang pilukasan mu tugtugan me king danum a mapali”. This responses shows

enduring significance of the supernatural in her life.
