Chapter I- Introduction

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY


The World Health Organization (WHO, 1958) defined health as “ a state of
complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease
or infirmity.” In community health nursing, different levels of clientele are considered:
individual, family, and community (Nies & McEwen, 2020). As such, it is a complex,
multidimensional system that covers a wide scope, ranging from the individual to the
whole population. Communities and populations consist of families, which in turn,
consists of individuals, who together affect the health of the community (Barnes et al.,
2020). Because of its dynamic relationship, health determination starts from an
individual’s perspective on health, which contributes to the overall community health.
Thus, contextual factors such as socioeconomic determinants and other health
determinants of how and where they were born, raised, and shaped by their
environment, must be considered especially given the prevalence of exposure to
population health over the lifetime (Arah, 2009).

In the individual setting, health is known as a primary right–that is, having access
to health regardless of race, religion, political belief, and economic or social condition. An
individual’s well being is determined by biological and behavioral characteristics, physical
and social environment, and health policies and interventions (Nies & McEwen, 2020). At
the basis of physical, mental, and social well-being which is equivalent to human health,
is respect for human dignity (Muntean et al., 2013). For nurses to be able to conduct an
individual health assessment, they must consider respect for dignity, which dictates how
we treat our patients. In addition to that, we must provide holistic care and see to it that
the client’s health needs and health problems will be identified. The results of the
assessment reflects the condition of a person’s body, mind, and spirit—that is, the
person’s capability to do activities of daily living (ADLs) without any difficulty. Moreover,
this reflects the person’s mental and emotional capabilities to adjust to stress that might
come in life. As a student nurse, it is vital that we consider these individual aspects
which make up the basic unit of society—the family.

A family is an integrated, socially engaged, and mutually dependent collection of


individuals. The family interacts with one another, and one member's health problems
affect the entire family. The family takes care of each other's health and carries out
various duties to ensure the family to maintain their functioning at the optimal level.
When a nurse attends to two or more people living in the same home, they are treating
4
the family as the patient. The family is regarded as the fundamental unit of care in
community health nursing since the majority of people are part of a family and their
home environment has a significant impact on their health. On the other hand, a
community is referred to as a collection of families that share common values, beliefs,
interest, goals, and objectives within their system. This social system includes the health,
family, economic, educational, religious, welfare, political, recreational, legal, and
communication system. There is a pattern of interaction wherein it is adapted by the
families within the community that shape their relationships, interest, and
interdependence (Nies & McEwen, 2020).

Community health nursing plays a crucial role in providing healthcare services to


individuals and families within local communities. This specialized field is dedicated to
promoting and preserving community health through a range of preventive and
therapeutic interventions, one of which is conducting home visits. (American Nurses
Association, 2013). The practice of home visits is integral to community health nursing,
involving healthcare professionals delivering services in the familiar setting of patients'
homes. This approach is grounded in the philosophy that health is shaped by various
factors, encompassing social, economic, and environmental conditions (Stanhope &
Lancaster, 2016).
The significance of home visits in community health nursing lies in their capacity
to provide personalized and holistic care. By conducting assessments and interventions
within the patient's home environment, we acquire valuable insights into the social
determinants of health, allowing them to customize care plans accordingly (Kaakinen,
Coehlo, Steele, Robinson, & Tabacco, 2018). Furthermore, home visits contribute to the
establishment of trust and rapport, fostering improved communication and collaboration.
This patient-centered approach enhances individuals' engagement in their healthcare,
leading to more favorable health outcomes (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016).

FAMILY PROFILE

The Lucky family, originally from Dologon, has established residence in Purok 11 for the
past three years. They are a nuclear family of three and they adhere to the Baptist faith.

The wife, LS. L., is 31 years old. Despite being a college graduate, she has chosen
to dedicate her time as a housewife. LS.L. plays a crucial role as the financial manager
and decision-maker of the family, prioritizing the care of their child. The husband, JS. L.,

5
is 28 years old and holds a high school education. Primarily employed as a laborer, JS. L
engages in various tasks like cleaning and carrying heavy equipment wherever
opportunities arise. His work is diverse, occurring in different locations without a stable
workplace. As the family's primary breadwinner, JS. L provides essential financial support
to his family despite facing a lot of challenges and difficulties. Their only daughter, SS.
L., is an 8-year-old student at Dologon Elementary School, currently advancing through
Grade 3. Her education reflects the family's commitment to securing a promising future
for their daughter.

Despite facing uncertainties, the Lucky family maintains a resilient stance within
their community. LS. L’s role as the family's financial manager and JS. L.’s versatile
employment exemplifies their dedication to securing financial stability. SS. L., the
youngest member, adds a hopeful dimension as she progresses in her education.

LOCATION, BOUNDARIES, AND CLIMATE

Purok 11, Dologon is found in the Municipality of Maramag, province of Bukidnon,


(Region X) Northern Mindanao, Philippines. It is situated at approximately 7.830289,
125.058370, on the island of Mindanao. Elevation at these coordinates is estimated at
309.2 meters or 1,014.4 feet above mean sea level (Solis, 2023). Dologon experiences a
tropical climate characterized by consistent temperatures throughout the year. This
climate, common in tropical regions, is conducive to agriculture. The area is known for its
fertile soil, making it suitable for cultivating crops. Notably, corn cultivation is a
predominant agricultural activity among the residents. Furthermore, according to
PAGASA (2023), as of November 2023, there are more dry days than rainy days.

NUMBER OF FAMILY MEMBERS


The Lucky family has 3 members. A nuclear family that consists of a husband,
wife and one daughter. The husband, JS. L, born on July 13, 1995, is 28 years old. JS. L.
has six (6) other siblings; four (4) girls and two (2) boys. The wife, LS. L., born on
January 8, 1992, is 31 years old. LS. L has four (4) other siblings; three (3) boys and one
(1) girl. Lastly, their daughter, SS. L., born on November 15, 2015, is an 8-year-old. SS.
L is the only child of the Lucky couple.

SOURCE OF INCOME OF THE FAMILY

Mrs. LS. L highlights that the primary source of income for their family is the
monthly wages earned by her husband, Mr. JS. L who works as a laborer. With Mr. JS
6
L.’s monthly income ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 pesos, the family relies solely on this
money to sustain their daily living expenses, including food. Mrs. LS. L manages the
family budget, and she notes that the income, at times, falls short of meeting their
necessities. This financial challenge underscores the difficulty they face in covering their
basic needs, and the limited income received by Mr. JS. L poses a significant obstacle in
providing for the entire family. The situation reflects the financial strain and points out
the importance of finding ways to enhance their income and manage their budget more
effectively to ensure the well-being of the family.

POWER SOURCES

Within the Lucky family household, where access to a reliable power source is
limited, the family face unique challenges in their day-to-day lives. The absence of a
consistent electricity supply complicates fundamental aspects of their everyday life. In
this context, families often depend on traditional methods and resources, showcasing
their resilience and resourcefulness. The Lucky family, for example, has devised
alternative approaches for lighting, cooking, and other activities traditionally reliant on
electricity. Due to the lack of electrical power, their household lacks common appliances.
The Lucky family turns to the use of firewood or kerosene/stove as a cooking facility to
cater their day-to-day meals. When their mobile phones are low on battery, they adopt
an alternative approach by turning to their neighbors for assistance in order to keep their
devices charged and functional.

COMMUNICATION SERVICES

The primary means of communication of the Lucky family is through the use of
mobile phones. Mobile phones play a crucial role in connecting family members,
especially in a rural setting where other forms of communication infrastructure may be
limited. The signal and data within the place is also sufficient enough. The use of mobile
phones is integral to the Lucky family's communication, providing a versatile and
accessible means for staying connected, informed, and engaged in various aspects of
their daily lives. In addition to serving as the primary means of communication, the
mobile phone connectivity within the Lucky family's residence in Dologon, is notably
reliable. The signal strength and data connectivity in their location are sufficient,
ensuring that the family can seamlessly make calls, and send messages to each other.

TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

The families residing in this rural area have their houses located near a road,

7
ensuring convenient access to transportation services. The road sees a regular flow of
motorcycles, jeepneys, multicabs, trucks, and cars, providing a variety of transportation
options for the community. This diverse mix of vehicles indicates the accessibility of the
area and the availability of different modes of transport to meet the varying needs of the
residents. The constant presence of these vehicles passing by the road contributes to the
overall connectivity and mobility of the community, facilitating easier travel and
transportation of goods.

WATER SUPPLY

In their rural environment, the family relies on a communal closed water well
shared with other residents. This well serves as their primary water source, highlighting
the collaborative ownership arrangement in the community. The family opts to purchase
their drinking water from a water refilling station located in Dologon. To maintain the
cleanliness and accessibility of their stored drinking water, they cover their containers
and utilize practical options such as plastic pitchers and bottles. However, a notable
inconvenience arises from the fact that their comfort room is situated at a distance of 15
meters from the water well. This distance makes their daily routine a bit harder,
underlining how having water nearby is crucial for their daily needs.

PEACE AND ORDER IN THE COMMUNITY

Barangay Dologon is characterized by a prevailing atmosphere of peace, marked


by minimal internal conflicts among its residents. The community is notable for its
familial ties, as a significant portion of the population is related, fostering a sense of
shared identity and familiarity. This close-knit environment contributes to the limited
occurrence of disputes, as the residents are well-acquainted with each other. Notably,
the people of Dologon are recognized for their welcoming demeanor, readily engaging in
positive interactions with visitors. This sociable atmosphere creates an environment
where both residents and guests experience a sense of community and acceptance.

year-old daughter. Her father, a 70-year-old male, has a history of hypertension, while
her mother, a 72-year-old female, has a history of stroke. Among her siblings, most are
free of diseases, except for her 3rd sibling, a 40-year-old female with a history of
hypertension. On her husband's side, the father of JS.L, a 69-year-old male, passed
away due to a heart attack, and the mother of JS.L, a 65-year-old female, has a history
of hypertension. Most of her husband's siblings are healthy, with one having a history of
hypertension.

ECOMAP (Narrative)

The client maintains a positive connection with her family, church, neighbors, and
healthcare professionals in her community. However, her friendships are somewhat weak
as she doesn't frequently engage with friends. On her husband's side, he enjoys positive
relationships with his family, peers, and colleagues but experiences weak connection
with his siblings. Their daughter has a positive relationship with teachers and classmates
but faces stress in the school environment.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of this study is designed with a family-centered focus, aiming to


address the multifaceted health challenges the family members face. This study focuses
on a family experiencing poor sanitation, no access to potable water and electricity, no
comfort room, and an imbalance in nutrition. It involves examining the root causes of
these problems and their impact on the family's health and proposing practical strategies
for improvement. The goal is to comprehend the complex interactions between these
factors and how they affect the family's overall health and well-being and identify
tailored nursing interventions prioritizing family needs and experiences. Additionally,
recognizing these problems as critical determinants of health, the study aims to offer
client-centered solutions to enhance living conditions.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study holds fundamental significance in community health nursing, placing


the patient at the core of its focus. The findings of this study will equip community

11
health nurses with a deeper comprehension of the unique health struggles faced by
individuals dealing with poor sanitation, no access to potable water and electricity, no
comfort room, and an imbalance in nutrition. By identifying effective strategies and
interventions, the study aspires to empower nurses to deliver compassionate care that
not only addresses immediate health concerns but also fosters sustainable improvements
in the overall health and living conditions of clients in these challenging circumstances.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

This study covers the different aspects of the community such as the Community

Chapter II-Methodology

DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURE

Data is gathered using semi-structured interviews and reflective narratives. The interview
guide is created to investigate particular facets of student nurses' experiences, including
challenges encountered, positive learning instances, and how they perceive the influence
on their nursing education. Throughout the interviews, the students made field notes to
record non-verbal cues, context, and any supplementary observations that could
contribute to a more thorough interpretation of the data. The results appear in a
complete research report, which includes a detailed discussion of the methodology, main
themes found, and direct comments from participants to explain their experiences.

SAMPLING DESIGN
Purposive sampling enabled the students to select situations that give a rich background
for investigation. Researchers carefully select participants based on specific qualities,
characteristics, or criteria relevant to their research objectives. This intentional selection
allows for a focused and targeted approach, ensuring that the chosen participants can
provide valuable insights or information related to the study's goals. This is especially
significant in case studies, where comprehending the context is frequently as vital as
comprehending the individual events or actions.The students used a Qualitative research
design which utilizes qualitative methods such as interviews, focus groups, or
observations to explore and understand social phenomena from participants'
perspectives. Case studies aim to comprehend the environment in which a phenomenon
takes place. Qualitative techniques, including interviews, observations, and document
analysis, empower researchers to delve into the subtleties and complexities of the
context enveloping the case.

RESEARCH DESIGN
Phenomenological research seeks to explore and understand the essence of a
phenomenon as it is experienced by individuals, emphasizing their subjective
perspectives and interpretations. Given the study's primary focus on delving into the
lived experiences of the interviewees, the researchers employed the descriptive
phenomenological research method. This approach was chosen because the researchers
aimed not only to explore but also to pinpoint the key challenges faced by the individuals
participating in the study, with the ultimate goal of offering viable solutions.

Researchers employing this design often use in-depth interviews and open-ended
14
questions to capture the richness and depth of participants' experiences. By delving into
the shared meanings and perceptions within a specific group, phenomenological studies
aim to uncover the fundamental structures that shape their lived experiences. This
approach facilitates a deeper exploration of the human experience, offering insights that
contribute to a more profound understanding of the phenomenon under investigation.

Embarking on a transformative journey, the Lanta family transitioned from

15
residing under the shelter of Leisel's parents in their place of origin, Dologon, to forging
their own path three years ago. Rooted in the Baptist faith, the Lantas infuse their
familial bonds with a profound spiritual anchor. Leading the family is Leisel D. Lanta, a
28-year-old born on January 08, 1992, and a college graduate. She serves as the guiding
force, navigating the family through life's endeavors with wisdom and resilience.
Complementing Leisel's leadership is Josin D. Lanta, 31 years old and born on July 13,
1995. Contributing to the family's livelihood through labor work, Josin embodies
resilience and dedication, holding a high school level educational attainment. Together,
Leisel and Josin form a dynamic partnership, steering the family towards shared goals
and aspirations. In the rich tapestry of their lives, the family finds its heartbeat in eight-
year-old Sophie D. Lanta. Born on October 15, 2015, Sophie is currently navigating the
corridors of knowledge as a diligent grade 3 student at Dologon Elementary School.

The Lanta family operates within a nuclear family structure, fostering a close-knit
and harmonious environment. Despite the challenges that often arise in familial
dynamics, the Lantas demonstrate minimal observable conflicts, primarily attributing any
discord to miscommunication. Their commitment to maintaining open lines of
communication, predominantly through verbal means, plays a pivotal role in mitigating
potential issues. This family values staying connected, regularly engaging in meaningful
conversations that allow each member to freely express their thoughts and feelings. The
foundation of trust and effective communication within the family contributes to a
supportive atmosphere. In terms of financial considerations, the Lantas navigate a
monthly income ranging between Php 4,000 and Php 10,000. This income range
underscores their resilience and resourcefulness, as they work together to manage their
financial responsibilities.

HOME AND ENVIRONMENT


The Lanta Family resides in a makeshift house with a single sleeping room, no
electricity, lacking appliances but relying on kerosene for lighting. Safety concerns
16
include loose doors, walls, and posts, compounded by a limited 1-3 windows. Child
safety is prioritized with no accessible sharp objects or matches. Kerosene is stored in
plastic bottles, separate from soft drink containers. Their living space is inadequate, and
leftover food is either covered or given to animals. Cooking is done with firewood,
kerosene, or a stove. Water is sourced from a shared well or purchased, stored in
covered plastic pitchers. The comfort room is around 15 meters from the water source.
Waste disposal methods include open dumping, burning, and segregation of
biodegradable, non-biodegradable, and recyclable items. The family lacks a personal
toilet but employs a flush-type waste disposal system with a closed drainage system.
Daily cleaning is a routine, yet breeding places persist. Mosquito nets are utilized to
control breeding, and contaminated water is poured out weekly. The presence of pet
dogs and herbal plants adds to their surroundings, though specific information on DOH-
approved herbal plants is unknown.

In the last 2 months, LS. L has experienced coughs and colds, alongside health
problems like breast cyst and polyp syndrome. She takes Primolut N for her breast cyst
and a certain pill (she forgot the name) prescribed by the Doctor for her serves as her
maintenance medication for polyp syndrome but she chose to discontinue it almost a
year ago due to personal reasons such as lack of financial support. LS. L reports that
she takes Neozep Forte for her coughs and colds as medicinal relief. Additionally, she
incorporates a more traditional approach using oregano, a herbal plant, but not officially
approved by the Department of Health (DOH). Their health practices suggest a personal
exploration of alternative remedies. When faced with severe health problems, they
immediately seek intervention from the local healthcare system, relying on the Barangay
Health Unit, Nurses, and Medical professionals. Furthermore, the Lanta family shows

17
awareness of the immunization program within their barangay. According to them, they
knew about it because it was disseminated through the Barangay Health Workers,
indicating the effectiveness of local health initiatives in reaching the community. It is
noteworthy that all three family members have received both doses of the COVID-19
vaccine. However, they have not pursued booster shots, a decision that could be
influenced by various factors, including personal choice or external circumstances.

Facilities

The Lucky Family's living conditions present a significant factor primarily due to
the environment that exposes them to health risks and threats. In front of their purok is
a big factory where organic fertilizers are made which can cause an increase in mosquito
breeding places. A new study published in December in the Journal of Medical
Entomology shows the mosquitoes of at least two species develop both faster and in
greater numbers when plant matter and fertilizer are combined in the water where the
mosquito larvae grow(Today, 2018). Access to social and health facilities is somewhat
limited but includes essential resources where they can immediately ask for help such as
the Barangay Health Center, School, and Church. These facilities play a crucial role in
providing basic health care and community support to the family. Additionally, the family
relies on a range of transportation options, including buses, jeepneys, single motors,
multicabs, and motorelas, to go to places. Their mode of communication is through text,
call, and messenger through a shared android cellphone to communicate with their
family and friends away from them. Navigating this environment requires the Lanta
Family to leverage the available facilities and transportation modes, emphasizing the
importance of community resources in mitigating health challenges and fostering
connectivity in their rural surroundings.

AWARENESS OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION

The Lanta family demonstrates awareness of both the community and the
barangay's health promotion initiatives and available health resources. In addition to

18
staying informed about these vital aspects, they are actively engaged with the
community's organizational structure. LS. L and her family attend Barangay meetings to
keep updated on the community’s projects and activities. This awareness not only
highlights their commitment to staying informed about health-related activities but also
signifies their participation in the collaborative efforts that contribute to the well-being of
the entire community.

HEALTH INSURANCE
The Lanta Family are well-informed about health insurance options, including
PhilHealth which is the most common health insurance in the Philippines, the Lanta
family currently lacks any coverage due to constraints in both time and finances. The
demands of their circumstances have made it challenging for them to allocate resources
for obtaining health insurance. This gap in coverage not only underscores the financial
struggles they face but also highlights the need for accessible and affordable options
that accommodate the realities of their daily lives. Finding ways to overcome these
barriers becomes crucial in ensuring the family's wellbeing and potential healthcare
expenses.

HEALTH EDUCATION PLAN

TOPIC: Environmental Sanitation

PURPOSE/RATIONALE: Environmental sanitation is of utmost importance for several reasons. Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) such as malaria,
dengue, and leishmaniasis exert a huge burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly affecting the poorest
46
of the poor(Wilson et al., 2020). Primarily, it serves as a crucial preventive measure against vector-borne diseases,
curbing the proliferation of mosquitoes and rats. Additionally, it plays a pivotal role in bolstering public health by
ensuring access to clean water, proper waste disposal, and adequate sanitation facilities. Moreover, its significance
extends to disaster risk reduction, where organized sanitation systems act as a frontline defense, mitigating the impact
of natural disasters and averting water-borne diseases in emergency scenarios. In essence, environmental sanitation is
indispensable for creating and sustaining a healthy, resilient community.

GOALS/OBJECTIVES General Objective:


After a 30-minute health teaching session, the student nurses will be able to empower family with knowledge,
skills,and attitude to implement effective environmental sanitation practices, thereby fostering a cleaner and healthier
living environment, reducing the risk of water-borne and vector-borne diseases, and promoting overall family well-
being.

Specific Objective:
At the end of 30-minute health teaching, the Lanta Family will specifically be able:
Knowledge:
1. To recall and articulate information on proper waste segregation and disposal methods, the eradication of
breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and the use of mosquito nets in preventing vector-borne diseases.
2. To discuss and articulate various techniques and methods employed in cleaning and sanitizing, including but not
limited to proper hand hygiene practices, surface disinfection protocols, and safe food handling measures,
demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of effective sanitation practices.
Skills:
5. To maintain clean grounds, fold & organize unused cloth, pour stagnant water such as in old tires, plant pots
and cans.
6. To demonstrate proper handwashing techniques before food preparations and after cleaning & sanitizing the
environment.
Attitude:
1. To foster a positive attitude towards the importance of environmental sanitation, recognizing measures for
disease prevention and community well-being, aligning their personal values with the significance of maintaining
47
a clean and healthy living environment.
2. To internalize a sense of responsibility and ownership for environmental sanitation,this involves embracing
sanitation not just as an individual practice but as a shared familial effort, leading to a positive shift in household
norms and values regarding sanitation.

HEALTH EDUCATION PLAN

TOPIC: No Potable Water

PURPOSE/RATIONALE: Potable water is a fundamental resource that supports various aspects of human life, from basic biological functions to
broader societal and economic development. Ensuring access to clean and safe water is a critical step in promoting
health, preventing diseases, and fostering sustainable and thriving communities. Access to clean water and proper
sanitation has been recognized as a human right by several international treaties and declarations. Sadly, the objective
of having access to clean water for everyone has not yet been completely accomplished. Hepatitis A, typhoid, polio,
56
diarrhea, dysentery, and cholera are among the illnesses that can spread due to contaminated water and inadequate
sanitation. People are exposed to avoidable health hazards when water and sanitation facilities are insufficient,
mismanaged, or nonexistent. This is especially true in healthcare settings where poor access to water, sanitation, and
hygiene services puts both patients and employees at risk of infection and illness. Water that is easily accessible and
safe is essential for maintaining public health, regardless of whether it is used for drinking, household chores, cooking,
or leisure. Better management of water resources, together with better sanitation and water delivery, may significantly
reduce poverty and accelerate economic growth in nations.

GOALS/OBJECTIVES General Objective:


After a 50-minute health teaching session, the student nurses will be able to empower families with knowledge, skills,
and attitude to equip them with knowledge on the significance of ensuring access to potable water, preventing
waterborne diseases, and contributing to overall well-being.

Specific Objective:
At the end of 50-minute health teaching, the Lanta Family will specifically be able:

Knowledge:
1. To articulate a clear definition of potable water, distinguishing it from non-potable sources and the health risks
associated with consuming contaminated water, including the potential for waterborne diseases, gastrointestinal
issues, and other adverse health effects.
2. To list and explain different methods of water purification, such as boiling, filtration, chlorination, and the use of
water purification tablets.

Skills:
1. To demonstrate proper techniques in making water potable and for storing water to prevent contamination,
including the use of covered containers, cleaning storage vessels regularly, and avoiding cross-contamination.
2. To identify common contaminants that can compromise water quality, including microbial agents, chemical
pollutants, and physical impurities.

57
Attitude:
1. To demonstrate an openness to change by willingly adopting new water safety habits and integrating them into
their daily routines for the betterment of their health.
2. To exhibit a positive attitude toward water hygiene by expressing a commitment to adopting and maintaining
practices that ensure the cleanliness and safety of their water sources.

HEALTH EDUCATION PLAN

TOPIC: Personal Hygiene

PURPOSE/RATIONALE: Good hygiene is critical for preventing the spread of infectious diseases and helping children lead long, healthy lives. It also
prevents them from missing school, resulting in better learning outcomes. For families, good hygiene means avoiding illness and
spending less on health care. In some contexts, it can also secure a family’s social status and help individuals maintain self-
confidence. Yet, important hygiene behaviors are difficult to practice without the right knowledge and skills, adequate community
support and the belief that one’s own behavior can actually make a difference.

64
GOALS/OBJECTIVES General Objective:
After a 30-minute health teaching session, the student nurses will be able to impart the family with knowledge, skills,and attitude
to put into practice the different hygiene practices they can implement in their homes to improve their health and well-being, as
well as to prevent and reduce the risk of acquiring infectious diseases.
Specific Objective:
At the end of 30-minute health teaching, the Lanta Family will specifically be able:
Knowledge:
1. To comprehend and recall the given information on the importance of proper hygiene, different ways to implement it, and
hygiene maintenance.
2. To accurately discuss and refer to the teachings about the different hygiene techniques and methods in maintaining good
personal hygiene like hand washing, oral hygiene, cleaning of nails, hair and scalp, and bathing.
Skills:
1. To apply the various hygiene techniques in their homes and forge maintenance for long-term benefits.
2. To demonstrate proper cleaning of teeth, hair, scalp, proper bathing oral hygiene, and overall proper personal hygiene.
Attitude:
1. To display a positive attitude towards implementation of personal hygiene and acknowledging its importance for the sake of
preventing and lowering the risk of acquiring infectious diseases.
2. To express willingness in implementing change and breaking off from their old lifestyle and daily routine and abide by the
ways on how to obtain and maintain personal hygiene.
