 INTRODUCTION

As the saying goes, "prevention is better than cure." Community Health

Nursing focuses on prevention of disease and promotion of health. Valuing every
step of the nursing process to acquire accurate results and provide accurate
interventions. Assessments require keen observation, competence and effective
communication skills. These factors are able to affect the planning phase by
being the initial basis of interpretation of data. Communities are a cluster of
similar beliefs and customs that may be a factor that influences family health.

Family visits are a tool for data collection. It is used to skillfully provide
health action or interventions to promote healthy living for the basic unit of
society. It inspects environmental conditions, family and neighbor relationships,
basic needs and individual family member's health. Striving to maintain the
wellness of a family leads the community away from risks and dangers to health.
This is a goal that the CH nurses must take to keep the community in check for
communicable diseases and achieve high-level wellness.

As the nurses explored the humble land of Purok 2, Barangay Salvacion,

Butuan City, most families showed cooperation and found trust in the nurses'
abilities. They cooperated in our case study which truly helps them bring their
health concerns to light. As nurses, being a client advocate provides a mutual
understanding of goals with the family. This provides an in-depth analysis of what
interventions must take place and use therapeutic communication when family
decides to share emotional and economic problems.

The family concerned in the case study is a nuclear family of 5. Consisting

of a mother, father, eldest son, middle son and the youngest son. This family
lives a humble life near a river with a small wooden house. Although as peaceful
as it sounds, the family encounters floods, an abundance of rodents and
mosquitoes that come around the open drainage system. Improper waste
disposal is also observed. This shows their risk for vector diseases that may
affect the community if it ever surfaces and cause danger to environmental
health.

order over time, according to Duvall's Family Development Theory (1988).
The client's grandchildren, who also has a live-in partner and a child of their
own, is currently staying with her. The couple did not plan their family. The
client never leaves the house and typically despises having company. The
client's grandchild handles the most of the housework and tasks because
she is an older person. Since she is the head of the household, the client
makes most of the decisions.

The tasks in this period include accepting one's life, channeling

energy toward new responsibilities, encouraging intellectual vitality, and
forming an opinion on death.

 LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of the Group’s community health nursing- COPAR duty,

We students identified various problems along the way as we gathered
detailed information from the family. We discovered problems, not just
health issues but also, the family’s house situation, and financial
capabilities to provide basic needs.

As we identified various problems, our group came up with a solution that

would cater to every need for the family. We students were able to identify
and assess the health needs of the community, prioritize them, and develop
an appropriate plan of action. We determined the roles and responsibilities
of community health nurses and how they are relevant in making the life of
the people living in the community a better one. We used evidence-based
practices to create an intervention suitable to the needs of every individual
living in the community.

We were able to establish meaningful relationships with each of the

members. We organize community assemblies and collaborate with other
health professionals and community partners to create and implement
effective strategies to improve the health of the community.

We are able to complete a task in a community and gain different

types of skills, such as collaboration, communication, problem-solving,
leadership, and social responsibility. We learned how to work with others to
accomplish a common goal, effectively communicate to get their point
across, and think critically and solve complex problems. We gained a
greater understanding of each of the roles in the community and it’s very
important to work hand in hand in achieving the goals that were set
intended for each member and advised the family in maintaining a
reciprocal relationship with the community.
