ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The creation of this diagnosis would not be possible without the aid of a few
notable people. We, the eleventh group of the first batch who completed their
Community Health Nursing duties, are grateful for Mrs. Miraluna and Ms. Isabel
Danielle Caturan’s tireless guidance and support, along with Mr. Christian Joshua
Caturan’s helping hand whenever it was needed the most. We would not have
completed this task successfully without their constant encouragement, patience
over our shortcomings, and advice that helped us overcome them.
To the other groups who shared the same success and failures with us,
encouraged us when we were not doing well enough or did not meet the expected
outcomes, helped us look for missing tools and data, and made the experience
more fun, thank you so much. You made the hard times less difficult to tread
against and we couldn’t be more grateful for the camaraderie that we had shared
with each other during the one-month duration that we were given to work together.
To the families that cooperated with us during our interviews, thank you for
sharing your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that helped us finish our duties
successfully.
And lastly, we are grateful to the Almighty God, for showering us with
wisdom, strength, and peace of mind in completing this task successfully. For His
guidance in helping us surpass all the challenges and trials, and also for giving us
the determination to pursue our true purpose in life.

INTRODUCTION
Community health nursing is a unique blend of nursing, public health
practice, and other types of social assistance designed as a human service for
humankind's development. This form of nursing is holistic in the sense that it
encompasses all aspects of health needs, but since it focuses on the community,
it explores the heavier side of the spectrum of health needs, which increases the
physical, mental, and emotional demands of nursing.
Therewith, community health nursing has the potential to instigate beneficial
changes in the community, given that it requires a deep connection with the entire
community that allows for the creation of a collective community diagnosis.
Although different from the usual diagnosis encountered in the school and hospital,
community diagnosis shares the same nature as common diagnoses that aim to
deliver care to people who are less fortunate and are dependent on accessible
healthcare. This form of nursing is especially effective for people who live away
from the city where most healthcare services are easily available. It is also
significantly cost-effective and gives the clients freedom to continue their routines
while receiving the care that they need.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE
After a week of community health nursing duty in Purok Lapu-Lapu,
Guadalupe, Maasin City, the student nurses would be able to promote health and
prevent diseases by performing nursing interventions that promote consciousness,
awareness, and recognition of the importance of health, proper sanitation, and
good personal hygiene, and how the absence of these factors can lead to
consequences that affect their daily living.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
1. Establish rapport with families in the community through the interviews
conducted.
2. Determine problems present within every family interviewed, as well as the
entire community.
3. Identify the priority problems for each family.
4. Determine the most appropriate nursing interventions for each problem of
the families, as well as the diagnosis for the community.
5. Provide health education to the priority family and ensure that they learn
everything for them to apply the knowledge in their everyday lives.
6. Discuss the different diseases that the priority family is most prone to, as
well as the preventive measures that they can do in order not to contract
any of the diseases.
4
7. Ensure that high-quality nursing care is provided to every client
encountered.
8. Improve interpersonal skills by developing empathetic skills and exploring
the depth of human interaction to improve healthcare provision.

It shows in the chart the hat majority of the Population is between the ages of 36-
45 years old based on 67 households that we interviewed in Purok, Lapu-Lapu,
Guadalupe, and Maasin City.
Based on the 2020 Census of Population and Housing (2020 CPH), the
Philippines had a total population of 109,035,343 persons. Of this total, the
household population comprised 99.7 percent or 108,667,043 persons. By age
group, 33.4 million (30.7%) were under 15 years of age (young dependents). On
the other hand, persons aged 15 to 64 years (working-age or economically-active
population) totaled to 69.40 million (63.9%) while those in age groups 65 years
and over (old dependents) comprised the remaining 5.86 million (5.4%). In 2015,
persons aged 0 to 14 years, 15 to 64 years, and 65 years and over accounted for
32.0, 63.3, and 4.8 percent, respectively, of the household population. Moreover,
there were more males (88.8%) than females (86.6%) among the 0 to 54 age
group. Meanwhile, among the older age group (55 years and over), females
(13.4%) outnumbered the males (11.2%). The same trend was also observed in
2015. https://psa.gov.ph/content/age-and-sex-distribution-philippine-population-

CIVIL STATUS
Single (51.66%)
Married (42.80%)
Widowed (5.16%)
Separated (0.36%)
The pie chart illustrates the civil status of each family member, with a total
of 271 people in the 67 households that were interviewed. According to the
statistics acquired, 51.66% of people are single (140), followed by 42.80% who are
married (116), 5.16% who are widowed (14), and 0.36% who are separated (1).
The data gathered implies that the majority of 271 people in the 67
households are Single. This is due to most of them still studying and getting
married is not their top priority at the moment, also some of them tend not to get
married even though they are at the right age to enter into a lifetime relationship.
PSA in a February 2020 report said that there are 34.8 million singles or unmarried
individuals which accounts for 44% of the total population ten years old and above.
The census of population is conducted by the agency every ten years. It collects
data on the marital status of persons 10 years old and over. The PSA said that of
19
the total single population, males account for 54.1% which results in a ratio of 118
males for every 100 females. It added that single is defined as someone who has
never been married to anyone in their lifetime, citing the 2015 Census of
Population.

Educational Attainment
The educational attainment of the people living in Purok Lapu-Lapu in
Barangay Guadalupe Can-iwan, is depicted in this graph. It reveals that nearly
30% of Can-iwan residents hold college degrees, about 16% did not complete high
school or are still enrolled in high school, nearly 14% have completed high school,
12% are currently enrolled in college or have stopped their college studies, about
11% are in elementary school or have stopped their elementary studies, nearly 9%
are children or were not identified, about 8% have completed grade school, and
1% have completed ALS.
Education contributes to the achievement of all these goals within a
community while also contributing to individual economic growth and social
stability. Education reduces poverty by providing knowledge and skills that enable
people to earn more money; it generates income thru increased productivity,
participation in the labor force, and entrepreneurship. Education decreases
21
environmental degradation by teaching people about sustainable practices such
as recycling and conservation; reducing poverty, one of the biggest causes of
global deforestation; and providing people with tools to avoid overexploiting natural
resources such as forests for shelter or fuel.

The ratio of men to women living in Purok Lapu-Lapu is depicted in this
graph. According to this information, men make up the majority of the purok Lapu-
Lapu population. Males make up 52.55% and females make up 47.45%.
Having more males in a community than females affect a community’s
livelihood. Recent research illustrates that many initiatives intended to improve
livelihoods still proceed as “gender blind,” failing to account for the norms and
relations that will influence how women and men experience opportunities and
outcomes. It was found that men can pursue a broader range of livelihood activities
than women who tend to be constrained by individual perceptions of risk and
socially prescribed physical mobility restraints.

Religion
Roman Catholic Fundamental Baptist Church Jehova's Witness None
As for the religion of the people part of the Can-Iwan community, the
majority is Roman Catholic, only a few are not. This chart shows that 96.15% of
the community population are Roman Catholic, 1.75% don’t have any religion,
0.70% are Fundamental Baptist Church, and 1.40% are Jehova’s Witness.
The result of the chart shows that the community almost has the same
beliefs as each other because of their ancestors who passed it down generation
by generation. Meanwhile, there are some people who changed their beliefs
because of what they have discovered throughout their existence.
According to Jack Miller in Asia Society, The Philippines proudly boasts to
be the only Christian nation in Asia. More than 86 percent of the population is
Roman Catholic, 6 percent belong to various nationalized Christian cults, and
another 2 percent belong to well over 100 Protestant denominations.

Occupation rate in Purok Lapu-Lapu
26
For the occupation rate for Purok Lapu-Lapu in Can-Iwan, most residents
out there are unemployed. Some are retired because of having low capabilities to
do the job, or getting older rather. Some are just housewives, and some are still
students. But in some cases, there are students who are already working because
of their socioeconomic status. There are also some members of the family, mostly
fathers, take two jobs so that their family can survive for their everyday living. Some
members of the family also have professional jobs and works in a company.
According to The Pinoy OFW, the Philippines’ high unemployment rates are
partially attributable to the country’s subpar educational system. There are several
variables that contribute to this issue, some of which include the low quality of
teachers, a high dropout rate, a lack of competitiveness and relevance, limited
access to information technology resources, and inadequate school infrastructure.

FAMILY STRUCTURES PRESENT IN LAPU-

LAPU, GUADALUPE, MAASIN CITY
Nuclear (41.54%) Cohabitating (9.23%) Single Parent (12.3%)

Extended (24.62%) Blended (3.08%) Dyad (4.62%)
No family (4.62%)
The graph shows that the majority of the households in Lapu-Lapu have
either a nuclear or multigenerational structure. The Filipino family is considered a
highly valuable social institution in the Philippines. In general, Filipino families are
bilaterally extended and residentially nuclear.
https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119085621.wbefs251
This is a common result for Filipino households as we all value family
orientation over anything else. Moreover, the minorities show that some people in
Lapu-Lapu are either alone or have basically no children.
28
WHO DECIDES IN THE FAMILY
Father (27.69%) Mother (41.54%) Eldest Son (6.15%)

Both Parents (13.85%) Others (10.77%)
The graph shows that majority of the households have the mother as the
first person to decide what to do for every family matter. This destroys the
patriarchal structure of the Filipino household, although it is not certain that all of
these households have masculine heads who preside over the family members,
automatically making the mother the head of the household.
Research findings, however, suggest that Filipino families may be more
egalitarian and less patriarchal. Although fathers continue to be identified as the
"breadwinners” or the "household heads" of families, the significant roles of
mothers in family survival and decision-making are well-documented. Studies in
the 1960s and the early 1970s show that joint husband-wife decision-making
patterns are the common norm in Filipino homes (Guerrero 1965; Porio, et al.
29
1975; Castillo 1976). This conjugal mode of decision-making has been consistently
supported by even more recent studies conducted in the last decade (Alcid 1986;
David 1993). https://www.jstor.org/stable/41853664
As for the minority that is the eldest son deciding on family matters, it is
either that they live with their siblings or they are the breadwinner of the family.
30
WHO DECIDES ON MATTER OF HEALTH
Father (15.39%) Mother (38.46%) Eldest (7.69%) Other (38.46%)
When it comes to the matter of health, the majority of the households in
Lapu-Lapu have mothers or to the same extent, both parents or other people such
as health professionals decide on it. The minorities have their fathers and eldest
children decide on it.
In the Philippines, the family acts as a caregiver, patient advocate, and
primary decision-maker on matters related to the care of those dying or seriously
ill. Patients take on a passive role and readily accept a loss of autonomy as they
entrust themselves entirely to their family's care. Religious beliefs and cultural
values present obstacles to discussions about advanced directives. Filial piety, a
religious duty to preserve the gift of life, and a belief in God as the arbiter of life
and death are factors that influence Filipino families to leave in God's hands the
time and manner of a person's death. Aggressive medical interventions are often
31
favored over withholding or removing extraordinary means to sustain life for
terminal patients. Filipino families are expected to do everything to extend the
terminally ill patient's life until God chooses to intervene and end the patient's
suffering. https://ixtheo.de/Record/1782231161

Number of families
The families in Lapu-Lapu have various ways of maintaining their
relationships through bonding, and most of the families prefer to eat together, may
it be outside or in the comfort of their homes. 22 out of 67 families also prefer to
go out together and have fun, and 17 out of 64 families prefer to go to the beach,
considering that they are close to the sea.
Stress process theory suggests that the positive and negative aspects of
relationships can have a large impact on the well-being of individuals. Family
relationships provide resources that can help an individual cope with stress,
engage in healthier behaviors, and enhance self-esteem, leading to higher well-
being. However, poor relationship quality, intense caregiving for family members,
and marital dissolution are all stressors that can take a toll on an individual’s well-
being. https://doi.org/10.1093%2Fgeroni%2Figx025

Number of families
Out of the 67 families that had been interviewed in Lapu-lapu, 46 of them
solves their problems by talking about it first before doing anything. The minorities
such as asking help from a relative and taking a loan are circumstantial specific to
financial problems.
Managing problems positively and constructively can help children develop
well and thrive. When children see their parents behaving and communicating with
each other in this way, children learn to behave this way too. It can teach them
important skills for life. https://raisingchildren.net.au/grown-ups/looking-after-

The pie chart shows the home ownership in every family household. The
family with 90% stating that they have their own home while the 10% of the families
stated that they had borrowed their homes. The family with borrowed homes
specified that they had borrowed their homes from their relatives.
The data implies that the majority of the families in Purok Lapu-Lapu, Brgy.
Guadalupe has their own houses. This implies that the family who owned their
houses has the benefit to have peace of mind that the house cannot be stolen
because they owned it. While the families who had borrowed their houses have a
chance that they will be kicked out any time because they don’t have the rights to
stay there as long as they want.
Homeownership is encouraged by many governments because it is
supposed to have a positive effect on both the individual and society as a whole.
Homeownership is assumed to be preferred over renting, because it provides
36
greater security, more freedom, financial advantage and therefore higher housing
satisfaction. (PDF) Home Ownership and Housing Satisfaction (researchgate.net)

the graph 41% of the households got 2 rooms, 36% got 3 rooms, 11% got no room,
9% got 1 room and 3% got 5 rooms.
The data implies that the majority of the household in Purok Lapu-Lapu has
2 rooms in each house, seconded by 20 households with 3 rooms and so on.
There are many advantages of having one in your home. A safe room poses as
a safe haven in the times of need because when such circumstances do occur
where there’s a danger to your lives, basements and other shelters pose more of a
threat as they can become deadly traps.
In many ways the bedroom is the most important space in the house. With
the demands that the digital world places on our time, the need for good quality
sleep is ever more apparent. In addition to improving concentration and
productivity, being well rested has been shown to benefit immune function, mental
38
health, and even help weight loss. Creating an environment that encourages sleep
is vital and, as the junction of functional and beautiful design, the bedroom has
been the focus of experimentation by some of the greatest architects and
designers. https://www.salvatoriofficial.com/en/ww/stories/the-bedroom-the-most-

The pie chart shows the type of housing structure in every family. The data
shows that there are 45% of the families with a concrete type of housing structure,
also 29% of the families with semi-concrete housing structure, 24% of the families
with light materials/wooden type of housing structure, and 2% of the families with
the shanty type of housing structure.
The data implies that the majority of the families in Purok Lapu-Lapu have
a concrete, semi-concrete and wooden type of housing structure. The families with
concrete housing have safer living in a home environment as it provides better

those that have the potential to deliver safe water by nature of their design and
construction. These include piped water tube wells or boreholes; protected dug
wells, protected springs; rainwater. Families that use bottled water or refilling
stations for drinking are classified as using an improved source only if the water

improved sources of drinking water. In the urban and rural areas, 97 and 91
percent, respectively, have improved sources of drinking water. Residents in rural

including timely delivery to consumers, are important to food security, especially
for the majority of people throughout the world who rely on others to produce their
food. It is important to have food storage like cupboards, refrigerators, freezers,
48

system; it enables the water to flow freely and on most occasions does not allow

The column chart illustrates the current existing problems in the community. It
shows that out of 67 family households, 19.4 percent of the families in Purok Lapu-
Lapu say that they have a problem with their drainage system. Another issue is
transportation, with a percentage of 4.48%, followed by the problem regarding

percentage of 7.46%, the leadership with a percentage of 4.8%, and 7.46% of the
families answered that they have a problem with the mosquito breeding sites.
Lastly, the water supply has a percentage of 56.72%.
Based on the data shown, it appears that the main issue in their community is
water supply because most of the areas are mountainous or near the sea, making
water supply inaccessible to all residents. The garbage comes next. The reason
for this is that the area around Barangay Guadalupe, Purok Lapu-Lapu is near the
81
sea and mountains, making garbage collection more difficult. The drainage is the
other. Given their proximity to the sea, they are also close to irrigation canals. To
conclude, the social world influences or rather defines the state of health of people
and it is very important to address social adversities while working in the discipline
of community health.

The bar graphs show the community's perceived important needs. Out of
67 data respondents, 62.69% answered clean water supply, 40.30% for proper
waste management, 28.36% for health services, 17.91% for proper drainage
system, and 10.48% for streetlight and food supply. Lastly, 7.46% of the families

According to the data, the majority of families in Purok Lapu-lapu consider
clean water supply to be the most important need on which their community should
take action. The families recognized the significance of proper waste management
in their community as well. The families also want better health care for the
residents of Barangay Can-Iwan. A proper drainage system is also what the
83
families of the community would like to have. Finally, the families hope for their
community to have the following four necessities: street lights, food supply, job
services, and transportation.
The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines perceived as "to regard as
such." In order to improve health outcomes, it is critical in this study to understand
community members' perceived needs. Perceived need refers to an individual's
own judgment about the necessity or benefits of a particular service (Jiska Cohen-
Mansfield, August 2008). According to water.org, more than 3 million Filipinos rely
on unsafe and unsustainable water sources, and 7 million do not have access to
improved sanitation. The country is rapidly urbanizing, and its expanding cities are
struggling to provide adequate water and sanitation services to new residents.
Proper healthcare may be a common need in the realm of Public Health, but how
these problems are handled in a rural setting versus an urban setting is vastly
different. People who perceive barriers try coping strategies such as delaying
treatment and self-care, which can be harmful.

Vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet, and variety is as
important as quantity. No single vegetable provides all of the nutrients you need to
be healthy. A diet rich in vegetables can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of
heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower the risk of eye and
digestive problems, and have a positive effect on blood sugar, which can help keep
the appetite in check. Eating non-starchy vegetables and green leafy vegetables
may even promote weight loss. Their low glycemic loads prevent blood sugar
spikes that can increase hunger.
