INTRODUCTION
A community is a collection of people who share some attributes of their lives
and interact with each other in some ways. They may live in the same locale, attend a
particular church, or even share a particular interest (Mosby’s Medical Dictionary 8th
edition)
Community diagnosis generally refers to the identification and quantification of
health problems in a community as a whole in terms of mortality and morbidity rates and
ratios, and identification of this correlates for the purpose of defining those at risk or
those in need of health care. It helps in finding the common problems or diseases,
which are troublesome to the people and are easily preventable in the community of Lim
Compound.
Community Health Nursing is a field of nursing that is a blend of primary health
care and nursing practice with public health nursing. The community health nurse
conducts a continuing and comprehensive practice that is preventive, curative, and
rehabilitative. Community Health Nursing focuses on promoting and preserving the
health of population groups. Communities, like individuals and families, are living
entities. As such, the nurse will need to carry out an assessment of this community as
the client.
Page

In a Community diagnosis, we student nurses will collect data about the
community for us to be able to identify the different factors that may directly or indirectly
influence the health of the population of Lim Compound B Barangay San Dionisio,
Parañaque City. This community diagnosis will be an effective tool in assessing the
community’s health needs.
Lim B compound is considered to be a depressed area in San Dionisio according
to its health center. It was a good place to conduct our community diagnosis because
there could be more existing and preexisting problems that we can assess and identify.
In which through those problems we can make give recommendations and make action
plans.

RATIONALE
Through this study, we will be able to know the condition of the community’s health
status. By the use of the survey forms, we will know the health concerns of the
community, and for us to come up with particular plans and actions such as to provide
necessary information to prevent the occurrence of health problems, to plan for possible
solution to aid the existing problems and maintain a good quality of life.
This study would help us to identify and prioritize the observed problems in the
community and be able make a plan on minimizing the identified problems.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
After two weeks of community exposure the students must be able to identify the
direct influence of the community on the health of individual, families and sub-
population, and the condition of the people in the community.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
1. Gain the trust of the community for their cooperation.
2. Gather data about the community by using a survey tool we will be able to
identify the demographic, economic, socio-cultural and environmental indices.
3. Analyze and interpret the data gathered.
4. Determine the preexisting and existing health problems of the community.
5. Give recommendations regarding the identified problems of the community.

METHODOLOGY
During the two week community exposure, a survey tool was used to
select the actual respondents. They were selected from certain areas particularly
those family who are currently residing in Lim B compound, Manggahan,
Paranaque city. The researchers used De facto method in counting the
population.
After choosing the participants, the researchers used a modified survey
tool given by the institution/clinical instructors for a one-on-one interview in the
said community. The current health problem of the community and families who
were selected as participants was identified with the use of the evaluation tool.
SCOPE AND LIMITATION
This study was conducted in Lim Compound, Barangay San Dionisio Parañaque
City. It was divided into Lim A, Lim B, and Lim C. The researchers were only given 3
days for community assessment which comprised of the ocular survey of the
community, and the actual interview.
A total of 109 houses and 135 families comprised in Lim B Compound, despite
that, only 100 families had been interviewed because the remaining 10 families refused
due to unavailability of the respondents and 25 families were not surveyed because
some of them were not present during the time of the interview.
The data that was collected from the survey-questionnaire includes the
information regarding each family member, their educational attainment, occupation,
Page

income, religion and length of residency. The researchers also inquired about the
family’s way of living which includes their housing condition, water supply, garbage
disposal, and if they are practicing waste segregation. It also covered the topics about
their mode of transportation, communication, food storage, their prioritization of needs,
immunization of infants, family planning, the individual’s health seeking behaviors and
their sources of health information.

SEX RATIO
Population is the total number of persons inhabiting an area. Sex is either male
or female division of species. Age is the period of human life, measured by years from
birth, usually marked by a certain stage or degree of mental or physical development
and involving legal responsibility and capacity.
The estimated population of San Dionisio Paranaque as of year 2009 is
66, 141 based on the city Planning and Development Office. The researchers surveyed
a total population of 100 families making up 498 individuals in the area of Lim B
Compound Manggahan San Dionisio.
SEX RATIO
Sex ratio = Number of males_ X 100
Number of Females
SR= 250 X 100
248
Number of Males = 250
Number of Females = 248
SEX RATIO: 101:100
Interpretation
Page
19
The above computation shows the sex ratio of female and male of the total
surveyed population at Lim B compound Manggahan San Dionisio, Parañaque City.
Based on the computation, the community is primarily composed of 50.2% (n=250)
male individuals and on the other hand, the females comprised 49.8% (n=248) of the
total surveyed population. Thus, it can be interpreted as 101 males for every 100
females in the community.
Analysis
The result reveals that the population it composed of almost equal number of
males and females. The possibility to produce more offspring is high due the almost
equalization of the sex ratio that may result of increasing number of population of the
community if not given attention. The government has implemented programs to reduce
the population of the community such as natural and artificial family planning method.
The imbalance between the sex ratio is not greatly felt since the difference is too small.

Analysis
In the pyramid presented above, the left side shows the population of males
while the females are on the right side. The age brackets are listed down the center of
the pyramid, and are divided mainly into five year increments. More surviving males are
being born than the number of surviving females. The pyramid represents the
expansion of population from the youngest category and then decreases the expansion
starting from the age group of 40 and above. Based on the data gathered there are
many concerns regarding the status of the community members, this include their
lifestyle, diet, stress and the environment where they live which can accelerate or
decelerate the life expectancy of each member.
The figure shows that majority of the members of the community belongs to the
age group 10-14 which is composed of 12.05% (n=60) of the total surveyed population.
This age group belongs to the group of economically dependent. Therefore, the said
population in span of few years can help the development of their economic status. The
program that should be implemented by the Health Center to guide the development of
the said population is the program of Department of Health which is the Adolescent and
Youth Health and Development Program.
The figure 1 also shows the number of individuals which belongs to the age
group 0-4 years old which consist of 9.63%(n=48) of the total surveyed population.
Various health programs are implemented for this age especially Integrated
Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI), Food Fortification under the Nutrition
Program, Oral Health Program. The food fortification would help improve the nutritional
status of the children in the area. The oral health program would help reduce the
Page

prevalence rate of some dental problems and other periodontal diseases. Infectious
diseases control is also main priority aside from all of these programs.

TABLE 2
Analysis
Civil status is referred to as the classification of a member of community, which can be
categorized as single, married, widowed, or separated. The data gathered then interpreted
reflect the overall civil status of the respondents of Lim B Compound.
Majority of the population is single which includes those individuals living together without the
bond of marriage. These people belong to the reproductive age. They have to prepare
themselves for the possible responsibilities of parenthood if ever they plan to live together and
form a family.
Page
27
Majority of the population is single with a 57.48% (n=192) which includes those
individuals living together without the bond of marriage or what we call the common law and
also those people who are currently studying up to now. These people belong to the
reproductive age group who are independent and economically productive. This implies to the
high possibility of prioritizing their health status. On the other hand they have the capacity to
prepare themselves for the possible of parenthood if ever they plan to live together and form a
family.
The second highest percentage of population according to civil status is 38.62% (n=129)
which falls under married life. The percentage is composed of couples living together and
couples who are separated but not legally. Specifically there are 1.2% (n=4) who are separated.
The main person who is being affected with these circumstances is the children. On the other
hand, there are 37.43% (n=1250) of the respondents who are living together up to now. These
couples are legally living together. In this case the family is secure with the legality in terms of
financial support especially regarding health matters. Aside from prioritizing their family’s needs,
the couples could practice family planning to aid their concern in financial and health status of
each member of their family. There are programs implemented by the government like Natural
and Artificial Family Planning that can help the couples to decide if what family planning method
they could comfortably utilize.
The least percentage belongs to widowed which mainly belongs to adult age. If the
widow or widower falls to an old age group who has already matured children, the financial
support for the family won’t significantly affected since the children will be the one who will
provide for the family’s needs. But when the individual falls under younger age, the financial
assistance will be the main problem of the family.

Interpretation
The dependency ratio of the population living in the Lim B compound San
Dionisio Paranaque City is 52:100.Therefore, there are 52 dependents for every 100
independent individual.
Analysis
The data shows that there are more independent individuals than dependent.
This implies that the community is individuals productive and is able to provide their own
needs. This implies that the independent individuals may able to provide or sustain the
needs of the dependent ones.

self-employed.
Analysis
The data shows that majority of the individuals under the productive age
group are employed. It implicates that the community is productive and can contribute to
the economic status of the country; also it shows that the individuals who were able to
finish their education are employed depending on their qualifications and competencies.
The unemployed individuals are closely ranging to the employment
rate, out of the total number of 327 individuals aged 15-64, 43.12% (n=141) is
unemployed, thus it will contribute to other problems such as economic, health
problems. This shows that low educational attainment limits the range of available jobs
the resident is competent of employing themselves into.
Self-employment is suitable for individuals who can choose and they
can bend their working hours depending on their availability, majority of the self-
employed individuals in the community has their own store as a source of income.

The figure above shows the occupation of the people living in the
community, 80.11% (n=149) has blue collar jobs and 19.89% (n= 37) has white collar
jobs.
Analysis
Majority of the employed people in the community have blue collar jobs.
And also the self-employed are belong to this type of occupation. Meaning most of them
are engaged in jobs that require manual labor or exposed to dangerous and strenuous
working environment. Belonging to blue collared jobs is an advantage for people who
were not able to finish their studies. The disadvantage of being blue collared jobs is
that, this type of job is temporary.
While the employed people belongs to white collared jobs is the people
who has a college degree. They are professionals like: Office worker, nurse, teacher,
accountant, etc. They earn a lot of money compared to those who have blue collared
jobs.

Analysis
Majority of employed people have permanent jobs. This job is having stable
salary. The source of income for family expenses is safe, and has benefits such as
insurance, pension and salary bonus.
The employed people have seasonal job which makes a limit for them in providing their
needs because their salary depends on how often they are called to work. And this job
has no permanent or stable salary. Therefore their income is not secured to buy all the
daily expenses of the family.

INTERPRETATION
Based on the data above, the highest income of the family in Lim B Compound,
San Dionisio is 5,001-10,000 with 32% (n=32). The least income with 4% (n=4) was
20,001-25,000 and 25,001-30,000
ANALYSIS
Income of the family refers to the total family income from a source received by
all family members. It is also the consumption and savings of a family within a specified
time frame.
According to NEDA, a family gaining an income that is less than 10,000 per
month belongs to the poverty line. That a family with an income less than 10,000 a
month will experience a hard time to provide their everyday needs.
Page

Based on the data, the highest was 5,001-10,000 with a percentage of 32. For a
family, that range is not enough to provide all the basic needs such as food, water,
shelter, clothing, education and health. 19% (n=19) have above 30,000 which mostly
has own store. 17% (n=17) have 10,001-15,000, 13% (n=13) have 15,001-20,000, 11%
(n=11) have below 5,000 and the lowest with 4% were 20,001-25,000 and 25,001-

Table 5 shows that food and water is the first priority of the people in the
community with 81% (n=81). Shelter ranked second with 28% (n=28). Clothing,
education, and health ranked 3rd, all with 27% (n=27). Electricity and savings are
both the 4th priority of the respondents. Recreation came in 5th and others such as
debt, business came in 6th.
Analysis
Page
38
The primary priority of the respondents is food and water which is the basic
necessity of human kind. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, physiological
needs are the basic. The second is shelter which again, in Maslow’s hierarchy of
needs is the next, defined as the safety needs. A person needs a place to stay and
to call a home everyday to ensure security and privacy. Clothing is also a need
because it provides warmth, comfort and protection to our body. Education is
essential to an individual for it translates to the whole world what the person is
capable of doing and what he has attained. Health is needed for us to be able to
live our lives fully. Health as to being the 3rd priority of the community speaks that
they are knowledgeable of the vital needs of an individual. Electricity provides us
with comfort and makes our tasks easier to fulfill. Most people in the community
manages to save money for emergency use or for a goal which they tend to reach,
it may be renovations of the house, education or a keepsake in case of
emergencies. Recreation refers to the activity of leisure. The people make
recreation as their second to the last priority because they focus on the basic
needs of an individual, providing their children and themselves the necessary tools
to live everyday their time for recreation consists of talking to neighbors, playing
with their kids and watching TV. Other priorities of the respondents came last such
as debts, business, prepaid load.

ANALYSIS:
Literacy Rate is the percentage of the population 8 years and older who can
read and write. The data shows that all respondents are literate. Thus, the student
nurse may not have a hard time in doing the health teaching to the community because
the people may easily comprehend and adopt all the knowledge that the student nurse

ANALYSIS
Educational attainment is a term commonly used by statisticians to refer to the
highest degree of education an individual has completed. The data shows that majority
of the people are high school graduates with 28.47% (n=119). 16.99% (n=71) are
elementary undergraduates. Out of 71, 67 are presently studying. 15.31% (n=64) are
college graduates, 14.83% (n=62) are high school undergraduates. Out of 62, 29 are

course graduate and the lowest is 0.24% (n=1) who has no formal education. Those
who did not graduate mostly spend their free time without contributing to the community.
This explains that the highest percentages of working individuals are blue collar jobs
and can’t sustain all the needs of their family. Out of 418 individuals who can read and
write, 9 of them are ages 8-21 years old.

Analysis:
The Philippines is the only Christian nation in Asia. More than 85 percent of the
people are Roman Catholic.
Religion is one of the factors that affect the health of the individual, families, and
communities that may resolve to conflict like in beliefs related to healing, some clients
may have religious beliefs that attribute illness to a spiritual disruption. Healing for such
clients may appear to be unrelated to current treatment practices.
There are wide variations in religious practices, and many of these are culturally
determined. Because religion guides a person’s overall life philosophy, it influences how
people feel about health and illness. Health beliefs are not universal, an example of that
is some people view illness as a cause of bacteria, virus, or trauma. In other cultures,
however, illness may be viewed primarily as a punishment from God or an evil spirit, or
as the work of a person who wishes harm to the person.
On the other hand, the controversy between the perceptions of the different
religions about the Reproductive Health Bill House Bill No. 5043 has been scattered and
may resolve into conflict. As we all know the RH bill promotes about artificial planning
method such as condoms, IUD, pills and others. While the church rejects the artificial
family planning method they only recognized natural family planning method but the
health center promotes the use of artificial family planning method. This discrepancy
can be a contributing factor in the conflicts in a community.

Analysis:
Most of the people in Lim compound originated from Luzon particularly provinces
such as Bicol and others are from Metro Manila. There are 23% whose parents are
deceased and others are Single. The different places of origin such as Luzon, Visayas
and Mindanao have many established culture and health beliefs that are different; those
beliefs may result into a conflict.
Luzon is the largest island in the Philippines and people living in urbanized area
believe that an illness is caused by bacteria and viruses. In Visayas people perceive
that illness was caused by an evil spirit which they call “kulam” Most of the people in this
area seek health care in Arlbularyo and manghihilot. Mindanao is the second largest
island it has a large community of diverse people for them, the mountain is sacred.
Death and illness or bad faith is believed to be the god’s way of showing anger offering
of live animals like pigs and chicken are common during tribal ceremonies for a good
harvest, health and protection, and thanksgiving.

Analysis:
It shows that most of the families who live in Lim Compound are permanent
residents of the community, living there for 6 months above. While transient residents
stayed there form 1-5 months only. Permanent residents can easily access the
community resources because they are familiar in that certain place and they
established rapport with others members of the community unlike being a transient
resident, who still adjusting to his/her new environment. Being a permanent resident
also helps the health personnel to make accountable records for the community since
the population stay there for years.

Out of 100 families surveyed in Lim B Compound, 70 of the houses are made out
of mixed materials, 18 are made out of concrete materials and 12 are wooden materials.
Analysis:
Majority of the houses in Lim B Compound San Dionisio are made up of mixed
type materials. This type of house costs less than usual since not all the materials used
are purely concrete and replaced with some wooden materials it. Some of houses are
made up of pure concrete with this type of housing are considered as the strong type of
they are design to enhanced security and a higher level of resistance to strong winds
and storms it also provides protection from fire but it conserves heat. It shows small
number of houses are made up of wooden materials this type of house are cheaper and
easier to renovate, and yet there is danger that wooden homes are imposes in the
community is vulnerable to natural disasters such as fire and manifestation of termite.
Wooden homes are can absorb the heat but it can be easily torn or ripped away during
storms. It shows that most of the people in the community prioritize their safety in terms
of the house they choose.

their house, and 41% (n=41) are renting.
Analysis
Most of the families in Lim B Compound that was surveyed own their house. It is
more beneficial to have your own house compared to renting because you do not need
to worry about monthly rental payment and you can save money. One of the
disadvantages of renting a house is that you will lack of privacy and the noise over your
neighbors was uncontrolled especially if you’re renting a bed space. The advantage of
renting was there is generally less work in maintaining a home or apartment, compared
if you own a house the work needs must be done by you.

Analysis
The data shows that most of the houses have inadequate ventilation, windows having
dimensions lower than 10% of the total floor area. The houses were built at close intervals
which minimize the passage of air. Health problems especially respiratory diseases may arise in
this kind of ventilation status due to lack of fresh air.

Analysis:
Having sufficient and appropriate lighting in a work area or at one's
workstation is important for a number of reasons. Proper lighting not only helps one see
better while doing their work, but it can also help prevent health issues, improve productivity
and creates an overall better working environment. Most of the families surveyed are using
artificial light during daytime but for some it is inadequate. Other family does not use artificial
light because the sun provides adequate light for the family to utilize. For others, natural and
artificial light are inadequate lighting source which could lead into unpreventable accidents
and it is a good breeding site of cockroaches and other insects. Inadequate lighting can
cause eye strain, fatigue, physical stress and headaches.

Analysis
The graph shows that majority of the family surveyed is on a nuclear type of family. It
connotes that most families in the said community sustain itself financially and provides basic
need such as food, shelter, clothes, etc. Unlike in the extended type of family, there are greater
expenses and basic needs are increased depending on the added family members like aunt,
uncle, and cousins, but if majority of the members are working to produce money, their needs
will be sustained adequately. The advantage of having this kind of family is their workload can
be performed easily because it is divided equally with the other members. The disadvantage of
having this kind of family was lack of privacy due to inappropriate size of the house and
overcrowding may cause high rate of disease transmission.

is the more dominant figure in decision making in terms of financial expenses, however the
mother is responsible in budgeting. On the other hand 43% of the families were in the mother is
the main source of income becomes the decision maker of the family. It usually occurs when the
mother is a single parent/ divorced. A small number of the families show that neither of the
parents is more dominant than the other, consulting with one another and eventually deciding

the dishes. It is easily acquired and it could supply a large number in the community.
As all the families were getting their water supply from NAWASA, the spread of water illnesses
caused by contaminated water is decreased. While water coming from deep wells and water
containers might contain microorganisms and bacteria that cause water borne diseases, some
procedures are done to prevent this kind of incident like boiling the water before drinking and
avoiding drinking water that has been stored for a long time.

Analysis
Waste segregation is the process of dividing garbage and waste products in an
effort to reduce, reuse and recycle materials. Biodegradable items such as yard
clippings or grass, food and other things that can be naturally broken down are
separated in the waste segregation process. Often, these biodegradable items can be
used for composting purposes and recycled back into the environment. Non-
biodegradable waste will NOT break down for many years. Examples are plastics, metal
and glass. Some dangerous chemicals and toxins are also non-biodegradable, as are
plastic grocery bags, Styrofoam (polystyrene), and other similar materials but will
eventually break down over time.

Analysis
The figure shows that majority of the total families surveyed have a pour flush type of
toilet. It may due to lack of financial resources and low salience. Having this kind of
toilet facility is not much of a disadvantage; the only problem is if it is not frequently and
thoroughly clean because it might transmit communicable diseases. It also requires an
extra effort in pouring the water to flush. Meanwhile pit latrines are the most unsanitary
type of toilet facility as these serves as ideal breeding ground of disease vectors and
provides a high risk of cross infection

Analysis
The data shows that majority of families surveyed in the community have their own
toilet facility. It is ideal that a family has a toilet facility of their own to prevent transmission of
communicable diseases. Two -four families share toilet facility. A toilet being used by multiple
families has a high risk of transmitting diseases through cross contamination and the most
common procedure/way to prevent contamination is cleaning the toilet before and after using by
pouring water.

ANALYSIS
There's a reason dogs have long been called a man's best friend. Their loyalty,
intelligence, devotion and affection are incredibly rewarding. From taking a long walk
together on a beautiful spring morning, being greeted by a happily wagging tail at the
end of a long day to relaxing at home in each other's company, owning a dog can raise
spirits and engender a sense of wellbeing like almost nothing else. But dogs can be
health threat to everyone because some dogs on their community are not yet
vaccinated and also un kept. The bite unvaccinated dog cause rabies that could result
for a very serious health problem.
For that information the DOH provided the National Rabies Control. March is a
rabies awareness month and September 28 is World rabies day! Rabies is a 100% fatal
viral disease affecting the nervous system of humans and animals. It remains a serious
public health problem in the country which causes death of between 200-500 Filipinos
annually the Philippines ranked no. 6 among the countries have a highest incidence of
rabies in the whole world.
The rabies prevention and control program received its needed boost when Ex-
president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo sign into law the Republic Act No. 9482(An Act
Providing for the control and elimination of Human and Animal Rabies, Prescribing
penalties for violations)
Although rabies is not among the leading causes of diseases and death in the
country it has become a health problem of significance for two reasons: it is the one
most acutely fatal infection which can cause death to many Filipinos, and It remains to
be a serious public health problem in the country which causes the death of between
200-500 Filipinos annually the Philippines ranked no.6 among the countries have a
highest incidence of rabies in the whole world.

Analysis:
Food storage is both a traditional domestic skill and is important industrially. It is
important to protect the food from contamination. Store the food in a place that is safe,
hygienic, and at the same time should be clean. Most of the families are using
refrigerator for food storage this helps in prolonging the life of the food as well as
decreasing the incident of contamination. Some of them store their food in the table with
cover, cabinet, and basket. But there’s a high risk of contamination through some
vectors like cockroaches and rat which could lead to food contamination or food

The figure shows that 50% (n=50) of the families are non-acceptors of family planning.
41% (n=41) are acceptors and 9% (n=9) are defaulters
ANALYSIS
According to the data gathered, 50% (n=50) are non-acceptors of family planning. This
means that there is greater chance of the population to increase within the succeeding
years hence, the community may have a hard time in availing the basic needs.
Family planning helps to promote responsible parenthood through proper birth planning
and is allowing the couple to have the number of children they can adequately raise. An
increase in population will result to difficulty in availing health and educational
necessities, an increase in the rate of unemployment and inability of the children to
receive the immediate attention they need during their developmental stage of life.
The community, having the majority number of non-acceptors of family planning needs
to gain access to the information provided by the health center and be aware of the
importance and benefits of family planning.

According to the data 29% (n=29) are using artificial family planning such as
injectables, condoms and pills. This method of family planning is economical and
affordable. Some health centers provide injectables, condoms and pills at a very
affordable cost. It can be bought even without a doctor’s prescription. For some, the
effect lasts for several months.

ANALYSIS
Most of the infants in Lim B compound are either breastfed or bottle fed. This shows
that most of the residents of the community are aware of the benefits of both
breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
Breastfeeding helps in the child’s immunity and provides mother-child close relationship.
It also lessens the incidence of obesity, diabetes and the development of allergic
diseases to the infant. Milk formulas are fortified with many nutrients which are absent
or low in breast milk. There are laws which are implemented by our government
regarding breastfeeding, such are as follows, E.O. 51 which is known as “National Code
of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes, Breastmilk Supplements and Other Related
Products" and R.A 7600 which is known as Rooming-in and Breastfeeding.

81
In the data presented 100% (n=1) of infants aged 9 months above have been fully
immunized. 40% (n=4) of the 10 infants has age appropriate vaccinations and 50%
(n=5) has incomplete immunizations.
ANALYSIS
The data shows that a great deal of parents is not yet fully aware of the importance and
benefits of having to comply with the schedule of immunizations for infants.
Immunization is important for an infant’s immune system. It helps to control and
eradicate infectious diseases, it provides added protection for the infant not to acquire
preventable infectious diseases which is a big help for the parents and for the infant
himself.

Out of the 100 families surveyed, 53% (n=53) stated that their source of health
information are the health personnel and 47% (n=47) of the families’ source of health
information is the media.
Analysis
The health personnel, being the source of health information minimizes the
incidence of misinformation because they are more knowledgeable and credible when it
comes to health information. They entrust their health primarily to the doctors of the
community who provides medical services to the community free of charge. The media
is also a source of health information to some of the families because it is accessible
and is nowadays considered as an effective means of information dissemination though
it is not as accurate and credible as compared to the health personnel.

INTERPRETATION:
The Figure 28 shows that 34% (n= 34) of the family utilized the services of
health center; second, 33% (n=33) is prefer to the private clinic and 31% (n=31)
families are prefer to go to the hospital; and 2% (n=2) of family consult to the
albularyo’s.
The Figure 29 shows that the family who seek health services in the
hospital. 55% (n=17) prefer to the government hospital and 45% (n=14) on the
private clinic.
ANALYSIS:
The data shows that majority of families in the community are prefer to go
to the health center. Health center is a government program that help the people avail
free services that is much attainable, affordable and accessible; The most common
problems in the health center is Lack of Manpower and due to the number of people
availing the services some people weir rendered by going to the health center and last
Lack of health resources that why some of the families are prefer to go to the Private
clinic. And if the case is so very threatening they prefer to go the hospital especially at
the Government than at the Private Hospital. Because in the Government hospital they
can afford the billings rather than at the private but in terms of Quality private hospital
are prefer than government hospital.

health concepts which they are accustomed to believe like, in question no. 3 for
them experiencing headache, dizziness and edema of the face, hands and legs are
normal little do they know that these symptoms may be caused by a serious

The table shows that highest cause of death in the community is stroke, having 25%
(n=4) people died out of 498 people. Stroke is a “brain attack” that happens when a part
of the brain experiences a problem with a blood flow. These disruptions in blood flow
cuts off the supply of oxygen to the cells at the part of the brain. And the cells begin to
die, if the brain is damaged it can cause loss of speech, vision or movement in arm or
leg. Stroke is where serious cells in the brain become damaged and it cannot be
repaired or regenerated. But other areas of the brain may take over the work of the
damage portion.
In the Philippines the leading cause of mortality is heart diseases, next is CVA,
cancer, accidents but TB, Diabetes and prenatal complications are the most common
problem of mortality also at Lim B compound.
Because of our Different Lifestyles Like; Improper Diet, Lack of exercise, stress,

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
A community is a collection of people who share some attribute of their lives and
interact with each other in some way. They may live in the same location, attend a
Page
107
particular church, or even share a particular interest. Community diagnosis refers to the
identification and quantification of health problems in a community as a whole in terms
of mortality and morbidity rates and ratios, and identification of this correlates for the
purpose of defining those at risk or those in need of health care. Community Health
Nursing is a field of nursing that is a blend of primary health care and nursing practice
with public health nursing. Lim B compound is considered to be a depressed area in
San Dionisio according to its health center. It was a good place to conduct our
community diagnosis because there could be more existing and preexisting problems
that we can assess and identify. In which through those problems we can make give
recommendations and make action plans.
We the student nurses collect data about the community. This will be an
effective tool in assessing community health needs. Community diagnosis helps to find
the common problems or diseases, which are troublesome to the people and are easily
preventable in the community of Lim Compound.
, After three of community assessment, the student nurses had able to know the
condition of each family’s health status in Lim B Compound and must be able to identify
the direct influence of the community on the health of individual, families and sub-
population, and the condition of the people in the community.
Lim B Compound is exactly located in San Dionisio, Quirino Avenue, Parañaque City. A
total of 109 houses and a total of 135 families comprised the Lim B Compound
community. Only 100 families had been interviewed since the remaining 10 families
refused due to unavailability of respondents because of lack of interest, and they
Page
108
thought it is a waste of time. And 25 families are not surveyed because absence of their
presence during the time of interview. Majority of the population are from the group of
10-14yrs old wherein the males has bigger quantity from the females with ratio of 101
males for every 100 females in the community. According to the civil status, single is the
highest with ages 15 and above. There are 52 dependent individuals for every 100
productive persons. In terms of family structure, the majority of the families has a
nuclear type which they sustain all their basic needs from their family members like food
and water, shelter, clothing, health, education, savings, electricity and recreation. Most
of the families are patriarchal in decision-making. According to the data, most of the
people in Lim B Compound originated from the island of Luzon and majority are
Catholics. From the island of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, many of them believes in
superstitions about their health and culture that may lead a conflict to them. Most of the
employed people have blue collar jobs whom they engaged in jobs that require manual
labor. Majority in the blue collar jobs are those who have graduated in high school. Most
of them are permanent on their works due to the time they spent on their works. Majority
of the incomes which a family receives per month is less than the average wage a
family should have to provide the needs of each family member. Regarding to the status
of the ownership of their houses, majority of them owned it. Most of their houses are
made up of mixed materials such as wood and concrete. However, their ventilation
status is inadequate due to the lack of space of each house. While their lighting status is
adequate and each family is being served by a waterworks system. They excrete their
wastes on a pour flush type. On the other hand, their food is been stored mostly in the
refrigerator or on the table with cover. Their trash is being collected by the trash
Page
109
collector. However, they still practice open dumping method to throw their trash. In
terms of their pet ownership, most of the family has a pet cat that is not vaccinated.
While those people who take care of the dogs was been vaccinated and kept. The
service that is mostly utilized by the people living in Lim B Compound is the healthcare
center. While the others go to private clinic. Regarding to the health planning of the
family, most of them are “non-acceptor” that may have a greater chance to increase the
population within the succeeding years. But those who are are using natural family
method and 29% (n=29) are using artificial family planning method. Most infants are
being breastfeed by their mothers but some children are being mixed fed. Most of their
child is being immunized by the age of 9th month. The parents are not fully aware to the
immunization of their child. They stated that the source of information concerning health
is from the health personnel. On the other hand, the respondents still need to be
educated about some health concepts.
From the data collected in the community, three health problems had been
identified and should be prioritized for the benefit of the people living in Lim B
Compound. The three problems to be specific are the following: Waste segregation, fire
hazard and unemployment. through these problems we can give recommendations and
make action plan for possible solution to aid the existing problems and maintain a good
quality of life.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the problems identified in Lim B compound Manggahan San Dionisio

Paranaque City the students nurses recommend the following among the family,
community and health officials the maintenance and promotion of health and well being
of the population of the community:
• Family and community
The family must focus on the maintenance of a clean environment to

prevent the possible spread of microorganism which can lead in diseases. Each
family must learn how to do the proper hygienic measure, because it is prone to
infection and can cause a disease. The community must practice proper waste
disposal because it can cause transmission of the diseases. Since the majority of
houses in the community was made of mixed, they should be more be taught on
how to prevent burning or fire in order to prevent and reduce the risk of
accidents. In coordination with the barangay health Center, families must be
cooperating and help each other in sustaining their needs in terms of health and
support system.
• Barangay Health Officials
The Barangay Health Officials must observe and check the progress
and quality of the condition and health status of the community in terms of
promotion of health and illness prevention programs, and implementing programs
which can teach every families in proper hygiene, promoting sanitation and
having an adequate space of living. They must readily prepare themselves to any
foreseeable problems and unusual demands of like economic implications.
• Health Care Providers and Student Nurse
The Health Care Providers and Student Nurse assure the community
that they are reliable source of information regarding their health. They should be
Page
116
always ready and open for discussions and questions commonly asked by the
people in order for them to have an increased awareness and knowledge
