to the following who contributed a lot of things for the completion of this study.

First, to the faculty and staff of the College of Health Sciences who spent

their time to guide and helped the researchers.

Second, to the very cooperative respondents who provided honestly data

and information regarding to the study.

Third, to the family who supported financially.

Above all, to the Heavenly Father for wisdom, knowledge and strength

that bestow upon the researchers to finish this research.

 INTRODUCTION

Community is defined as a group of living things sharing the same

environment. They usually have shared interests. In human communities, people

have some of the same beliefs and needs, and this affects the identity of the

group and the people in it. It's a group of people living in the same place or

having a particular characteristic in common. Clinical Practicum-Primary Health

Care Should be apply to every community for this is the basic rather than

specialized level for people making an initial approach to a doctor or nurse for

treatment.

The Bachelor of Science in Midwifery student were assigned at Barangay

New Pangasinan, Isulan, Sultan Kudarat. New Pangasinan is just one of the 17

barangays of Isulan, Sultan Kudarat, from Barangay Kalawag III across Allah

River and it is bounded by Barangay Katipunan, Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat and

Barangay Biwang, Bagumbayan Sultan Kudarat. Barangay New Pangasinan is

generally a flat valley lightly far from the center of Isulan which the municipality

building has placed, so this barangay is lightly silent and calm compare to the

other barangays that's near to the center of Isulan because in New Pangasinan

you can still always hear sound of birds, it's not over crowded and it is also far

from highways that causes very noisy sounds of cars. This barangay is not prone

to natural calamities but as a community it has a health and social problems that

accompanied the people whose living in it.

 Based on the survey taken, the main issues in that particular place, is that

most of them experience diseases because of unhealthy life style, pregnancy,

and the recent dengue outbreak researchers were able to see that they need

health education to prevent increasing number or rate of particular issues.

Hence, the group conducted a seminar on December 28, 2019 with the theme of

Disease Prevention and Healthy life style. The topics were about family planning,

awareness from dengue and healthy life style to avoid diseases. Knowledge is a

best weapon that anytime can be used as we do the primary prevention. There's

a saying that never fade, "prevention is better than cure".

 METHODOLOGY

In gathering data, the team used quantitative method; they conducted the

survey using guide questionnaire and interview. In our interview guide, it covered

the structures of the family, socio economic status, the vaccination status of their

children, their health status including their problem regarding health, and a topic

about health they want to know. In this interview guide, we can determine the

foreseeable crisis that they may encounter.

Beforehand, one of the College clinical instructors talked to the Barangay

Chairman for the approval of the community diagnosis. Upon receiving the

approval, the College instructor informed the students about the groupings and

what purok are they going to conduct the survey.

B. Types of Family Structure

 A nuclear family is composed of a father and mother with unmarried

children or a parent with children. Extended family refers to the household

composed of a nuclear family together with relatives like son-in-law, daughter-

in-law, grandson, granddaughter, father, mother and other relatives. These

family structures could affect how a family allot prioritize things especially

when it comes to health matters.

These data were gathered during the community survey in Barangay

New Pangasinan, Purok 2.

Table 4: Frequency Distribution table of Types of Family Structure

Surveyed in Barangay New Pangasinan, Purok 2.

TYPES OF FAMILY FREQUENCY PERCENTAGE

Nuclear 59 63.44

Extended 34 36.56

Total 93 100

Interpretation

The table 4 shows that out of 93 families surveyed, 59 families are nuclear

type of family structure. This composes 63.44 % out of 100 % of the families in

New Pangasinan, Purok 2. This comprises the majority of the families. The next

family structure type is extended, this account for 34 families or 36.56% of the

total population of the families in the community.

Analysis
 The families in barangay New Pangasinan, Purok 2, are mostly nuclear

family and some are extended type, it implies they practices independent

decision making about their family matters and do not rely complete on their

parents or grandparents or siblings.

Health implication

Since majority of the family is nuclear type of family, the financial budget

allotted for health expenses is lesser than the extended type of family. They are

more financially stable, and their health status is good compared to the other

type of family.

In a nuclear family, health can be of a great priority. First, since they are

smaller in size than the extended ones, they have more resources for health.

With parents on their side, children got to know what’s right and what’s not.

Nuclear family is characterized by a strong sense of solidarity. In an extended

family, health can also be easily managed because in an extended family, you

can help each other regarding health matters. Persons in an extended family

feel a more sense of belongingness because they feel they are a part of a larger

family, a larger entity. The fact that Filipino families love get together, extended

families make it possible for an individual to have a good social worth.

C. Civil Status

Civil status or marital status, are the distinct options that describe a

person's relationship with a significant other. Married, single, divorced, and

widowed are examples of civil status.

 Marital status and childhood family conditions also combine with education

to affect mortality. Education has a comparable effect on mortality for both

married men and women, but the negative effect of being single and having a low

education level has increased over time.

Table 5. Frequency Distribution of Civil Status in Barangay New

Pangasinan, Purok 2.

CIVIL STATUS FREQUENCY PERCENTAGE

Single 194 44.32%

Married 235 53.18%

Widow 11 2.5%

Total 440 100%

Interpretation

Above are figures and tables showing the frequency of the Civil Status of

people live in Barangay New Pangasinan, Purok 2. Majority of the respondents

are married which counts 235 out of 440 or 53.18% of their population. Second in

line are those who are single which counts 194 out of 440 or 44.32 % of the

population.

Analysis

For the data gathered for the civil status of people living in Barangay New

Pangasinan, Purok 2, ranked first is the married status which is composed of 235
individuals or 53.18%, next is the single status which is composed of 194

individuals or 44.32% and lastly are the widow status which is the lesser number

of population composed of 11 individuals or 2.5%. All in all, the total is 440

individuals or 100% of the total population of the community.

Health Implication

People belonging to Single status are on less risk of stress which is mainly

because they face fewer problems than those who are married because most of

married individuals already have families. Dealing with a family is a risky job

because it indicates that heading or leading a family is making yourself survive

including the lives of the family members.

According to the book entitled Principle of Community Health that married

couples have the potential in financial matters because they work hand-in hand

in supporting and providing the needs of their families. But it may also lead to

poverty when family planning is not practiced properly. On the other hand,

widows and separated have difficulties in supporting their own families both

financial and also in health matters because of the absence of guiding partners in

life.

A conflicted marriage or long-term relationship can have detrimental

effects on health, while a good one can protect them from disease and

speed recovery. Researchers have investigated that a good marriage could lower

the odds of developing metabolic syndrome, a collection of risk factors that

include, among other things, abdominal obesity, glucose intolerance, and high

blood pressure.

Since most of the population in the Barangay New Pangasinan, Purok 2 is

married. This implies they are more risky than single type for they are facing

more problems about family matter.

D. Ethnic Origin

An ethnic group is a group of humans whose members identify with each

other, through a common heritage that is real or presumed. It is further marked

by the recognition from others of a group’s distinctiveness and the recognition of

common cultural, linguistic, religious, behavioural traits as indicators of contrast

to other group.

The Philippine islands are inhabited by a number of different ethnic groups

that is why we are studying the different ethnic backgrounds present in Barangay

New Pangasinan, Purok 2. This is in relation to the study of the cultural

background of their community. By knowing these things, we will be able to

identify the different health practices of the people in relation to their culture.
Table 6: Frequency Distribution table of Types of Tribe Surveyed in

Barangay New Pangasinan, Purok 2. As of December 2019

Tribe Frequency Percentage

Ilocano 385 84.99%

Ilonggo 50 11.04%

Bisaya 15 3.11%

Maguindanaon/ Maranao 3 0.66%

Total 453 100%

Interpretation

The table showed all the total frequency of Four Hundred Fifty Three (453)

in which the Ilocano has the numerous numbered of tribe with the total of Three

Hundred Eighty Five (385) equivalent of Eighty Four point Ninety Nine (84.99%).

Ilonggo numbered Fifty respondents equivalent of Eleven point Four percent.

Visaya total numbered is Fifteen (15) equivalent of Three point Eleven percent

(3.11%). Lastly, muslim get the lowest number of tribe with the total of Three (3)

equivalent of Zero points Eleven percent (0.11%).

Analysis

Majority of the tribe in the population in New Pangasinan, Purok 2 are mostly

Ilocano. And Maguindanaon/Maranao is the least number of tribe populations

that are living in there.

Health Implication

Knowing that there are many ethnic groups present in our community,

nurses would have to learn the different practices of these groups to provide

quality care.

Other than that, the medical group should be open, aware and updated

for the possible diseases that may possibly occur because of the different

ethnicity present. The medical team should learn more techniques on giving

care to those ethnic groups that have different practices from the majority;

Therefore, midwives should give more attention to the minority so that they won’t

feel out casted.

Since Ilocano are most numbered tribe population, their health belief

matters on their culture.

E. Educational Attainment

Educational attainment refers to the highest level of education that a

person attained. It can be categorized as a College Graduate, High School

Graduate, Elementary Graduate, Vocational and No Formal Education.

Table 7: Frequency and percentage showing the educational attainment in

New Pangasinan, Purok 2, as of December 20, 2019.

High School graduate 73 16.46

College level 59 13

College graduate 104 23

0-3 years old 27 5.96

Total 453 100

Interpretation

The table shows the educational attainment of Purok Dos residence in

New Pangasinan. Researcher’s findings showed the total numbered of College

Graduates is One Hundred Four (104) equivalents of Twenty Three percent

(23%) while the College level numbered of Fifty Nine (59) equivalent of Thirteen

percent (13%). High School level is Eighty Four (84) equivalent of Eighteen point

Four (18.4) while the High School Graduate numbered Seventy Three (73)

equivalent of Sixteen point Fourty Six percent (16.46%). Elementary level is

Seventy Three (73) equivalent of Fifteen point Nine percent (15.9%) while the

Elementary Graduate numbered Thirty Seven (37) equivalent of Seven point

Twenty Eight percent (7.28%). Especially; the non school respondents numbered

the lowest total of Twenty Seven (27) equivalent of Five point Ninety Six percent

(5.96%).

Analysis (please review and improve this –maam Iril)

The highest educational attainment in the population is college graduate. It

implies that they are more qualified to have a stable job. But there are also 73

people who graduated in high school and 73 who are only in elementary level,

they are the ones who are financially at risk for they are not qualified in any job

qualification.

Health Implication

Since the majority of the population is college graduate, they are more

capable to provide their needs, but the second in rank are high school level

which did not finish schooling. In this case most of the people are not that

knowledgeable about health matters which may lead them to become

dependent on what they already knew which is not within the standard of

health. Inadequate knowledge about health, wellness and disease prevention

makes them ignorant on what is good and what is bad for their health. Those

that stop pursuing their studies and currently unemployed may practice

sedentary lifestyle and continue their vices which can cause them to have

different complications like Hypertension, Cancer and many more. These effects

may lead to increase mortality and morbidity rates.

 F. Occupation

Occupation is an act of working and earning money to be used for living.

This Data shows the occupations of employed citizens in New Pangasinan Purok

3 Zone B, this part of the community diagnosis is important to know how in this

community earn their living.

points Four percent (1.04%). Lastly, Seaman, Appraiser, Utility, Waitress,

Midwife, Hydraulic mechanic, Fisherman and Electrical maintenance are

percentage of Zero points Thirty Five percent (0.35%)

Analysis

Most people in the community are farmers and housewives which means

the community works a lot but receives little income. As we all know, some of the

people in the community did not finished their studies and it is one of the reasons

why farming is the prioritized occupation in the community. Influence of the

dominant family members is what pushed the younger generation to stop and

pursue farming. Farming is also the top occupation due to the geographical

location of the community which is formed by bodies of land.

Health Implication (pls Support – maam Sally)

Farming is the top occupation of the community hence, there are many

health implications concerning this result of the survey. This just means that it

may have a negative impact in the financial capability of a family in the

community. And since most of the community has farming as an occupation in

most families, these people are more prone to develop many acute and chronic

health conditions such as skin cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory disease,

injury related to farming, noise-induced hearing loss, musculoskeletal conditions,

cancers implicated with agricultural exposures, etc.

G. Religion
 Any institution of an individual to express one’s belief in the existence of a

divine power. A religion is the foundation of one’s spiritual aspect which

strengthen one’s emotional and physical health.

Table 9. Frequency and Percentage Distribution of Religious Sector in

Barangay New Pangasinan, Purok 2.

Religion Frequency Percentage

Roman Catholic 281 62.03%

Seventh Day Adventist 11 2.43%

Church of God 50 11.04%

United Faith 82 18.1%

Alliance 4 0.88%

Spiritual Salvation 1 0.22%

Born Again 2 0.44%

Wesleyan 1 0.22%

Total 453 100%

Interpretation

This table in religion shows that the total frequency is 453. The greater

numbers of respondents were Roman Catholic which is 281 equivalent of

62.03%, followed by United faith that is 82 in total which is equivalent to 18.1%.

Next is Church of God with the total of 50 and equivalent to 11.04%, Seventh-day

Adventist Is 11, equivalent of 2.43%, Iglesia Ni Cristo Is 6, equivalent to 1.32%,

Baptist is 5, equivalent to 1.1%, Victory, Methodist and Alliance are 4 in total with

the equivalent of 0.88%, Jesus Is Lord, Islam, Spiritual Salvation and Wesleyan

Are 1 with the equivalent of 0.22: and Born Again Is 2 with the equivalent of

0.44% out of 100%.

Analysis

Majority of the population belongs to Roman Catholic. This is

predominantly because of the influence of the Spaniards who invaded the

Philippines in the 17th Century, which conquered the country for 333 years. This

implies that the cultures and values of the Spaniards have already been adopted

by the Filipinos.

Dagdagan daw – maam sally

Health Implications

Since majority of the population is Catholic, majority of them practices the

same beliefs and traditions, and the way they engage in activities held in the
community are almost the same and connected to Catholic belief. The Catholic

religion does not have many restrictions when it comes to diet and cultures which

makes them more prone to risks of having any kinds of diseases.

The advantages of having a Catholic Religion are the free will which will not

restrict the physical and social pleasures of anyone who belongs to that religion.

Fiesta and Christmas are the events of which the Filipinos are not able to

regulate their eating habits. Though this does not affect much of the health of a

person, it can affect the health of those who are in risk of any diseases like

hypertension. It is proven that cholesterol heightens and triggers the decline of

the health of a person at risk of hypertension.

There are also health promotion programs that deal a lot with religion such as

Family Planning especially the artificial kind of family planning. Even if they want

to perform tubal ligation, they are not allowed to do so because it is against the

religion. Also, abortion is prohibited in most of the religion because it declines the

favor of pro-life and decreases the number of possible believers in all of the

religions.

H. House Hold Size

Household size is essentially the number of persons for whom you are financially

responsible. Some of these persons may not be residing with you.

Table. 10 Frequency and Percentage Distribution of Household size in New

Pangasinan, Purok 2.

Household Size Frequency Percentage

4-6 48 51.61%

7-9 11 11.83%

10 and above 1 1.07%

Total 93 100%

Interpretation

The table in household size shows that the frequency of 1-3 members is

33 which is equivalent to 35.48% less than the frequency of the 4-6 members

which is 48 that equivalent to 51.61% and greater than to the frequency of 7-9

members which is 11 that equivalent to 11.83% and greater than the frequency

of 10 and above members which is 1 that equivalent to 1.07%.

Analysis

Since the majority of the house hold size is 4-6 persons equivalent to

51.61% it implies that the space in the house is wider.

(Add analysis connect nuclear family – maam sally)

Health Implications
 If the area of the house is not crowded, there are less chances of not

acquiring contagious disease due to small population inside the house. It gives

less stress in terms of financial problems and they can focus in their health.

The table in dominant family member showed the overall total numbered

of Ninety Three (93). Farther numbered with the total of Forty Six (46) equivalent

of Forty Nine points Forty Six percents ( 49.46%). Mother numbered the total of

Fourty Three (43) equivalent of Fourty Six points Twenty Four (46.24%). Others

numbered of Four (4) equivalent to Four points Three percent (4.3%)

Analysis
 Most Filipino families have patriarchal type of family authority because

of our view that the male has the right to control and lead the family. Males also

are the ones who usually work and earn those are the reasons why males have

the right to decide for his family. But some are matriarchal, which means the

mother is the one deciding most of the time for the family. Some reasons for this

are because of the absence of the father, another is the mother is the one who

works and earns for the family.

Patriarchal type of authority has been found to be prevalent in many

societies. Miralorol (1997) avers that the male dominance is deeply rooted in

Filipino culture. Some of the families tend to be matriarchal because it is based

on customary laws, they have the right to be equal to men. The modern Filipina

wife also is being more enlightened and more knowledgeable of what is going

on around her and is no longer just confined to the home.

Health Implications

The effect of having patriarchal type in health matters is that it is

not usually the father’s task to focus on his family’s health because they are the

ones who work. The result would be that health matters can be compromised

until the time comes that father decides. In a matriarchal type, health matters is

not an issue since mother, as all we know, she is the one who takes care when

someone in the family is sick. (not clear review or restate this part- maam bam)

As a family man, a husband’s role is to support his family. They

are the ones expected to be responsible for supporting the family. In the
Philippines, women are traditionally caregivers. Various study of Filipino

couples show that there are certain areas where decisions are made either

by the wife alone, by the husband alone, or by the husband and wife jointly.

In general, the domain of the husband is the outside work, while of the wife is the

household

II. Socio Economic Variable

A. Monthly income

9,001-10,000 8 8.6%

more than 10,000 36 38.71%

Total 93 100%

Interpretation
 This table Shows the frequency percentage distribution of the monthly

income of the respondents ; The table for the monthly income shows that the

frequency of More than 10,000 monthly income is 36 which is equivalent to

38.71% greater than the frequency of 3001 to 5000 monthly income is 15 which

is equivalent to 16.13% greater than the frequency of below 1000 monthly

income 12 is equivalent to 12.9% Greater than the frequency of 1000 to 3000

monthly income is to 10 which is equivalent to 10.75% greater than the frequency

of 9001 to 10,000 and 7001 to 10,000 is 4. 3%.

Analysis

Since 36 of the total population in the community have more than

10,000 pesos salary income per month, it implies that they can easily supply their

health needs. There are also 15 respondents who are receiving 3001-5000

pesos monthly, they can supply their needs but just the important once.

Health Implications

Since majority of the community people are within Php 10000

monthly incomes, the community will have the capacity to spend for their health

and use these resources to improve their health status. In addition, if there are

health related programs in the community it will be easier for the families to

implement it. If their income is sufficient for them, they can ensure that they

have a better health status as compared to those who are not. If the income is

insufficient, the dependency ratio again will increase so with the morbidity and
mortality rate. A family who is under the category 9000 below monthly income

has a chance or at risk to a health problem like malnutrition, and other

unhealthful lifestyle, and personal habits or practices due to the financial

constraints. The better income leads to better health. A further characteristic of

health human capital is that it is positively correlated with other forms of human

capital. Healthy individuals, for instance, are on average better nourished and

better educated than individuals in poor health. However, both health and

education increase labor productivity. Health has the additional feature that by

reducing the time spent in sickness, it increases the total amount of time

available to produce money earnings and commodities, as well as the time

available for leisure.

the frequency of 50 to 70 pesos per day is 7 which is equivalent to 7.53% greater

than the frequency if below 50 per day is 6 which is equivalent to 6.42%.

Analysis

The data shows that 62 respondents can afford 75 pesos per day, it

implies that they can eat three times a day. (improve your analysis – maam Iril)

Health Implications

Eating three times a day can prevent starvation that can causes certain

complications such as ulcer. It also helps every individual to perform their daily

activities. (add more health implications- maam bam)

greater than the frequency of twice a year is 18 which is equivalent to 19.35%

greater than the frequency of thrice a year is 10 which is equivalent to 10.75%.

Analysis (change- maam bam, iril , sally)

Most of the family buys clothes once a year since they want to save

money so they use their clothes as long as they can be used. Among Filipino

traditions we tend inherit some clothes from our older relatives.

Health Implication (change- maam bam, iril , sally)

Majority of the people in barangay New Pangasinan, purok 2 is buying

clothes once a year the garments we wear can affect our mental state in positive

and negative ways. People in the community mostly wear clothes repeatedly

because there are no other new clothes to be worn. Some of the respondents

boost their confidence for wearing new fashion clothes while some of them are
feeling out of style and it can be another concern that people can cause self-

shame and low confidence leading to anxiety or depression.

C. Housing

Interpretation ( change – Maam Sally)

This table Shows the frequency percentage distribution for the family

expenditures in housing: The table for the family expenditures for housing shows

that the frequency of water is 90 which is equivalent to 96.77% less than the

frequency of expenditures of electricity that is 93 which is equivalent to 100% and

greater than to the frequency of telephone expenditures that is 3 which is

equivalent to 3.23%.

Analysis
 Electricity is the first thing needed in the house. There are 93 families,

according to the survey that uses appliances which consequently requires

electricity. Water on the other hand, landed on top 2, each of the family have

their own source of water, but when in terms of drinking water they are buying

and refilling it on the water station.

Health Implication (Change – maam sally, Iril)

The physical needs inherent in all human beings: among them are the needs

for oxygen, food, fluids, sleep and procreation to assure the continuation of

human existence. Physiological needs High frequency of families who prioritize

food as their basic needs decreases the frequency of families who are at risk of

hunger and malnutrition. Meeting the physiological needs will automatically

enable them to acquire the need for security. In contrast, people who perpetually

ignore giving funds for their health care will be provided with less medical

attention or medical treatment. Hence, increases morbidity rate.

D. School Expenditures

prevent certain problems about their health and they can easily understand

information regarding health.

House and Environmental Condition

Land Ownership is an object or right that can be owned. Ownership involves,

first and foremost, possession; in simple societies to possess something is to

own it. Beyond possession, ownership in modern societies implies the right to

use, prevents others from using, and disposes of property, and it implies the

protection of such rights by the government. Ownership may be public or private.

Public ownership is ownership by the government. Private ownership is

ownership by an individual.

A. Lot

LOT Frequency Percentage

Lot rented 7 7.53%

Owned 80 86.02%

Rent free 6 6.45%

Total 93 100%

Interpretation
 The table for homes shows that the frequency of owned lots is 80 which is

equivalent to 86.02% greater than the frequency of lot rented is 7 which is

equivalent to 7.53%greater than the frequency of other reasons is 6 which is

equivalent to 6.45%.

Analysis

Data showed most of the families that were surveyed in Brgy. New

Pangasinan owned their land, in which most of the families living in that certain

place owned their houses. Most of the families we had interviewed living in that

place are all permanent residents because it is more practical to their part if they

have their own land than renting if they have stayed there for long.

Health Implications

Owning a land is a legal right to do whatever you want with your land without

interference from anyone else, including government. Owning a land reduces

financial burden, meaning you don’t have to rent a land where in you can

construct a house for your family. It also shows in the numbers of the family that

own a land tend to secure their home for their own health and according to

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs owning a land could not only provide safety and

security but also reduce stress.

The effect of owning a land in the community is free from financial burden and

the money that allotted for renting a land should allocated for the income of their

health. Owning a land can reduce having risk communicable diseases. Home

ownership for us Filipinos is the foundation of our security and constancy;

it is an abstraction, a source of power and wealth, a tool for other

purposes also it is use for the long term benefit of not only the people but also

their community.

B. House

House Frequency Percentage

Rented 6 6.45%

Owned 85 91.4%

Rent free 2 2.15%

Total 93 100%

Interpretation (correlate your analysis to the house and lot data – maam

sally)

The table for house shows that the frequency of owned house is 85 which

is equivalent to 91.4% greater than to the frequency of rented house is 6 which is

equivalent to 6.45% and greater than to the frequency of other reasons which is

2 is equivalent to 2.15%.

Analysis (add those whose lot are owned/rented with compound families or

2-3houses maam- bam)

Most of the resident that were surveyed in Brgy. New Pangasinan owned

a house since most of them owned already a land of their own, they are also

permanently residing in that place and it is already their place of origin, it is more

practical to their part if they have their own land than renting if they have
stayed there for long and especially when their occupation or work is within the

community already.

Health Implications

Home ownership provides many benefits far beyond financial growth. It’s

a place you can make your own; raise a family; share precious moments; and,

feel safe and secure. The road to home ownership is a process, which

includes preparing yourself both emotionally and financially According to

Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, home belongs to the physiologic need which is

everyone’s basic needs.

All people have the same basic needs are influenced by their culture.

Throughout their lifetime individuals strive to meet needs. A person’s perception

need and his/her response to satisfy a need may be influence by a stimulus

Home Ownership greatly affects the daily living of the residents in community

because they are aware of having an adequate living space which minimizes

the spread of diseases and lessens the number of persons living in the squatter’s

area.

Aside from preventing diseases, they also have an assurance of having a

shelter that they can call their own for a long time. Owning a house in the

community is free from financial burden and the money that allotted for renting a

house should be allocated for the income of their health care services.
C. Type Of House

A construction material is an artificial engineering material made from a mixture

of cement, water, fine and coarse aggregates, and a small amount of air, and

woods.

is 39 which is equivalent to 41.94% is greater than to the frequency of wood type

is 8 which is equivalent to 8.6% greater than to the frequency of makeshift is 2

which is equivalent to 2.15% and last is the frequency of other types is 0.

Analysis

In Barangay New Pangasinan, 44 of the families use strong materials in

building their houses. Since majority of the respondents owned their land which

is about 80 and house which about 85 concrete which is 44, they have the

tendency and capability to build their houses with strong materials. It can also be
related to the availability of the resources in building houses, strong materials are

more prevalent nowadays because of change in trends in lifestyle and

generation. Least houses are built with light materials or mixed type of house.

Health Implications

Materials used in constructing a house affect the safety of each member of

the family. If the material is free from any disaster like flood and earthquake

because the foundation of their house is strong. Families who own a concrete

houses are free from accidents caused by strong winds and also fire, because it

is made from cement. Therefore, the stronger the materials used in building

houses the safer the health of the family who resides. Moreover, it can also

reduce the accidents related to the children like for example hanging nails, if the

house is made of wood.

D. Ventilation
 Everyone is affected by the quality of our air, whether indoors or outdoors.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention works to identify and measure

exposure to hazards in air and to prevent health effects related to those hazards.

Every people should acquire proper ventilation in their own houses

VENTILATION Frequency Percentage

Poor 9 9.68%

Good 84 90.32%

Total 93 100%

Interpretations

The table for house ventilation shows that the frequency of good

Ventilated house is greater than the poor ventilated house. The frequency of

good ventilation is 84 which is equivalent to 90.32% while poor ventilated is 9

which is equivalent to 9.68%.

Analysis

From the data we gathered, it shows that the majority of the household

have a ventilated houses. This has connection with the adequacy of living space.

If a family perceives their place as adequate from them they associate this with

the adequacy of ventilation, on the other hand, some of the surveyed family

perceived inadequacy of ventilation because they also associated with their in

adequacy of living space which is 90.32% who perceived that their house is

poorly ventilated which is 9.68%.

Health Implications

Most houses situated are well ventilated because of the good construction

and facilities of their houses which provides good circulation of air inside their

house. If too little outdoor air enters a home, pollutants can sometime

accumulate to levels that can pose health and comfort problems. A factor that

could influence air condition in the community is if taking care of pets such as

chicken and pigs.

E. Lighting

Lighting facility defined as the artificial means of providing light and

illumination. Facilities used already reflect adequacy and safety for the family.

Electric current, especially when used as a source of power. Candle is a molded

piece of wax, tallow, or other fatty substance, usually cylindrical in shape, with a

wick running through it. The encased wick burns slowly, giving light or providing

decoration. Battery operated is also one of another way to use a source of light

within the house.

Analysis

From the data gathered, it shows that majority of the family have well-

lighted houses. If the family perceives their places as adequate for them, they

associated this with the adequacy of lighting.

Health implication

Most houses situated are well lighted of the electricity of their houses

which provides inside their house. If the community has a sufficient light there

would be fewer cases of accidents and there would be less cases of poor vision

because all the fields can clearly be seen.

F. Surroundings

Dirty 4 4.3%

Total 93 100%

Interpretations

The table for the surrounding shows that the frequency of clean

surroundings is greater than the dirty surroundings. The frequency of clean

surroundings is 89 which is equivalent to 95.7% and the frequency of dirty

surroundings is 4 which is equivalent to 4.3%.

Analysis (improve your analysis be specific – maam bam, sally)

Filipinos preserves nature. Some proof of these is the campaigns

established by the governments, organizations and people of the community. Our

environment has the greatest factor involving human activities. Therefore, it is

necessary to observe cleanliness in the surroundings.

Health Implications

Human interact with the environment constantly. This interactions affect

quality of life, years of healthy life lived and health disparities. The World Health

Organization (WHO) defines environment as it relates to health. (missing context)

Since majority of the surroundings in Purok 2 Barangay New Pangasinan is clean

it can influence people behavior and motivation to act. The surroundings can

influence mood, the people in the community can improve health outcomes such

as the depression and when it comes to disease it has a lesser chance to acquire

disease like diarrhea, cholera and dengue.

 Analysis

Water supply and sources conducted at the barangay, each of the houses

have their own source of water supply, the artesian well define its quality vary

and commonly used.

Health Implications (missing context – maam sally)

As we conducted a massive community health diagnosis at Purok 2

Barangay New Pangasinan Sultan Kudarat the source of water and majority of

those we surveyed. Poor water supplied impacts health and it can cause

adverse health effect like acute infectious diarrhea, repeat chronic diarrhea,

amoeba and none diarrheal disease, which can arise from chemical species such

as arsenic and fluoride. It can also affect health by limiting productivity and the

maintenance of personal hygiene.

The table for containers used shows that the frequency of respondents

using plastic containers is 74 which is equivalent to 75.51% greater than the

frequency of bottle users which is 18 equivalent to 18.37% greater than the

frequency of respondents using other containers which is 6 equivalent to 6.12%.

Analysis

In ancient Filipinos tradition, they used to preserve food using containers

since refrigerator and some other high technology, appliances are not present.

They manage to maintain their food and drinks to last for a couple of days or

weeks. Therefore, until now most of the people possess that tradition in order to

save money and lessen expenses.

Another thing is that most families have the privilege to acquire plastic

containers when buying in water refilling stations. Also, it is very easy to find
plastic containers since plastic containers are very common especially in the

urban areas.

Health Implications

Most of the families preserve their food and drinks in order to maintain

cleanliness and sanity which is a good practice for observing good health.

Therefore, maintaining and preserving food and drinks are necessary for every

individual in order to avoid some disease relating to food poisoning and

contamination. Though most of the families use plastic container and covering

food only. Uncovered drinking water storage may be at risk of some infections.

Some vectors may leave bacteria and viruses to water if we leave them

uncovered which result Individuals may have a probability of ingesting

contaminated drinking water that may sometimes lead to diseases.

Analysis (change according to your data maam sally)

The data implies that the respondent uses flush type of toilet facility that

has 58.82% of users followed by watered sealed and have equivalent percentage

of 36.27%.

Health Implications (improve this – maam iril)

Although it can be preventive if humans can dispose their waste

properly. Using water sealed latrine can prevent the spreading of disease

in barangay if properly use. It is significant to note that there has been an

increase in the proportion of households having sanitary toilet facilities both in the

urban and rural areas but there is also an increase in the absolute number of

persons which do not have an access to sanitary toilet facilities in the sense that

the mothers still allow their children to move their bowel elsewhere despite of the

presence of toilets in their own homes. (Public Health Nursing in the Philippines,

Cuevas, Frances Prescilla, page 314)

J. Garbage Disposal
 Waste or garbage disposal management is the collection, transport,

processing, recycling, and monitoring of waste materials. It is usually

pertains to materials produced by human activity, and is generally undertaken

to reduce their effect on health which is the environment. Waste management

practices differ for developed nation, for urban and rural areas, and for

residential and industrial producers. Management for non-hazardous

residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the

responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-

hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of

the generator.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL Frequency Percentage

Collection 78 67.82%

Burning 35 30.43%

Open Dumping 2 1.73%

Total 115 100%

equivalent to 1.73%.

Analysis
 The majority of the people in the barangay used garbage collection as a

way of disposal system because it is properly implemented, accepted and

monitored on a specified day.

Health Implications

It is important that every home should have a proper waste disposal system.

Improper garbage disposal system may lead to some diseases. Although a trash

can that is being used in garbage collection method is the cause of transmission

of diseases, this could be maintained if it is properly used and implemented. It

promotes cleanliness and lessen transmission of diseases. (redundant, remove

or restate it – maam sally, bam)

K. Food Storage

It is the means of holding and protecting commodities for later use. Storage

facilities are tailored to the needs of accessibility, security, and climate. It is a

safe keeping of amount of goods and also for protection against some

food borne diseases. In all storage facilities, fireproof materials such as

concrete and steel are preferable. These materials lend themselves readily to

prefabrication and have good insulating and acoustic properties

FOOD STORAGE Frequency Percentage

which is equivalent to 53.92% and greater than the frequency of uncovered

storage is 1 which is equivalent to 0.98%. (add that there are households who

answered both or utilize ref & covered)

Analysis

It is best that we store our foods in a safe and convenient place where we

can avoid contamination and spoilage. The data gathered showed that the

households in Baranggay New Pangasinan are ensured that they are away from

contamination and spoilage

Health Implications

To retain quality and nutritive value, stock only the kinds and amounts of food

you can store properly. (add more on safety of food storage and health – maam

Analysis

According to the data each houses have different kind of animals, it

implies that the respondents can easily provide poultry and pork meat, aside from

the fact that Filipinos are fond of having dogs and cats as their pets.

Health Implications
 Since a majority member of the community has animals in their house there is

also a higher chance for the community to have infected of rabies. Furthermore

there will be also greater occurrence of skin infection that can be acquired from

these animals. Other effect of it is that it can trigger asthma attacks because of

their allergies to fur. (redundant or remove it if contradicts note: animals can also
