INTRODUCTION

The family is the basic unit of the society and in contrast to community health nursing it

is considered as a unit of care. Consequently, it is the primary recipient of the nursing effort,

which is contributory to the development and progress of the community through active

involvement and self-responsibilities of each constituent of a father mother and children. The

impression or status of each family will always affect the status of the community as a whole.

Community health nursing is a response to the needs of the people. It does not focus on a

particular class or family alone. It is comprehensive and general in approach, the community as

a whole. Promotion and preservation of the health of different clients such as individual, family,

group or community is the primary goal of community health nursing.

The community is a group of people sharing geographic boundaries and / or values and

interests. With this a nurse exposed in the community learns how to interact and adopt to

different kinds of people because good communication brings understanding between a family

and a nurse which is vital to meet the needs through building rapport. It is in the family where

a member develops his health values, beliefs, and practices. The family is a major influence in

the health behaviors of an individual. Thus, it is important that families in the community are

aware of their values and practices pertaining to their health.

Conducting family case load is a means by which student nurse reaches and feels the

community through its basic structure – the family. It is a tool in determining the health status

of a family through assessment and critical inspection. Through this, health related problems

are identified, thus giving the student nurses a hint on where to act and how to intervene. It is

also a means towards improving the health of the community people, making them more

productive. To come up with a family case load gives a sense of fulfillment to the student

nurses as they are given the opportunity to share their skills, knowledge and time to alleviate

and uplift the living condition of a family. The family that was chosen by us is a picture of the

majority of the family here in our country: a family living in a poor environmental condition

without enough resources, lacks knowledge on vital health information and exercises other

socio-economic related with the problem. Though tiring as it is, reaching out to this family and

mingling with them makes the student nurse feel the sense of fulfillment.
OBJECTIVES

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

The family case load is designed for us student nurses and other health care

providers to widen our knowledge on Community Health Nursing, enhance our skills to

the delivery of basic health care services, and develop our right attitude in dealing with

different clienteles in the community.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

 To identify problem of our adopted family.

 To come up with a family nursing care plan base on the identified

problems of our adopted family.

 To enhance our skills in the family health nursing.

family.

ages 18, 12, 11, 5, 3, 1 y/o and 3 months respectively. The family lives in Barangay San Esteban, Iguig,

is a part time laundry woman that only works twice a week and makes P300 per load. The monthly

family gross income is Ten Thousand Eight Hundred Pesos (Php 9, 200) and they get additional Four

Thousand Eight Hundred (P4,800) quarterly which is equivalent to One Thousand Six Hundred (P1,600)

monthly from 4P’s. Both of them manages their financial budget whereas the family is able to meet their

basic needs such as foods, shelter, and clothing. Mr. DS is a Highschool graduate with diploma and Mrs.

ES is a elementary graduate. Their first child, DS1 is currently a 12th grade student and the second child,

DS2 is a 7th grade student at Iguig National High School. The third child DS3, is currently in 6th grade at

DS5 and RS are not yet studying and stay at home with Mrs. ES. The family’s religion is Catholic and they

usually visit their church and attends prayer meetings. The family also participates in the activities of

their community.

C. Home and Environment

The family lives in a small house with steel roofing and wood walls with an area of 42 square meters.

The house has no room and no windows, it has two beds where they all sleep together. Also, kitchen is

located inside with a dining table and and a small living room with a TV and radio. The household’s

drinking water is stored in a plastic jar with a faucet and is from a pump well located at their neighbor’s

house with a distance of 26.52 m to the house. They have their own toilet which is a pit-privy type and

unsanitary, it is located about 5 meters from their water source which is different from their source for

Mrs. ES has a dry cough for 5 days and her children have also present illnesses. The fourth child DS4

has cough and runny nose. The fifth child DS5 has been having a fever for 3 days . The sixth child DS6 has

been having a fever at night. Hence there has been spread of flu like symptoms in their household. The

mother practices the use of herbal medicines like boiled Lagundi plant for cough and also uses over-the-

counter drugs like paracetamol for fever. She also stated that when the illness of the family member is

severe, they seek medical assistance in their nearby Barangay Health Center. The family eat vegetables

on a daily basis from their small vegetable garden and when their finances permits to do so, they

incorporate meat in their meals

everyday while the mother do the household chores. As a form of relaxation, the father drinks

alcohol occasionally to relieve his stress while for the mother and the children they bond together,

read magazines or watch entertaining show in the television. During the night, the family uses bed

nets to protect them from mosquito bites. The family are into vegetables which is good since they

have their own little vegetable garden to maintain good health. Immunization were given to them

except for the sixth child who will be getting his last dose of measles on Oct. 16, 2019.sss
