CHAPTER I. Introduction
Background of the study

The family is considered to be the essential unit of community, and is shaped
by all forces surround it. Values, beliefs, and customs of society influence the role
and function of the family. It is a unit of interacting persons bound by ties of blood,
marriage or adoption. Constitute a single household, interacts with each other in
their respective familial roles and create and maintain a common culture. The health
issues of members of the family are interlocking. The family as a group develops,
prevents, tolerates and resolves health issues within its membership. It has a key
effect on children's health and wellbeing. The family influences good behaviors,
offers treatment and promotes recovery from illnesses.
In the healthcare setting the family plays a vital role in achieving optimum
health. Improved relations between healthcare providers and family members are
vital for all stakeholders; healthcare professionals can rely on family members'
experience, family members are better prepared to conduct their treatment duties,
and patients can receive healthier care when structured and informal care is better
aligned. Today humanity is experiencing a phase of profound global changes related
to economic growth, population literacy, the phenomena of globalization,
demographic dimensions, immigration, changes in epidemiological behavior, and
others; all of which affect not only the health care system and the health care
environment, but are also fundamental forces that threaten the equilibrium of family
unity.
Community health care is critical since there are members of society who do
not have access to healthcare. Nurses operate in groups to reach individuals who
need help in addressing medical problems and improving their health. Community
Health Nursing taught us the basics of conducting home health assessments, since
we cannot meet face-to-face only the basics were taught to us by our respective
instructors.

CHAPTER II. Methodology
This chapter presented the entry protocol, data collection procedure,

sampling design and research design used by the researchers in conducting the
community diagnosis of Purok-5, South Poblacion, Maramag, Bukidnon.
Entry Protocol
An entry protocol is essential for the researchers in order to provide legal
notice during the conduct of the study. In line with this, the researchers prepared
a formal letter which was addressed to the Mayor of Maramag, Bukidnon. The letter
detailed the researchers’ intention of gathering data in the community of Purok-5,
South Poblacion, Maramag, Bukidnon essential to the study (Appendix A).
Data Collection
In the conduct of the study, the researchers first secured permission from
their Clinical Instructor. Then, an entry protocol was sent to the office of the
Municipality Mayor of Maramag for the approval of the researchers’ appeal to
conduct the study. After receiving approval from the Municipality Mayor of
Maramag, the researchers individually searched for a single willing household
respondent within the community of Purok-5, South Poblacion, Maramag, Bukidnon.
When a family acknowledged the researchers' request, the researchers first
provided an orientation to the family concerning the purpose of the study, the
overview of the possible questions that the assessment requires, and a scheduled
plan for the next meet while being cognizant of their availability. After the brief
orientation, the researchers revisited each household based upon the agreed
schedule and initiated the interview. However, the researchers asked the family’s
authorization beforehand in the matter of recording the entire interview using a
mobile phone to maintain a good relationship with the family and accurately
transcribe vital information about the family. Afterward, the researchers utilized a
semi-structured interview in assessing the family to muster information about their
family structure and relationship, existing health problems and health-related
information, house and household environment including their intracommunity
relationship. Subsequently, after successfully interviewing the selected families in
Page 12 of 78

Table 15 showed the herbal plants approved by the DOH utilized by the
families in Purok-5, South Poblacion, Maramag, Bukidnon. The Department of
Health of the Philippines circulated a list of “Ten scientifically validated” Philippine
medicinal plants in 1992 (R.A. No. 8423 – Phil. Institute of Traditional and
Alternative Health Care), that comprises acapulco, ampalaya, bawang, bayabas,
lagundi, niyog-niyogan, sambong, tsaang gubat, ulasimang bato, and yerba buena
(Odiem, 2013).
Sambong or Blumea balsamifera is one of the 10 approved medicinal plants
by the DOH that have been thoroughly tested and clinically proven to have
medicinal value in the relief and treatment of various ailments. Various methods of
treatment exist, including herbal treatment in the Philippines that uses the medicinal
herb Blumea balsamifera (Montealegre & De Leon, 2017). A very popular Philippine
herbal flowering plant used as medicine to treat wounds and cuts, rheumatism,
anti-diarrhea, anti-spams, colds and coughs. It is also used for infected wounds,
respiratory infections and stomach pains. Sambong is very popular among people
with kidney problems because of its diuretic qualities. It can be taken as an early
afternoon tea to maintain a healthy urinary tract. It also helps flush uric acid as
well. The Philippine National Kidney and Transplant Institute recommends taking
sambong for patients with renal problems. Studies noted that it may help to delay
dialysis and other kidney problems. Sambong also possesses antibacterial and
antifungal properties (Ragasa & Rideout, 2005).
Page 34 of 78
On the other hand, Bawang (Allium sativum) or Garlic in English is used in
Philippine herbal medicine to treat infection with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory,
anti-cancer and anti-hypertensive properties. It is widely used to reduce cholesterol
level in blood (Rivlin, 2001). Garlic is native to Central Asia and northeastern Iran,
and has long been a common seasoning worldwide, with a history of several
thousand years of human consumption and use (Block, 2010).
As stated by Jose and Principe (2002), the high cost of medicines and
treatment resulted in the growth in the number of self-medication which includes
individuals resorting to traditional medicines thus the growing demand for natural
products. Aside from financial considerations, people opt for herbal medicines
because of the belief that these medicines are harmless and have fewer side effects
compared from prescription drugs.

Chapter IV. Findings, Conclusion, and
Recommendation
This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusion, and the corresponding
recommendation.
Summary of Findings
This section shows the summary of the study. The research come up with the top
three (3) community diagnosis which is allergic rhinitis, hypertension, and colds. The
common cold is a viral infection of your nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). It's
usually harmless, although it might not feel that way. Many types of viruses can cause a
common cold. Children younger than 6 are at greatest risk of colds, but healthy adults
can also expect to have two or three colds annually. Most people recover from a common
cold in a week or 10 days. Symptoms might last longer in people who smoke.
Hypertension is another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to severe health
complications and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and sometimes death. Blood
pressure is the force that a person’s blood exerts against the walls of their blood vessels.
This pressure depends on the resistance of the blood vessels and how hard the heart has
to work. Allergic rhinitis or hay fever, is an allergic response to specific allergens. Pollen is
the most common allergen in seasonal allergic rhinitis. These are allergy symptoms that
occur with the change of seasons.
Conclusion
After the 5 hours shift, the researchers were able to address and assess the
family's health needs and current living status and give a proper health care to the family.
Therefore, the researchers were able to assess the potential health risks which are the
common colds, hypertension & allergic rhinitis present in the family using the health
assessment. The researchers identified data collected using health assessment in
accordance to the problems in the family. The researchers were able to educate the
clients through performing health teaching related to the problems of the family and/or
the community. The researchers were able to come up with the right and necessary
interventions and demonstrate excellence in management of client and health teachings
given from health learning's intervention guide. The researchers were able to
acknowledge problems in the family to determine which priority problems are needed to
Page 69 of 78
