 LESSON 1: Public Health Nursing (PHN)

It is a systematic process by which the health and health care needs of a

population are assessed in order to identify subpopulations, families and individuals who
would benefit from health promotion or who are at risk of illness, injury, disability or
premature death (APHA, 2013). On the other hand, the American Nurses Association
(2013) also defined Public health nursing as “the practice of promoting and protecting
the health of populations using knowledge from nursing, social, and public health
sciences.”

Definition and Focus

 Public Health Nursing is an umbrella term that encompasses

Community Health Nursing. Both have the main goal of promoting,
preserving, and maintaining the community’s health.
 Emphasis on the importance of the “greatest good for the greatest
number”
 Community is a collection of people who interact with one another and
whose common interest or characteristics gives them a sense of unity and
belonging.
 Public Health Nurses are trained and educated to assess the population
overall of the world. Instead of waiting for patients to come to the
hospital with an illness, they go into communities to try and help people
improve their health and prevent disease.
 Health is defined as a state of physical, mental and social well being not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity (WHO,2020). It is also
conceptualized as a source for every day living. It is a positive idea that
emphasizes social and personal resources and physical inabilities. Each
person has a personal perception of health. Some people describe their
state of health as good even though they may actually have one or more
diagnosed illness (that is because each person perceives health in relation
to personal expectations and values).
 Wellness is a life – style aimed at achieving physical, emotional,
intellectual, spiritual and environmental well being. The use of wellness
measures can increase stamina, energy and self – esteem, then enhance
quality of life.
 Physical Health implies a mechanistic functioning of the body.
 Mental Health means the ability to think clearly and coherently and has
to do with your thinking and feeling and how you deal with your problem.
  Social Health is the ability to make and maintain relationship with others
and interact well with people and the environment.
 Health Promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control
over, and to improve their health. Also, to reach a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being, an individual or group must be able
to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or
cope with the environment.
 Health Education is any combination of learning experiences designed
to help individuals and communities improve their health, by increasing
their knowledge or influencing their attitudes.
 Disease Prevention is a procedure through which individuals,
particularly those with risk factors for a disease, are treated in order to
prevent a disease from occurring.

THE 3 FEATURES OF A COMMUNITY

1. Location:
Every physical community carries out its daily existence in a specific
geographical location. The health of the community is affected by this
location,including the placement of the service and the geographical features.
2. Population:
Consists of specialized aggregates, but all of the diversed people who live with in
the boundary of the community.
3. Social system:
The various parts of communities’ social system that interact and include the
heath system, family system, economic system and educational system.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING

Eight characteristics of CHN are particularly salient to the practice of this specialty:
1) It is a field of nursing;
2) It combines public health with nursing;
3) It is population focused;
4) It emphasizes prevention, health promotion, and wellness;
5) It promotes client responsibility and self-care;
6) It uses aggregate measurement and analysis;
7) It uses principles of organizational theory; and
8) It involves interprofessional collaboration

PRINCIPLES OF PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING

PRINCIPLE 1: FOCUS ON COMMUNITY
 The client or unit of care is the population
PRINCIPLE 2: GIVE PRIORITY TO COMMUNITY NEEDS
The primary obligation is to achieve the greatest good for the
greatest number of people or the population as a whole

ROLES OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING

Seven Major Roles are:

Clinician

Educator

Advocate

Managerial

Collaborator

Leader

Researcher

THREE LEVELS OF PREVENTION IN PUBLIC HEALTH (WHO,2020)

I. Primary Prevention: Improving the overall health of the population

Target: Healthy Population
Aim: Avoiding the development of a disease or injury
Examples: Vaccination and Health Promotion/ Public education
II. Secondary Prevention: Improving
Target: Population at risk
Aim: Early detection of diseases, thereby increasing opportunities for
intervention to prevent the progression of the disease
Examples: Health check-ups (e.g. BP assessment), Screening (e.g.
Pap smears) and Early Detection of Disease
III. Tertiary Prevention: Improving treatment and recovery
Target: The Sick
Aim: Proper rehabilitation of patients with an established disease to
 minimize residual disabilities and complications
Examples: Rehabilitation services/ Integrated patient-centred disease
management

LESSON 1: Review of Related Literature and Studies

Health Care Delivery

People-centred care is care that is focused and organized around the health
needs and expectations of people and communities, rather than on diseases. Whereas
patient-centred care is commonly understood as focusing on the individual seeking care
(the patient), people-centred care encompasses these clinical encounters and also
includes attention to the health of people in their communities and their crucial role in
shaping health policy and health services (WHO, 2020). The following are the different
system related to the Philippine health care delivery system:

World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the

United Nations responsible for international public health. The WHO
Constitution, which establishes the agency's governing structure and
principles, states its main objective as "the attainment by all peoples of
the highest possible level of health."
The Department of Health (DOH) is the executive department of the
Government of the Philippines responsible for ensuring access to basic
public health services by all Filipinos through the provision of quality
health care and the regulation of all health services and products.
Primary Health Care, or PHC refers to "essential health care" that is
based on scientifically sound and socially acceptable methods and
technology. This makes universal health care accessible to all individuals
and families in a community.
Universal health Care(UHC) is a health care system in which all
residents of a particular country or region are assured access to health
care.
Universal Health Coverage is defined as ensuring that all people have
access to needed health services (including prevention, promotion,
treatment, rehabilitation and palliation) of sufficient quality to be effective
 while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the
user the financial hardship.

The Philippine Health Care Delivery

Health Care System is an organized plan of health services. The rendering of

health care services to the people is called health care delivery system. Thus, health
care delivery system is the network of health facilities and personnel which carries out
the task of rendering health care to the people. In the Philippines health care system is
complex set of organizations interacting to provide an array of health services
(WHO,2020).

In the Philippines the components of the health care delivery system as mandate
of the Department of Health (DOH) is to be responsible for the following:
formulation and development of national health policies, guidelines, standards and
manual of operations for health services and programs; issuance of rules and
regulations, licenses and accreditations; promulgation of national health standards,
goals, priorities and indicators; development of special health programs and projects
and advocacy for legislation on health policies and programs. The primary function of
the Department of Health is the promotion, protection, preservation or restoration of
the health of the people through the provision and delivery of health services and
through the regulation and encouragement of providers of health goods and services
(E.O. No. 119, Sec. 3).

and at a cost that the community and country and can afford at every stage of
development.
The WHO defines Primary Health Care an essential health care made
universally acceptable to individuals and families in the community by means
acceptable to them through their full participation and at a cost that the
community and country and afford at every stage of development.

 Universal Health Care

Universal Health Care (UHC), also referred to as Kalusugan

Pangkalahatan (KP), is the “provision to every Filipino of the highest possible
quality of health care that is accessible, efficient, equitably distributed,
adequately funded, fairly financed, and appropriately used by an informed and
empowered public”. The administration puts it as the availability and accessibility
of health services and necessities for all Filipinos.

It is a government mandate aiming to ensure that every Filipino shall receive

affordable and quality health benefits. This involves providing adequate
resources – health human resources, health facilities, and health financing .

LESSON 2: The Family

The Family: Basic Concepts

Family – a social institution that unites people in cooperative groups to
oversee the bearing and raising of children; group of people
coming together to bear and raise children (Baylor,2016).
 “Family” is starting to develop new meaning
 Friends are considered family
 Cohabitants
  Society views family as a unit including children
Kinship – a social bond based on blood, marriage, or adoption

The Family: Global Variations

Family Unit – social group of two or more people, related by blood,
marriage, or adoption, who usually live together
The Extended Family – includes parent and children as well as other
kin
The Nuclear Family – one or two parents and their children

Marriage Patterns
Endogamy – marriage between people of the same social category
(gender, age, class, race, religion)
Exogamy– marriage between people of different social categories
Monogamy – marriage that unites two partners
Polygamy:
marriage that unites three or more
Polygyny – man & 2+ women
Polyandry – woman and 2+ men

Theoretical Analysis of the Family

1) Structural-Functional:
The family performs vital tasks:
 Socialization
 Regulation of sexual activity
 Social placement (the social class you’re born into)
 Material & emotional security
 Society depends on families
2) Social-Conflict:
The family perpetuates social inequality:
 Property & inheritance; Patriarchy
 Racial, ethnic & gender inequality
 Family plays a role in social stratification.

3) Micro-Level Analysis:
Symbolic-Interaction Approach:
 Examines roles of family members
 Explores how individuals shape and experience family life
Social-Exchange Approach:
 Family life can be analyzed using social-exchange theory
 People seek what they can reap from a relationship after
contributing to it

Learning Outcomes
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• Outline the principles of CHN bag technique

• Recall the types of records and reports in Family Health Nursing

Pretest
Direction: Outline the importance of planning a family nursing care on the space provided below.

1. They individualize care to clients.

2. The nursing care plan helps in setting priorities by providing information about the
client as well as the nature of his problems.
3. The nursing care plan promotes systematic communication among those involved
in the health care effort.
4. Continuity of care is facilitated through the use of nursing care plans. Gaps and
duplications in the services provided are minimized, if not totally eliminated.
5. Nursing care plans facilitate the coordination of care by making known to other
members of the health team what the nurse is doing.

LESSON 1: Family Nursing Process

The nursing health assessment is an incredibly valuable tool nurses have in their arsenal of
skills. A thorough and skilled assessment allows you, the nurse, to obtain descriptions about your
patient’s symptoms, how the symptoms developed, and a process to discover any associated physical
findings that will aid in the development of differential diagnoses. Assessment uses both subjective and
objective data. Subjective assessment factors are those that are reported by the patient. Objective
assessment data includes that which is observable and measurable (Berman, 2010).

The Family Care Plan is the blueprint of the care that the nurse designs to systematically
minimize or eliminate the identified health and family nursing problems through explicitly formulated
outcomes of care (goals and objectives) and deliberately chosen of interventions, resources and
evaluation criteria, standards, methods and tools.
Desirable qualities of a Family NursingCare Plan (FNCP) It should be based on clear, explicit
definition of the problems.

1. A good nursing plan is based on a comprehensive analysis of the problem

situation.
2. A good plan is realistic.
3. The nursing care plan is prepared jointly with the family. The nurse involves the
family in determining health needs and problems, in establishing priorities, in
selecting appropriate courses of action, implementing them and evaluating
outcomes.
4. The nursing care plan is most useful in written form.

The Importance of Planning Care

1. They individualize care to clients.
2. The nursing care plan helps in setting priorities by providing information about the
client as well as the nature of his problems.
3. The nursing care plan promotes systematic communication among those involved in
the health care effort.
4. Continuity of care is facilitated through the use of nursing care plans. Gaps and
duplications in the services provided are minimized, if not totally eliminated.
5. Nursing care plans facilitate the coordination of care by making known to other
members of the health team what the nurse is doing.

Formulating a family care plan involves the following steps:

(RNpedia ,2015)

1. The prioritized condition/s or problems

2. The goals and objectives of nursing care
3. The plan of interventions
4. The plan of evaluating care
(This is a schematic presentation of the nursing care plan process. It starts with a list of health condition
or problems prioritized according to the nature, modifiability, preventive potential and salience. The
prioritized health condition or problems and their corresponding nursing problems become the basis
for the next step which is the formulation of goals and objectives of nursing care. The goals and
objectives specify the expected health/clinical outcomes, family response/s, behavior of competency
outcomes).

For the supplementation of this topic, please read the attached PDF on Edmodo/ Google classroom.

LESSON 1: Tools of Public Health Nurse

The bag technique is a tool by which the nurse, during her visit will enable her to perform a
nursing procedure with ease and deftness, to save time and effort with the end view of rendering
effective nursing care to clients (Wordpress, 2015).
A nursing bag — also known as a healthcare bag, public health bag, medicalbag, visiting bag,
or supply bag — is a critical part of at-home patient care and has been a staple part of home visits for
decades. The public health bag is an essential and indispensable equipment of a public health nurse
which she has to carry along during her home visits. It contains basic medication and articles which are
necessary for giving care.

Principles:

o Performing the bag technique will minimize, if not, prevent the spread of any infection.
o It saves time and effort in the performance of nursing procedures.
o The bag technique can be performed in a variety of ways depending on the agency’s policy,
the home situation, or as long as principles of avoiding transfer of infection is always
observed.

Contents
The following are the contents of a Public Health Nurse
bag:

✓Paper lining

✓ Extra paper for making waste bag

✓ Plastic/linen lining
✓ Apron
✓ Hand towel
✓ Soap in a soap dish
✓ Thermometers (oral and rectal)
✓ 2 pairs of scissors (surgical and bandage)
✓ 2 pairs of forceps (curved and straight)

 Betadine; 70% alcohol; Zephiran solution; Hydrogen peroxide;

Spirit of ammonia; Ophthalmic ointment; Acetic acid; Benedict’s

solution

*BP apparatus and stethoscope are carried separately and arenever placed in
the bag.

Points to consider

➢ The bag should contain all the necessary articles, supplies and equipment that will be used to
answer the emergency needs
➢ The bag and its contents should be cleaned very often, the supplies replaced and ready for use
anytime.
➢ The bag and its contents should be well protected from contact with any article in the patient’s
home.
➢ Consider the bag and its contents clean and sterile, while articles that belong to the patients as
dirty and contaminated.
➢ The arrangement of the contents of the bag should be the one most convenient to the user, to
facilitate efficiency and avoid confusion.
After Care
➢ Before keeping all articles in the bag, clean and alcoholize them.
➢ Get the bag from the table, fold the paper lining (and insert), and place in between the flaps
and cover the bag.
Evaluation and Documentation
✓ Record all relevant findings about the client and members of the family.
✓ Take note of environmental factors which affect the clients/family health.
✓ Include quality of nurse-patient relationship.
✓ Assess effectiveness of nursing care provided.

LESSON 3: Types of Nurse-Family contact(Rai, 2012)

 LESSON 4: Records in Family Health Nursing

Records are necessary for the continuation of delivery of family health care services and its
evaluation while evaluation of family health services is necessary to identify the new and continuing
family health needs (Brar, 2015).

Family Records include information based on factual events, observation results or measurements
taken (e.g. height, weight, body circumference or laboratory examinations).

Health Records refer to forms on which information about an individual and family is noted.
Information varies from socio-economic, psychological, and environmental factors.

Reports are based on records and registers. It can be compiled daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and
annually. Report summarizes the services of the nurse and/ or the agency.
