 A. Family Solidarity
• Intergenerational solidarity is the degree of closeness and support between
different generations.
• Generations in the family, the idea of solidarity helps us to understand how
people of different
• generations relate to, help and depend on one another in their daily lives.
• In the family context, the concepts of intergenerational solidarity is most
frequently used to shed light on the nature of the relationship between adult
children and their parents.
 Dimensions of Solidarity in Intergenerational
Family Relations
1. Structural solidarity
2. Associational solidarity
3. Affectual solidarity
4. Consensual solidarity
5. Functional solidarity
6. Normative solidarity
• 1. Structural solidarity - This means how factors like geographical distance can
constrain or enhance interaction between family members.
• It is easier to give and receive help, care and support if family members live near one
another, but new technologies, such as Skype, can aid communication between family
members who live far from one another.
• 2. Associational solidarity - This dimension refers to the frequency of social contact
and shared activities between family members. Some adults visit their parents very
frequently, others less often.
• 3. Affectual solidarity - Solidarity can manifest itself in feelings of emotional
closeness, affirmation, and intimacy between family members, also known as affectual
solidarity. Some ageing parents and their adult children declare that they are very close
to each other; others feel more distant.
• 4. Consensual solidarity - Family members have different levels of actual or perceived agreement in
opinions, values, and lifestyles. For instance, the family members might all vote for the same party or believe
in a similar ideology.
• In other cases, parents and their children might have very different opinions on issues, for instance, same-
sex marriage.
• 5. Functional solidarity - Exchanges of practical and financial assistance and support between family
members are examples of functional solidarity. Examples of functional solidarity are gifts of money but also
very practical things such as buying groceries, preparing meals, allowing family members to move in with you,
or looking after their care needs.
• Older family members can be both beneficiaries and sources of functional solidarity. For instance, some
look after their grandchildren; others receive visits from their children to help with household tasks.
• 6. Normative solidarity - refers to the strength of obligation felt towards other family members. In some
families, there is a strong belief in the need for and importance of family cohesion and assistance between
family members;
• in others, family members consider that it is quite acceptable for them to feel and to be very independent of
each other
Filipino Family Values

Filipino Family Values

-The Filipino family consists of many traditional values that have been
treasured and passed on for many generations already
These are some of the Filipino Family
Values:
1. Communication: (Verbal, non-verbal)

Verbal
Indirect Communication: Filipinos often communicate indirectly in order
to prevent a loss of face and evoking hiya on either side of an exchange.
Communication Style: Filipinos will try to express their opinions and ideas
diplomatically and with humility to avoid appearing arrogant. The tone of
voice varies widely by language, dialect and region.
Refusals: Since many Filipinos try to save face and avoid hiya in their
interactions, many will be overly polite and seldom give a flat ‘no’ or
negative response.
Respect: they will say ‘po’ and ‘opo’ to demonstrate this respect for
hierarchy.
Non-Verbal

Physical Contact: Among relatives or friends of the same gender, it is

common for Filipinos to walk hand in hand or arm in arm.

Personal Space: When interacting with people they are familiar with,
Filipinos prefer standing at an arm's length from one another.
Laughter: While Filipinos often laugh in conversations,
the meaning of laughter tends to depend on the
situation. At times, laughing may indicate happiness or
pleasure, while other times it may be used to relieve
tension.
Pointing: Filipinos may point to objects by
puckering their lips and moving their
mouths in the direction they are pointing
to.
Gestures: Filipinos often use gestures that shows their emotions.
Beckoning: The common way to beckon someone is by gesturing with
the hand facing downwards and waving fingers towards oneself, the
same gesture that would represent ‘shooing’ in Australia. If a Filipino
wants someone’s attention, it is common for them to make a sound
like ‘pssst’.
2. Helping Others (Pakikisama) and
Gratitude(Utang na Loob)

Pakikisama
- getting along with people in general
- The word pakikisama literally translates to "helping others."
Therefore, this trait usually fosters general cooperation and
performing good or helpful deeds, which can lead to others viewing
you in a favorable light.
Utang na Loob
- With utang na loob, there is usually a system of obligation. When this
value is applied, it imparts a sense of duty and responsibility on the
younger siblings to serve and repay the favors done to them by their
elders
 3. Respect (Paggalang)

▪ Filipinos are accustomed to using the words “po,” “opo,”

and “ho” when they are conversing with older people or,
sometimes, with those who are in a high role or a
prestigious member of society
▪ Respect can also be shown toward the elders by kissing their
hands before leaving/to say goodbye and upon arrival/to
greet them.
▪ The younger members of the family can show respect
towards older siblings by calling kuya to older brothers and
ate to older sisters
4. Independence

▪ Recently, there is an estimated number of 2.2 million Overseas

Filipino Workers abroad. The independency of individuals show when
they work in places far from the people they depend on – their
families. Filipinos became independent when they work in faraway
communities or countries.
5. Service

▪ Filipino workers worldwide are

recognized for their dedication,
perseverance and determination in
executing their jobs. These qualities
show the exemplary service of Filipino
people towards others.
▪ Overseas Filipino Workers, especially
Filipino doctors, nurses, care givers,
and nannies, are known for their
sincere care and genuine concern to
their patients or the people they work
for
6. Trust

▪ Generally, Filipinos are family-oriented people. With this, the value

of trust within their families still exists. Husbands and wives trust
each other in managing household expenses. Family members trust
each other in sharing their problems. Trust is important in a family
for it strengthens the foundation of any relationship.

Health Practices
(Living in the Philippines, 2019)
 Health Practices (Living in the Philippines, 2019)

• People originally from rural areas are more

knowledgeable regarding home remedies, traditional
healing techniques, and supernatural ailments.

• People from urban areas rely more on Western

medical intervention and over-the-counter drugs.
 Health Practices (Living in the Philippines, 2019)

• Self-medication are
certain Chinese oils or
ointments, which serve as
cure in relaxing, heating,
and comforting the
muscles or providing
relief for dizziness, colds,
headaches, sore throats,
and so forth.
 VENTOSA

• Ventosa is used
for treating joint
pains believed to
be caused by the
presence of bad
air.
 Health Practices (Living in the Philippines, 2019)

• Beyond such home

remedies, more serious
illnesses typically warrant
seeking the help of a local
healer who may utilize a
variety of treatments
including the use of herbs
and roots.
 Health Practices (Living in the Philippines, 2019)

• The various types of healers: midwives, masseurs,

and specialists for supernaturally caused ailments.

• Although these types of healers each have native

labels, there is no traditional word for faith healers,
the newest and increasingly popular genre of
Philippine folk healers.
 Health Practices (Living in the Philippines, 2019)

• There are as many as 15,000

faith healers found in the
Philippines, and most are
devout Christians.
• Faith healers do not attempt to
identify or diagnose a disease,
which is in contrast to the
traditional concern for
identifying the cause of illness.
 Health Practices (Living in the Philippines, 2019)

• In a regular session, the

faith healer's techniques
include blessing the body
with holy water, laying on
of the hands, and
anointing with oil.
 Health Practices (Living in the Philippines, 2019)

• These healing
techniques are
enhanced by ritualized
prayer, chanting, and
the creation of an
atmosphere that
reinforces the
individual's faith.
 Health Practices (Living in the Philippines, 2019)

• Psychic surgery involves

the painless insertion of
the healer's fingers into the
individual's body, removal
of tissues, tumors,
growths, or foreign matter,
and closing the incision
without a scar
 Health Practices (Living in the Philippines, 2019)

• Faith healing and more traditional folk healing practices

typically are utilized simultaneously with modern
medicine.

• In several cases, spiritual healing is used only after these

doctors have diagnosed a disease as incurable.
 Health Practices (Living in the Philippines, 2019)

• Folk healers may serve as indigenous allies whose work

can complement modern health practitioners and who
can provide the psychological, emotional, and spiritual
well being necessary to the healing process.
New Technologies Related to Public
Health Electronic Information
 Government Sites
(Philippine National Health Research System, 2017)

The Department of Science and Technology- Philippine

Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD), the
national coordinating body for health research, has unveiled five
technologies that are making a difference in local healthcare
delivery.
The government agency has been supporting local programs
on health and health research that provide and strengthen the local
healthcare ecosystem.
1. Axis Knee System

Developed by Orthopaedic International Inc., the Axis

Knee System is the first and only knee system designed in
the ASEAN region which allows access to knee
replacement as it is 40-50 percent cheaper than other
brands. Its innovative instrumentation and surgical
technique also allow more surgeons to perform knee
surgery without the need to undergo one-year fellowship
program.
2. RxBox

The RxBox is a device which captures medical signals through built-

in sensors, stores data in an electronic medical record (EMR), and
transmits health information via the internet. Jointly developed by
the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman and Manila, the device
reduces unnecessary travels and hospitalizations as it enables
diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of patients from
geographically isolated and depressed areas of the country. It is also
an ICT (Information and Communications Technology) innovation
designed to support the Department of Health’s call for Universal
Health Care.
3. eHATID

Developed by Ateneo De Manila University, the eHealth TABLET

for Informed Decision Making of LGUs (eHATID LGU) is an Android
application that provides real-time health information and a facility for
direct communication between local chief executives and rural health
units (RHUs).
This device works even without internet connection and provides
decision-making support to local government units (LGUs) in creating
sound and evidence-based health policies and programs. All the eHATID
LGU data are synced to a central database via the government cloud
facilities of the Advanced Science and Technology Institute of the
Department of Science and Technology (DOST-ASTI). Security protocols
are also strictly implemented to comply with the policies and program
requirements for data security, privacy and confidentiality purposes.
4. Biotek-M

Biotek-M, a confirmatory test for dengue diagnosis, is as

accurate as the currently available Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
technology yet less costly as it is locally developed. Developed by
the UP Manila National Institutes of Health Institute of Molecular
Biology and Biotechnology, the kit saves resources for both hospital
and patients as it allows less admission for dengue suspected cases.
The project is funded by the University of the Philippines
System thru the Philippine Genome Center (PGC) and the
Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-TECHNICOM.
5. OLTrap

The OL Trap is a simple but effective vector control method to

lower the population of dengue Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, thus
reducing dengue cases and controlling dengue transmission.
Developed by DOST-Industrial Technology Development
Institute (ITDI), OL Trap works by trapping the eggs and larvae of A.
aegypti in their laying site with an active organic solution and killing
them in the process before hatching and going to adult stage.
The DOST and the Department of Health (DOH) have
collaborated for the nationwide rollout of the technology.

5. WEARABLES

6. THE CLOUD

7. 3-D BIOPRINTING

8. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND

ROBOTICS
 mHealth, the use of mobile technology for patient
1. mHealth care, is offering a much more convenient
patient experience and streamlining care. An
increasing array of mobile apps are enabling
patients to better manage their health,
communicate with healthcare providers, schedule
appointments, and access health information.

The technology is also helping providers improve

patient compliance with tools that provide remote
monitoring of certain health conditions and medical
devices, Wellframe, Retrofit, MedWand, WellDoc,
Pager, Oscar Health and Hometeam are just a handful
of mobile technology companies that are working on
applications to transform how doctors and patients
interact in the modern era.
 2. Telemedicine
Telemedicine, much like mHealth, deals with virtual
communication between patient and physician. With
telemedicine, doctors are able to see and treat patients
through video conferencing, eliminating the need for
patients to drive to a physician’s office or clinic.
Telemedicine is a boon for the thousands of people every
year who don’t have access to medical care because they
live in a remote location, lack transportation options, or are
not ambulatory.

In recent years, some medical centers have even

expanded their telemedicine capabilities to the
surgical suite – remotely performing intricate
robotic surgeries on patients many miles away – or
even around the world.
3. Interoperable Healthcare Information
Technology (HIT) Systems
Interoperability, “the extent to which systems and devices
can exchange data, and interpret that shared data,”
according to the Healthcare Information and Management
Systems Society (HIMSS), is still a pipe dream for the health
care industry. Yet, it is a goal that those in the industry are
working steadily toward achieving. In order to gain the most
benefit from the new influx of patient data and realize the full
potential of the healthcare informatics movement, systems
and networks must be interoperable.

The healthy and open flow of information among

health care practitioners, patients and networks will
ultimately lead to better health care and more informed
patients who are in charge of their own health.
4. Electronic Health Records
Enacted in 2009, the Health Information Technology for Economic
and Clinical Health Act
(HITECH) required that all health care providers adopt electronic
medical records (also called
electronic health records or EHRs) by 2015. This legislation paved
the way for the growth in health care informatics and the age of big
data within health care, as well as the possibility for interoperability
of patient records between providers.

As digital records of a patient’s health history, EHRs should offer an

improved continuity of care for patients and better outcomes by
ensuring that doctors are diagnosing and treating patients based on
a holistic picture of their past and current health. EHRs are also
expected to improve coordination of care between providers, reduce
healthcare disparities, and streamline processes such as e-
prescribing.
 Wearables offer yet another avenue beyond electronic

5. Wearables patient records to collect data, increase prevention and

improve health outcomes for users. The smart watch
and Fitbit are two of the most well known wearables
but there are many more on the market and currently
in development that monitor everything from sleep and
rest patterns to heart rate and calories.

As the wearables industry continues to expand,

developers are looking at ways to take the
technology even further, beyond just monitoring
fitness and activity levels. “For instance, Intel
teamed up with the Michael J. Fox Foundation to
use wearables to find certain characteristics of
Parkinson’s disease,” according to TechRepublic.
6. The Cloud
The health care industry was slow to adopt the cloud, but
that is quickly changing. With the plethora of data flooding
into health centers through EHRs, the cloud is becoming a
more relevant and trusted mechanism to store and share big
data. IBM Watson is one example of a cloud-based
technology that is “bringing together clinical, research and
social data from a diverse range of health sources” to
advance care and speed up communication. While security
and privacy of patient data has always been a concern for
health centers, the cloud has introduced new challenges and
concerns surrounding the possibility of cyber attacks or
digital information breaches.

Yet, many experts agree that the cloud is a more secure

option than on-premise storage solutions. Technology is
being leveraged to dispel many of these concerns, with new
tools being developed daily to protect patient information.
What’s more, the government will likely be enacting stricter
regulations and policies around digital health data to add an
extra layer of oversight and protection for patients.
7. 3-D This high-tech medical advancement is still in its
infancy but has the potential to create drugs,
Bioprinting prostheses, and even human tissue and organs.
Recently, scientists printed human ears and
successfully attached them to the skin of mice, a
huge step forward in the evolution of 3D printing.

Potentially even more exciting is the development

in Australia, where doctors completed a successful
implant of a 3-D printed vertebrae into a human
patient who had been suffering from chordoma
cancer. And the Kidney Project is currently
developing a bioartificial kidney “as a permanent
solution to end-stage renal disease.” This
advancement could ensure that every eligible
patient would have the option of receiving a
transplant, not just those who make it to the top of
the list.
8. Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
Advancements in both artificial intelligence and robotics have lead
to real uses for robots in hospital settings – both as surgical
assistants and delivery and transportation aids. In Sioux Falls, S.D.
a robot named Xena is one of two robots the Aver McKennan
hospital is employing to disinfect operating rooms and destroy super
bugs. And in Australia, Medtech announced the first surgery
successfully completed using ROSA, a robotic surgery system.

As physicians and researchers continue to expand their reliance on

technology to enhance medical prevention, diagnostic and
treatment approaches, the career options for those in health
informatics and information technology are exploding. Specialized
degree programs such as the online Master of Science in Health
Care Informatics offered by the University of San Diego is preparing
IT and healthcare professionals to fill this growing need with a
unique combination of coursework that integrates health care
technology, leadership, and business knowledge/skills.
