INITIAL DATABASE FOR FAMILY NURSING PRACTICE

A. FAMILY STRUCTURE, CHARACTERISTICS, AND DYNAMICS/RELATIONAL

PATTERNS

Family X is a nuclear family composed of Mr. Antonio., who serves as their father. He is

currently 51 years old, working as a police officer everyday and his vacation days depend on their

headquarter’s availability. Out of the 5 family members, he is the only male member and is the head

of their family. Together with his wife, they both make amends to meet and suffice the family needs.

Mrs. Agnes, born July 2, 1971, is the 50 year old mother of Arienne, Anne Stephanie, and Anne

Jillene. She is happily married to husband Mr. Antonio Cruz Jr. for the past 29 years and she is

currently working as a real estate agent in Taguig city. While at home, she mostly takes care of the

children and is responsible for their daily meals, and household chores since Mr. Antonio usually

comes home late in the evening due to his occupation as a Police officer.

Arienne, the family’s eldest daughter, born in January 5, 1995 is a graduate of BS Food Technology

in Technological University of the Philippines and is currently working as a software engineer. She

lives together with her family and visits her boyfriend who resides in Pasay from time to time.

The middle child, Anne Stephanie born on July 3, 2000 is a 21 year old female student currently in

her 2nd year studying BS Nursing at Centro Escolar University in Manila.


Their youngest daughter, Anne Jillene, born on June 23, 2001 is currently 20 years old. She is in her

3rd year studying as Doctor of Dental Medicine at University of the East - Manila.

Their family structure is considered patriarchal as the father acts as the primary authority figure.

Though when it comes to decision making especially on matters of health care, the mom determines

and resolves their matters. Both the parents and the children make efforts to communicate with each

other. The parents join and comprehend what their children like and make this a way for them to

bond, have time for one another, and enjoy their time together.

After interviewing the Cruz family, our group C0 has concluded that their family has a balanced

relationship. Family Cruz maintains a good communication between one another; they tend to

acknowledge each other's feelings and problems whether it's about work, school, or personal

differences that occur within the family. Overall, Family Cruz has a strong foundation and practices

great parenting skills.

B. SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS

The Cruz family does not belong to any tribe. Mrs. Agnes is a Roman Catholic. She finished

2nd year college, her highest educational attainment. She’s a Real Estate Manager who’s working at

Mckinley, Taguig and has an estimated salary of 40, 000 pesos monthly. Her monthly salary is not

fixed since she’s working as a Real Estate Manager and it’s a commission basis. Mr. Antonio is a

Roman Catholic who is a college graduate and now a Police Officer at Malate, Manila and has an

estimated salary of 60, 000 pesos monthly. Arienne, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cruz, is a

Roman Catholic and a college graduate who’s now working as a Software Engineer at Cubao,
Quezon City and has a monthly salary of 30, 000 pesos. Anne Jelline is the youngest daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Cruz. She’s a Roman Catholic and a 3 rd year college student who’s studying as a Doctor of

Dental Medicine at UE Manila. Their family has no traditions or practices related to their health and

lifestyle.

According to Mrs. Agnes, their estimated monthly budget is 70, 00 pesos and their family’s

monthly salary is enough to sustain their needs and basic necessities such as food, clothing, shelter,

water and electricity, school stuff, and etc. She’s the one who’s assigned in handling their budget and

where she would allocate those. She stated that she has savings for some purposes but she didn’t

think that it is allocated for emergency matters like accidents etc. Since she’s working as a Real

Estate Manager, sometimes their budget depends on her commission rate and just like other families,

they have also experienced cash shortages but she immediately finds a way to solve it when she gets

a higher salary.

Aside from the members of their family, the Cruz family has a helper or stay out who is

known to be her mother’s cousin. She helps the Cruz family to clean the house and go to the market

to buy some food and other stuff. She’s also the one who took care of Mrs. Agnes Cruz after being

through an operation.

In their community, the Cruz family are known even though they’re not usually going

outside. They didn’t have the opportunity to join programs in their community like medical missions,

general cleaning, and livelihood programs because they have no time for it. Sometimes, they’re not

informed with the programs that are being implemented within their community because there are

only selected participants. But, in the future, the Cruz family plans to volunteer for community

programs if they have no work and if they will be given much time for it.
ECOMAP OF X FAMILY

The ecomap represents the relationship of the X family with their community. Each line connected

to the variables describes the level of relationship to the family members. The legend at the bottom of

the ecomap indicates the meaning of each line to serve as a guide. The analysis is based on the

statements of Mrs. Agnes, the mother of the family. Based on the map, Mr. and Mrs. X and one of

their children have a strong relationship with their work. According to Mrs. Agnes, she works as a

Real Estate Manager in McKinley Taguig. However, she now has to work at home because of the

pandemic. Mr. Antonio., a Police Officer in Malate, Manila, usually arrives at home at 11 p.m. Their

first-born daughter is a Software Engineer who works in a BPO company in Cubao, Quezon City.

The other two members of the family are still studying and are currently in college. The 2nd and 3rd

children made good relationships with people in their respective schools. Among the family

members, only Mr. Antonio and Mrs. Agnes are the ones who frequently go outside, which makes

their relationship with their neighbors moderately close. Mrs. Agnes stated that her three daughters
seldom go out of their house but their neighbors know their names. Aside from Mr. and Mrs. Agnes,

their helper runs errands for them and shops in the grocery and the market. The family does not go to

the hospital directly when experiencing health problems. Mrs. Agnes verbalized that they either

consult online or with their neighbor, who is a doctor. She also said that she prefers visiting a private

clinic.

C. HOME AND ENVIRONMENT

The X family owns a lot at Tondo, Manila in which the space is enough for the five of them.

They have their own rooms except for the second child and the youngest where they share the same

room.

There’s no possible space for the insects except on the side of their house because they

maintain the cleanliness of their house by cleaning it every other day. They also hired someone to

help them do household chores. Mrs. Agnes manages to check the electric wirings and fixes it to

prevent any kinds of accidents from happening.

In terms of stocking food, they do groceries twice a month and clean it before putting it to its

designated places inside the refrigerator. They use a gas stove, frying pan, stainless pot, and

stoneware for cooking food. They also have their own water supply from the faucet and they use a

purifier that filters out the water to become alkaline as their drinking water.
They have their own toilets, one upstairs and the other one is downstairs where they manually

flush their toilets by pouring water. They also clean it every other day by using Mr. Muscle, starting

from the cleanest to dirtiest area-- lavatory, walls, and then the bowl. They have a septic tank as the

drainage system of their house, and sewage outside the house where the wastewater goes.

The family has a lot of trash cans in every part of their house but they are guilty for not

separating the biodegradable from non-biodegradable but for everyone’s safety, they wrap broken

pieces that can cause harm before throwing it to the trash can. The garbage collector collects their

trash everyday.

When it comes to their neighborhood, they have loud neighbors and there are some cases of

wrangle in their street because of the children from the other places who pass by but the moderator in

their community manages to ban them. They have easy access to all of the facilities in their

community as well as communication facilities and transportation because it is just nearby their

house. They also have their own vehicle like four wheels and two motorcycles which they can only

use when Mr. X is around. They prefer to commute rather than riding their own vehicle when they’re

going to run some errands because the traffic jam in their place is not heavy.

D. HEALTH STATUS OF EACH FAMILY MEMBER

I. Nursing Health History (each member of family)


Mr. Antonio, 51 years old, has a current medical illness which is Hypertension as stated by

his wife. The said lifestyle disease took place back when he was still 29 years old, which is in the

year 1999. The reason for his Hypertension is due to drinking of alcohol, stress, and inadequate

physical activity or exercise. Regarding the current illness Mr. Antonio has, even though his

condition is not that high, he is now taking his medicine named Amlife 50mg for it not to get worse.

Furthermore, in his condition, there was no past history of significant illness mentioned.

Mrs. Agnes, 50 years old, also has a current medical illness which is Hypertension. She

mentioned that the said lifestyle disease took place in the year 2018, back when she was 48 years old.

The said reason for her Hypertension is due to stress, lack of exercise or physical activity, and that it

might also be because of her age. Beyond that, she also mentioned her past history of significant

illness where she had undergone an operation which is TAH BSO or Total Abdominal Hysterectomy

with Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy, a surgery that will remove the organs such as uterus, cervix,

ovaries, and fallopian tubes. The operation had to be done due to the enlargement of her Myoma also

called Fibroids, which happened January 18,2021. After the surgery, the healing stage lasted for

about 2 to 3 months where she experienced difficulty in walking, and her movements were limited

since there were a lot of organs removed inside her body, resulting in having more scars. The

medications that she is currently taking are Amlife 50mg , Calcitect, Remifemine, Vitamin c,

Sangobion.

Ms. Arienne, 26 years old, does not have any current illnesses. However, she has mentioned that

she had an irregular menstruation cycle before, but it is now being taken care of since she already

consulted a doctor, which means she presently has a regular menstrual cycle.
Ms. Anne Stephanie, 21 years old, has Allergic Rhinitis according to her mother. Mrs. Agnes

also stated that Ms. Anne Stephanie sometimes gets attacked by her allergy during the morning. And

the reason for what triggers her allergy is mostly because of the smoke and dust in the surroundings.

Moreover, she personally mentioned that, currently she has an irregular menstrual cycle and she did

not consult a doctor regarding this.

E. VALUES, HABITS, PRACTICES ON HEALTH PROMOTION, MAINTENANCE, AND

DISEASE PREVENTION

The X family has completed their vaccine immunization: BCG, DPT, Polio, AMV (Anti-

Measles vaccine), MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), Flu vaccine, Pneumococcal and including

Covid-19 vaccine in each member of the family.

The X family eats nutritious foods, just like different kinds of vegetables, fish, juices, milk,

and fruits. But, according to Mrs. Agnes, they don't eat breakfast at the same time. It only depends on

what time each of the family members will wake up. If there are classes or work, they eat at a proper

time for each meal, but if there are no classes or work, there is no exact meal time. The Cruz family

also takes up vitamins or food supplements to have sufficient immunization, namely: Vitamin C and

Iron for the children; Mrs. Agnes takes up Calcium, Iron, and Vitamin C, whereas Mr. Cruz also

takes up Vitamin C, Iron, and Glucosamine as his food supplement.

No one in the family drinks alcoholic beverages frequently. Mr. Antonio drinks alcoholic

beverages only once a month and can only finish a minimal bottle or glass of alcoholic beverages

because Mr. Antonio drinks only by himself. Whereas Mrs. Agnes' children only drink alcoholic

liquors in a family gathering and prefer to drink lady's drink just like Smirnoff.
In terms of sleep, the Xfamily doesn't have enough sleep. Since Mr. Cruz goes home late at

night because of his work, he only has 6 hours of sleep and then wakes up early in the morning to go

to his work. Mrs. X only has 6-7 hours of sleep and can sometimes have 8 hours of sleep due to her

age. Whereas for the children, it only depends if there are classes or not. Also, in the family, only Mr.

Antonio exercises regularly, whereas Mrs. Agnes only occasionally exercises because she

experiences pain while doing Zumba, which is why she stopped exercising.

According to Mrs. Agnes, they use slippers as their foot protection but don't use a mosquito

net and insect repellant. Only their middle child uses it because mosquitos frequently bite her.

The coping mechanism of the stress of the X family is stress eating, binge-watching Netflix

series, and sleeping all day. Mr. Antonio eats chocolate and nuts if he is experiencing stress. Whereas

the children tend to listen to Korean Pop music, watch Korean dramas, and sleep all day.

Mrs. Agnes did not share any activities in boosting her self-confidence because it is

confidential for her part. But, according to her, there will be a chance she is shy in showing herself,

but she is sure that her children are confident enough to show themselves.

As stated by Mrs. Agnes, they go to the health center near their home for a medical consultation. She

also remembers going there to obtain her children's weight when they were young. She doesn't

participate in their barangay's health teaching program. She also chooses not to join lifestyle-related

services such as Zumba because of her reluctance. Mrs. Agnes also said that she and her family don't

participate in the feeding programs.
