EVALUATION:
As a Nursing student, based on what I've seen in their Community service, it felt like it is
fun-filled, life challenging and extraordinary to experience it. Because we all know that one of
our main role as a nursing student or Public Health Nurse is to conduct health education.
COPAR will be a great help especially to someone like me who has no idea about doing this.
COPAR helps them to generate community participation in development activities and people
empowerment. It prepares the people/clients to eventually take over the management of a
development programs in the future.And also, it maximizes community involvement and
involvement in the mobilization of community resources for community services. Despite the
fact that health centers are far from the community, at least on their own, they did their
part to be healthy enough. With these insights, they will be able to prevent or even lower
the morbidity and mortality rate of a specific community. Additionally, the government
thought to prioritize these kinds of places where requirements are difficult to met.
