INTRODUCTION
A community is a group of people in a small or large social fabric living together that has
Communities often share a sense of belongingness over a particular place, which is situated in a
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines community health as the environmental,
social, and economic resources to sustain emotional and physical well-being among people in ways
that advance their aspirations and satisfy their needs in their unique environment. It is a branch of
public health that focuses on people and their role as determinants of their own and other people’s
health. This is in contrast to environmental health, which focuses on the physical environment and
It is a major field of study within the medical and clinical sciences that focuses on the
maintenance, protection, and improvement of the health status of population groups and
communities.
Working at the community level promotes healthy living, helps prevent chronic diseases,
and brings the greatest health benefits to the greatest number of people in need. It also helps to
reduce health gaps caused by differences in race and ethnicity, location, social status, income, and
other factors that can affect health according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) in 2019.
Community health nursing involves a holistic approach to patient care. Interventions are
aimed at individuals, families, and groups within a geographic area. Nursing care focuses on
managing and preventing diseases as well as educating a community about maintaining well-being.

and data gathering procedure. This chapter explains the structure, and procedures that are done in
this study.
Study Design
The researchers utilized mixed methods as their study design to gather, identify, and
interpret the community’s problem. According to Wisdom (2013), the term “mixed methods”
“mixing,” of quantitative and qualitative data within a single investigation or sustained program
of inquiry. In this study, the researchers make use of surveys and interviews for our quantitative
and qualitative methods, respectively. The quantitative approach was used to tally the data from
the respondents through frequency and percentage, while the qualitative approach was used for the
The study took place in the community of PHINMA University of Pangasinan located at
Arellano St., Dagupan City. The researchers chose this community because they are currently not
allowed to physically interact with one particular community outside the campus because of the
COVID 19 pandemic.

Data Gathering Procedures
Prior to conducting the actual data gathering procedure, the researchers will go through a
standardized protocol of obtaining authorization from qualified individuals. The researchers will
first confer with their research adviser if their research study is viable and relevant. The researchers
will then submit an official letter to the Dean of the College of Health Sciences seeking approval
to undertake the research study. If the dean authorizes, the researchers will also send a letter to the
The respondents will therefore accomplish the questionnaire form in their own residences,
at their convenience.
The information obtained from the respondents will be tallied and their respective
frequency and percentage is calculated. The researchers will then examine the data and conclude,
Variables
This research study integrates variables and focuses on these. The location of the chosen
community, the respondents' distinctiveness, and other societal factors constitute the independent
variables. On the other hand, the responses that will be acquired, the findings, the conclusions
which will then be drawn, the community diagnosis that will also be done, and the
recommendations that will be made will all be reliant on the independent variables.

Interpretation
Figure and Table 2 reveal the frequency distribution and percentage of family decision-
makers. According to the data, 40% or 10 families answered that their family decision-maker is
the mother, while 12% or 3 families answered that their father usually makes the decision. Further,
a majority of 48% or 12 families answered that both of their parents are the decision-makers of the
family.
Implication
According to studies some Filipino families considered the father as the principal
breadwinner and nominal head of the family and has the authority in making decisions for the
entire family. But according to the data presented, the majority of the respondents stated that both
of their parents are responsible for making decisions for the family. Joint husband-wife decision-
making patterns are also common in Filipino homes, wherein there is a division of roles and
domains. Household concerns like food, clothing, and child care are generally the domain of
mothers; whereas farming, business, and investment matters are the father’s domains (Porio, et al

and Muslim religions in the total population.
Implication
According to Stanford Medicine, the Philippines is the only country in Asia in which
Christianity is the national religion. This is probably the result of the Spanish Catholic reign in
The Philippines for more than 300 years. The major Christian denomination is Roman Catholic.

good health. Adolescence is a period of dramatic physical change marked by an overall physical
growth spurt and sexual maturation, known as puberty. Research on brain development helps us
understand teen risk-taking and impulsive behavior. A major developmental task during
adolescence involves establishing one’s own identity. Teens typically struggle to become more
independent from their parents. Peers become more important, as teens strive for a sense of
belonging and acceptance; mixed-sex peer groups become more common. New roles and
responsibilities are explored, which may involve dating, driving, taking on a part-time job, and

Implication
The distribution of the population by sex and age is one of the most important demographic
groupings. The study of age and sex structure occupies an important place in demographic
statistics. In the first place, indices of the populations' age and sex structure play an important part
in the system of indices of the plan for the development of the economic and cultural life of our
socialist society. They are used by planning agencies for assessing the attained level of
development of the economy and culture of the nation and its individual regions, for verifying the
course of fulfillment of plans, as well as for current and long-term planning. These factors
engender the need to have data on the changing distribution of the population by sex and age, as

as set forth by the school management committees. They must follow the national curriculum
required by the government but are free to have an additional curriculum (textbooks, extra subjects,

Implication
In the given data, most families, or 96% of the total population have their own
house. To prevent other people in the house from becoming sick if a person with a COVID-19 is
being cared for at home, the World Health Organization (2021), recommends that the ill person
should stay in a separate room. If this is not possible, then keep at least a 1-meter distance from
them. Everyone in the room, including the sick individual, should wear a medical mask.

noted that no family are living in rented or leased, living as a caretaker and living in a squatter area
Implication
Many people live in a city, or urban area and their homes and businesses are located very
close to one another unlike in rural areas, there are fewer people, and their homes and businesses
are located away from one another. In the data given, the majority of the family is living on their
owned land, since rural areas like Pangasinan are an open swath of land that has few homes or
other buildings, and not very many people that there is no record of family living in the squatter
area. Owning a land reduces financial burden, meaning you don’t have to rent land where you can
construct a house for your family and according to Maslow's needs owning land could not only
provide safety and security but also provide power and wealth.

side-effects; cultural or religious opposition; poor quality of available services; users’ and
providers’ bias against some methods; and gender-based barriers to accessing services.

Not Applicable, which means they do not use the method of breastfeeding; breastfeeding and
mixed feeding have 5 or 20%. Moreover, bottle feeding has 1 or 4% of the total population.
Implication
Many women decide to combine breastfeeding and formula feeding; often called
combination feeding, mixed feeding, or partial breastfeeding. Mixed feeding usually means
mixing breast and bottle feeding. The content of the bottle can be either breastmilk or formula
milk.
For some mothers, the idea of mixed feeding may come as a relief, as their baby will still
be getting the benefits of their breast milk but they get some respite from the often-tiring job of
breastfeeding. Babies can tend to fall asleep on the breast. Some mums find that giving them a
bottle of formula before bedtime for example can fill them up more and make their babies sleep

A lot of people want to learn new information when it comes to their health. It is important
to know any subjects related to our health for us to know the risk factors that can increase the
chance of acquiring diseases. Health education otherwise raises our knowledge about physical,

implemented, including mandatory public use of masks, regular hand-sanitizing and hand-
washing, social distancing, avoidance of crowds, remote work, and cancellation of public events,
taking vitamins every day and eating healthy foods. (Dadras et. al., 2021).

Implication
According to a study, internet and television usage increased during the COVID-19
pandemic, whereas newspaper and radio usage decreased significantly. The dissemination of
COVID-related information to the general public is greatly facilitated by the media and the way
we receive the information varies depending on what you utilize. In today's situation, the media
plays a critical role, as it can provide a unified platform for all public health announcements,
comprehensive healthcare education guidelines, and effective social distancing approaches while

Implication
As observed by Dela Cruz (2020), for all the complaints—valid or not—on social media,
Filipinos have survived the COVID-induced disruptions in their life in the past semester, not
because they are tops in discipline, but more because of their resilience, sense of Bayanihan and
faithfulness.
The challenge, though, was that while Filipinos may not be noted for their intense
discipline, they are noted for their resilience and adaptability. The unity to help each other, from
neighbors and our community, has made it possible for Filipinos to adapt to the new protocols. The
family spirit is always within us to protect each member of the family. They are willing to make a
sacrifice for the benefit of everybody and as such, we are pushed to obey to protect our family .

Implication
With the World Health Organization (WHO) designating COVID-19 as a global pandemic,
the novel coronavirus is spreading at a pace that requires significant policy and personal
interventions to contain and treat it. The economic impacts on households, businesses, and
financial markets could be profound. As the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (2019) states, the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic call for urgent
policy responses to keep the economy afloat and enable people to retain their jobs and incomes.
According to The World Bank (2021), at the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the
Philippine government introduced a large-scale social protection program while placing the
country on strict community quarantine. With the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, the government

to support local government units and health authorities in the Philippines, particularly frontline
healthcare workers, to prevent transmission, track priority populations for immunization, and treat
COVID patients in hospitals and at home, among other things. Meanwhile, 36% is the highest

In the data collected, it shows that cough holds 76% of the household’s population. Second
problem found in the household is headache as the usual illness with 72%. Third problem found
in the household is social and emotional affected aspect during the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. In the first problem, the data shows that cough is the first usual illness experienced in every
household. It can be triggered by both non-infectious causes, such as smoke, dust, and pet dander,
or by infectious agents, like bacteria and viruses. Cough, specifically dry cough, is one of the most

Community Diagnosis:
The community in which the student of Level 3 BSN block 3 lives is conducive to healthy
wellbeing. Despite the fact that the community faces various challenges, many of which are caused
by the pandemic's outbreak, the community can still be classified as healthy. Other than the threat
posed by the newly found COVID-19, there are no or very minor environmental risks. Through
the implementation of basic preventive measures and adherence to regulatory standards, the
community is coping admirably with the health threats posed by the pandemic.
The community must unite in order to create an environment that not only best satisfies
their demands in all aspects of life, but also, a secure and healthy one.
99
Recommendation:
1. Majority of the usual illness within the community is cough. Generally speaking, coughing is
perfectly normal. A cough can help to keep your throat clear from phlegm and other irritants.
Some home remedies that can relieve and soothe someone’s cough may be provided to enable
to control it at first. First, drink a lot of fluids. Staying hydrated, thins the drip so it’s less likely to
irritate throat and trigger a cough. This also makes it easier for the lungs to clear out the discharge.
And swallow some honey. It soothes the scratchiness in the back of your throat. One study
found that honey works just as well as over-the-counter drugs for calming nighttime coughs.
Sipping a hot drink, in some research shows that it can ease cold symptoms, including a cough.
The liquids are hydrating, and the heat helps to lower congestion. Like brew some calming
chamomile tea. Lastly, using over the counter drugs. Some natural OTC products that contain
very low doses of aspirin also help reduce the symptoms of sore throat and cough. (Nazario
MD, 2021)
Barangay Health Workers are suggested to encourage the community to make sure to get
annual flu shot, health teachings like avoid coming in contact with others who are sick, eating
healthy foods, drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, cleaning the common areas of your
home or room frequently this is especially important for countertops, toys, or mobile phones,
washing hands frequently, especially after coughing, eating, going to the bathroom, or caring
100
2. The second leading problem is having headaches. According to Wedro (2020), headache or
head pain sometimes can be difficult to describe, but some common symptoms include
throbbing, squeezing, constant, unrelenting, or intermittent. The location may be in one part of
the face or skull or may be generalized involving the whole head. Also, it may arise
spontaneously or may be associated with activity or exercise. It may have an acute onset or it
may be chronic in nature with or without episodes of increasing severity. To relieve headaches,
individual may do some adequate rest and the use of over the counter (OTC) medication in
pain. In addition, by Robinson (2020), there are several simple things that can do to ease the
pain without consulting to doctor. By having headaches possible to do are, placing a cold pack
on forehead with ice cubes wrapped in a towel and keep it compress towards head for 15 minutes,
and then take a break for 15 minutes. And also do wear sunglasses when doing outdoor activities
or wear a not to tight hat because bright or flickering light can also cause by headache. It could
be also keeping hydrated by drinking a lot of water can elevate pain. Dehydration can cause a
headache or make it worse. Or the use of medication in moderation, pain reliever can help to
reduce all kinds of headaches but to get the benefit with the least risk of it follow the directions
3. Most of the respondents’ social and emotional wellbeing were affected due to COVID-19
Pandemic. During the pandemic there’s an even greater focus on the damaging effects of
mental illness. One aspect of well-being that’s closely tied to mental health is social health and
emotional health, which has been greatly challenged during the pandemic. According
Providence (2020).
Social health is our ability to form meaningful relationships with others, from partners to
coworkers, family members to friends, enjoy positive interactions and adapt in social
101
situations. But because of COVID-19, social health has been impacted by distancing, isolation
and lockdowns. Knowing that socializing impacts our physical health, mental health and
mortality risk, it’s more vital than ever for people to feel connected and supported. Some ways
to have a better social health during pandemic are provided. It includes building social health

According to the site of NYC Health and Hospitals, to better manage individual’s
emotional health during the pandemic, try to include by move your body because physical
activity is good for preventing anxiety and depression or by eating a healthy food and spend

In addition, eating healthy meals, getting plenty of sleep, and meditating may help. If the
community feel themselves start to spin out into negativity or panic, grounding their selves in
the present moment can stop the negative spiral and allow their brain to come back online,
bringing attention to their breath and body, focus all of their attention on the here and now:
noticing the sights, sounds, and smells around them and what they’re feeling in their body.
102
Continue to breathe slowly in and out, gently bringing their mind back to their body and breath
every time it drifts—until they feel calmer. It’s important to take breaks from stressful thoughts
about the pandemic to simply enjoy each other’s company—to laugh, share stories, and focus
