INTRODUCTION
In midwifery profession, they are not only trained with clinical

but in the community also. As part of the midwifery studies, the most
important is to know how to solve the identify health issues of women
from pregnancy up to giving birth, to give the proper advised to prevent
health problem of one sick person and to be able to cope up in the
community setting.
Some midwives are assigned in the area especially in a GIDA

where the place is isolated or away from the main or in a hospital and
Rural Health Unit. A community midwife is a multi-task position. They
were the mini-Doctor of Barangay, but of course with limitation of work.
In community, they have learned lot of things, from a little building a
harmonious relationship with the community people, because in
community everybody has its own individual differences.
This book is all about community diagnosis. You can find out
the brief description and history of the chosen Barangay, the
information of the identified 20 households, the economic indices which
related to the way of living, the occupation of the people in the
community, the means of communication and transportation, the
capacity of the family to buy needs and expenditures thru the
computation of the average family income, the environmental
sanitation which related to the types of toilet used, the sanitary
condition of the toilet facility, the methods of garbage disposal, the
source of drinking water, the way of sanitizing drinking water and prefer
storage of food and sanitize drinking water. The journal of the whole
duration of community diagnosis is also included. And the most
important to find out what are the health problems, the plan of action
and how to implement the action given

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
All throughout the days, weeks and months, as we are complying

this community diagnosis seemed so hard on how we could manage
our time between a Rural Health Midwife and a student. We are grateful
that Bgy. San Juan, Dumaran, Palawan headed by Barangay Captain
Hon. Merlinda Mondragon and the Local Municipality of Dumaran
headed by Mayor Hon. Arnel Caabay, allowed us to conduct
community diagnosis in the area. On the other hand, we are also
thankful to our Municipal Health officers both Municipality of Dumaran-
Araceli by supporting our profession and allowed us to continue studies
even we have to render services in amidst of pandemic Covid-19. And
also, with the community people who participated and gave the
appropriate data that we had collated and never attempt to lie for the
question that was asked.
5
RATIONALE
The information we had collected was not only for our goodness
but for the community. It interprets every factor in the community. Even
at least 20 household were surveyed but it could be the baseline in
interpreting the economic, socio-cultural, environmental indices and
the problems that needs to have solution for the improvement of the
community. We were conducting community diagnosis for us to help
the community by making an action plan on how to resolve the
problems observed.
6
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
This whole duration of collecting data for community diagnosis

intend to find the general objectives which to identify problems in
community that need an appropriate action. Second is the specific
objectives which is the realization of community people regarding their
participation in all activities held in Barangay. Lastly is to build a
harmonious relationship between Barangay Officials, and other
responsible person in Barangay with the community people in every
health-related activities, health-related issues that need solution,
parties and other important indoor and outdoor activities in Barangay.
7
METHODOLOGY AND TOOLS USED
In collecting and collating data, there should be techniques to be

use. Establishing rapport with barangay officials is the main thing to
achieve. Their approval in all Barangay activities were necessary.
Next, we have to conduct house to house visit to gather information
needed for the community diagnosis. The interview sheets, ballpen,
pen, manila paper, pliers are tools needed for health education and
conducting interview.
8
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
As we are studying under pandemic Covid-19 is so challenging

nor hazardous. We should have to walk without knowing if someone
we had to talk is a carrier of this invisible virus. We had to limit our
actions, need to flex schedule every day, if how many households we
had to visit, when and where to conduct health education to observe
social distancing and minimize the number of participants. As a Rural
Health Midwife we had to make an itinerary of activities every day. The
consultation, prenatal, health education, family planning, handling
normal deliveries and even encountering emergency cases. Indeed,
we should have to manage our time to handle all activities every day.

ANALYSIS
The table shows that out of 20 households surveyed has

population of 112 comprising of 66 males and 46 females which
obviously seen that there are more males than females. It also shows
that the reproductive age (15-49 years old) has the largest count of
population in the Barangay. It implies that possible increase of
population in the Barangay by the next years since the higher number
of population is the Reproductive Age group (15-49 yrs.). Teenage
pregnancy will possible to happen since the numbers of children in
population are greater than adult.
RECOMMENDATION
To the Health Workers:
Encourage family members specially those teenager since it was
the higher age group based on age distribution shown above to
sharpen their mind and for their awareness on how to have a good and
healthy family, how to properly engaged in sexually activity with the use
of proper method and to educate teenagers to focus in other lifestyle
activity.
To the Barangay Officials:

To support health programs and projects within the barangay.
To provide enough budgets for BHS and RHU to buy equipment and
other needs of health facilities. Continue to coordinate with LGU
regarding programs, projects and other health related activities that
could help young ones to be keep their life busy and could away from
troops and parties that would lead to early pregnancy

According to the surveyed, there are more singles than married.

The possibility of marrying or having new couples is higher. It will be a
great indicator of increasing population of Barangay in the following
years. It implies that strictly educating those single-group of
population especially young ones who are in reproductive age group
about their great impart of increasing population by next years when
they get married is highly recommended for the health-field workers,
so, family planning is required on focused and well-availability in the
BHS/RHU.

Out of 112 population, there are 71 individuals who are not working
since they are student or under age for work but it could be based
that families are suffering from poverty. It could be the best indicator
for the Barangay officials to coordinate with the LGU for having an
association that could help households gain money or provides job for
the working age-group within the barangay or in the local for them to
earn additional income to be used in buying basic and personal
needs.

It is closely related on the occupational status which is Jobless

are higher than those with. It implies that population is suffering from
poverty which could affect the well- being of family member. But on the
other hand, housewife got high rate also in occupation but being a
housewife there is no pay of money, that’s why it could really affect the
way of living, the insufficiency of basic needs of the family and maybe
the health of family member would be affected to. Even family with
schooled children will turned into unschooled one, because of
insufficient fund for sending child at school.

It shows that average monthly income is not sufficient to sustain

the basic needs of the family. They maybe adjust their selves just like
for the girls, by creating and providing additional family income thru
livelihood projects like gardening, making flower base and other
creative designs or house décor for them to sale and gain additional
income. And for the boys learn to do household activities, heavy
activities just like to be construction worker because it in demands
within the community and other near Barangays of the Municipality.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

Based on information collected, only 20 percent of the population were
surveyed. The main source of income was being a housewife for the mothers
and farmer/fisherman for the father. Chosen barangay is a coastal and has
a wide land area that’s why farming and fishing is the main choice of work.
Unfortunately, based on the data, only 1000-5000 pesos average monthly
income per family, in current time with all prices hike, it is not sufficient if all
expenditures will rely on average monthly income. Next, in the socio- cultural
indices, most of the community people are literate, so meaning, they know
how to read and write, aware of what kind of surrounding they had. Most are
Roman Catholic and stayed for a long period in Barangay San Juan, but
some are migrated from Cuyo, Palawan which cuyunon is the main dialect
even at home. In environmental indices, they had a good lighting facility
within barangay but payable, it is also for the routine maintenance of the
75
lighting facility. They had a good practices in excreta disposal and garbage
disposal. On a drinking water, they should be more aware of what or how
water-borne diseases could distract their health and so with proper storage
of foods. It is also indicated that most of the mothers are using family
planning. Cough and colds is the main cause of morbidity in the community,
typically affected by climate change, hence, once it is not cured, some cases
lead to pneumonia which is notified as the main cause of mortality in
Barangay.
Therefore, we conclude, with regards to health condition, community

has not enough knowledge so barangay health workers, probably need to
conduct health education to provide additional information on how to prevent
main cause of morbidity, main cause of mortality, additional information for
the abstinence women to choose the proper family planning method. On the
other hand, the community is suffering from poverty. No more kinds of works,
no more choice for them where to get additional income to be used in
everyday expenditures, so, to end this kind of shortness, we conclude that
Barangay officials find more ways of earnings, not only for their sake but for
the good of the community. They could expand their community to prevent
poverty by helping people make a choice, consulting in a local and provincial
government to open some businesses or job within barangay, so the
benefactor will be the community people. Even little but a great help.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
❖ Non-safe drinking water

Health education conducted by health team in barangay to
disseminate information regarding safe water, proper way of
sanitizing drinking water.
❖ Improper use of family planning method

Conduct health education to reproductive age-group
especially for sexually active for them to know the advantages
and disadvantages of using modern family planning method than
natural method.
❖ Low average monthly income

Supposedly at this point, the decision will rely on the family.
But since they are part of the community, Barangay could open
and offer some job for them to earn additional income especially
for the family head or in any member that has a capability to work.
Request for a workshop to teach community people by making
some flower pots/vase, collecting plastic bottles to sell or make
some designs at home, to cook snacks and other ways for
gaining money.
