CHAPTER 1 BACKGROUND OF THE COMMUNITY INTRODUCTION Community Health Nursing is a field of nursing that blends primary health care and nursing practice with public health nursing, based on the belief that are directed to the individual, the family, and the group contributes to the health care of the population as a whole. The community health nurse conducts a continuing and comprehensive practice that is preventive, curative, and rehabilitative. Community diagnosis is a systematic and scientific process of collection, collation, synthesis, analysis, and interpretation of the data in order to define healthnursing problems. It is also an in-depth process of finding out the profiles, health status of the community and the factors affecting the present status. In nursing community diagnosis is nothing new. It is used as a tool in assessment of the community status; community is seen as the primary client. In our group, as a student nurses, it is a privilege to us to be with the people of Brgy. Sto. Domingo, to communicate with them and render the appropriate services of care. We are there to help and work with them towards the maintenance of a healthy family and a healthy community. OBJECTIVES OF THE COMMUNITY DIAGNOSIS General Objectives To assess the leading problems within the community elated to their health and determine their health needs. To build a close-relationship between the family and student. To improve the health condition of the families living in the community.

METHODOLOGY USED IN COMMUNITY DIAGNOSIS In rendering health care needs to the identified problems of the community of the Brgy. Sto. Domingo, the student nurse needs effort, patience, time, and fare for their transportation, cooperation, and willingness of the family. In conducting community diagnosis as a student weve interviewed, surveyed and observed on the family and their community. The following are brief descriptions of common methods we use to collect data: 1. OBSERVATION - this method of data collection is done through the use of the sensory capacities- sight, smell, and touch. Through direct observation the nurse gathers information about the familys state of being and behavioral responses. The familys health status can be inferred from the signs and symptoms of problems areas reflected in the following: a. Communication and interaction patterns expected, used, and tolerated by the family members b. Role perceptions/task assumptions by each member, including decisionmaking patterns c. Conditions in the home and environment 2. INTERVIEW - another major method of data-gathering, which helps in completing the health history for each family member. The health history determines current health status based on significant past health history.

And to maintain the existing wellness of the individual in the community, to treat and prevent illnesses through health teaching.
