COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING: AN OVERVIEW
• What is a community?
- a group of people with common characteristics or interests living together
within a territory or geographical boundary
• What is health?
1. Health-illness continuum
2. High-level wellness
3. Agent-host-environment
4. Health belief
5. Evolutionary-based
6. Health promotion
7. WHO definition
- aims:
1. health promotion
2. disease prevention
3. management of factors affecting health
• What is nursing?
- Maglaya, et al
Goal: “To raise the level of citizenry by helping communities and families
to cope with the discontinuities in and threats to health in such a way as to
maximize their potential for high-level wellness”
- Nisce, et al
Basic Principles of CHN
1. The community is the patient in CHN, the family is the unit of care and there
are four levels of clientele: individual, family, population group (those who
share common characteristics, developmental stages and common exposure
to health problems – e.g. children, elderly), and the community.
5. CHN is a part of health care system and the larger human services system.
• Clinician, who is a health care provider, taking care of the sick people at
home or in the RHU
• Health Educator, who aims towards health promotion and illness prevention
through dissemination of correct information; educating people
In the event that the Municipal Health Officer (MHO) is unable to perform his
duties/functions or is not available, the Public Health Nurse will take charge of
the MHO’s responsibilities.

ASSESSMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS
Community Diagnosis
- A process by which the nurse collects data about the community in order
to identify factors which may influence the deaths and illnesses of the
population, to formulate a community health nursing diagnosis and
develop and implement community health nursing interventions and
strategies
STEPS:
• Preparatory Phase
1. site selection
2. preparation of the community
3. statement of the objectives
4. determine the data to be collected
5. identify methods and instruments for data collection
6. finalize sampling design and methods
7. make a timetable
• Implementation Phase
1. data collection
2. data organization/collation
3. data presentation
4. data analysis
5. identification of health problems
6. priority zation of health problems
7. development of a health plan
8. validation and feedback
• Evaluation Phase
Biostatistics
A. Demography
* Sources:
Census – complete enumeration of the population
De jure De facto
People were assigned to the place where People were assigned to the place
they usually live regardless of where they where they are physically present at
are at the time of census. the time of census, regardless, of
their usual place of residence.
COMPONENTS:
Population size
Population composition
* Age Distribution
* Sex Ratio
* Population Pyramid
* Median age
age below which 50% of the population fall and above which 50% of the
population fall. The lower the median age, the younger the population
(high fertility, high death rates).
* Age – Dependency Ratio
used as an index of age-induced economic drain on human resources
* Other characteristics:
- occupational groups
- economic groups
- educational attainment
- ethnic groups
Population Distribution
* Urban-Rural
shows the proportion of people living in urban compared to the rural areas
* Crowding Index
indicates the ease by which a communicable disease can be transmitted
from 1 host to another susceptible host.
* Population Density
determines congestion of the place
B. Vital Statistics
the application of statistical measures to vital events (births, deaths and
common illnesses) that is utilized to gauge the levels of health, illness and
health services of a community.
• Fertility Rate
• Mortality Rates
• Morbidity Rates
Prevalence Rate
Incidence Rate
C. Epidemiology
- the study of distribution of disease or physiologic condition among
human population s and the factors affecting such distribution
- the study of the occurrence and distribution of health conditions
such as disease, death, deformities or disabilities on human
populations
Basic Concepts:
1. Epidemiologic Triad
2. transmission
3. incubation period
4. herd immunity
Epidemic
a situation when there is a high incidence of new cases of a specific
-
disease in excess of the expected.
- when the proportion of the susceptibles are high compared to the
proportion of the immunes
Epidemic potential
- an area becomes vulnerable to a disease upsurge due to causal
factors such as climatic changes, ecologic changes, or socio-
economic changes
Endemic
- habitual presence of a disease in a given geographic location
accounting for the low number of both immunes and susceptibles
e.g. Malaria is a disease endemic at Palawan.
- the causative factor of the disease is constantly available or present
to the area.
Sporadic
- disease occurs every now and then affecting only a small number
of people relative to the total population
- intermittent
Pandemic
- global occurrence of a disease

Unit 7
STRATEGIES AND METHODOLOGIES IN CHN
Strategies/Programs to Promote Health of the Vulnerable Sectors of the
Population
Strategies:
A. Provision of Regular and Quality Maternal Care Services
► regular and quality pre-natal care
- hx-taking, utilization of HBMR (Home-Based Mother’s Record)
as a guide in the identification of risk factors
- PE: weight, height, BP-taking
- Perform head-to-toe assessment, abdominal exam
- Tetanus Toxoid Immunization
- Fe supplementation: given from 5th mo. of pregnancy to two
months postpartum (100-120 mg orally/day for 210 days)
- Laboratory exam: Heat-acetic acid test. Benedict’s test
- Oral/Dental exam
► Pre-natal counseling
Schedule:
At birth: BCG
1 ½ months: First doses of DPT, Hep B, OPV
2 ½ months: Second doses of DPT, Hep B, OPV
3 ½ months: Third doses of DPT, Hep B, OPV
Tetanus Toxoid:
First Pregnancy: TT1- 5th to 6th mo of pregnancy, after 4 weeks TT2 (3 years
immunity)
Second Pregnancy: TT3 (1st booster dose) – 5th to 6th (5 years immunity)
Third Pregnancy: TT4 (2nd booster dose) – 5th to 6th (10 years immunity)
Fourth Pregnancy: TT5 (3rd booster dose) – 5th to 6th (life-long long immunity)
Administration:
Side Effects:
Q: What is the eligible age for giving immunization (up to what age can we give
the immunization)?
A: Before the child reaches 6 years old
* a booster dose of BCG shall also be given to all school entrants both in
private and public schools REGARDLESS of presence of BCG scar.
Q: What if the 2nd dose of Tetanus Toxoid was not given to the mother, when is
the best time to give the dose?
A: It has to be given after birth in order to protect the mother and the succeeding
pregnancies.
Q: What if the child has fever of <38.5 C, mild respiratory infections and
diarrhea, should the child be given the vaccine?
A: The abovementioned conditions are not to be considered as a
contraindication to immunization. Thus, vaccine can still be given.
COLD CHAIN
► A system used to maintain the potency of a vaccine from that of manufacture
to the time it is given to child or pregnant woman.
Principles:
I. Storage
■ Type
■ Expiration date
■ Duration of Storage
■ # of times they have been brought out to the field
U Damaged by
T heat and
I freezing
Hepa-B Liquid
Damaged by
Least Tetanus Liquid 20 dose/vial heat or
Sensitive Toxoid freezing
to heat
► The vaccine stored the LONGEST AND THOSE THAT WILL EXPIRE
FIRST should be distributed or used 1st.
► It is MUST to mark ampules / vials with an “X” mark each time they are
carried to the field, because if a VACCINE IS NOT USED on the third trip,
it must already BE DISCARDED.
