INTRODUCTION
The family is the basic unit of a society. As a universal social institution, it

may be defined according to Burgess, as a group of persons united by ties of
marriage, blood or adoption; constituting a single household unit, interacting and
communicating with each other in their respective social rules of husband and
wife, mother and father, son and daughter, and creating and maintaining a
common culture. Based on his definition, the nature of family will be affected by
several modifications foremost of which is the socio-cultural factor. The family
will inevitably be affected by the changes that occur within the society of which it
is a part. Society is never static. It is constantly changing. Changes that may
occur will be reflected in family life. Considering the impact of the family in
molding the personality of its members, one cannot overemphasize the
importance of knowing the interrelationship of family and socio-cultural forces.
A family may also be “two or more people who live in the same household
(usually), share a common emotional bond, and perform certain interrelated
tasks. Spradley (1990, p. 100). The second definition is more favorable for
healthcare providers because it gives emphasis on the fact that there are
different types of families. Many types of families exist, and a family will change
over time as it is affected by birth, work, death, divorce and growth of each family
member.
A family represents a certain group in a community, and as a group, each
member must have a certain role to play or complete a certain task. Majority of
the roles people view as appropriate are the roles they see their parents fulfill.
Each generation takes on the values and traditions of the past generation,
handing down tradition and culture from one generation to the next.
Some of the main tasks that essentially should be carried down or passed
on from one family to the next are basically norms in society pertaining to family,
which are: A family must provide food, shelter, clothing and health care for its
members; prepare children to live in the community and interact with people
outside the family; determine which family needs will be met and their order of
priority; open an effective means of communication between family members,
establish family values and enforce common regulations for all members; apply
division of labor; place members of the family into different sectors of society
such as school, religious affiliations, or political groups; and maintain motivation
and morale. The stability of the family is a delicate thing made up of the interplay
and exchange between members. Crisis occur when change in role is necessary
and the emotional balance within the family is disturbed. Illness of an individual
member often creates a difficult change in role and a crisis occurs. As with the
individual, the stage of development of which illness is interjected affects the
nature and severity of the crisis of the family.
The family as a group has the dual task of attaining its goals and meeting
the needs of its individual members. Within the constraints of its social roles,
each family develops its own set of values, its own patterns of behavior, or no
communication between husband and wife and between parents and children are
among the tasks.
By fulfilling these tasks through the developmental stages, each family
member must work with every other member and play his designated role.
Through positive means, in effect the family structure will be healthy resulting in
each member’s successful growth and development.
As a requirement of NCM501205, we the students were required to conduct a family

care study of Zone 4- Igpit Misamis Oriental. In relation to this, I have chosen the
Cahatian Family for my family care study for they poses the criteria for the need of
family care. Thus, education on health and health teachings regarding possible
diseases at risk was emphasized. Referral to medical heath team as well as intervention
of their sufficient condition was done in accordance to care.
A. Objective of the Study

At the end of two (2) weeks of Community Health Exposure Group B-17
will be able to impart to the Cahatian Family the health programs of the
Department of Health (DOH) for the promotion of health and prevention of
illnesses and the improvement of the conditions in the social and physical
environment. The group aims to provide nursing interventions to identified health
problems affecting the family. Information on Integrated Management for
Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) will be imparted to the family since they have two (2)
kids that belong to the 0-5 year’s bracket. I aim to participate in the family in the
over-all health plan affecting the family, in its implementation and evaluation.
B. Scope and Limitation of the Study

This Family Health Care Study provides information and additional
knowledge to the family concerned. By this, I am focusing only on the Cahatian
Family, on its health problems, on the prevention of illnesses, and health
promotion. We give emphasis on DOH programs that is most beneficial to the
family and the availability of health care services offered by the Department of
Health through our Health Centers. Most importantly the child with aged 0-5
years old will be thoroughly assessed and monitored on its health condition.
I will to implement health teachings according to the knowledge they have
gained from nursing theories and its application on the community health setting.
Family care study covers only two (2) weeks of Community Health Nursing. This
is also limited to the family's capabilities to participate and cooperate with the
nursing interventions. It is also limited to the financial capabilities of the family.

HEALTH HISTORY
Diabetes mellitus is one of the underling problems which a certain people

in the community setting have. In the case of the Cahatian Family, they are very
much predisposed to the illness for both the maternal parents have the said
illness. It may seem presumptive as of now that they would manifest such
diabetes symptoms yet the genetic or hereditary factor is present.
In most Filipinos Hypertension or the abnormal increase in the blood
pressure is evident 60-75 percent in a certain age group (Medical Surgical by
Black). The paternal side of the Cahatian family had a history of mild to moderate
hypertension and familial heart problem. Both parents of the father had
hypertension. Mr. x is 33 years of age, who came from the province of Bukidnon
and is presently residing now in x. He is a father of two children with ages from 8
mos. to 1 year and 8 mos. old. He works as a Jeepney driver of a x with an
average monthly income of Php 5,000.00 a month which is not totally enough to
support the family’s basic needs. He works from Sunday to Saturday from 6am-
10pm the most, where he finds no time to rest and stay with his family for the
weekend. But he manages to provide food for the family so they can eat at least
three square meals a day which is considered his most important target to
accomplish for the family. No hospital record for him so far.
Mrs. Y is 21 years of age, her family originated from Y. She met Mr. X
during a Barangay Dance “disco” and consequently got married and settled. She
is a plain housewife and stays most of the time at home. Both parents of the
maternal side, had diabetes mellitus that is why she is utmost predisposed to
acquiring diabetes. She has been hospitalized twice in X due to Maternal delivery
with her first baby and the second baby.
C, 1 year and 9 months is the eldest of two children. When Mr. X stopped
using condom since it was costly for them, C became the product of their
marriage. He was breastfed when she was an infant and he has completed his
Hepatitis vaccination. No records of hospitalization were revealed by the mother
upon interview except common colds, fever and cough which was just confined
at home.
Baby V, 8 months old is the second child. She came out to this world as a
result when Mrs. Y experienced headache when using Depo (injectibles) and
stopped using it. The mother breastfed her but was not successful due to mixed
feeding or bottle fed. She has not yet completed her Hepatitis vaccination. She
too had not been hospitalized. Once she was sick due to colds, she was just
confined at home.
PRESENT HEALTH STATUS
The father of the family X, who is currently 33 years old is a Jeepney

Driver of X with the danger in the road as always. During my one day encounter
with him due to his unavailability, he appeared to be physically fit. His vital signs
are all in normal BP(120/90mmHg). He has a normal respiration = 16 cpm. He
complains back pain recently due to prlonged sitting in the drivers sit. He drinks
beverages of hard liquor from around 3 bottles per week and smokes
occasionally, approximately 4 – 5 sticks per week according to him. He
eliminates waste 5 to 7 times per week. Usually he eats vegetables and fish as
well as “sinugba” which is usually the ”pulutan” of choice.
The light or “ilaw” of the house is Mrs. Y, 21 years old and is the mother of
2 children. She is a High School Undergrad. She is said to have completed her
immunization schedule. Her blood pressure is 110/80mmHg and has a
respiration of 19 cpm which is believed to be normal. She was prone to have
Diabetes Mellitus because both of her parents has DM. She currently does not
smoke and drink hard liquors. She has no allergies as stated by the client.
Eliminates once daily on a day to day biases, her usual food intake are
vegetables and soups because according to her vegetables are very cheap and
affordable yet nutritious.
The eldest child, C is 1 year and 8 months old He is physically and
emotionally stable. He is said to be allergic to shrimps. Both the eldest and the
second child were immunized with Hepa doses. They usually eat vegetables and
loves fishes in there usual day to day diet.
.
The youngest child, Baby V who is currently 8 months old. During my
assessment, I observed the client manifesting runny nose, she is calm, a

Jean is having colds for 3 days already and baby Jean is in her process of
teething

HOME AND ENVIRONMENT
The X family resides at X. Their house is made up of mixed wood and cement. It
is about 10.5 feet wide in front view and 6.5 feet tall when standing inside the
house. With due respect, I do observe that the family has a limited budget on
extra materials from the house. Inside the house you will see the unfinished
clippings of plywood. Nails are not well hammered which is a sign of insufficient
foundation. According to Mrs. Y, her husband earns about P5000/month. Their
total earnings only benefit their day to day basic needs primarily the foods they
eat.
Their house is composed of two sections. This said section is partially closed
with three walls. One section is utilized as the dining room and living room. The
other section of the house is the bedroom which is elevated from the living room.
I was also able to observe that the area has a poor sanitary condition, so as to
find a soil formed flooring where in times of rainy season, the area is very much
prone to flooding if not muddy.
They get their electricity tapped from their parents house. Aside from the radio,
TV and the 3 electric lights, they don’t have any other home or electrical
appliances. The Cahatian family makes use of mosquito nets as protection from
the mosquito bites.
The X family gets their drinking water supply primarily from buying just next
house and they also store water in Water containers. They use this water for
daily purposes, such use includes in washing of clothes, taking a bath, washing
dishes, and many other functions. The drummed water which is said to be for
drinking is not boiled anymore.
The kitchen is primarily a dirty kitchen type, located at the back of the house.
They use firewood to make fire or to keep fire burning. Dust or ashes from
firewood is all over the area. Cooking the food through a kittle has been practiced
since then. The house has no sink; accordingly they drain or wash plates at the
back of the house. Piles of used kitchen utensils and plates were observed. They
don’t clean the dishes until needed because accordingly they save water by
washing plates at one time.
The drainage system is quite poor, they don’t have a sink and proper sewage
water could be displaced. During rainy seasons, it was almost flooding in the
area since the water is stagnant in the area. The family does not observe proper
garbage segregation. They only dump all their garbage regardless of whether
biodegradable or non-biodegradable in one side of the house. They also burn
their trash.
The X family doesn’t have any domesticated animals because according to them,
they don’t have extra budget for feedings. Although cats and dogs are quite
visible in the area, they do not own one for its maintenance still cost few amount.
Knowing that their budget for there day to day expenses may be affected as well
as other means. Having a pet means you have to find a way to feed them this
explains why they don’t have a pet aside from the pig.
The family does have a toilet of their own, antipolo type situated at back of the
house which is exclusively for disposal only; taking a bath is done outside the
house. The toilet upon my observation is not proper clean and maintained well.
Most of the area in the community of X is owned by Boy Sabo. Therefore, the
residents do not have titled lot. And by this statement, they are at risk for being
evacuated or ask to abandon the place. In the said area we I had observed that
the people don’t really participate on particular activities or is not active in team
building activities. Likewise the Cahatian family is not fully aware on the services
or resources in the community.

ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION
Day 1
X
Orientation Phase
On the very first day of duty in the community, it took us the hard time to find our
own patient and at the same time choosing our family care study patient that will be
visited and assessed by the group. Basically, we have to follow on the criteria given to
us that will qualify a family to be our respective patients. If we are to base on the
problems the family has, the community has less problems that concerns on health
related areas since more of the identified dilemmas were environmentally traces.
Despite of this fact, we patiently took the time in finding our patients that can be of help
to us and we can be a help to them as well as a change agent or an educator in their
humiliating health conditions.
So, as we have tried to move on and grabbed some learning that skillfully
enhances our knowledge in close contact to people and showing them of how to be a
people to people, we were able to select the family based on their needs. Through this
manner, prioritization is being practiced and sharpened.
Day 2
X
Working Phase
As finally decided, I am able to choose the patient that bests seek my support in
their living. Most likely, the need to establish rapport and gauging their interest and
participation is my main goal at this moment of time. Determination of their effort to
participate and sincerest approval to our presence is also a great deal to be cleared and
promoted throughout the entire visit that we are to take with them.
As I begin this contact with them, I initiatively took the step to have personal
contact; I visit them in their households and take some part of their time. I took the step
in taking their data, which in this way, collection of data is performing the procedures
that will be more sharpened as the more we do it.
Day 3
X
Working Phase
Since I have partially collected data by interviews or physical assessment, I
immediately interpret and investigate data by being inquisitive to the family in order to
answer my questions in my mind that will help me increase my critical thinking and
judgment to the data I have on hand. It is indeed necessary to take extra careful in
dealing with what I have collected that perhaps confirmation should be rechecked and
appropriately managed.
All senses were being improved to find flaws and comprehend the application of
learned theories in actual setting by doing health teachings and giving guidelines to be
followed by them. This task took me responsible to what I could bring to the family in so
many ways I can as student nurse.
Day 4
X
Working Phase
This is the step for me to intervene to my patient that requires great skill and
knowledge. As most of us, this activity is believed to take a closer connection to the
family that applications of needed activities require thorough study to prevent errors and
faulty nursing practices. The building of trust may be noticed in time towards the end of
the actual performances.
In response to their short responses, I believe that this has captured and
enlightened their function as a human of their own. Helping them enrich their lives calls
a sense of responsibility and accountability to their selves.
Day 5
X
Termination Phase
On this last visit, everyone wish to help our individual family clients, addressing
their needs and giving them care to what they wish. It is my chance to share my
knowledge through giving health teachings and imparting information for their own
benefits. Most likely, my tasks as student nurse are primarily focused on the basic areas
to be implanted to them in action and words. This may be appreciated once the taught
knowledge will be applied and inhibited. I gladly thank my patients in giving their time
and may they be able to find their position in life as a person.

EVALUATION
Although some short comings were not thoroughly anticipated during the
care of the family as well as referral was not very successful due to the
unavailability of the family members to be referred. Still I was able to care to the
concerned family.
There were no difficulties encountered as to the family member’s attitude
because they were participative and accommodating throughout the care
rendered to them. Furthermore, as of other aspects was difficult to plan because
it was not anticipated, such mentioned difficulty was encountered with the father
of the family because of his unavailability during the process of care. The said
father leaves at 6 am and comes home at 7-10pm that is why he was only cared
once because during that day he did not go to work.
Even though the family relies more on herbal treatment rather than
medical treatment, they still go to the nearby health center that is if they
experienced unusualities in their bodies lasting more than 5 days accordingly.
In the client care process, several interventions were done as well as
health teachings. This includes the appropriate care for the disease conditioned,
information drive or further research and education which concerns of health care
and health related conditions. As well as other health tips were emphasized to
the concerned family, these were discussed as to anticipate the care of the
individual and the family as a whole.
