N107- Family Case Study 2012 INTRODUCTION
I.
A. OVERVIEW Community refers to a group of people who interact with each other; it is a social group determined by geographic boundaries, common values and interest. It functions within a social structure, exhibits and creates norms, values, and social institution. (Microsoft ® Encarta, 2009) In Community health nursing, one of the two major fields of nursing in the Philippines, nursing practice in the community means different things to different nurses. Its primary goal is the promotion and preservation of health of its client that could be in the individual, family, population, group and community. In community health nursing practice includes nursing directed to individuals, families, groups; the dominant responsibility is the population as a whole. With these, the health of the people is a reflection of the communities of which they live, play, work and learn. Communities shape the lifestyle that people adopt and their livelihood of living safe, fulfilling and productive lives. Family, basic social group united through bonds of kinship or marriage, present in all communities. Ideally, the family provides its with protection, companionship, security, and socialization. The structure of the family, and the needs that the family fulfills vary from society to society. The nuclear family—two adults and their children—is the main unit in some societies. In others, it is a subordinate part of an extended family, which also consists of grandparents and other relatives. In a community, the family is considered to be its basic unit. (Microsoft ® Encarta, 2009) Our community experience has been founded on the above principle. This exposure did not only provide an avenue to apply what we have acquired in the classroom but also provided an opportunity to serve our fellowmen. Because being in the community is more than meeting the requirements in the Related Learning Experience (RLE), it is being experience the real world, making real memories and rendering service with competence, conscience, commitment and care. This paper presents a case of a nuclear family of five (5) at The Tent City, Calaanan, Cagayan de Oro City. As a community health student nurse assigned in the area, I was given a chance to care for a certain family. After initial survey of the place, I came across to the XX family. The objective of the study is to smooth the progress of putting into practice the concept of family-oriented nursing care and make certain an organized approach in the delivery of the nursing services to the families in the community, purposely in the application of the nursing process. It aims to identify the health problem of a family within the community. As student nurse, I could give and apply some nursing interventions that are applicable and attainable within the community health services.

N107- Family Case Study 2012 At the end of two (4) weeks of Community Health Exposure, I will be able to provide to the XX family nursing interventions to the identified health problems affecting the 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 will also be imparted to the family, and also to participate with 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 about health to the family concerned. The student is focusing only on the XX family, on their health promotion, prevention of illness and possible ways of alleviating health problems. The student also rendered health teachings according to our knowledge of health care concepts as well as through the culminating and microteaching last March 01, 2012. The student also emphasized DOH programs offered by the Department of Health and the services they offered at Barangay Health Centers. Family care study covers only four (4) weeks of Community Health Nursing. This is also limited to the family's capabilities and willingness to participate and cooperate with the nursing interventions.

Tent City, Calaanan Relocation Site, CDO; Tent No. 273. He had common colds and cough last month and doesn’t have any chronic illness as claimed. He was fully immunized during his childhood days since his mother was a BHW in their place. Last 2005, he suffered from Urinary Tract Infection thus consulted and itted at NMMC which lasted for 5 days. He had heredofamilial diseases of asthma, diabetes mellitus II and hypertension. No known food and drug allergy.
2. Client Mrs. XX Mrs. XX is 22 years of age, a housewife. She had her first menstruation at the age of 12 years old and had a regular monthly period. She was immunized completely during childhood. She claimed that she was positive for Hepatitis B when she was carrying her 2nd child on her womb (4 years ago) after a blood test was performed. She was in denial at that time, she did request another test but the result was still the same. She had no idea where she got the dreadful disease. She knows how the disease was transmitted. Now she’s in a stage of acceptance as she claimed.

HOME AND ENVIRONMENT
1. Housing
All families who were victims of the typhoon Sendong, including family XX were sent at Calaan Relocation Site, Canitoan, Cagayan de Oro City (known as the Tent City) and were also given a tent (known as the Shelter box) by the government where
they
will
temporarily reside. The family was on Tent No. 273.
The
whole
(doors,
covering
flooring,
and
small windows) of the Tent is made up of polyester cloth which is a specialized kind of cloth
that
can
stand
heat and rain, and can’t be easily tear or damage. They were given a special mat additional for their flooring inside the tent. Two doors, the back and front have a pair of zippers used to lock their houses when they’re not around. Windows are widely open at night time. The family said that when its day to noontime (around 9am-3pm) it’s totally hot inside the tent, and very cold at nighttime to dawn (around 10pm-5am).
Inside the tent, at the center of it is where their little sala is seen, and the left and right compartments serve as the rooms where they usually sleep, change clothes and for the privacy of the couple.
Clothes hanging inside are noticeable also (resting sites of vectors of diseases such as mosquitoes).
Uses no electricity for their lighting facilities and other electrical devices ( cell phone charger, electric flashlight, electric fan, radio)
Has proper ventilation when the doors and windows are widely open

2. Water supply
Water comes from the common source where they usually have to walk and fetch from the water station
(25 meters away from
their tent- washing clothes and dishes, taking baths)
They
use
pail
and
plastic
containers as storage of water for washing the dishes.
Uses plastic gallons as storage for purified drinking water where it’s usually free and delivered by DUAL NARRA. If their supply is already consume, they then usually buy purified drinking water at the nearest drinking water system.

The health center is near and no need to spend money for fare
No fresh air and trees that give shade to the surrounding

FAMILY COPING INDEX The objective of this indicator is to present a benchmark for approximating the nursing
needs of the particular family, thus Family Coping Index. It is the coping capacity and not the underlying problem that is being rated, and it is designed to record family rather than individual coping capacity. The family cannot be seen only as a factor that affects health; rather, the family is the patient.

ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION
WEEK 1: January 19-21, 2012 (Orientation Phase) The first encounter with my family was last January 20, 2012 when we started our family profiling and somehow after gathering data, this family fitted the criteria for the family case study. As always, I greeted Mrs. XX and introduced myself. I stated the purpose of the visit and eventually asked permission using a consent letter if it is okay for them to be a part for the family case study. Then, I explained to her the whole course of the study, its purposes, benefits and all: family profile, assessment for 4 weeks, implementation of care and health teachings and documentations. I also assessed the family about their coping as for what had happen during the typhoon Sendong. We talked a lot. She did express her feelings and verbalized her thoughts.
WEEK 2: January 26-28, 2012 (Working Phase) During this week I continued my assessment and put my attention to their 3 children. I assessed them individually using my nursing skills and with the used of the IMCI booklet. Problems were identified and made me plan for the succeeding days to come. Same with Mrs. XX, problems were raised and explanations of such diseases
were

‘ WEEK 3: February 02-04, 2012 (Working Phase) The third week of the exposure here at the Tent City, I finally assessed the head of the family Mr. XX. He’s not always at their tent since he’s the only one working as a motor- rela driver for the needs and provision of his family. After the assessment and interview, health teachings were again imparted to him since he has an elevated blood pressure. He also claimed that they do have a family history of hypertension, asthma and DM II which makes him more at risk. Cleanliness not only to their bodies but also to their environment was stressed out. The disease conditions that one can get from improper handling of food, improper garbage disposal, and uncleanliness made the family more conscious about their health and hygiene. The family did raise many questions and I did answer them based on the books I read. WEEK 4: February 17-18, 2012 (Termination Phase) The fourth week and termination phase has already come. Together with the family, we evaluated the course of home visits and asked the family what they’ve learned for the past weeks. Same with them, I thanked the family for the hospitality and time they had given to me. Finally, I invited them to come and the income generating activity and microteaching this coming March 01, 2012.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Community Health Nursing has been a part of every student nurse’s life. It is a nurse’s
duty to bring to the people the health programs of the government. To provide immediate health care to the community people’s health problems before going to the higher health care facilities. Prevention is our primary task so it is our duty to do every means in order to educate the people. After four weeks of visitation, I had identified several family health problems and environmental problems as well. As included in the whole process of assessing, imparting health teachings and rendering care to the family , I recommend that the family should give first priority to their health and avail the services offered by the local government at the Tent City for proper referrals and further intervention of their disease conditions in which they are not familiar with. I am hoping and looking forward that the XX family will apply the things that the student nurse imparted to promote health and well being. Overall, the intervention that was implemented to family made a difference on their perception towards promoting health, and preventing illness. As a practicing health care giver, the experience that I have gain during the rotation had improved my understanding about community health nursing, not only that I have implemented interventions but the feeling of being accepted as a health care provider and helped in the improvement of others’ lives is very heartwarming and gave me a sense of accomplishment. For me, the concept of Community Health Nursing is not all about fulfilling the requirements to or just intervening the problems identified, it’s how the health care giver touches others lives and be one of them in attaining the solution of the problem, it’s about empathy and motivation towards one self and the community to perform such task pertaining to promoting health and preventing disease. This exposure inculcates to us lots of learning and values which would eventually help us to become competent health care providers as future nurses.
