    The document discusses the student's learning diary entry about their community health nursing experience. They interviewed a healthcare worker about their use of Department of Health programs. They also read about Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), which aims to reduce child mortality and promote growth for children under 5. IMCI takes a holistic approach through improving healthcare workers' skills, health systems, and family/community practices. It promotes accurate identification and treatment of illnesses in children as well as appropriate home care. The student notes IMCI is important because children often have multiple conditions, requiring an integrated treatment strategy. They ended their diary by discussing attending a family funeral and reviewing pharmacology.

    COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING


    LEARNING FEEDBACK DIARY(LFD #20)

    What I did for today was having an interview to a health care worker
    about the their utilization about DOH programs in their areas. It was
    funny. After that I tried to read the other pdf that Ms. Kissy gaved us,
    it was the IMCI or Integrated Management of Childhood Illness,
    though I haven’t finished it yet, I learned that IMCI is an integrated
    approach to child health that focuses on the well-being of the whole
    child. IMCI aims to reduce death, illness and disability, and to promote
    improved growth and development among children under five years of
    age. IMCI includes both preventive and curative elements that are
    implemented by families and communities as well as by health
    facilities.The strategy includes three main components, improving case
    management skills of health-care staff, improving overall health
    systems, and improving family and community health practices. Every
    day, millions of parents seek health care for their sick children, taking
    them to hospitals, health centers, pharmacists, doctors and traditional
    healers. Surveys reveal that many sick children are not properly
    assessed and treated by these health care providers, and that their
    parents are poorly advised. At first-level health facilities in low-
    income countries, diagnostic supports such as radiology and laboratory
    services are minimal or non-existent, and drugs and equipment are
    often scarce. Limited supplies and equipment, combined with an
    irregular flow of patients, leave health workers at this level with few
    opportunities to practice complicated clinical procedures. Instead, they
    often rely on history and signs and symptoms to determine a course of
    management that makes the best use of the available resources. These
    factors make providing quality care to sick children a serious
    challenge. WHO and UNICEF have addressed this challenge by
    developing a strategy called the Integrated Management of Childhood
    Illness (IMCI).In health facilities, the IMCI strategy promotes the
    accurate identification of childhood illnesses in outpatient settings,
    ensures appropriate combined treatment of all major illnesses,
    strengthens the counselling of caretakers, and speeds up the referral of
    severely ill children. In the home setting, it promotes appropriate care
    seeking behaviours, improved nutrition and preventative care, and the
    correct implementation of prescribed care.
    Children brought for medical treatment in the developing world are
    often suffering from more than one condition, making a single
    diagnosis impossible. IMCI is an integrated strategy, which takes into
    account the variety of factors that put children at serious risk. It
    ensures the combined treatment of the major childhood illnesses,
    emphasizing prevention of disease through immunization and
    improved nutrition. That’s all for today. Since it was also Sunday, me
    and my family went to the funeral of my father, we pray and eat
    together. Then after that, I helped manage the business and I reviewed
    for our Pharmacology.
