6.1. Peace and Order.
There is no reported crime committed in the whole year round, although there are
ample incidences of malicious mischiefs, robbery committed.
According to the Barangay Officials there is no social conflict that they experienced in
their barangay because according to the Barangay Kagawads they always keep their
barangay peaceful and their goal is to fight crime, protect the people and serve the
people in the community.

6.2.Perceived Problems
According to key informants like the BHW;s Kagawad and key people in the
community the following are the perceived health problems:
According to the kagawad for health one of the perceived problems of the barangay is
that there is no adequate allocation for health care fund. They said that if there are
some projects that they would like to implement, they would get it from their own money.
People also noticed the lack of health facilities due to insufficient medicine for those
who most need them. There is no assigned Rural Health midwife. The Mayor and the
RHU assigned 1 RHM to come during immunization and prenatal schedules only.

1. Introduction

Community diagnosis includes a comprehensive assessment of the health status

of the whole community in relation to the community’s social, biological and physical
environment. It is needed to describe and identify the health status of a community
as well as assessing the attitude of the community towards its services and
resources.

The Level III nursing students of St. Paul University Iloilo under the Community
Health Nursing duty exposure conducted a study and survey at Barangay Jones in
the province of Iloilo along with its goals to motivate and seek wide participation for
the improvement of the community through data collection, collation analysis and
interpretation of the data gathered which would include statistics, problem
identification and setting of priority for community diagnosis of Barangay Jones,
Iloilo.

There are so many factors that could affect the health of a family in the
community. Some may include: chronic illnesses, vices like alcoholism, drug
addiction and smoking and changes in the environment which may affect the health
of the people living in a community. To help the community with their needs, there
must be a basis for action and the nurse must have complete understanding on
concepts and models of the community health nursing as well as the importance of
health promotion and disease prevention. Assessment of the situation, health care
planning, implementation and evaluation of outcomes must also be done.

2. Objectives

 b. Ratio of Male over Females

The ratio of male over females is 103:100

c. Interpretation

According to the data gathered during the survey in Baranggay Jones ,the sex
ratio in the community is 103 male per 100 female as compared to the sex ration of
the Philippines which is 1 male per 1 female.Male has the highest distribution
according to the data gathered.

d. Analysis

There is a high birth rate of males in Baranggay Jones, Iloilo which could imply
that there will be domination of males in the community that could help in the
workforce.

e. Health Implication

Males are more prone to cardiovascular diseases according to the Department of

Health, if this ratio of 103:100 would continue overtime there will be most likely men
who will be at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and the Baranggay would
plan to conduct programs and services related to cardiovascular diseases.

 c. Interpretation

Among the 382 families, the majority of that belongs to the patriarchal type of
family which is equivalent to 61.52% or 235 families. The remaining 38.48% or 147 are
matriarchal.

d. Analysis

Filipinos are known to be patriarchal in terms of structure it is because of the

notion that the male has the right to run a family being the head. In the Philippines,
usually the males are the ones who tends to work and earn for a living to provide for
their family, In cases of the matriarchal wherein a mother decides the decisions in the
household some reasons might be that the father is absent or the mother earns a living
to support the family.Patriarchal type of family is really common among us Filipinos.

e. Health Implication

It Can be implied that a father cannot do tasks alone. The father is the one
who provide that’s health matters is really not an issue because mother’s
were there to care for the children. However in the matriarchal type, the
mother earns for a living that’s why health matters since who will be taking
care of the children when the mother cannot function well.

50.81 915 TOTAL 886 49.20

b. Graph
 c. Interpretation

Basing on the data shown and gathered, the base of the pyramid concludes that
large population of children aging 0-9 years implies that there must have been a high
crude birth rate. The middle part of the pyramid shows that there is a large population of
the reproductive years from 15-39 years old This would conclude that there is a high
General Fertility Rate. It could be implied by the evidence of high crude birth rate that
population in the Philippines may continue to rise.

d. Analysis

This pyramid belongs to the classification of a expansive pyramid. The pyramid

of Brgy Jones shows a wider base which means that there is already an increase in the
Crude birth rate and on the middle part of the pyramid which shows an increase
General Fertility Rate. The peak of the pyramid denotes high Crude death rate. We can
also see in the data that life expectancy matches with the number of individual who
reached the age of 56 and above

e. Health Implication

Based on the gathered data with High Crude Birth Rate and General Fertility Rate, the
community must prepare livelihood programs and medical missions and health
educations. The health centers must conduct teachings on fertility and family planning.
Feeding programs for children may also be employed in the prepared programs and
activities.

structure equivalent to 63.61%, which comprises the majority of the families.The
extended type, this account for 97 families or 25.39 %. The dyad type which accounts
for 2.36 % or 9 families and there are families with other arrangements which comprises
8.64% or 3 families

D. Analysis

Most of the families living in Barangay Jones have a nuclear type of family which
is the most common type of family based on structure. Some household may appear a
nuclear model but the family is extenden. It is common in our traditions as Filipinos to
include every family member and to gove importance in the bond and relationship that
we have.

E. Health implication

In the nuclear family the focus of health is a must since the family is just small in
size where in allocation must be adequate in terms of health expenses. Most of the
families living in Barangay Jones have a nuclear type of family which is the most
common type of family based on structure. T

55.36% of the population. People who are married sums up to 687 or 38.15% of
the population. The widowed individuals has the next number with 53 out of 1801
people or 2.94% of the population. Next are those who are in common law with a count
of 46 out of 1801 or 2.55% of the population. The lowest population is the separated
individuals with 18 or 1%.

D. Analysis

As for the data gathered in Brgy.Jones in civil status, the single status stood as
the highest rank with a value of 997 or 55.36% it is because that there is a high number
of children that belongs to the bracket 0-14 years old. This also relates of the majority of
the religion in the community are Catholics wherein it is a law that in order to get
married in the Catholic church the person must be 18 and above. This could also mean
that they respect the vows and sanctity of marriage.
 E. Health Implication

People who belong the single status may have less stress because they may
face fewer problems than this who are married. Married people already have families
and dealt with everyday family crisis which makes them prone to devlop stress
associates illnesses.

15.6% or 281 of the population has attained College. While 4.11% or 74 people of the
total population has attained Vocational Level.

iv. Analysis

Most people surveyed that the highest attainment that they had would be High School
and Elementary Graduate. This just shows that these people set off their priorities
differently. Instead of pursuing education and a career afterwards, they were forced to
stop and to find a job in order to sustain their needs. There are a lot of things that may
have caused this implications and one of them is poverty.

v. Health Implication
The most number of people has attained High School graduate. These individuals may
have tackled basic principles on how to properly treat oneself with nutrition, leisure,
hygiene etc. There are 323 individuals who has attained elementary and these are the
people who only knew the basics and probably lived their lives on what they’ve adopted
in the doings of others. Therefore I conclude that these people needs health education
in order to attain maximum benefits of being a living person and in order to live a
healthy, decent life.

degree holders, and there are 2.55% or 46 people of the total population has stopped
studying.

iv. Analysis

The data showed that the highest number belong to people who stopped studying. This
may be brought by a lot of issue just like for example they have set their priorities to
their other necessities which enables them to have extra budget to sustain their needs
for studying. Some of them may chose to spend their money on other expenses like
food, bills etc rather than spending it on education.

v. Health Implication

When you stopped studying that’s the time when you cannot get the additional
informations that might be useful for your health and can be a beneficial not only to
yourself but to your whole family as well. Having no knowledge about certain topics like
health may arise to problems and the development of diseases like obesity, dm, etc.

iv. Analysis

The number of people who are literate outnumbered those who are illiterate. This just
shows that even most of the people in the population were only High School and
Elementary graduate they can read and this is a big advantage for them to learn new
things.

v. Health Implication

Literacy means being able to keep up with the current events, communicate effectively
and understand the issues that are shaping in our world. Literacy also lifts individuals
out of poverty because it creates opportunities for people to develop skills that will help
them provide for themselves and for their family.

the citizens in Barangay Jones agree unemployed. This is due to lack off or inadequate
entrepreneurship and livelihood program inside the barangay.

v. Health Implication

If most of the people in the barangay are unemployed and don’t have other source of
income there is a big chance for them to fall into poverty. These families will have poor
nutritional intake because they will have limited income to buy food, pay bills, etc. They
will tend to buy cheaper food/ instant food that have less nutrition and as the time goes
by these individuals might develop diseases that could arise from eating unhealthy.

The percentage of the community people who are in within threshold is higher when
compared to those who are in below poverty level threshold. There are 245 or 64.14%
who are not within the threshold and has insufficient expenses.

iv. Analysis

The data shows that there are a lot of families who are not within the threshold and has
insufficient expenses. Tendency is you become dependent on the help that you receive
May it be goods or financially. Some people will also look down on you because you are
poor which will cause low self esteem. When you are poor, you tend to have a limited
network. Poor people tend to live around and mingle with other poor people. These
people cannot afford to help you very much since they are barely trying to make ends to
meet themselves. They also lack the skills and network to help overcome poverty.

v. Health Implication

Insufficient income may affect the health of every member of the family byt not meeting
the basic needs. For example, for malnutrition it is because of low income you tend to
buy cheap foods, junk foods, or instant foods. These foodshave low to none nutritional
value but are just taken as consumption to fight hunger.

h. Expenditure Prioritization

ii. Interpretation

The top 1 where people spend their money on is Foods. Followed by electricity bills,
fertilizers and agricultural, school fees and then the last on the list would be
Transportation.

iii. Analysis

The data shows that most people spend their money on food that could give nutrition to
their family. While the least thing that these people spend their money on is
Transportation. It was also showed in the charts above that most of the people living in
Barangay Jones are suffering from poverty from lack of education and not being able to
find a proper job, during these times they make and use their money to the most
important like food and electricity while spend less on transportation because there
would also be options like using the bicycle or walking to reach your destination.

iv. Health Implication

will reduce the risk of some disease, diabetes, stroke, some cancers and osteoporosis.
Proper nutrition also improve your overall well-being as a person and as an individual in
the society. It increases your energy level to be able to do farming or activities of daily

who keeps in in the surface of the table, others put it in the cabinet, basket, plastic
container and there were also some who does not store their food at all.
i. Analysis

With the proper food sanitation, these can reduce the risk of developing vector borne
diseases brought by flies and other insects that leech on food/soil food. Also when you
properly store your food you are protecting your food from the risk of contamination,
including bacteria, poisons, and foreign bodies. Preventing any bacteria present
multiplying to an extent which would result in the illness of consumers or the early
spoilage of the food. Destroying any harmful bacteria in the food by thorough cooking or
processing.

ii. Health Implication

These good particles prevent you from suffering food poisoning and allergic reacions,
help minimise food waste and boost efficiency. But above all, food sanitation makes
your food premises a pleasant, safe place to eat.

Most people in the community uses Point Source which 372 or 97.38% of the
households voted for. Some uses communal faucet or water coming from shallow well
which both have 1.31% or 5 families in total.

iv. Analysis

The data showed that most people in the community have access to water and
most of them are connected to a point source. This point source is free and they have
nothing to pay with it since they are getting their supply naturally without chemicals in
the rivers/streams near the barangay.

v. Health Implication

Since the majority of the people are connected to one point source they are
prone to pollutants from sewage treatment plants, oil refineries, paper and pulp mills,
chemical, automobile and electronic manufacturers. Some of these pollutants may be
harmful to the skin and cause irritation. In the worst case scenarios, if this water will be
consumed as drinking water the person who consumes it are prone to infections and
other diseases that can be brought by these pollutants.

iv. Analysis

Many people cover their waste because they are knowledgeable about the act
that they can acquire a lot of diseases from uncovered waste. Also, trash
containers/bins are available in the community so that the people can practice proper
waste management and avoid diseases such as leptospirosis.

v. Health Implication

Uncovered and waste can increase the presence of vectors by providing

breeding places for rats, flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches that can transmit several
diseases. Acquiring diseases like dysentery is one of the major effects if the community
failed to utilize the method.

iv. Analysis

42.93% of the population are using Water-Sealed Latrine because of unavailability of

water source. Almost half of the population are using this kind of disposal due to
poverty.

v. Health Implication

Using water sealed latrine can prevent the spreading of disease in barangay if properly
use. It is significant to note that there has been an increase in the proportion of
households having sanitary toilet facilities both in the urban and rural areas but there is
also an increase in the absolute number of persons which do not have an access to
sanitary toilet facilities in the sense that the mothers still allow their children to move
their bowel elsewhere despite of the presence of toilets in their own homes.

cockroaches will come out and will go to other holes and spaces like in the sink, found
in the kitchen. Flies are the least common vectors in the community because the Brgy.
Jones Iloilo.
v. Health Implication

These vectors, if not controlled, will spread different types of diseases like malaria,
dengue, cholera, dysentery and leptospirosis in the community that will give the
barangay a higher possibility of morbidity to those diseases. On the other hand, if this
will be controlled, the community can prevent the prevalence of these diseases that can
be acquired from those vectors.

iv. Analysis

Most of the people in brgy. Jones Iloilo uses insecticides to control cockroaches and
mosquitoes because it is affordable and available everywhere. Insecticide is used for a
longer period of time that enables them to save their money. Pamalo is mostly used to
control flies because it is readily available any time.They can have it without spending
money and also enables them to save money.
v. Health Implication

These ways can be used by ordinary people living in the community. Using different
interventions will help the community to eliminate the spread of diseases and therefore,
lower the risk of the barangay in acquiring diseases like malaria, dengue, dysentery,
cholera and leptospirosis. On the contrary, if they will not use any methods to control
these vectors, the people might have a higher risk in getting those diseases.

or 27.49%.Next is the animals that has vaccination but with leash and on cage with 60
or 15.71% and lastly is the animals with vaccine but loitering with 45 or 11.78%.

iv. Analysis

In Barangay Jones, Iloilo animals without vaccines and wandering around the
streets has high percentage because a lot of them are not aware how dangerous rabies
is especially those households with animals. According to the survey there were 27
percent of the population are not aware on rabies control. There was 45 percent of the
population who weren’t aware and not utilizing, letting their pets wandering around the
street. Furthermore even families without animals in their house have knowledge about
preventing and controlling rabies in their community. It only means that the community
has an effective utilization of the Rabies Control Program. As a basis under the
Republic Act 9482 An Act Providing for the Control and Elimination of Human and
Animal bites all pet owners shall be required to have their dog regularly vaccinated
against rabies and maintain a registration card which contain all vaccinations conducted
on their dog, for accurate record purposes. Rabies control is implemented once a year
not by the barangay but by the department of health.

v. Health Implication

Since in the Barangay Jones Iloilo the number of unvaccinated animals are greater than
the number of animals vaccinated. There is a greater possibility for the community to
acquired rabies from these animals. The number of not vaccinated and not kept animals
will keep increasing there would be a high risk for the community to get animal bites and
acquire rabies. If this scenario will continue there will be a significant increase in the
number of rabies cases and there would be a high demand for rabies vaccines.

percentage with 40.74%, followed by the children with complete vaccinations with
37.04%, then children who are fully immunized with 14.81% and no immunization being
the last with 7.41%.

iv. Analysis

Vaccination among infants are important and can aid the child to a better quality of
health as the child grows up. Vaccines are essential for protecting children against
infectious diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella and whooping cough. Many of
these diseases are largely forgotten in our country. Before vaccines became available,
however, these diseases exacted a huge toll

v. Health Implication

Children having incomplete immunizations are prone on having the childhood diseases
like TB, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and measles. If this will continue in the
future, there will be a high occurrence of morbidity and mortality among children.
On the other side, if this will change there will be an early prevention of
acquiring the childhood diseases. Fully immunized children are protected from
disease-causing agents. When they are protected they will be healthy and they can
perform well with their activities in school or in their homes.

Morbidity is a diseased condition or state; the incidence or prevalence of a

disease or of all disease in a population.The leading cause of morbidity in Brgy Jones is
Influenza with 2.92% .Followed by hypertension which is also common with 1.26%. Next
is stroke with 0.55% and asthma with 0.64% and the least common cause is
tuberculosis with 1% with least population at risk.

iv. Analysis

Flu (Influenza), the leading cause of morbidity in Brgy. Jones Iloilo, according to our
community survey. Flu (Influenza), a highly contagious and communicable disease, is in
the top spot on the morbidity list 1097 persons are at risk. Incidence rate of fever
contributes in the incidence rate of flu because this two goes hand in hand; they share
common signs and symptoms such as cough, headaches, muscle aches and sore
throat. Hypertension, the second leading cause of morbidity in Brgy. Jones Iloilo,
according to the survey. Though hypertension can develop anytime in an individual, in
most cases, it does not occur solely by chance. Some are more prone to develop high
blood pressure than others. In some cases, people with high blood pressure may have
a pounding feeling in their head or chest, a feeling of lightheadedness or dizziness, or
other signs. Without symptoms, people with high blood pressure may go years without
knowing they have the condition. Stroke is also a leading cause of morbidity in Brgy.
Jones Iloilo. Typically, the cause of stroke is a blockage of artery. Blockage of an artery
in the brain by a clot (thrombosis) is the most common cause of a stroke. Asthma is also
the leading cause of morbidity in Brgy. Jones Iloilo. Factors that contributes to Asthma
as a contender to be the in the top morbidity rates are: Allergens such as breeding sites,
and vectors (e.g. cockroaches and dustmites) for they are called carriers of pollens or
any irritating substance that may trigger asthma. Tuberculosis, is also the leading cause
of morbidity in Brgy. Jones Iloilo. TB, a communicable disease. The reason that they
have a TB is that they have an incomplete immunization that leads to incomplete
immunity, direct contact to person suffering from TB and people exposed to crowding
can easily transfer of disease from one person to another.

v. Health Implication

If flu remains in the top spot of the list, the prevalence of pneumonia and otitis media will
occur because they are the most common complications of flu. Otitis media can present
as earache or fluid coming out of your ears. Pneumonia can manifest as high-grade
fever, brassy cough, lack of appetite, drowsiness, difficulty in breathing, and increased
phlegm and mucus production. These are usually viral in origin but oftentimes,
secondary bacterial complications set in. When bacterial infection sets in, antibiotics are
warranted. Hypertension is a silent killer, if this remains on the second spot of the list
many complication will set in. Hypertension (HIGH blood pressure), if uncontrolled,
causes damage to various organs in the body resulting to other diseases. If stroke
remains on the top 5 list of morbidity many complications or diseases would likely occur.
Heart Failure cases would likely increase. Cases of problem in swallowing would
increase. Slurred speech patients and lung infection would occur. Stroke often results in
immobility; blood clots can develop in a leg vein (deep vein thrombosis). If asthma is not
prevented, or left untreated, Prevalence of feeling of tightness in your chest and
coughing and spitting out mucus or phlegm may occur. Feeling of restless or irritable
and have difficulty sleeping will be more evident. If Tuberculosis is not prevented, a
possible TB Outbreak in the Barangay would most likely occur. The best way to prevent
the spread of tuberculosis is to treat and care all patients with active pulmonary
tuberculosis. The vaccination for TB known as BCG may prevent children from
developing the most severe forms of TB. The barangay would also prioritize projects
and development plans in lessening tuberculosis or practice the DOH plans in
implementing appropriate measures in combating TB (Tuberculosis) – Tuberculosis
Control Program will drastically increase.

complications brought about by Diabetes Milletus with 33.33% respectively and the
incidence of vascular diseases follows with 28.57%. The least is Old age with 25%

iv. Analysis

Cancer is the top leading cause of mortality. There are a lot of people dying because of
cancer because there are unaware people that they might have already a cancer. There
are families who don't have sources of health care and some doesn't go to the health
center. There are people who are at risks for having cancer because of exposure to
second hand smoke and people are at risks for respiratory tract infections. There are
people who smokes and people are exposed to certain chemicals.

v. Health Implication

Smoking accounts for more than 85% of lung cancer deaths. Smokers are more likely to
develop lung cancer compared to non-smokers. Overall, smoking has been linked to
cancers of the mouth, larynx, pharynx, esophagus, pancreas and bladder. Intake Heavy
drinkers have an increased risk of cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, larynx and
liver. Diet plays an important role in the development of many cancers, particularly in
the digestive and reproductive organs. Exposure to substances such as chemicals,
metals or pesticides can increase the risk of cancer. Asbestos, nickel, cadmium,
uranium, radon, vinyl chloride and benzene are well-known cancer-causing agents
(carcinogens).

6. Political Leadership Pattern

6.1. Peace and Order.
There is no reported crime committed in the whole year round, although there are
ample incidences of malicious mischiefs, robbery committed. According to the
Barangay Officials there is no social conflict that they experienced in their barangay
because according to the Barangay Kagawads they always keep their barangay
peaceful and their goal is to fight crime, protect the people and serve the people in the

community the following are the perceived health problems:According to the kagawad
for health one of the perceived problems of the barangay is that there is no adequate
allocation for health care fund. They said that if there are some projects that they would
like to implement, they would get it from their own money. People also noticed the lack
