CHAPTER 4 Flashcards
This refers to the collection of data in the community which serve as a guide in determining the actual and potential health problems.
Community Assessment
It is a quantitative and qualitative description of the health of citizens and the factors which influence their health. It identifies problems, proposes areas for improvement and stimulates action.
Community Diagnosis
This is an official count or survey of a population, typically recording various details of individuals.
Census
These are the formal and informal community leaders or persons of position and influence, such as leaders in local government schools and businesses.
Key Informants
It refers to a process by which community members gain an understanding of the health, concerns, and health care systems of the community by identifying, collecting, analyzing, disseminating information on community assets, strengths, resources, and needs
Community Assessment
Primarily, it involves the collection of data which is mainly dependent on the objectives of the assessment
Community Assessment
In general, who desires to collect data on the three categories of the community health determinants such as people, place and social system.
community health nurse
In Collecting Primary Data, what are the tools that are commonly used for the conduct of community assessment.
- Observation
- Survey
- Informant Review
- Community Forus
- Focus Group
This may be done through an ocular or windshield survey, either by driving or riding a vehicle or walking through it.
Observation
This gives the community health nurse the opportunity to observe the people as well as to take note of the environmental conditions and existing facilities.
Observation
This may be necessary when there is no available when there is no available information about the community or specific population group to be studied.
Survey
According to Mauret & Smith (2009), it is made up of a series of questions for systematic collection of information from a sample of individuals or families in a community which may be written or oral.
Survey
It is appropriate for determining attitudes, knowledge, behaviors and perception of health and health services. Likewise, it is also used by the nurse in identifying patterns of utilization of health services
Survey
This denotes to a purposeful talks with either key informants or ordinary members of the community.
Informant Review
The interview may be structured where the nurse will direct the talk based on an interview guide, or it may be unstructured where the informant guides the talk.
It provides the nurse valuable information on community perceptions about the health and health care.
Informant Review
The interview may be structured where the nurse will direct the talk based on an interview guide, or it may be unstructured where the informant guides the talk.
This refers to an open meeting of members of the community
Community Forum
It does not only give the nurse information on community perceptions on needs, health and health care, but it also an effective tool in providing the people with medium for expressing their views and developing their capacity to influence decision makers.
Community Forum
It may be used as a venue for informing people about secondary data, for data validation and for getting feedback from the community people themselves about the gathered data previously.
Community Forum
This method is effective in the assessment of health needs of a specific groups in the community
Focus Group
A good example is a focus group of teenage mothers.
These are of the particular importance to the community health nurse, since they are sources of fertility and mortality data.
The birth and death registries
What R.A was enacted in 1930, established the civil registry in the Philippines that requires the registration of vital events like births, marriages and deaths.
R. A. 3753
otherwise known as the Civil Registration Law
what R.A assigned the function of civil registration to local governments and mandated the appointment of Local (municipal/city) Civil Registrars.
R.A. 7160
known as the Local Government
What Executive Order No. specifies that the Field Health Service Information System (FHSIS) as the official recording and reporting system of the Department of Health and used by the NSCB to generate health statistics.
Executive Order No. 352
Office of the President, Republic of the Philippines
It is a tool in monitoring health status of the population at the different levels. Thus, it serves as basis for priority setting by local governments, planning and decision making at barangay, municipality, district, provincial as well as national levels.
Field Health Service Information System (FHSIS)
It is used for monitoring and evaluating health program implementation. Detection of unusual occurrence of diseases is being facilitated. And it also provides a standardized, facility-level database for more in-depth studies
Field Health Service Information System (FHSIS)
It refers a listing of persons with specific type of disease in a defined population
Disease registry
The data or information that are collected through disease registries serve as basis for monitoring, decision making and management of program (DOH,2011)
It refers to the periodic governmental enumeration of the population.
census
What provides for a national census of the population and other related data in the Philippines for every 10 years.
The Batas Pambansa Blg. 72
It provides statistical information and services to the public.
The Philippine Statistical System (PSS)
It is the policy-making and coordination body of the PSS, where the NSO, now the PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority), is the PSS arm that generates general purpose statistics such as population, employment, prices, and family income/expenditures
National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB)
It is the process of determining the health status of the community and the factors responsible for it.
Community diagnosis
The term is applied both to the process of determination and to its findings.
It is the quantitative and qualitative description of the health of citizens and the factors that influence their health.
Community diagnosis
Community Diagnosis allows identification of problems and areas of improvement, thereby stimulating action.
Depending on the context and the purpose of the presentation, community data may be presented what:
- as text
- in tables
- in pictorial for (maps and graphs).
It can be used to show differences or similarities across geographic areas
Maps
In divergence, numeric data are usually more clearly presented through tables and graphs or charts.
Graphs for presenting community data:
- Bar Graph
- Line Graph
- Pie Chart
- Scatter plot or diagram
Type of graph:
This is used to compare values across different categories of data.
For example, a population pyramid is made up to two horizontal bar graphs representing the age structure of the male and female population.
Bar Graph
Type of graph:
This is utilize to have a visual image of trends in data over time or age.
For example, the trend of the total fertility rate or average number of children per woman in the Philippines from 2000-2020.
Line Graph
Type of graph:
This is commonly use in showing percentage distribution or composition of a variable, such as population or households.
Pie Chart
Type of graph:
It is an effective tool in highlighting the value of a group in relation to the whole population. However, it can only illustrate only a small number of categories, usually not more than six.
For example, it may be used to visually present the percentage distribution of households based on environmental variables, such as water source method of refuse, and excreta disposal.
Pie Chart
Type of graph:
This is made to show the correlation between two variables. The values of both variables in subjects are plotted in a graph with an x-axis and a y-axis.
For example, it may be done to show a positive correlation between body mass index and waist circumference among women aged 20 years and above.
Scatter plot or diagram
Types of Community Diagnosis:
- Traditional Research
- Participatory Action Research (PAR)
Type of Community Diagnosis:
A method of research that follows a systematic or scientific procedure in which a question is asked and a hypothesis is proposed in which it is either proved or disproved.
Traditional Research
