HEALTH RESOURCE AVAILED IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE PRESEN CE OF ILLNESS IN THE FAMILY
Conclusion Health
is one of the goals in our community immersion. During our survey, we described
the different factors that affected the existing health illness pattern of the community and its people; these factors included environmental factors, health resources, socio-economic and cultural factors. During our immersion, we conducted a survey at Barangay Lucao, Dagupan City, PangasinanPurok VI. In this Barangay, we observed that some houses do not have a good environmental management, in terms of proper disposal of garbage and appropriate drainage systems. Majority of the residents burned their garbage that may have caused the high incidence of Upper Respiratory Tract Infection in the barangay.The open drainage system, source of water from a dug well, and the storage of leftover foods in their cabinets may also have contributed to the high incidence of diarrhea. Some families do not recognize their health needs and problems, and the appropriate health actions to take. They have inadequate knowledge on the importance ofpersonal hygiene and sanitation which is essential in health maintenance. This may be brought about by lack of information on the subject or lack of formal education as evidenced by the high percentage of individuals in the community who had not finish high school and also was unemployed at the moment, and their only source of income depended on the products of their lands. Although most of the residents rely on their Barangay health center, the means of prevention and treatment of diseases may still be vague to them.In this survey, we identified that there is a presence of health threats and health deficits that should be inspected further.
Recommendation We suggest that the Barangay LucaoPurok VI will seek help and support to the CityHealth Office of Dagupan Cityin conducting Seminars about promotion of health through health awareness in order to prevent spread of diseases and assistance about their waste management. They must also ask for financial assistance in developing their Barangay Center for better delivery of health in their place.
