Principles of Community Health:
1. The community is the patient in CHN, the family is the unit of care and there are four levels of clientele: individual, family, population group (those who share common characteristics, developmental stages and common exposure to health problems – e.g. children, elderly), and the community.
2. In CHN, the client is considered as an ACTIVE partner NOT PASSIVE recipient of care
3. CHN practice is affected by developments in health technology, in particular, changes in society, in general
4. The goal of CHN is achieved through multi-sectoral efforts
5. CHN is a part of health care system and the larger human services system.

1.b Community
COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT:
Status
Structure
Process
TYPES OF COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT:
1. COMMUNITY DIAGNOSIS
A process by which the nurse collects data about the community in order to identify factors which may influence the deaths and illnesses of the population, to formulate a community health nursing diagnosis and develop and implement community health nursing interventions and strategies.
2 Types:
Comprehensive Community Diagnosis Problem-Oriented Community Diagnosis
- aims to obtain general information about the community
- type of assessment responds to a particular need
STEPS:
Preparatory Phase
1. site selection
2. preparation of the community
3. statement of the objectives
4. determine the data to be collected
5. identify methods and instruments for data collection
6. finalize sampling design and methods
7. make a timetable
Implementation Phase
1. data collection
2. data organization/collation
3. data presentation
4. data analysis
5. identification of health problems
6. priority zation of health problems
7. development of a health plan
8. validation and feedback
Evaluation Phase
BIOSTATISTICS
2.1 DEMOGRAPHY - study of population size, composition and spatial distribution as affected by births, deaths and migration.
Sources : Census – complete enumeration of the population
2 Ways of Assigning People:
1. De Jure – People were assigned to the place where assigned to the place they usually live regardless of where they are at the time of census.
2.De Facto – People were assigned to the place where they are physically present at are at the time of census regardless, of their usual place of residence.
Components:
1. Population size
2. Population composition
* Age Distribution
* Sex Ratio
* Population Pyramid
* Median age – age below which 50% of the population fall and above
which 50% of the population fall. The lower the median
age, the younger the population (high fertility, high death rates).
* Age – Dependency Ratio – used as an index of age-induced economic drain on human resources
* Other characteristics:
- occupational groups
- economic groups
- educational attainment
- ethnic group
3. Population Distribution
* Urban-Rural – shows the proportion of people living in urban compared to the rural areas
* Crowding Index – indicates the ease by which a communicable disease can be transmitted from 1 host to another susceptible host.
* Population Density – determines congestion of the place
VITAL STATISTICS
the application of statistical measures to vital events (births, deaths and common illnesses) that is utilized to gauge the levels of health, illness and health services of a community.
TYPES:
Fertility Rate
1. A. CRUDE BIRTH RATE
total # of livebirths in a given calendar year X 1000
estimated population as of July 1 of the same given year
1. B. GENERAL FERTILITY RATE
total # of livebirths in a given calendar year X 1000
Total number of reproductive age
Mortality Rate
A. CRUDE DEATH RATE
Total # of death in a given calendar year X 1000
Estimated population as of July 1 of the same calendar year
B. INFANT MORTALITY RATE
Total # of death below 1 yr in a given calendar year X 1000
Estimated population as of July 1 of the same calendar year
C. MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE
Total # of death among all maternal cases in a given calendar year X 1000
Estimated population as of July 1 of the same calendar year
Morbidity Rate
A. PREVALENCE RATE
Total # of new & old cases in a given calendar year X 100
Estimated population as of July 1 of the same calendar year
B. INCIDENCE RATE
Total # of new cases in a given calendar year X 100
Estimated population as of July 1 of the same calendar year
C. ATTACK RATE
Total # of person who are exposed to the disease X 100
Estimated population as of July 1 of the same calendar year
III – Epidemiology
The study of distribution of disease or physiologic condition among human population s and the factors affecting such distribution
the study of the occurrence and distribution of health conditions such as disease, death, deformities or disabilities on human populations
1. a. Patterns of disease occurrence
Epidemic
- a situation when there is a high incidence of new cases of a specific disease in excess of the expected.
- when the proportion of the susceptibles are high compared to the proportion of the immunes
Epidemic potential
- an area becomes vulnerable to a disease upsurge due to causal factors such as climatic changes, ecologic changes, or socio-economic changes
Endemic
- habitual presence of a disease in a given geographic location accounting for the low number of both immunes and susceptibles
e.g. Malaria is a disease endemic at Palawan.
- the causative factor of the disease is constantly available or present to the area.
Sporadic
- disease occurs every now and then affecting only a small number of people relative to the total population
- intermittent
Pandemic
- global occurrence of a disease
Steps in EPIDEMIOLOGICAL IVESTIGATION:
1. Establish fact of presence of epidemic
2. Establish time and space relationship of the disease
3. Relate to characteristics of the group in the community
4. Correlate all data obtained
1. b. Role of the Nurse

Infectious Agent or its toxic products – AGENTDirectly or Indirectly – MODE OF TRANSMISSIONPerson, Animal or Intermediate Vector – HOSTEnvironment – ENVIRONMENTECOLOGIC TRIAD OF DISEASEAgent – element, substance, animate or inanimate that may serve as stimulus to initiate a disease processHost – organism that provides nourishment for another organismEnvironment – physical (climate), biological (plants & animals)CONTAGIOUS VS. INFECTIOUSContagiousDiseases that are easily spread directly transmitted from person to person (direct contact) through an intermediary hostInfectiousDiseases that caused by a pathogen not transmitted by ordinary contact but require a direct inoculation through a break in the skin or mucous membrane.NOTE: ALL CONTAGIOUS DISEASE ARE INFECTIOUS BUT INFECTIOUS DISEASE IS NOT ALWAYS CONTAGIOUS
What is Infection?INFECTION – “the state or condition in which the body or part of the body is invaded by a pathogenic agent ( bacteria, virus, parasites etc.) which under favorable conditions multiplies and produces effects which are injurious…”
Infectious AgentA. RESIDENT ORGANISMSdeeply seated in the epidermis, not easily removed by simple handwashing,Ex: Staphylococci
B. TRANSIENT ORGANISMrepresent recent contamination,survive for a limited period of time, acquired during contact with the infected colonized patient or environment,easily removed by good handwashing
FACTORS THAT AFFECTS THE AGENT TO DEVELOP A DISEASEPathogenicity – ability to cause a diseaseInfective dose – no of organism to initiate infectionVirulence – ability to enter or move through tissuesSpecificity – ability of the organism to develop antigens
STAGES OF INFECTIOUS PROCESSMeans of Transmission1. CONTACT – most common means of transmitting microorganisms from one person to another.A. Direct Contact (person to person)occurs when one person touches anotherbest vehicle is the Hands especially those of the Health Care workersB. Indirect Contact (inanimate object)- occurs when a person touches an inanimate object contaminated by an infected patient2. AIRBORNE- droplet, dust, organisms in env.3. VECTOR – insects or animals4. VEHICLE- food (salmonella), water (shigellosis), blood (Hepa B), medication ( contaminated infusion)
PREVENTION OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASEHealth Education – primary role of the nurse
Specific Protection- handwashing, use of protective devicesEnvironmental Sanitation – clean and conducive for health
Definition of Prevention“Actions aimed at eradicating, eliminating, or minimizing the impact of disease and disability. The concept of prevention is best defined in the context of levels, traditionally called primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention”
Prevention of Needlestick InjuriesDispose Used Needles in Puncture Proof Needle ContainersDon’t Recap Needles (Unless using the One-handed Technique)Use Gloves When Handling Needles (Won’t Prevent Injuries but May Lessen Chance of Transmitting Diseases)
CONTROL OF C0MMUNICABLE DIESEASE1. Notification2. Epidemiological Investigation3. Case finding; early dx and prompt treatment4. Isolation and Quarantine5. Disinfection; disinfestation6. Medical Asepsisa. Handwashingb. Concurrent disinfectionc. Personal protective equipments (PPEs)d. Barrier Cards/Placarding
Objectives of CCDRestoration of health, reduce deaths and disabilityInterpretation of control measures to IFC for practice to prevent spread of CD.Promotion of health and prevention of spread of CD
Diseases that require weekly monitoring:1. Acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) polio2. Measles3. Severe acute diarrhea (SAD)4. Neonatal tetanus5. AIDS
EpidemiologyStudy of the occurrence and distribution of diseases in the population
Patterns of occurrence of disease –frequency of disease occurrenceSporadicOn and off occurrence of the diseaseMost of the time it is not found in the communityOne or two cases that occur are not relatedEndemicPersistently present in the community all year roundEx: malaria in PalawanEpidemicAn unexpected increase in the number of cases of diseasePandemicEpidemic of a worldwide proportionsTime Related Patterns of Occurrencecyclical variationa periodic increase in the number of cases of a diseasea seasonal disease, an increase is expected or there is usual increase- dengue fever during rainy seasons are increased but it is not considered an epidemic because it is expected to rise at this particular timehot spot-a rising increase that may lead to an epidemic
Time Related Patterns of OccurrenceShort time fluctuationA change in the frequency of occurrence of a disease over a short period of timeMaybe (+) or (-)Secular variationA change in the frequency of occurrence of a diseae taking place over a long period of timeEx: a.) the change in the pattern of occurrence of polio after being eradicated in 2000, then sudden repport of cases in 2001 due to mutant restraints.b.) small pox virus-eradicated in 1979 (last case reported) and no another incidence as of todayTypes of EpidemiologyDescriptive Epidemiology – concerned with disease frequency & distributionAnalytic EpidemiologyIs a study of the factors affecting occurrence and distribution of the disease.Ex. Epidemiologic investigationTherapeutic/ClinicalStudy of the efficacy of a treatment of a particular diseaseEx. Clinical trial of a newly proposed therapeutic regimenEvaluation EpidemiologyStudy of the over-all effectiveness of a total/ comprehensive public health program.Ex. Evaluation of the under five clinic
Note: We make use of the epidemiology in CHN in order to come up a community diagnosis and also to determine the effectiveness of a particular treatmentTypes of Epidemiologic Data
Demographic dataDemography is the study of population groupsEx. Population size and distributionVital StatisticsEnvironmental dataHealth services dataEx. Ratio between nurse and the population being servedEx. Degree of utilization of health facility/ serviceEpidemiologic Investigation
1st step- Statement of the problem2nd step- Appraisal of facts – describing the epidemic in terms of time, place, person.3rd step- formulation of hypothesis4th step-Testing the hypothesis5th step- Conclusion and recommendation
TERMSDisinfection – pathogens but not spores are destroyed
Disinfectant – substance use on inanimate objects
Concurrent disinfection – ongoing practices in the care of the patient to limit or control the spread of microorganisms.
Terminal disinfection – practices to remove pathogens from the patient’s environment after his illness is no longer communicable
FACTORS AFFECTING ISOLATIONMode of TransmissionSourceStatus of the client’s defense mechanismAbility of client to implement precautionsISOLATIONEPILaunched by DOH in cooperation with WHO and UNICEF last July 1976Objective – reduce morbidity and mortality among infants and children caused by the six childhood immunizable diseasesPD No. 996 (Sept. 16, 1076) – “ Providing for compulsary basic immunization for infants and children below 8 y/oPP No. 6 (April 3, 1996) – “ Implementing a United Nations goal on Universal Child Immunization by 1990”RA 7846 (Dec. 30, 1994) – immunization hepa BPD No. 4 (July 29, 1998) – “Declaring the period of September 16 to October 14, 1998 as Ligtas Tigdas Month and launching the Phil Measles Elimination Campaign”
