I. INTRODUCTION
A community diagnosis is a comprehensive assessment of health status of the community in
relation to its social, physical and biological environment. The purpose of community diagnosis is to define
existing problems, determine available resources and set priorities for planning, implementing and
evaluating health action, by and for the community.
It generally refers to the identification and quantification of health problems in a community as a
whole in terms of mortality and morbidity rates and ratios, and identification of their correlates for the
purpose of defining those at risk or those in need of health care. “A means of examining aggregate and
social statistics in addition to the knowledge of the local situation, in order to determine the health needs
of the community”.
A community is a cluster of people with at least one common characteristic (geographic location,
occupation, ethnicity, housing condition, etc.). A group of people with a common characteristic or interest
living together within a larger society comprises a community.
Society is faced with different problems. Most of them in society do not actually know the causes of
ill health and death amongst them. They badly desire to be free from these problems but do not know how
to go about it. They will appreciate anyone who will come into the community and put a stop to all their
problems. When health care professionals start making investigations about these problems, they are glad
to be of help to the healthcare team.

Why Community Diagnosis is important?

• It helps to find the common problems or diseases, which are troublesome to the people and
are easily preventable in the community.
• It can be a pioneering step for the betterment of rural community health.
• It is a tool to disclose the hidden problems that are not visible to the community people but
are being affected by them.
• It helps to access the group of underprivileged people who are unable to use the available
facilities due to poverty, prevailing discrimination, or other reasons.
• It helps to find the real problems of the community people which might not have been
perceived by them as problems.
• It helps to impart knowledge and attitudes to turn over people’s problems towards the light
of solution.

When planning or implementing programs at a community level effectively, the community/public

health nurse must understand how the community works, how it is organized, who its key leaders are, how
the community has approached similar problems, and how other programs have been introduced in the
past. The health care professional who is facilitating the community organization process with regard to a
specific health need or problem must work with the community members. To be an effective change agent
in applying the nursing process, the nurse must be aware not only of the community and how it works, but
also of methods of community organization that facilitate change.
Florence Nightingale and Lillian Wald pioneered health planning based on an assessment of the
health needs of the communities they served. Additionally, nurses have long been involved in
implementing programs planned by other disciplines. Both the American Nurses Association (ANA) (2007)
 ILOILO DOCTORS’ COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF NURSING
West Avenue, Molo, Iloilo City

and the American Public Health Association (APHA) (1996) state that the primary responsibility of
community/public

health nurses is to the community or population as a whole and that nurses must acknowledge the need
for comprehensive health planning to implement this responsibility. Both professional organizations
identify program planning as a primary function of the community/public health nurse.

In addition, nurses should be involved in program planning for several reasons. U.S. Nurses, for
example, make up more than one-third of all healthcare workers and implement the majority of healthcare
programs. Our involvement in numerous and diverse health programs has given us experience in seeing
what works and what does not. This experience helps identify difficulties that can be avoided in the future.
Nurses spend a greater amount of time in direct contact with their clients than any other health
care professionals. We are with the clients in the community, gaining first-hand information about their
health, their lifestyles, their needs, and what it is like to be a member of that community. This exposure to
the community places us in the unique position of possessing valuable information that is useful to the
planning and implementation of successful health programs.
This case presentation is all about Barangay Maniwangtiwang, one of the barangays in the
Municipality of Masinadyahon. It is located 10 kilometers from the town proper. The place is mostly rice
fields and most of the residents depend on their source of income, farming. They have a small plaza, a
small chapel, a basketball court, and a barangay health station that is manned by a midwife. Some of the
residents would get their drink water from a communal artesian well and other chooses to buy purified
drinking water from the town proper. The place has no drainage system as observed because they throw
their water waste anywhere. Some of the houses are built using light materials and the risk of fire is high.
Some of the residents are engaged in vices such as "tong its" and some on drinking liquor alcohol. Children
were seen playing without wearing slippers. Some of the residents still consult to a local albularyo, a
Filipino term for a witch doctor, folk healer or medicine men. They practice folk medicine and use
medicinal plants in their trade. During the survey of student nurses assigned in that area, they gathered
certain information or data and we are tasked to present using this presentation. Brgy. Maniwangtiwang
has a total population of 527 and total number of households was 116. Further data will be shown later on.

This case presentation has five parts; Introduction, Objectives (a. General Objective, b. Specific
Objective), Community Health profile (a. Demography, b. Socio-Economic, c. Home and Environment, d.
Health Situation, e. Maternal and Child Health; 1. Nutritional Status, 2. Family planning, 3. Immunization
Status), Key Health Problems and our Recommendations.

As we go through each topic later on, we foresee that this community diagnosis is really a process
that it requires participation from the three main actors: community, technical and professional resources
—people who are directly related to the population on a daily basis and who manage services, programs,
and benefits (educational, social, sanitation, economic, etc.); and citizens, involving social organizations
(associations and formal or informal groups) and other actors who are active participants in the whole
process, through their daily active participation in public life

V. RECOMMENDATIONS
Demography
In sex distribution, there is no problem between the male-female ratio. Ages 15-45 years are
included in the age bracket of 30-40 where productivity is at its peak level. The best way to
establish family planning to control population growth. The recommendations are; Coordinate
employment, food rationing, salaries, bonuses, health treatment, age and condition of retirement,
preschool care and education with family planning programs, maintain the elderly's living standard,
and give preference to childless and single child families; Educate people about family planning and
incorporate population growth and family planning into political and economics courses in high
school and college; Establish a permanent population committee to plan, develop. Encourage the
community build schools with the assistance from the government to increase literacy rate of the
population. In family structure, it is favorable to have a nuclear family as long as the parents are
able sustain the basic needs of their children. Include the mother as well as the female members of

social distance (at least 6 feet) from others at all times. The best way to protect yourself and others is to
stay home for 14 days if you think you’ve been exposed to someone who has COVID-19. Check your local
health department’s website for information about options in your area to possibly shorten this quarantine
period. Self-monitor for symptoms, check temperature twice a day and watch for fever, cough, or
shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19.
Maternal and Child Health
The recommendations are: Encourage each family of the community to POPCOM that help couples /
parents exercise responsible parenting to achieve their desired number, timing and spacing of their
children, and to contribute in improving the maternal, neonatal and child health, and nutrition (MNCHN).
For pregnant parents, the maternal care program in the Philippines recommends that every pregnant
woman have four care visits during pregnancy. The system of giving information about the service of the
health Center can affect the pregnant women to utilize the benefits of the health center like the prenatal
check-up. The barangay health workers, midwife, and nurses should do the house-to-house visits. These
visits are helpful not only for the check-up but to understand what we are allowed or not allowed to eat as
well as the importance of getting vaccination for tetanus. This is beneficial not just for the mother but also
for the baby. The community needs to request of help of the IEC materials – leaflets, flipcharts given by
WHO and DOH it could able to help the pregnant women have better knowledge about their pregnancy.
