Study Notes

Birth Registration

Birth records are maintained at the Local Civil Registry Office
Records must be submitted within 30 days of birth
Records contain date, name, address, presenting symptoms, diagnosis, treatments, and dates of treatments

Death Registration

A death is defined as the permanent disappearance of life after live birth
Death certificates are required before burial
Presidential Decree 856, Sanitation Code, requires death certificates

ITR (Individual Treatment Record)

ITRs are maintained at health facilities
ITRs contain information about patient consultations
Health workers should not rely on client-maintained records like home-based mothers' records

Target/Client Lists (TCLs)

TCLs are the second building block of the Family Health Service Information System (FHSIS)
TCLs are maintained in Rural Health Units (RHUs) and health centers

Census Data

The census population includes Filipino nationals residing in and outside of the Philippines
Census data can be utilized for needs assessment by nurses
Census data is available at the National Statistics Office (NSO)

Data Presentation Methods

Pie Chart

Used to show percentage distribution or composition

Scatter Plot or Diagram

Used to show correlation between two variables

Line Graph

Used to visualize trends in data over time or age

Bar Graph

Used to compare values across different categories of data

Purposes of Data Presentation

To inform health teams and members about the community's health status
To increase community members' understanding of health information's importance
To solicit broader support for health initiatives
To validate findings of community assessments

Community Diagnosis

It is the process of determining a community's health status
Crucial for developing the community health nursing process
Consists of two main parts:
- Identifying factors influencing population health, both directly and indirectly
- Analyzing and seeking explanations for the occurrence of health needs and problems within the community

Determining Data to be Collected

This is achieved by creating a data collection plan with objectives to guide data collectors
Data can be divided into primary and secondary categories
Data collection plan should consider:
- Occupation common in the community
- Communication networks for disseminating health information and facilitating referrals
- Transportation systems for accessibility to health care
- Environmental indicators

Data Collection Techniques

Observation Checklist: Lists data that are manifestations of health needs or problems
Interviews: Experts or people concerned with the subject matter can be interviewed
Participatory Tools and Techniques:
- Simple visual aids: Diagrams, charts, and other schematic devices to present information in a clear way, encouraging participation and communication among diverse stakeholders
- Analytical procedures: Workshops and meetings bring people together to review, analyze, and evaluate the information gathered
Exhaustive Category: Anticipates all possible answers a respondent may give, ensuring comprehensive data. An example includes different types of infant feeding practices.
Summarizing Data from Fixed Responses: Categorizing responses based on themes like financial concerns or side effects.
Summarizing the Data: After categorizing responses, data is summarized manually (tallying) or using computers. Tallying involves entering responses into prepared tally sheets.

Data Analysis

Classifying Data: Sorted and classified in terms of relatedness and interpreted for significance or implication
Magnitude of the Condition/Problem: Measured in terms of the proportion of the population affected
Modifiability of the Problem: The probability of reducing, controlling, or eradicating the problem
Preventive Potentials: The probability of controlling or reducing the problem's effects
Social Concern: The population's or community's perception of the problem's impact
Problem Tree Analysis Approach: A participatory approach that uses an analogy of a tree to analyze conditions affecting the community. Issues are represented as leaves and branches, connected to root causes.
Problem tree analysis helps identify root causes and provides a framework for developing interventions.
