- This compensation aligns with the mandatory minimum entry-level pay established under Republic Act 9173, the Philippine Nursing Act of 2002.
Community and Health Determinants
- Communities are defined by geographic boundaries, shared interests, and social systems, influencing health outcomes.
- Four priority areas identified for creating healthy communities focus on root causes of health issues: Healthy Housing, Healthy Neighborhoods, Healthy Schools, and a Healthy Economy.
Rural vs. Urban Communities
- Differences between rural and urban communities include variations in physical environment, population size, density, economy, and availability of health resources.
- High population density, as seen in Metro Manila (approx. 12 million, larger urban area at 21.3 million), increases vulnerability to communicable diseases.
Individual Behavior and Community Health
- Community health is heavily influenced by individual behaviors and habits, highlighting the importance of teamwork in health promotion.
- Examples of community health activities include proper waste disposal, water sanitation, and addressing cigarette smoking and self-medication practices.
Nurse Roles in Health Promotion
- Nurses play critical roles in health promotion through disease prevention initiatives, health education, and community training programs.
- Activities include organizing pre-marital counseling, training for community health workers, and promoting health through multi-media channels.
Levels of Health Prevention
- Health prevention is categorized into three levels:
- Primary: Health promotion and specific protection to prevent disease.
- Secondary: Early detection and prompt intervention.
- Tertiary: Management of established diseases to prevent further complications.
Disease Surveillance and Monitoring
- Health indicators are calculated using various data sources, such as census data and disease notifications.
- Active surveillance is crucial for accurate disease data, enabling timely interventions, while passive surveillance often underestimates disease prevalence.
Health Records and Immunization
- The Field Health Service Information System (FHSIS) is the official health recording system in the Philippines, generating vital health statistics.
- Maintaining accurate immunization records is essential for travel, school enrollments, and ensuring public health safety.
Common Diseases in the Philippines
- Major health concerns include heart disease, respiratory infections, diabetes, and illnesses linked to high meat consumption.
- In 2020, over 700,000 Filipinos contracted acute respiratory infections, with hypertension affecting over 400,000 individuals.
Morbidity and Mortality Trends
- Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death among Filipino men and the second leading cause for women.
- Cancer, characterized by malignant growth from abnormal cell division, continues to pose significant health risks, particularly for Filipinos.
Pneumonia Impact
- Pneumonia, an infection affecting the lungs, is responsible for approximately 57,089 annual deaths in the Philippines.
- Individuals with compromised immune systems, including the elderly and diabetics, are at higher risk for pneumonia.
Health Promotion Challenges
- Common health promotion challenges in the Philippines include addressing lifestyle choices such as smoking, diet, and stress management to reduce morbidity rates.
