Study Notes

Sexual Health Misconceptions

Misconceptions about sexuality are common and persist despite advancements in knowledge and understanding.
Myth: A wife has a duty to engage in sexual activity whenever her husband requests it.
Fact: Healthy sexuality is fluid and can change over the course of a person's life, it is not a fixed state.
Myth: Effeminate men are gay.
Myth: Homosexuality, whether gay or lesbian, is an abnormality.
Fact: Sexual orientation is a natural aspect of human diversity.

Gonorrhea and Chlamydia

Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID).
PID is a significant cause of infertility due to scarring that can lead to tubal occlusion.
Tubal occlusion happens when the fallopian tubes become blocked, preventing the egg from reaching the uterus.

Tubal Patency Test

Hysterosalpingography is a test used to determine tubal patency.
This test involves injecting a radiopaque material into the uterus to visualize the fallopian tubes.

Preventing Baby Switching

Baby switching is a serious risk in healthcare settings, but it can be prevented through rigorous identification protocols.
Best Practices:
- Use name tags for proper identification of infants.
- Verify baby identity by checking footprints.

Holistic Health and Integrative Models

Integrative models of human health emphasize the interconnectedness of physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being.
These models aim to engage in correcting health behaviors and preventing or treating diseases.

Health Care System Influences on Community Health

Factors that influence health status:
- Availability of community resources and programs.
- The cost of healthcare.
- Community perception of the value of available healthcare.

Health Concepts Definitions

Health Problem: An actual health issue that affects individuals or communities.
Health Need: A requirement for healthcare services to address a specific health issue.
Health Threat: A condition or factor that increases the risk of disease or injury.
Health Deficit: A lack of resources or capabilities that hinders individuals from achieving their full health potential.

Public Health Bag Contents

Essential items:
- Hypodermic needles for medication administration.
- Flashlight for illumination in low-light situations.
- Ruler for measuring wound size or body temperature.
Solutions:
- Zephiran solution is an antiseptic.
- 40% alcohol is a disinfectant.
- Spirit of ammonia is used for treating fainting spells.
Scissors:
- Surgical scissors for sterile procedures.
- Bandage scissors for cutting wound dressings.

Rabies

Rabies is a neuro-invasive disease that affects the central nervous system.
The head, especially, is a major target for rabies infection due to the spread of the virus through nerves.
Preventing Rabies:
- Thoroughly clean the wound with soap and water.
- Seek immediate medical attention, including post-exposure prophylaxis.

Rabies Vaccination

Active Immunity: Vaccines provide active immunity
Types:
- Purified vero cell vaccine
- Purified duck embryo vaccine
Human rabies immunoglobulin and equine rabies immunoglobulin provide passive immunity - they act like antibodies immediately but only stay in the body for a temporary time.

Rabies Post-Exposure Prophylaxis

PHN Cords should administer post-exposure prophylactic treatment to anyone who has been in contact with the rabies-infected vendor.

FHSIS - Field Health Services and Information System

The FHSIS is a recording and reporting system for public health care in the Philippines.
Objectives:
- Providing a comprehensive picture of acute and chronic diseases.
- Ensuring accurate data recording, reporting, and dissemination.
- Minimizing recording and reporting burdens.
- Providing a standardized database for further in-depth studies.

FHSIS Process

The fundamental block of the FHSIS system is the Family Treatment Record.

Research Designs

Case-control study: Compares cases with a specific condition to control subjects without the condition.
Quantitative Research: Uses numerical data to test hypotheses and draw conclusions.
Qualitative Research: Explores subjective experiences and perspectives.
Mixed Methods Research: Combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches.

Research Interpretation

Odds Ratio: A measure of association between an exposure (e.g., physical activity) and an outcome (e.g., ACS). An odds ratio less than 1 indicates a lower risk of the outcome among the exposed group.

Nursing Research

The easiest way to encourage nurses to engage in research is to involve them in data gathering and analysis.
