Interpretation, Analysis and Implication

From a range of 1-10 individuals living together in one household, data shows that there is

an average of 5-6 members living together under the same roof.

This gives a significant implication as to how high the risk of contamination could be, given

that within each of these homes resides a person/persons with highly transmissible diseases.

Residents of Zone Ubi living under these conditions are at a critical position; as with increased

contact with one another in close proximity especially when a member is a probable susceptible

host, reservoir, or carrier of an illness; may pave the way to an unfortunate phenomenon—the

thriving of the chain of infection.

Out of the surveyed population, the greatest numbers of residents in Zone Ubi are those

from the 22-30 individuals of the female group, followed by the same age group but of the male

group.

It can be seen from the data established that based on the average age group which is the

young adult population, activities such as health education, health promotion, and sexual and

reproductive health are, generally, the aspects that should be given keen interest in.

Dependent age group are the people ages 6 years old and below, and 65 years and above.

Only a minority of the surveyed population belongs to the dependent age group. It indicates that

only a small number of the surveyed population are to be taken cared in order to attain there goals.

A greater number of Zone Ubi residents are married which comprises up to 74%, while

18% are single, 3% are widowed and 5% are staying as live-in partners.

Decision Making varies with persons from different marital status. Persons who are single

make decisions independently, trusting their own selves. They usually make the decision by

themselves, or they approach their selected support systems pertaining to how they could handle

these concerns. Married persons tend to be more dependent about making decisions; couples who

come across problems on health readily seek advice from each other as to how they could work

against the occurrence of illness and disease. They can help guide one another in seeking health

care and also in health management.

Interpretation, Analysis and Implication

11

Data reveals that 12% of the Zone Ubi residents are college graduates, also 18% are high

school graduates and 20% are elementary graduates. Whereas 14% of these residents reached

college level, 14% were educated until the high school level and 21% for elementary level. Only 1%

has no educational attainment.

Aside from religion, educational attainment is another important factor that can readily and

gravely influence the effectiveness of the community health nurses’ teachings. The level of

educational attainment affects the receptiveness of our clients towards health education. Some

nurses may find it difficult to communicate with individuals who have no educational background

whatsoever and may find it difficult to find the middle ground when giving health teachings. This

may also be detrimental especially in teaching about the nature of the occurrences of varied

diseases and disorders. Therefore it is critical that our approach in advocating health teachings

should be careful, simple, and specific. Individuals who are college graduates, high school

graduates or those who have college levels/high school levels as their highest educational

attainment, may be less difficult to communicate with in matters of health education in that they

may have a wider and broader scope of understanding and comprehension. These statistics,

however, do not adamantly pinpoint who will turn out to be more health conscious or less health

conscious; rather, it simply underscores the distinctions as to how receptiveness to health

teachings among the Zone Ubi residents may vary.

Among the surveyed population, majority of the family bread winner is the father followed

by the mother. Only 10% of the population has both the father and mother earning for the family.

15

Most of the families earn an average of P1000-5,000/month. Majority of the population

claimed that their income is enough for their daily expenses. While 30% of the population, says it is

not enough due to the number of members in the family and expenses for food and medicine.

The father being the post of the family usually ends up being the breadwinner, supporting

his family in any way he can. Although in some cases other members of the family give their share

in the expenses of the family, it’s the fathers basic responsibility to provide for his family, this being

he reason that the father goes out to work while the other usually stays home to tend to the family.

An income of less that 16,000 per month means that that certain family/individual belong

below the poverty line, in this case majority of the population believe that their income is enough to

support their family, this generally shows the Filipino saying “bahalag saging basta labing-labing”

meaning that Filipinos try to be content with whatever they have in their life.

Most of the families in Zone Ubi stated that they don’t have enough budget for health. They

said that sickness could affect the budget of the family. Furthermore, it post a big threat in the

family’s health especially regarding nutrition.

midwife. Mothers believe in the value of prenatal care stating that they don’t take their pregnancies

for granted. Some mothers also partake in the services of the health center for the purpose of the

free tetanus shots for the mother, since the shot wouldn’t b given if they don’t have their prenatal in

the center.

Home delivery for the mothers in Zone Ubi for them is considered economical and

comfortable. Some mothers are quite traditional and believe in the value of privacy and home

deliveries signifying a closer bonding with kids. There are also quite a great number of mothers who

give birth in the hospital, probably due to the availability of package deals which sometimes cost

cheaper than the usual. With this, delivery can give a great threat to newborns especially a big risk

for infection.

individuals to assist during the delivery probably because the fee is lesser and that they know what

to do. A great number of mothers prefer physicians because of the trust and experience of the

the availability of the facilities during delivery. Few of the population forgot who assisted the

delivery.

women gave birth at an early age (adolescent). This data is useful to organize health education

regarding reproductive health especially on adolescents, such as what age should a woman bear a

child to avoid complications and postnatal abnormal development.

community. An open drainage could bring about health related problems since it could serve as a

breeding ground for insects which can be vectors for certain diseases. In addition, it can easily

overflow and may even flood the community during the rainy season. A closed drainage system

can lessen if not avoid the above circumstances, and fosters effective health promotion with

regards to environment control and maintenance.

An equal number of the residents use both public and private water sources.

artesian well, 8% use both the piped system and artesian well, 5% use open well and 1% use

electric pump.

54% of the residents have no purification methods. 24% of the people in the community

boil the water as a method of water purification. 19% of the people use mineral water. 3% of the

subjects purify their water through chlorination.

water could increase the risk of transmission of microorganisms. As shown, half of the residents are

at a high risk of transmitting microorganism causing diseases.

Pipes protect the water supply of the community. Artesian and open wells do not, however,

readily ensure the safety of the water. That microorganisms can be transmitted down under should

be considered, too.

This is a positive sign since we can surmise that the community understands the effect of

having safe water for drinking. Water transmitted diseases can occur less due to the use of safe

water through boiling and the use of mineral water. However, a considerable 54% still do not use

any means of purifying their water. This 54% is still of concern and should be educated with the

benefits of purifying their water supply.
