Introduction

During the Biblical Times, Adam and Eve were created by

God. They made the first family in this world made their
siblings and continue to spread their ancestry. As time passed
by, from a small family is now a big group of family and these
forms the community.

Community therefore is defined as a group of people with

common characteristics of goals and shared interest living
together within a geographical boundary, has a population
and environmental resources. Community is somehow divided
into different sectors like political sector in which they are
considered as the leaders of the community. Another sector is
that cultural sector they are the ones responsible for the
cultural profile of heir community, environmental sector they
are for the restoration of our forest and most importantly the
health sector these are composed of doctors and mostly
nurses, they are the ones who can gave so much contribution
to reduce the mortality and morbidity rates. The health sector
in the community that intervenes for the improvement of the
health of the community is known as the Community Health
Nursing.

Community Health Nursing is defined by different

personalities in the field of Medicine. According to the WHO
“CHN is a special field of Nursing that combines skills of
Public Health and some phases of social assistance and
function as a part of the total health program. For the
promotion of health improvement in the conditions of social
and physical environment, rehabilitation of illness and
disabilities. Therefore it is the public nurse that assesses the
community health needs and problems and must intervene
something for the improvement of the health condition of the
community people. This is a big task for a nurse because it
takes for a long period of time for the preparations of your
intervention, your equipments going to use, the budget
available, the resources available and the most important of
all the participation of the community people in such
activities that you are planning to perform. At first, on your
own point of view, you must determine your objectives. Then
look for your study population, determine your needed data’s,
start now to develop your instruments. By this time you can
now have actual data gathering, after that collate all your
data’s. Try to present it and analyze your data. At this point
onwards you can now identify the community health problems
and you can now identify which problem in the community
you will prioritize most. You have to gather so many data’s
and profile of the community for you to be able to understand
it as a whole and this is very challenging for every Public
Health Nurse.

Afterwards of such intervention, you will now have your

trademark in your community that a Public Health Nurse has a
warmth attribute of love for the development of their
community and thinks not only for itself but also for the
goodness of mankind.

As we noticed in the chart the number 1 problems in the surveyed

community is foul smell of garbage’s. The respondents says that the truck that
collect all the garbage in their community collect the garbage once or twice a
week. As a big community in the urban areas, the proper collecting of garbage is
at least 3-4 times in a week because where they put their garbage? Because of
the foul smell of the garbage, their community is risk in disease or other
infection.

Their second main problem is malnutrition, most of the people in the

community especially those younger in age is malnourished. The community is
like a “squatters” area. The level status of the people in the community is in the
low socio-income level. The money they earned is not enough for their basic
needs do that many people and children in the community are malnourished.

The third main problem in their community is spread of communicable

disease especially tuberculosis. Through improper disposal of garbage’s the result
is many communicable disease spread in their community.
 HEALTH PROBLEMS OF THE COMMUNITY

The main causes of community problems are lack of budget for health care.
In every country the providing health for people is essential or vital. Because if
people in one country ill or sick it reflect that government towards neglect in
providing health for people. Man power is the most important of all. Without
people who is work in offices even factory etc. Giving or providing a care in the
people in the community is very important so that we can prevent the increase of
mortality and morbidity rate in our country and also we can prevent the spread of
communicable disease in one community.
