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.
