B. Developmental Goals and Activities

Community Organization Participatory Action Research aims to equip student

nurses to gain not only the actual experience serve in community life but also educate

them to adapt with the realities of life, preparing them to face the challenges of

everyday life.

Through this program, the student nurses allow to demonstrate the different

functions of community health nurse. These will enhance them to exemplify their

abilities as a facilitator, supervisor, motivator, advocate, counselor, and an educator.

Our main goal is to improve the quality of life of the people through making the

community self reliant. This is by empowering them and by realizing them the need of

change toward health. It maximizes community participation and involvement in social

transformation.

Their consciousness for change is our fuel for community mobilization creating

programs and activities that will help them to achieve community development.

C. Community History

Miguel Pineda in 1763, the first "Captain Municipal" of the place founded it. It was

said that Miguel Pineda, a native of Angat, went hunting one day and he happened to

reach barrio San Bartolome, located at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains. Finding

the place suitable for this chosen by the settlers to be their leader.

The barrio improved through his leadership and decides to expand their territory.

He then later discovered a progressive community named Sto. Rosario whose leader

was Mariano Puno. The two agreed to form a town between Bartolome (now Tartaro)

and Sto. Rosario (now Mandile). They chose Miguel Mayumo to be the name of the

town, which should be included in the province of Pampanga. Miguel was in honor of

Miguel Pineda and Mayumo, a Pampango word for "sweet", stands for the goodwill and

generosity of Puno.

Years passed by, the people, during a meeting presided over by Pineda,

endorsed to give the town a better name. In the course of their meting, an excited man

came in and then related an unusual tale.

He clamed that one night on his way home after gathering bundles of firewood

which he placed on a raft, a big rock blocked his way along the river. He tried to find

another way but could not make it. Suddenly, a strong wind lashed at him followed by

heavy rains. He hurriedly left the raft and sought shelter inside a cave. He continued

that he fell asleep as he waited for the rain to stop.

At midnight, a blinding light woke him up. Stunned, he stood up as he sensed

something was happening when another dazzling light brightened the cave. He went to

another part of the cave and later on he discovered a hallowed winged figure. He was

sure, a miracle happened. He went back at the town and narrated the story. Some

people led by Captain Miguel went there to see for themselves the miracle. They saw

the winged figure, which looked like Saint Michael, the Prince of the Angels. They

8

Page 9: Copar Book!Final Draft

believed that the discovery of the Angel was God's blessing and a sign of good graces

to the inhabitants. In this connection, the people of Miguel Mayumo deemed it proper

and timely to add "Sam" to the name of the town in reference and homage to the

discovery of the image of Arcangel. Hence, San Miguel de Mayumo became the

complete name of the town. However, the official name of the town at present is simply

San Miguel.

The history of Batasan Matanda was deried from the name “Batasan” from the

word “Bagtasan” which means “pass through”. The barangay is located adjacent to

several barrios in Pampanga. People often used the word fast, the “g” letter was

omitted and the word, “Batasan” begun until today the barangay is called such.

Batasan is uded to ber large in terms of land area, it was divided by Bagong

Silang formerly parua, mandible, formerly Sto. Rosario, sitio Balibago of San Agustin

were all Batasan during those times. Because of its vastness in land area, Batasan was

divided into several barangays as was mentioned earlier. Batasan was again divided

into during the term of then Barangay Captain Cesario Cruz, into Batasan Matanda and

Batasan Bata which was then known as Pasong Hari.

health workers (BHWs). The Barangay Health Center is open during Tuesdays. The

midwife and the LLN members go house to house visit to provide health services to the

people.

The student nurses considered the following health problems that needs to be

addressed: Prevalence of Hypertensive Disease in the barangay is considerably high.

The availability and utilization of health services by its people in the health center like

Maternal Care- prenatal care should be empowered.

Chapter 2

PRESENTATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH PROBLEMS

1. Identification and Analysis of the Problem

A. Lack of Awareness Regarding Health Programs and Other Health Services

Offered by the Barangay Health Center

Based on the data gathered during house to house survey, we observed that

many residents of the barangay were not aware of the health services offered by the

Health Center. The people prefer to consult in private clinics and district hospital in time

of illness which can remedied by the resources of the health center. Contributory factors

of the health problem are (1.) There are limited health personnel working in the

barangay health center. Only the Rural Health Midwife and the volunteer LLN members

who serve as Barangay health workers cater a large population of the barangay from

zone 1 to 7. (2.) The rural health physician visits rarely and in limited time. (3.) The

health center also opens on selected days according to the Midwife’s schedule on her

catchment. (4.) No other medical personnel are available when the primary care giver,

the midwife, is out.

The student nurses proposes the following solutions

1. Conduct a barangay assembly or a Health education Class to campaign health

services available In the health center for the utilization by the community people.

2. Conduct a formal and/or informal information dissemination utilizing different

strategies such as poster and fliers.

3. Improvement of Health Center Facilities

4. Provision of Medical Equipments and Supplies

5. Refer to the Municipal Health Level the problem on limited health personnel

available in the community

6. Solicit support to the Municipal Health Board and/or to Non-government

organizations medical equipments and supplies, and other form of support.

18

Page 19: Copar Book!Final Draft

B. High prevalence Rate of Hypertensive Disease in the Community

According to the survey result we gathered, there is a considerably high

prevalence rate of hypertensive disease in the community. Assessment of people’s

lifestyle suggests that their food preferences is into fatty and salty foods and mostly are

high alcoholic drinkers.

The student nurses propose the following solutions:

1. Conduct a Health Campaign on Hypertensive Diseases.

2. Conduct a Blood Pressure taking and monitoring sessions in the barangay.

3. Conduct a Health Education Classes on Hypertensive Diseases taking note its

prevention and management.

4. Refer to Municipal Health Board the target clients eligible for appropriate

programs about hypertensive diseases of the Department of Health.

C. Lack of awareness on the health services particularly Maternal health care-

Pre-Natal Services to Pregnant Women in the Barangay Health Center.

In our data gathering and collation, we found out that most pregnant women do

not avail the services of the health center particularly the Maternal health programs

launched by the department of health. We , the student nurses, felt a need to address

this health problem and hereby propose the following solutions:

1. Conduct an information dissemination drive to the community people

especially particular groups like pregnant women, children of 0-12 months of

age, about health services in the health centers available to them.

2. Conduct a Mother’s Class on Health Promotion during Pregnancy

19

Page 20: Copar Book!Final Draft

3. Refer to the Midwife, to the Rural health unit, cases that are eligible to the

programs of the DOH. And refer high risk cases to the rural health unit for any

complications.

Chapter 4

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A. Project Plan

Base on the data and information we collated, Barangay Batasan Matanda is

qualified as a community laboratory for the conduction of the immersion program of the

university. During our pre-entry phase, we set schedule for our activities in order to

identify health problems, formulate plans of action, implement program projects and

evaluate set activities. These include ocular survey, house-to-house survey and

interviews, community integration, collation and tallying.

In our entry phase, we, first, have a courtesy visit to the identified key leaders of

the barangay who includes the barangay captain and his councilors, the KBB and its

members and other identified key leaders in the community. The Ocular survey and

household interviews were conducted during the 1st week of the program. Students

66

Page 67: Copar Book!Final Draft

were oriented by their respective community instructors on the survey tool that will be

used for the interview. This will give standardize and acceptable measurement to

assess the community in terms of demographic profile, health statistics, environmental

sanitation data and social data. The group of 12 is divided into 3 teams, with each team

covered a specified zone. Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 surveyed zone 5. Groups 5, 6, 7, and 8

were in zone 6 while groups 9, 10, 11 and 12. Also, each group assigned members to

draw the spot map and the transect walk map taking note the barangay landmarks such

as barangay health center, school, and alike. Meanwhile, others are advised to observe

the family and the community for existing or possible health problems.

Each group tallied their collected data and then collated to come up a

comprehensive assessment of the community. We, then, arrived to three prevalent

health problems existing in the community based on the gathered data. These were lack

of awareness of health services in the barangay health center, high prevalence of

hypertensive diseases, and Lack of awareness on the health services particularly

Maternal health care- Pre-Natal Services to Pregnant Women in the Barangay Health

Center.

These health problems were ranked and prioritized by the community people in

an assembly and we then formulated objectives and activities to be undertaken for the

next few weeks by the community and with the student nurses as a facilitator.

B. Project Innovation

During our assessment phase of the program, Barangay Batasan Matanda, San

Miguel Bulacan has a priority problem of Lack of Awareness Regarding Health

Programs and Other Health Services Offered by the Barangay Health Center. Through

the help of our community instructors, we conducted an Operation Tuli (free

circumcision) in the community. We also conducted a health education class with a

theme of Oplan Mongo, that gave new cooking recipes and techniques in mongo food

preparation to parents which is cheap yet nutritious. This would address nutrition

67

Page 68: Copar Book!Final Draft

problem which may exist in the community. To add more, we donated medical supplies

that will make the barangay health center functional and ready to serve the barangay.

With these activities, the barangay health center will become more available, accessible

to people. And most especially, our goal is to make the barangay a self-reliant

community that is equipped with proper knowledge and right attitude towards health.

C. Limitations and Difficulties Encountered

During our community immersion program, the student nurses faced accidental

problems towards reaching our goal in the community. Through our community

instructors, they held a team building activity to establish friendly and professional

relationship within members of the group and among each group. This activity

addressed any individual differences and variance among us. Also through this activity,

we strengthen relationships, valued solidarity and camaraderie among students and

exercised professional conduct.

Foster parents and their families welcomed the student nurses with great

hospitality and such we return it with at most discretion to immerse ourselves with the

daily activities of community life. With integration, there would be adjustment with the

new environment and as nurses; we are faced with challenges dealing it with versatility.

We adapt ourselves with the warm weather in the area and most especially with

community life.

With any gathering, there would be heated arguments and discussions;

nevertheless, we settled our own disagreements and deliver superb results as needed.

But these limitations and difficulties we encountered during our program did not stopped

us or even falter, instead made us strong and invigorate us to strive and to do in our at

most excellence our calling – to serve the underserved and marginalized areas of our

country.

D. Implementation, Accomplishment and Evaluation

68

Page 69: Copar Book!Final Draft

From our data collation and through the prioritization by the community people,

we focused our efforts to solve the most felt needs of the community - lack of

awareness of health services in the barangay health center.

In our implementation, we conducted operation tuli at the health center,

alongside a health education class with a title, Oplan Mongo. We also conducted

informal health teachings with the people emphasizing the programs and services

offered in the health center.

We also tapped interlinkages, the midwife and the barangay health staff for our

operation tuli, the barangay council, the KBB organization, the rural health unit to

strengthen health programs of the health center and to continue the programs we

started even we disengage out of the community.

Our accomplishment is also the accomplishment of the community. New learning

are gained by the people and applied to their daily lives. Their change of behavior

towards health is our accomplishment.

E. Recommendations

Barangay Batasan Matanda is rural to urban type of barangay. It is situated in the

border of Bulacan. The people receive us with their most welcoming ways. They treated

and considered us a family. This exemplified the Filipino virtue of hospitality which we

are known internationally.

With the 3 weeks of community immersion, we have observed that the barangay

has plenty of natural resources that could help them with their socio-economic status.

Some of them have a fertile backyard that can be use as vegetable, fruit or flower

garden. This will add a resource to the family.

Most households have no sanitary waste disposal. We recommend to the local

government to provide a regular proper garbage collection management system as this

will prevent acquiring certain diseases. Moreover, we recommend an education class on

proper garbage disposal focusing on composting, segregation of biodegradable and

non-biodegradable and importance of reuse and recycle. In addition, proper waste

water management is needed. We recommend construction of communal water waste

drainage system and teach every household the importance of blind drainage.

The activities and health programs we started to develop the barangay to a

healthier and greener community should be continued by its people headed by the

barangay council and the inside-organization, KBB tapping the local key leaders such

as the teachers and the local church. A resident health care professional is highly

recommended to continue and formulate appropriate health programs in the service to

the people. Health education classes are highly recommended.

F. Disengagement

Our last day of our community immersion program endorsement is conducted

through a small socialization program. This program was attended by the Barangay

council, Linkod Lingap sa Nayon Mother Leaders and the people of Barangay Batasan

Matanda. Medical supplies for the health center were endorsed properly in this event.

This socialization program serves as our thanksgiving for the residents of the

barangay. Both the Arellano University Jose Abad Santos Pasay Campus and the

residents prepared a intermission that showcase their talents in singing and dancing.

Later in the day, small festivity held in the homes of the foster families of students.

This community immersion program is indeed educational and worthwhile

experience and also a very delightful and pleasant time to students, instructors and the

community.

G. Feedback

The projects that we implemented during our stay in Barangay Batasan Matanda

has a significant effect not only to students but also, and most especially to the

community. Together, hand-in-hand, we created ways to improve the health of families

and the entire community. Health is important for the progress and development.

Establishing multisectoral approach for community development is vital. This is feasible

through tapping with non-government organizations and strengthens the local

government. Prioritizing health in the programs of the local government is another.

Arousing the community for health change is also a factor. Creating awareness by

health education classes is one way for community participation.
