SUMMARY
After three days of conducting an interview within Barangay 621, Sta. Mesa Manila, the researchers have obtained significant data to diagnose and conclude health conditions of the community. The researchers found out that majority of the respondents are unmarried and are dominate by males. The data gathered also showed that many of them are unemployed. Majority of the families in the area are considered to be earning below the minimum wage. This income is said to sustain the needs of each family member. The data reflects that most respondents had graduated high school and also, most are Catholics. It is shown that a number of respondents came from the Luzon areas especially in NCR. And majority of the houses of the respondents have adequate ventilation and are made from mixed concrete and light materials. The water of the respondents is supplied through waterworks system. Most of
them also use pour flush toilets and they dispose their garbage through truck collection. Regarding their health status, the gathered data shows that most respondents have refrigerators for their food storage. Furthermore, most mothers patronize breast feeding rather than the bottle feeding; however, the mother had their children receive immunization for their children protection. The researchers also found out that the respondents seek help from the hospital and consults doctors whenever they experience deviation on their health. Also, the data shows that most of the respondents receive health information from other health care personnel.
From the observation and information gathered during the interview, the researchers were able to identify some of the community’s needs that should be give priorities. These problems are the one that makes hindrances to their progress not only as an individual but also as a society. CONCLUSION
After scrutinizing the data gathered, the researchers came up with the conclusion that the barangay have problem when it comes to their economical status because majority of them are earning below minimum wage which could signify shortage in resources and also could affect their health status. Also there is a problem to their availability in space for living for majority of the houses is too small for the number of crowd living in it. Therefore, there are posing no difficulty in the spread of communicable diseases within the community and so, in solution to this, the health care team should provide health teaching within the barangay regarding proper segregation and disposal of the garbage, and also proper sanitation. But aside from those, the researchers concluded that there are no other signs of threat within the community.
The whole community is so far healthy for they have access and utilize the health care facilities like the nearby health center (Esperanza Health Center) and many of them are conscious to their health status as evidenced by their regular visit in the said health center and other health care institutes.
