INTRODUCTION
A community, at its core, is not a location, a structure, or a group. A community includes both how
people feel and how they interact with one another. People form and maintain groups to meet their common
needs. A group's members have mutual trust, a sense of belonging, security, and concern for one another.
They feel empowered as a group and as individuals to change their environment and one another as
members of this community. This essential sense of community stems from shared experiences and a sense
of shared history, rather than from actual experience of these things. Therefore, members of the group are
aware of who belongs and who does not, and it is essential to being human. These communities live and
work in neighborhoods, businesses, schools, and religious institutions, but these are not the communities
themselves (Chavis & Lee, 2015).
Stenquist (2020) defines community health nursing as being concerned with the health of patients
of all ages, their families, and their communities. This characterization is consistent with the role of a
healthcare professional, involving a holistic approach to patient care. Interventions target individuals,
families, and groups within a geographical area. Nursing care focuses on disease management, prevention,
and community health education. It is significant because some members of society do not have access to
medical care. Nurses operate in communities to help people manage medical conditions and maintain their
health. Encourage beneficial behavior, health culturalization, and civic engagement with their natural
environment. Hence, it acknowledges the significance of comprehensive health planning, the influence of
people, places, and social systems, the significance of focusing on at-risk populations, and the establishment
of a community diagnosis to identify the factors related to the area's health threats or complications.
Effective community health efforts almost always begin with community diagnosis, which use data
to precisely determine a community's health condition and strengths. The use of data and information
acquired during the data-collecting phase of the community assessment method will assist in the
1
development of a systematic approach to data analysis and synthesis, both of which are complicated
procedures. A community diagnosis is a hypothesis or statement that summarizes the findings of an analysis
and synthesis of facts and information obtained about a community during data gathering. As an advanced
practice public or community health nurse, community diagnoses give a holistic assessment of a
community's health state, which is required for an all-encompassing approach to community work
(“Community Diagnosis: Analysis and Synthesis of Data and Information,” 2018).
Accordingly, the research was conducted in Barangay Caranglaan, Dagupan City, Pangasinan on
May 17 to 19, 2023. There are 2,100 homes and 2,506 families in the barangay, in which there are a total
of 8,364 people. This is one of the barangays adopted by the University of Pangasinan. It was selected by
the researchers as it has been identified to have environmental factors that may increase health risks and
hazards.
During the community diagnostic, quantitative and qualitative data were collected using surveys,
questionnaires, and therapeutic communication skills. Critical thinking was also applied to data processing
and interpretation. Due to the researchers' effort, teamwork, and solidarity, their community's diagnosis was
effective. Hence, it will be advantageous and improve the community of choice.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
In the early days, when the "chief tanod" of the village was referred to as the Cabeza de Barangay
or then the Teniente Del Barrio, this site being in abundance with a herbal plant known in the native tongue
as "ANGLA" hence then became famous and named Cadanglaan as derived. People travel from near and
far to purchase this herbal plant, which is beneficial in the treatment of rheumatism, cough, and other
illnesses. As the decades passed, this Barangay was renamed Caranglaan as a sign of the arrival of the
modern period. It covers an area of 73.15 Hectares. It is delimited on the north by Barangay Mayombo, on
the south by the Municipality of Calasiao, on the east by Barangay Tebeng, and on the west by Bacayao
Norte and Sur. It is located 2.1 kilometers from the Central Business District. Currently, the barangay has
an estimated population of 8,364 (7,745 DOH) and 2,100 households.
HEALTH STATUS
The primary issue in Barangay Caranglaan is the lack of space for horticulture, open drainage,
inadequate pet waste management, and factory smoke, all of which require immediate attention and action.
Climate has also affected the community's health conditions. The most common health conditions in the
barangay are asthma, colds, and anemia, so if proper care is not provided, it could lead to health
complications. Nonetheless, Barangay Health Workers (BWS) are always accessible to assist the populace.
Hence, public health practice is utilized to promote and safeguard population health.
3
RATIONALE
Community Diagnosis is the foundation for improving and promoting the health of community
members. The role of community assessment is to identify factors that affect the health of a population and
determine the availability of resources within the community to adequately address these factors (University
Libraries [UNC], 2022).
The researchers were deployed in Sitio Hidalgo, Sitio Peulay, Sitio Maharlika, and Sitio Bayanihan
located in Barangay Caranglaan, Dagupan City to conduct their community diagnosis. This allowed the
researchers to identify some of the major problems such as lack of space for horticulture, open drainage,
inadequate pet waste management, and factory smoke, all of which require immediate attention and action.
This study is focused on improving people's lives via collaborative efforts by the people themselves
and it aims to promote health by educating and facilitating people to successfully manage and improve their
community.
4
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The purpose of this study was to improve the lives of the community's residents through health
promotion and disease prevention. This is why they conducted a community assessment in their adopted
barangay, which has been identified to have environmental factors that may increase health risks and
hazards.
This study focuses on the evaluation of the current health status of individuals, as well as the
identification of the major problems faced by the residents of Sitio Hidalgo, Sitio Peulay, Sitio
Maharlika, and Sitio Bayanihan in Caranglaan, Dagupan City, and the diseases acquired as a
result of their environmental conditions. It also concentrates on resolving the fundamental issues
identified by the researchers. In addition, the present status of the aforementioned communities

METHODOLOGY AND TOOLS USED
This chapter describes the research plan and methodology of the researchers. It discusses data
collection methods, study subjects, data collection tools, and data analysis. In addition, because the purpose
of the study is to reveal the challenges that the community is currently facing, the methodology for this
study is a combination of quantitative and interview schedule frameworks.
Quantitative research was done to provide the researchers with a systematic database of information
collected. Using the provided survey forms, interviews were conducted with each family and household in
order to examine their circumstances and obtain additional details about their neighborhood. This aided the
researchers in determining the precise number of homes in the area of interest.
8
SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
This study determined the health issues in the communities of Sitio Hidalgo, Sitio Peulay, Sitio
Maharlika, and Sitio Bayanihan in Caranglaan, Dagupan City, through interviews with local residents.
Consequently, it is essential to identify and acknowledge the limitations and restrictions that this study
would face.
Initially, the aforementioned communities of the barangay were examined from May 17 to 19,
2023, from Wednesday to Friday. The study then focused on the local population's health condition and
identified factors and influences affecting their health. This report also suggested actions and initiatives for
community members to take themselves.
In this study, the researchers conducted their community diagnosis in the Caranglaan communities
of Sitio Hidalgo, Sitio Peulay, Sitio Maharlika, and Sitio Bayanihan. The objective of the study was to
inform and enlighten the audience about the health issues and related factors that the residents of the
aforementioned communities face. In addition, they wished to assist the readers in managing their own
communities by describing actions and measures that would enhance their health status. Due to time and
environmental constraints, including challenging weather conditions and extreme heat, the researchers had
difficulty reaching the anticipated total number of people to be interviewed for their community assessment
and diagnosis. One of the reasons why the researchers did not interview the targeted number of households
in the community is that they lacked sufficient time to conduct their study in the area. Additionally, some
clients, particularly mothers, are absent from their homes while researchers conduct interviews due to the
need to transport their children to school, and other homes are nearly inaccessible due to the poor
accessibility of the concerned population.
Relevant printed and online sources were used to gather references for the investigation. Due to
time constraints and unfavorable weather conditions, the researchers could only survey 505 households,
covering at least six percent of the entire population

Based on the data gathered, the total population of Sitio, Barangay Caranglaan is 8,450, with 505 surveyed
families accounting for 5.98% and 7,945 unsurveyed families accounting for 94.02% of the total population.
10
Analysis and interpretation:
Since people make up a single community and are the main source of data needed by the researchers to
interpret the data collected from them in diagnosing their community, people serve as important
components in this study. Due to the researchers' schedule-driven visit to the location, only 5.98% of the
population as a whole was surveyed, leaving 94.02% unsurveyed. This made it difficult for them to reach
the required number of households in the population. When the researchers visited the area for the
community integration, some homes were empty because parents were at school to look for their kids, and
some areas were flooded, making it challenging for the researchers to get to their homes. With this overall
percentage of unsurveyed residents in the area, the researchers encountered challenges in achieving the
intended study results.

12
Analysis and interpretation
This shows that most families in the area are able to cooperate when it comes to addressing their status and
needs. Though, some of the population were unable to participate in the activity, as certain circumstances
like work schedules and appointments got on the way. But overall, this shows that most households would
be able to comply with activities aiming to improve their community’s health when needed to.

There are 2,506 families who comprise the land area of Barangay Caranglaan. The total families surveyed
were 20.15% with a number of 505 families while 2,001 families were not surveyed with a percentage of
79.85%.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
According to the data, Barangay Caranglaan has a higher count of families in comparison with its number
of households. Each household can consist of either one or at most two families. Having one or two families
in one household can provide positive benefits such as social and emotional support among the members
of each family, but can also pose challenges such as sharing resources and space within the household.
Even so, these families provide help and assistance to the families who are in times of crisis.

lowest population at about 22.37% with a total of 134 individuals.
16
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
For most cases, individuals that are above 30s-60s are more dominant than those ages below 30. However,
upon analyzing the data collected, most of the residents in the household of Barangay Caranglaan were
senior citizens, followed by ages 30-60, and lastly those of ages below 30. This plays a major role in the
demography of the barangay in terms of productivity, cooperativity, and their economical status. Barangay
Caranglaan will most likely be prioritizing the health and well-being of its community over social and
festive activities. Furthermore, residents aged above 60 surpass the majority in the said barangay.

According to the data gathered, among the 504 people that are interviewed, there are 264 males interviewed
which is equivalent to 52.40% of the total population. On the other hand, there are 240 females which is
equivalent to 47.60% which gives a total of 100% and 504 respondents.
18
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION:
This chart indicates that in Barangay Caranglaan, Male respondents have a higher population in the area
than females. The reason why male is higher than females in Barangay Caranglaan, when females reach
the reproductive age (15-49 y/o), they are more likely to leave their place of residence where their husbands
or partners live as they start their own family. Based on the 2020 census of population in Pangasinan, In
terms of sex distribution, there were more males than females in the province with a sex ratio of 102. This
means that there were 102 males for every 100 females. Furthermore, according to the Philippine Statistics
Authority, in the Philippines of the 101.67 million household population in 2020, 55.02 million (50.6%)
were males while 53.65 million (49.4%) were females.

number of 9 people.
20
ANALYSIS:
In accordance with this data, married couples outnumbered single and widowed individuals by
85.72%. William Farr discovered that marital status influences mortality. Married couples have better
health and a lower mortality rate. This could simply mean that the community has a higher percentage
of married couples, which means they are accountable for providing the best support for their children's
well-being.

22
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
The chart shows that most of the respondents in Barangay Caranglaan are Elementary Graduates and High
School Graduates with the percentage of (47.22%) and (29.37%). This shows that many of them have no
ability to pursue their dreams because of poverty and lack of interest and motivation to go to school. People
who lack education have trouble getting ahead in life, have worse health and are poorer than the welleducated.

DESCRIPTION
According to the data, there are 228 individuals who are categorized as Employed, representing
approximately 45.24% of the total population being analyzed. This group consists of individuals who
have found and currently hold jobs or are engaged in some form of employment. On the other hand,
there are 123 individuals categorized as Unemployed, representing approximately 24.40% of the total
population. The third category, Self Employed, consists of 153 individuals, representing around
30.35% of the total population. These individuals are involved in entrepreneurial activities or have
established their own businesses or freelance work. They are self-employed and typically work
independently, without being formally employed by an organization.
24
ANALYSIS AND INTER
There are a large number of individuals who are employed in the Barangay Caranglaan. However,
there are still 24.40 percent of individuals who are unemployed due to several reasons such as lack of
job opportunities, lack of determination of people to look for work. They lack the skills and knowledge
for the job they are applying for. Apart from these, the main reason for the high percentage of
unemployed individuals is due to the lack of education due to poverty. Even though the government
offers subsidies to public universities or schools, the majority of the parents in Barangay Caranglaan
cannot afford to send their kids to high school or college because they lack the funds and other
resources for other supplies like books, allowances, and school transportation and would rather use
their incomes or earnings on more important things like food, household goods, and debt repayment.
Additionally, as is customary in the nation, people over the age of 18 rely heavily on their families to
meet their basic needs and provide for them financially. Because of this, there is poverty, which will
negatively impact people's health because they cannot afford to buy the right medications or visit the
hospital clinic for an appropriate check-up.

Out of 465 families surveyed, 230 were under the nuclear type which comprised 45%. There are 231
extended families in the community and a percentage of 46%. And 4 families are under cohabitation or
practiced live-in with 2% of the total families. And 7% of the families did not respond.
26
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
According to the information gathered by the researchers, the nuclear and extended types of families are
the two most frequently observed among Filipinos. The extended family ranks highest in terms of family
structure, with 46% of the population, or nearly half of the population in the area belonging to this type of
family. The key characteristic of the extended family is that there are multiple adults in the family that are
not parents of the children, though they may also have parent-like family roles and share in the
responsibilities for providing for the whole family, either by contributing financially or in other ways
(Michelle, 2019). Some Filipinos adhere to the traditional extended family structure, but the majority also
adhere to the nuclear family model with 45% of the population with almost the same statistics as the
extended family. A nuclear family of two parents and their children, but doesn't include extended family
members such as aunts, uncles, grandparents. Family is considered to be the foundation of social life for
most Filipinos. The nuclear family is the core family unit. Thus, one’s kin and personal alliances are all
important in the Philippines. Large extended families often live in the same house. In many cases nuclear
families would prefer to live on their own but are forced by space and money constraints to live together.
Social relationships are often melded out of real kinship ties, ritual kinship relations and relationships based
on special debts of gratitude. Family relationships also shape other relations in business and the community.

DESCRIPTION
Based on the data gathered, a summation of 339 families which is 67.26% of the total population
agreed to have the father as the family’s decision maker. It can be inferred from the table that this response
was the most chosen answer. Taking up 26.59% of the respondents’ population revealed that their mother
roles to be the family’s decision maker. On the other hand, representing 6.15% of the respondents answered
others as their family’s decision maker. This may refer to the extended family members involved in the
household such as the aunt, uncle, grandmother, or grandfather.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Patriarchal culture has been embedded among Filipinos since time immemorial. Common in the
Filipino household is the idea that fathers are the ones who are usually looked up to and turned to when
authority and decision making is at the line. It can be related to the idea of the society that whoever earns
more for the household is given more power to lead and choose which is which for the entire household.
Based on the statistics, most families in Barangay Caranglaan still convey that this culture is still evident
in our modern household system. This may explain the result of the home-based interview showing 67.26%,
which is more than half of the percentile of the total population, revealed the autonomy of fathers to rule in
the household.

Out of the 494 individuals comprising the total population interviewed in Caranglaan, Dagupan
City, 85.83% are Catholics with 424 individuals. There are 14 individuals who are followers of Iglesia ni
Cristo with 2.83%. There are 19 individuals who are followers of Born Again Christian with a percentage
of 3.85%, There are 7 individuals who are followers of Jehovah’s witness a percentage of 1.42% and 1
follower for Salvation army with a percentage of 0.20%. While other unspecified religion are also followed
with 29 individuals with a percentage of 5.87%
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
To this day, Catholicism remains the most widely practiced religion in the Philippines. It shows in
our history how such views arose and spread throughout our country and finally being passed down from
generation to generation. This can be seen by the fact that the families interviewed were also introduced to
this religion by their family, and therefore how it is for their family as well. As a religious country, religion
is an important component of Filipino life and culture. This is most likely the result of the Spanish Catholic
reign in the Philippines for over 300 years. Thus, religion continues to play an important role in the lives of
the majority of Filipinos.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
According to the statistics acquired, households own the majority of homes since owning a home of one's
own can improve one's health. Asthma or lead poisoning may be prevented by a safe home; developmental
issues and mental health issues may be avoided by a respectable home; and stunted growth and unnecessary
hospitalizations may be avoided by an affordable home. Residents in Caranglaan are able to save money
because they don’t have to pay the monthly mortgage, and since they own their homes, they can use the
money for other essential everyday needs.

Based on the data gathered, all houses are owned by 504 households with the percentage of 100%. This
implies that all members residing in the household have complete ownership rights and are not renting or
leasing the property.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
For most areas of Barangay Caranglaan, the houses were built legally; they came to terms with the legal
title of the land belongings they lived in. To this juncture, there is a hearsay that just in case inevitable
circumstances transpires with relations to shelter, and the government equips an obtainable land for those
such, howbeit individuals from residents who are already used to a particular way of vitality, do just well
to the new environment primarily who work close to their houses. In this case, thousands of individuals
own their houses in Dagupan City; in the case of Barangay Caranglaan, most of the houses are all owned,
Caranglaan is not near the river banks nor seashore, unfortunately which causes floods in other barangays.
Luckily, the geographic landmark of this Barangay is composed of mainland and the plurality of the house's
are a stress free environment, and it only requires improvement and maintenance to foster the safety of each
family.

make-shift homes which has a percentage of 5%.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Based on the data gathered, the permanent type of dwelling was mostly used by the people in the
community, and this means that most families in Caranglaan has a fixed and durable construction.
Although there were also families in the area who uses temporary type of dwelling, semipermanent type, and also makeshift construction materials for their homes.

Moreover, respondents who responded with no connection gained 4.76% or 24 households.
38
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Based on the data gathered, most of the households in Barangay Caranglaan owned the electricity
they are using which is paid monthly because having their own electrical power can help them conserve
money on energy while also ensuring reliable and uninterrupted power supply efficiently, continuously and
ensured security. This may be the only viable and cost-effective choice for rural estates. Also, this displays
that community households have independence of living. Paying their bills, covering their health insurance
and exercising their health related needs provided by the government. Additionally, some of the households
have no connection with 4.76%, while there are no households that shared an electric connection despite
the fact that doing so could help them spend less overall. This is because not all families have the same
amount of money, and splitting bills between two families could result in conflict.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
The majority of households have a concrete type of house. People prefer to construct their homes
out of concrete because it has many advantages, one of which is durability. Concrete structures can remain
standing for centuries, and concrete homes will typically outlast ones built from wood or steel frames. A
concrete home provides comfort, increased durability, longevity, enhanced safety, reduced outside noise

Ventilation aids in the removal of moisture, smoke, cooking odors, and indoor pollutants from the
house. This means that having good ventilation is essential for hygiene and good health within the
household. It is good to know that 61.78% of the houses observed in Caranglaan have proper ventilation.
On the other hand, 38.22% have poor ventilation because they have crowded spaces that make it difficult
for air to flow through. With that being said, poor ventilation may cause respiratory problems, allergies and
unpleasant odor inside the house.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Out of 505 families interviewed, 443 households have adequate lighting, which makes up the
majority of the interviewed households in the barangay of Caranglaan. They have access to electricity and
lighting in their homes due to their financial capabilities to afford them. While adequate lighting is available
to many families, the cost of electricity can be a burden for some households, especially those with low
incomes. High electricity rates and the cost of installing the lights can make it challenging for some
individuals or communities to afford regular access to lighting. The 62 households who have inadequate
lighting are possibly saving on their electrical bills by simply relying on natural sunlight. It’s also possible
that those families are unable to purchase lights because they are prioritizing on more important needs.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
The majority of households have a clean environment because they believe health is equal to
wealth: a clean house indicates the good health of the individuals who live in that house. People's
understanding and responsibility are required to keep our surroundings clean. A clean environment
increases productivity because individuals will work with a happy, stress-free mindset. Furthermore,
accomplishments will be more pronounced in a clean atmosphere than in a dirty environment. Cleanliness
is vital in health because sanitary activities contribute to an individual's excellent health. One cannot be
healthy in a house full of junk, dump, or waste, thus having a clean environment is essential if you want to
be healthy. For others: Keeping your surroundings clean is not only good for you, but it also helps others
breathe easier and sets a good example for others to follow.

garnering 14. 06%. An artesian well is their third choice of water supply with a total of 32
households (6.34%). 1.78% of the households have other ways of water supply.
49
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Residents of Caranglaan, Dagupan, and Pangasinan mostly prefer NAWASA, or The National
Waterworks and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA), as their water supply provider. NAWASA is a water
supply system that may provide water for human consumption via pipes. It supplies people with a source
of water for potable water as well as a source of water for hygiene. Residents prefer NAWASA compared
to artesian or deep wells since it is less expensive, whereas deep wells require a high electricity cost to run
or pump and NAWASA is also low-maintenance because it is managed by the company itself. The other
32 households are utilizing artesian wells as their source of water supply which makes up 6.34% of the total
population. There could be many reasons as to why this is their choice of water supply source. One reason
may be because the water has a rich concentration of natural minerals that are just the right amount for our
health. Although unproven, there is an assumption that artesian wells provide natural water purification due
to the well natural water pressure. Thanks to that process, all contaminants are removed, which leads to the
artesian bottled water being purer than the city water. This makes it safer and healthier for people and their
families.

Refrigerated water is the main source of drinking water. People typically own a refrigerator, which
is one of the most crucial kitchen appliances for maintaining food safety and is also a healthy option. Due
to bacteria existing everywhere in nature, it is best to refrigerate water to slow down bacterial growth (U.S.
Department of Agriculture, 2023). While the 152 covered households use covered sources of drinking water
and store it in covered at all times in clean containers.

Most households in Caranglaan use plastic containers to store their drinking water. Plastic
containers are much cheaper and can contain a lot more than bottled ones, which are more expensive and
can only accumulate a small amount of water. In addition, plastic containers are durable, reusable, and easy
to clean.

alternative types of toilets, which accounts for 0.79% of all toilets. And there aren’t any households that
use unsanitary restrooms.
56
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Owned sanitary toilet facilities used in the households are the frequently used toilet facility in
Caranglaan, Dagupan. This type of toilet facility promotes a healthier environment as it allows people to
dispose of their waste properly, reducing the risk of contamination to their environment. By this, it
eradicates open defecation and establishes a safe sanitation management system in the community, and it
lessens the possibility of experiencing frequent bouts of diarrhea, worm infection and undernourishment.

“Ballot system” is when a person defecates in a plastic bag and throws it away, this is due to the
absence of a toilet facility. This practice is unsafe and unsanitary, fortunately, there are no households that
are currently using this system.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
With the rise of innovation, there are no more households practicing the “ballot system” because this
is unsanitary and unsafe. Some 829, 000 people in low- and middle-income countries die as a result of
inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene each year, representing 60% of total diarrhoeal deaths. Poor
sanitation is believed to be the main cause in some 432 000 of these deaths and is a major factor in several
neglected tropical diseases, including intestinal worms, schistosomiasis, and trachoma. Poor sanitation also
contributes to malnutrition. (WHO, 2022). Thus, it is very important to practice proper sanitation by having
sanitary toilet facilities.

of the households is open dumping gathering 0.59% which completes the total proportion of the study.
61
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Getting waste removed regularly is the best way to boost curb appeal and remain compliant with all
applicable regulations in your area (Klumm Bros, 1989). Therefore, the majority of the households in the
community find it best to have their wastes/garbage collected to be disposed of properly, rather than having
the world damaged by burning, burying, or other ways of disposing garbage. Although, not all of the
families in the community are practicing garbage collection, this still proves that a higher percentage of
properly disposing of garbage is possible, which then could lead to a non-harmful and world-maintaining
way of life.

Upon interviewing, a larger population of households in the community which has a percentage of

Furthermore, 42.38% of 505 homes, or 214 households, preferred refrigeration as their method of food
storage. Contrarily, with 13 households or 2.57% of the population, uncovered food storage is the least
selected practice.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Good food storage practices can help to preserve the quality and safety of your food (Whitten, 2021).
Hence, the majority of the households in the community store their foods in covered containers instead of
using the method of refrigeration. Some families are unable to purchase refrigerators because doing so
would allow them to save money on skyrocketing electricity expenses. Moreover, the least preference is
the use of uncovered materials in food storage. The said method of food storing may cause underlying risks
that may affect the health of households because leaving the food uncovered allows dirt, flies, and human
hands to contaminate food that might not otherwise be considered safe (Esrey, 1990).

have no presence of animals which is 2.97%.
66
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Most households have dogs as pets because dogs guard homes and are considered man’s best friend.
This applies to cats too. Pets, especially dogs and cats, can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease
loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your cardiovascular health. Caring for
an animal can help children grow up more secure and active. Pets also provide valuable companionship for
older adults. Perhaps most importantly, though, a pet can add real joy and unconditional love to your life
(Robinson and Segal). In terms of pigs, some households have pigs mainly for agriculture and business.
Lastly, there are a few households without the presence of animals/ pets, this is because having animals/
pets at home can be fun but is a huge responsibility, they can also be messy, noisy, and are an additional
expense as well.

households with other plants is 61 or 12.8%. On the other hand, a total of 53 or 10.5% of households don’t
have backyard gardening.
69
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Backyard gardening is the process of cultivating fruits, vegetables, and herbs to feed a household
or community. Some backyard gardens are solely for flowering plants, while others provide refuge for birds
and insects. Having a backyard garden is important as it allows people to reduce their grocery lists and bills,
and it helps in the reduction of the carbon footprint (Candice Stewart, 2022). Based on the results, the
majority of the households in the community plant vegetables in their homes to provide their families with
healthy and organic vegetables. Organic produce means healthy produce, free of harmful pesticides, and
chemicals that are harmful to both health and the environment. Moreover, most households also have herbs
and fruit-bearing plants that can help prevent severe illnesses. Growing our food is important for our health
since it allows us to closely manage what we plant and eat. It also educates us about vitamins and mineralrich foods, as well as how to prepare and eat them. However, 53 households don't have access to backyard
gardens due to not having enough space in their homes. Developing more projects related to gardening is
recommended so that families can work in a non-threatening outdoor environment and allows them to
interact and learn about producing a beneficial garden with vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers.

Analysis and Interpretation
We interviewed a total of 504 households in Barangay Caranglaan, Dagupan City. There are 382
children under the age of five and has a percentage of 75.79%, and children beyond the age of five
make up 20.23%. Some households, up to 3.97% do not have children. In accordance with this
data, the number of children born per woman and the timing of births are closely related to public
health and medical services in several ways. Community health nurses have helped new mothers
care for their newborn children since the 1880s. Thus vital function reduces mortality rates and
child neglect (Walker & Chestnut, 2010).

74
Analysis and Interpretation
Anemia is a prevalent health issue worldwide, including in the Philippines. Caranglaan, a remote barangay,
has a particularly high prevalence of anemia, with 29 reported cases, accounting for 37.8% of the
population. Anemia is a condition characterized by insufficient oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood. The
most common nutritional cause of anemia is iron deficiency, which occurs when there is a lack of iron in
the body. The effects of anemia can be quite debilitating, leading to symptoms such as tiredness, weakness,
and pallor. It is especially concerning for specific groups, including young children, menstruating
adolescent girls and women, and pregnant and postpartum women. These population segments are more
susceptible to anemia due to their increased iron requirements. Iron deficiency is considered the primary
cause of anemia globally. However, other factors can contribute to anemia as well. Acute and chronic
infections that cause inflammation and blood loss can result in anemia. Deficiencies of other essential
nutrients like folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin A can also contribute to the development of anemia.
Additionally, certain genetically inherited traits, such as thalassemia, can predispose individuals to anemia.

among many individuals as they are convenient and highly effective when used correctly. The relatively
higher percentage suggests a significant acceptance and utilization of this method in the community.
Ligation, also known as tubal ligation or female sterilization, is a permanent method of contraception. The
percentage indicates that a moderate number of families in Caranglaan Dagupan City have opted for this
irreversible method. Injectable Contraceptives (Depo-Provera) is a hormonal contraceptive that is
administered through an injection. The lower percentage suggests that this method is less popular among
the families in Caranglaan Dagupan City compared to other options. Condoms are a barrier method of
contraception that not only provides protection against unwanted pregnancies but also helps prevent the
transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The percentage indicates that a moderate number of
families in Caranglaan Dagupan City prefer this method. Overall, the data suggests that there is a diversity
of family planning methods being utilized in Caranglaan Dagupan City. While the IUD and oral
contraceptive pills are the most popular methods, other options such as ligation, injectable contraceptives,
and condoms are also being chosen by a considerable number of families. This indicates that there is

to Article 13 section 11 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution stating that the program of the government was
to help the family in the community to have an integrated and comprehensive approach to health at
affordable price and provide free medical care to other people. This is the reason why most of the families
in the community preferred to go to the Health Center for services that they can avail for free compared to
going to private hospitals that may cost them much.

chosen by the respondents of Caranglaan, Dagupan City are as follows:
The BHW or Barangay Health Workers got the highest percentage which indicates that they are the most
reliable and available at the community. Followed by the Trained Hilot, who are considered to be the
primary caregiver and a common tradition (folk medicine) among the local community and neighboring
regions. And just like the Trained Hilot, although was chosen to be the least according to the data provided;
are the Herbularyo, Untrained Hilot, and Others respectively. This only concludes that the community of
Caranglaan, Dagupan City still relies to indigenous health workers, subsequently aiding them in providing
holistic approach to treatment.

IDENTIFIED HEALTH PROBLEMS
Based on the gathered data, Barangay Caranglaan seems to be experiencing socio-economic problems
which can lead to different health-related problems in the area:
1. The leading problem is having an incomplete education. This issue may restrict employment options and
income potential, resulting in financial strain and insufficient access to healthcare. Emotions of inadequacy
and unmet expectations may also have an impact on mental health.
2. Unemployment is the second leading problem. Lack of financial stability brought on by unemployment can
limit access to healthcare services, especially preventative treatment, exacerbate pre-existing diseases, and
impair general well-being.
3. The presence of stray animals is the third leading problem. Stray animals can spread illnesses, such as
rabies, through bites or scratches. They might also be carrying parasites like ticks and fleas that can infect
people. Injuries, illnesses, and psychological damage can result from interactions with frightened or
aggressive stray animals. Also, stray animals may contribute to the uncleanliness of the community since
they tend to defecate and urinate anywhere.
4. The high rate of persons who use self-medication instead of consulting a doctor is the fourth leading
problem. Self-medication without medical supervision can lead to ineffective doses, drug interactions, and
negative side effects. It might conceal underlying health issues and put off necessary medical help. Selfmedication dependence can result in substance misuse, addiction, and long-term health issues, which can
impact overall health results.

CONCLUSION
The purpose of this research is to identify potential problems that could have a negative impact on the
community. The researchers employed a survey questionnaire while conducting their interview.
The researchers identified the first and foremost possible problem in the community, which is having an
incomplete education, which affects % of the community's population. The second problem identified was
the community's unemployment rate, which is at %. The third problem found in the community is the
presence of stray animals, which stands at %. The last problem identified in the community is the high rate
of people who self-medicate instead of consulting a doctor, which is %.
The most prevalent issue in the community is having an incomplete education. This issue may limit
possibilities for employment, due to the fact that most jobs demand a comprehensive education, causing
financial problems and inability to access healthcare.
The second problem is the community's unemployment rate, Growth can be hampered by unemployment
which also plunges individuals into poverty, leaving them unable to buy food or even clothes for their kids.
Workers are very likely to lose the abilities they have developed for this particular job throughout the time
they are out of employment and they might lose their abilities. The third problem in the community is the
presence of stray animals. By transmitting disease, attacking and injuring people, or leaving their waste in
yards or close to water supplies, stray animals can cause harm to people and other animals. On the other
hand, stray animals are also in danger themselves as they are defenseless animals and can be at risk around
wild animals or get hurt in a traffic accident.
The last problem identified in the community is self-medication. The high rate of persons who use selfmedication instead of consulting a doctor is the fourth leading problem. Self-medication without medical
supervision can lead to ineffective doses, drug interactions, and negative side effects such as substance
94
misuse, addiction, and long-term health issues, which can impact overall health results. It might conceal
underlying health issues and put off necessary medical help.
95
RECOMMENDATIONS
The researchers are recommending the following teachings in order to avoid the four major health
problems identified and in preventing diseases:
1.
Community-based learning and teaching initiatives that support the requirements of the locality,
such as training and job-related projects that the barangay officials can carry out in conjunction with various
organizations. These will allow them to grow and learn more, identify their potential, and at least empower
them.
2.
In the current Philippine economy, lacking a college degree poses a significant disadvantage. A
large portion of unemployed residents in Barangay Caranglaan have either not completed grade school, are
only elementary school graduates, or have not finished high school. Nevertheless, barangay officials can
work alongside companies in need of blue-collar workers by offering them free training opportunities.
These initiatives have the potential to alleviate unemployment. Furthermore, officials can organize clinics
or seminars that provide guidance on starting a business.
3.
Speaking with residents of the area can result in changes that significantly improve the welfare of
these animals and increase community awareness. Advocate for adopting dogs and cats because rescuing
animals helps prevent the spread of rabies by reducing the population of potential carriers in the wild. This
reduces the chance of infected animals harming other people and animals in the community.
4.
Many residents in Barangay Caranglaan resort to self-medication due to the inability to afford
professional medical care. To address this issue, Community Health Nursing can implement health
promotion programs aimed at enhancing the community's understanding of health. Additionally, residents
can seek support from community health centers, charitable organizations, and telemedicine services.
96
Exploring government healthcare programs and considering generic or low-cost alternatives for
medications are also viable options.
