Ecologic Concept of Disease

a. Poverty level income b. Unemployment and underemployment rates c. Proportion salaried and wage earners d. Types of industry present in the community

Economic Indicator

Instrument or tools facilitate the nurse's data gathering activities.

Pie chart -

It works best for displaying data for 3 to 7 categories

1. Survey questionnaire - systematic study designed to collect data about a ommunity, but costly and time consuming 2. Interview guide 3. Observation checklist

Most common:

dentification and quantification of health problem dentification of those who are at risk dentification of community needs and problems Determine available resources Set priorities for planning

Pie chart -

To show percentage or proportional data

Pie chart -

When comparing areas of growth

Line graph

When comparing two or more different variables, situations, and information over a given period of time

Pie chart -

When you want to create and represent the composition of something.

Bar graph

When you want to display data that are grouped into nominal (data with no numeric value, such as profession) or ordinal (numbers) categories

Line graph

When you want to make predictions based on a data history over time

Line graph-graphically

When you want to show trends eg. How cases of hypertension increase over time

represents categorical data with rectangular bars. They are commonly used to compare several categories of data. Each bar has length and height proportional to the values that they represent.

Transportation system

road networks necessary for accessibility of the people to health care delivery system

. Survey questionnaire -

systematic study designed to collect data about a ommunity, but costly and time consuming

Community Diagnosis

t is the end-result of data collection and analysis.

Agent

the cause, source or vehicle by which infectious organisms are transmitted

Environment

the place and the correct condition for the agent to come together with the host and infect it

Environment

the sum total of all the external conditions and influences that affect the development of an organism.

Educational level

which may be indicative of poverty and may reflect on health perception and utilization pattern of the community

Housing Condition

which may suggest health hazard

Multiple Causation theory

-Health conditions result from a multitude of factors which must be analyuzed and understood in terms of relationship

Pie chart -

. It shows "part-whole" relationship.

Community Diagnosis

A statement of the health and health-related problems of the community of which have a high risk of developing, and the possible causes or causative organisms and the contributory factors.

Community Diagnosis:

Analyze and seek explanations for the occurrence of health needs and problems of the community

Determining the objectives Defining the study population Determining the data to be collected Collecting the data 5. Developing the Instrument 6. Actual data gathering 7. Data collation 8. Data presentation
