    Assessment of Community Health Needs

    Uploaded by

    Wang Ming Ya
    A community diagnosis involves collecting data about a community to identify factors influencing health, formulate nursing diagnoses, and develop interventions. It can be comprehensive, assessing general information, or problem-oriented, responding to a specific need. The process involves preparatory, implementation, and evaluation phases including data collection, analysis, and prioritizing health problems. Biostatistics examines demography through census data and vital statistics like birth and death rates to assess community health. The health care system addresses community needs through primary, secondary and tertiary services. Assessing a national health situation involves examining health indices and the health sector's goals and strategies.

    ASSESSMENT OF

    COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS

    COMMUNITY DIAGNOSIS
    -

    A process by which the nurse collects data about


    the community
    in order to identify factors which may influence the
    deaths and illnesses of the population,
    to formulate a community health nursing diagnosis
    and develop and implement community health
    nursing interventions and strategies

    Evaluation Phase

    BIOSTATISTICS
    A. Demography
    -study of population size, composition
    and spatial distribution as affected by
    births, deaths and migration.
    * Sources:
    Census complete enumeration of the
    population

    2 WAYS OF ASSIGNING PEOPLE


    De

    jure
    - People were assigned to the place
    where they usually live regardless of
    where they are at the time of census.
    De facto
    - People were assigned to the place
    where they are physically present at the
    time of census, regardless, of their usual
    place of residence.

    COMPONENTS:
    Population

    size
    Population composition
    * Age Distribution
    * Sex Ratio
    * Population Pyramid
    * Median age
    - age below which 50% of the population fall and
    above which 50% of the population fall. The lower
    the median age, the younger the population (high
    fertility, high death rates).
    * Age Dependency Ratio
    used as an index of age-induced economic drain
    on human resources

    * Other characteristics:
    - occupational groups
    - economic groups
    - educational attainment
    - ethnic groups

    POPULATION DISTRIBUTION
    * Urban-Rural
    - shows the proportion of people living in urban
    compared to the rural areas
    * Crowding Index
    - indicates the ease by which a communicable
    disease can be transmitted from 1 host to another
    susceptible host.

    * Population Density
    - determines congestion of the place

    B. VITAL STATISTICS
    - the application of statistical measures to
    vital events (births, deaths and common
    illnesses) that is utilized to
    gauge the levels of health, illness and health
    services of a community.

    No. of persons examined at the same given time

    HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM


    the totality of all policies, facilities,
    equipments, products, human resources
