COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING II
Community Assessment
• the data needed to be collected depend on
the objectives of community assessment.
• In general, the nurse needs to collect data on
three categories of community health.
• Determinants:
• people,
• place and
• social system.
 DATA COLLECTED WILL BE
USED FOR THE HEALTH
P.A.T.C.H
(Planed Approach To Community
Health)
PROCESS FOR HEALTH
PLANING
1. Community Profile: demographic
educational and economic data
2. Morbidity and Mortality data, including
unique health events(e.g., completion of
barangay health station, a typhoon that
caused flooding of residential areas)
PROCESS FOR HEALTH
PLANING
3. Behavioral Data focusing on behavioral
risk factors, such as smoking, drinking
and leading a sedentary life style, and
prevailing good health practices in the
community, such as breast feeding and
getting regular exercise
4. Opinion data from community leaders,
such as what they think about the main
health problems of the community their
causes, measures that may alleviate or
correct them
