Health Promotion: Philippines By Brooke Edwards, Daphne Fitzpatrick, Emily Mortenson, and Hope Oudbier

The Philippines Location Population Poverty Access Education Safe Water Healthcare

Health Belief Model Perception Prevention Education Benefits Barriers

Health Problems “Triple Burden” of disease Living on under $2/day Low vaccination rates HIV epidemic Life expectancy: Female: 72 Male: 65

Nursing Diagnoses Risk for infection related to deficient knowledge to avoid exposure to pathogens evidence by bacterial gastroenteritis among the population. Risk for non-communicable disease related to lifestyle choice and knowledge deficit.

Nursing Diagnoses (cont.) Risk for infection related to limited defenses against pathogens. Deficient knowledge related to limited education and access to contraception

Food Preparation Safety Hand Hygiene Clean Surfaces Cleaning Fruits And Vegetables Cook meats through entirely Wash surfaces after preparing raw meats Use Purified water for everything

Clean Water ●Over 30 million people in the Philippines do not have access to improved sanitation facilities ●Out of this, 7.8 million people, or roughly 8 percent of the country's population don't have access to sanitation facilities at all ●This leads to open defecation

What Can WE Do? Water Purification Education: Boiling water for minutes kills 99.9% of all living things and vaporizes most chemicals Education: Incorporating this simple yet important important information in the school system Hold clinics with demonstrations on how to purify water With using filters and having more access to clean water children should be able to have cloth diapers leading to better control of feces Sewage management

Non-Communicable Diseases Accountable for more than half of deaths Are preventable through lifestyle changes Heart and vascular problems a third of all deaths. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Diabetes Mellitus Malignant neoplasm Hypertension exacerbates many diseases

Hypertension Hospital admissions Treatment reduces disease risks PhilHealth coverage Lifestyle changes need to be made

Lifestyle Changes Tobacco Diet changes Physical activity

Communicable Disease 8 of the 10 leading causes of morbidity in 2008 Acute lower respiratory tract infection and pneumonia, acute watery diarrhea, bronchitis/broncholitis, influenza, tuberculosis, malaria, acute febrile illness and dengue fever

Malaria A parasitic mosquito-borne disease that causes fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms Causes severe complications and fatality if left untreated. 74% decrease in the number of cases Possible eradication by ,552 cases were reported in 2012

Eradication of Malaria Vector control Surveillance Early diagnosis and treatment Health education

Maternal and Pediatric Health Care Maternal Mortality (Goodwin) % attendance of skilled birth attendant (Goodwin) Deficient Knowledge

Problems Affecting Maternal Healthcare Implementations to help maternal education Bill and Melinda Gates foundation (Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health) Armed conflict and how it affects maternal health (Goodwin)

Conclusion By 2020 we will have these goals accomplished Well known water purification methods Evidence of proper food preparation safety Evidence of decreased hypertension by lifestyle changes Decreased prevalence of communicable disease due to increased defences 30% maternal health clinics and 25% increased skilled birth attendants
