population with anatomical traits that distinguish it clearly from other races.

11. Regional origin – could be Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, or per region if you want to be

specific12.Primary Dialect Spoken – primary dialect used by the family

13. Patterns of Migration – determine whether there is a large number of in-migration or out-migrationin the community as well as the reasons behind the trends. Determine if transient or permanentTransient: below 6 months; Permanent: 6 months above

14. Disadvantaged People – these are people or groups of people who have special needs in terms o

basic health needs and services, and not necessarily financial in nature (ostracized groups likerefugees, tribes, OSY etc.)- individuals or group of individuals who are considered economically, physically and socially

disadvantaged. These include needy family heads and other needy adults, indigent children, out-of

school youths, physically and mentally disabled persons, distressed individuals and families, and

disadvantaged children.

Population Density – will determine how congested a place is and has implications in terms of the adequacyof basic health services present in the community. It can be computed by dividing the number of people livingin a given land area. Total land area, area per  purok 

Population density: land area (sq. km)___ x 100Total population

Compute population density per purok if barangay has puroks.

15. Population Projection – important in establishing what services and health programs to implemen

and strengthen. For example, in the event that current trends in birth and death rates would lead toa dramatic increase in the population, the community can strengthen their program on maternal andchild care, and immunization programs to cater to the young population, at the same time launchingprograms on family planning to control the growth of population.

16. Urban-Rural Index (if applicable) – determine as to what percent of the community can be

that are too old, that is, generally, individuals under the age of 15 and over the age of 65. The productive par

makes up the gap in between (ages 15 - 64).

II.COMMUNITY AS A PLACEEnvironment1. Spot map 

should be oriented to the Northhouseholds (should be numbered accdg to control number in the survey tool for easy reference, case

finding, contact tracing)

Determine total number of households

Households:

Family:geographical boundariesroads, bridges, arcs (if present)significant landmarksinstitutional facilities (health center, brgy hall, church, hospitals, market, talipapa, recreational facilities

water district, municipal hall,schools, etc)topography (mountains, bodies of water, etc)

• Provide legends for easy reference. Legends should be simple and easy to recognize.

• Important landmarks/facilities should be labeled with their actual names, not just as “school”or “street”, for example)

• Distances among households, facilities, roads, etc should be realistic and proportioned toestablish areas of congestion or proximity)

3. Areas that contribute to vector problems4. Terrain characteristics that poses hazards5. History of the barangay6. Climate (year-round) and occurrence of sickness and illness7. Presence of air and water pollution

8/8/2019 33314130 Operational Definition Final Feu

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/33314130-operational-definition-final-feu 4/10

1. Occupation / Livelihood / Other sources of Income - The types and place of occupations of the

members of the family are to be identified. The data to be gathered is exhaustive (meaning therecan be a variety of answers and not just limited to 3 to 5 as what is common in other items), thusthe students must learn how to categorize data upon reaching data organization/collation. Thisdata will also determine the proportion of salary/wage-earners to the economically activepopulation, and other means of earning a living, if not working.

i. Occupation - with employer 

a. Employed (regular and contractual)

b. Unemployedc. Underemployed (as defined above)

ii. Livelihood – example are sari-sari store, hog raising etc 

2.  House and Land Ownership - This will reveal whether the family owns/rents or leases the house

in which they live.

3.  Family monthly income and expenditure - Income of all earners in the family should be known

to get the families’ monthly income. Variables should be mutually exclusive. Also identify family’smonthly expenditure.

4. Prioritization of expenditures - The family’s monthly expenditures should be ranked according to

their budget allocation. It will reflect how much the family is willing to spend on health care.

5. Resources allotted to healthcare - Resources allotted to health care, such as savings and health

insurance, give an idea on how the family values their health. It shows how prepared they are tomeet basic health care needs, especially during emergencies.

D. Health Aspect1. Environmental 

a. Housing:a.1 construction materials: 

light – bamboo, nipa, coconut leaves, sawali, etcstrong – predominantly concretemixed – combination of light materials, wood or concrete

a.2 adequacy of living space:Adequacy of living space = 1 individual : 6 square metersTo measure the degree of inadequacy of space

a.3 ventilation: means of providing currents of fresh air (for purifying, curing, refreshing) and expelling

stagnant or foul air Ask for family’s perception of air circulation inside the house, provided that the CO worker adequatelyexplains what ventilationis 1. well- ventilated or 2. poorly ventilated

** Ventilation is not essentially dependent on the number or size of windows in relation to total flooarea, but of the adequacy of circulation of fresh air. Windows may always be shut, or there may be nowindows present at all. There may be other openings in the room/house as means for fresh air toenter such as the doors, the spaces in between bamboo slats (as flooring/ walls), spaces between theroofing and the walls, etc.** This is a subjective data. As much as possible we would like the students to interview the familiesinsi de the house to validate their responses. However, we are also guided by one of the mainprinciples of CO - that we have BASIC TRUST IN THE COMMUNITY PEOPLE. In cases when the

family says it is well-ventilated and the CO worker thinks otherwise, it may be an indication of thewrong perception of the family regarding ventilation or the probable unawareness as to theimportance of having adequate ventilation, etc. which in turn may indirectly affect their health.

a.4 lighting facilities: artificial means of providing light / illumination. Facilities used already reflecadequacy and safety for the family. Ex. Electricity, kerosene, candles, none

b. Source and storage of water  

b.1 sources (raw water point source)

8/8/2019 33314130 Operational Definition Final Feu

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/33314130-operational-definition-final-feu 5/10

Surface water – derived from streams, brooks, rivers; subjects to seasonal availability and aresubjects to contamination if untreated

- usual water source of public water supplies. Public water supplies have the surfacewater treated to meet

acceptable standards.Ground water – wells and springs

Wells – either dug, driven, bored or drilled for the purpose of obtaining water dependingupon the construction and depth of water to be reached. Method of construction dependson the geological formation through which the well is to pass.

Dug and driven – soft ground/ sand and gravel, for wells with depth of less than100 feet

Bored and drilled – hard rocky grounds, with depths of more than 100 ftDeep wells or artesian wells – depth of more than 100 feet

Springs – groundwater seepages which are created when the level of underground watercomes in contact with the surface. Contamination occurs at the point of seepage.Rainwater  – basically free from impurities. However contamination may occur at thecollection and storage points, and by air pollution (ex. Acid rain)

For data collation:Approved types of water supply facilities: (DOH book p315)

  Level I ( point source) - a protected well or a developed spring with an outlet but without a

distribution system, generally adaptable for rural areas where the houses are thinlyscattered. A Level I facility normally serves an average of 15 households. Farthesthousehold not more 25O meters

Level II (communal faucet system or standposts) - a system composed of a source, a

reservoir, a piped distribution network, and communal faucets. Usually, one faucet serves 4to 6 households. Generally suitable for rural and urban fringe areas where houses are

clustered densely to justify a simple piped system. Should not be located more than 25

meters from the farthest house

Level III (waterworks system or individual house connections) - a system with a

source, a reservoir, a piped distribution network and household taps. It is generally suited

for densely populated urban areas. Ex Nawasa, Maynilad

b.2. storage: covered, uncovered container 

b.3 household  ways to maintain sanitation of drinking water Boiling – safest and surest way

- should be boiled for at least 2 minutes more after reaching boiling point of 100 degreecelsius to kill all vegetative bacteria, viruses, fungi

- at least 2 minutes as minimum suitable time of boiling water for low level locations andan additional 1 minute per 1000

meters additional elevation. (water boils at higher temp at high altitude)Filtration – done before boiling or disinfecting

- common household filters used in the Phils : sand filters, cloth filters, intermittent waterfilter Sedimentation – impurities in water are allowed to settle at the bottom of the container for 30

minutes - 1 hr and pouringthe top part in a new clean container without creating turbulence

Flocculation and sedimentation – use of aluminum sulfate ( tawas) to form precipitates of theimpurities found in the turbid water and allowing them to settle at the bottom of the container 

Aeration – transferring water from one container to another or by stirring water to createturbulence which in most cases, remove objectionable attributes

Chemical disinfection:Chlorination – normal dose= 1.5 mg / L

8/8/2019 33314130 Operational Definition Final Feu

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/33314130-operational-definition-final-feu 6/10

Disinfection – use of tincture of iodine – 2 drops / LBuying commercially prepared water 

c. Toilet facility (type, ownership, distance form water source)

Terms:Septic tank – a sealed settling chamber receiving all sewage and sullage from a dwellingSullage - domestic waste water not containing excreta (ex. laundry water/bathwater); also called graywater 

** sewage is different from sewerageSewage – human excreta diluted by water, often contains domestic wastewater Sewerage system – provides necessary facilities for the collection of wastewater within the household,institution or commercial establishments into a treatment plant for final disposal making sure that thereceiving water is not polluted

- advantage: excellent health benefits and convenience- disadvantage: requires large amounts of water and very high construction and

maintenance cost

c.1 ownership : private, shared, public

c.2 types:Pail system – a pail or box is used to receive the excreta and disposed later when filled (includes

‘ballot system’ wherein excreta is wrapped in a piece of paper/plastic and thrown later Open pit privy – consists of a pit covered by a platform with a hole. The hole is usually not

covered. The platform may, in its simplest form, consist only of 2 pieces of wood or bambooClosed pit privy – a pit privy in which the hole over the platform or toilet floor is provided with a

cover Bored-hole latrine – consists of a deep (usually more than 10 feet) but relatively narrow (less

than 2 meters in diameter) hole made with a boring equipmentOverhung latrine – toilet house is constructed over a body of water (stream, lake, river) into

which excreta is allowed to fall freelyAntipolo type – toilet house is elevated and the shallow pit is extended upwards to the platform

(toilet floor) by means of a chute or pipe made of metal, clay, aluminum or boardWater sealed latrine – an antipolo type of toilet, bored hole latrine or any pit privy wherein water

sealed toilet bowl is placed instead of the simple platform hole; (+) septic tank

Flush type – a toilet system where waste is disposed by flushing water through pipes (sewers)into a public sewerage system or into an individual disposal system like an individual septictank

Unsanitary methods of excreta disposal:Overhung latrine – contaminates bodies of water Bored hole latrine – attracts flies and other insectsOpen pit privy – emits bad odor Open field/ beaches/ under trees – attracts insects and rats and contaminates water source

c.3. Distance from water source: Toilet facility should at least be 25 meters away from water sourceand at a lower elevation

d. Drainage system

d.1. TypesOpen drainage – wastewater flows through a system of pipes to an open pit or canalBlind drainage – wastewater flows through a system of closed pipes to an underground pit or

covered canalNone – no drainage system. Wastewater flows directly to the ground, oftentimes forming a nearly

permanent pool

d.2. Condition : is wastewater stagnant / free flowing?

e.Refuse disposal and managementTerms:

Refuse – a general term applied to solid / semisolid waste materials other than human excretaGarbage – left over vegetables, animal and fish material from kitchen / food establishments. Thesehave the tendency to decay and give off foul odors and sometimes serve as food for flies, rats, etc

e.1 Types:Hog feeding - garbage is used as hog feed (and also to chicken and other livestock)Open dumping – refuse and/or garbage piled in a dumping place (with or without pit) with no soi

coveringOpen burning - regularly piles refuse / garbage and later burned in open air. This is uncontrolled

burning which is usually done for yard and street sweeping. It may be allowed in rural areaswhere it will not worsen already existing air pollution.

Burial pit – refuse / garbage placed in a pit and covered when filled up. There is no intention todig it up later for use as fertilizer This should be located 25 meters away from any well usedfore water supply.

Composting – involves buying or stacking of alternating layers of organic based refuse/garbageand ‘treated soil’ arranged as to hasten rapid decay and decomposition into compost. Thisorganic mixture can later be used as fertilizer 

Garbage collection

e.2 Management : (community-based)Resource recovery – sorting /collection /marketing of recyclable materials by organized

individuals (eco aides) for domestic/commercial establishments

increase stream velocity to flush out immature stage of mosquito dev’t in the stream banksStream seeding - seeding of at least one stream in each barangay and construction of at leas

one propagation pond per municipalityInformation dissemination / education/ communication campaigns

h.3. Presence of breeding sites
