       interests living together within
       a territory or geographical
       boundary


     – place where people under
       usual conditions are found

             physical, mental,
             and social well-
             being and not
             merely the absence
             of disease and
             infirmity (WHO,
             1995).

What is Health?
 •It carries the mandate that health is a
 basic human right.

 •It is seen as a spectrum or a continuum

•The modern concept of health refers to
Optimum Level of Functioning (OLOF) of
individuals, families, and communities, which is
influenced by the ecosystem through a myriad
of factors.
12/05/12                            7
What influences OLOF?
• Behavioral (culture, habits, mores, ethnic customs)

• Socio-economic (employment, education, housing)

• Political (safety, oppression, people, empowerment)

• Hereditary (genetic endowment, familial, racial)

• Health Care Delivery System (promotive, preventive,
  curative, rehabilitative)

• Environment (air, food, water, wastes, noise, radiation,
  pollution, congestion)
3. What is Nursing?

   The diagnosis and treatment
    of human responses to actual
    or potential health problems
    (ANA, 1980).

   Nursing, together with public
    health, is one of the helping
    professions in the health care
    system which operates at
    three levels of clientele –
    individuals, families or groups,
    and communities




12/05/12                               9

 to achieve, maintain, or recover a high
 level of functioning.
Assisting sick individuals to become
 healthy and healthy individuals achieve

C. EPIDEMIOLOGY

     – The study of distribution of disease or
       physiologic condition among human
       population s and the factors affecting such
       distribution


     – The study of the occurrence and distribution
       of health conditions such as disease, death,
       deformities or disabilities on human
       populations
12/05/12                                              77
Basic Concepts:

     – Epidemiologic Triad
     – Transmission
     – Incubation period
     – Herd immunity




12/05/12                     78
Factors affecting distribution:

• PERSON
     – intrinsic characteristics
• PLACE
     – extrinsic factors
• TIME
     – temporal patterns

12/05/12                           79
Patterns of Disease Occurrence:
• Epidemic
     – a situation when there is a high incidence of new cases of a
       specific disease in excess of the expected.
     – when the proportion of the susceptible are high compared to the
       proportion of the immunes
• Epidemic potential
     – an area becomes vulnerable to a disease upsurge due to causal
       factors such as climatic changes, ecologic changes, or socio-
       economic changes




12/05/12                                                             80
• Endemic
     – habitual presence of a disease in a given geographic location
       accounting for the low number of both immunes and susceptible
           e.g. Malaria is a disease endemic at Palawan.
     – the causative factor of the disease is constantly available or
       present to the area.
• Sporadic
     – disease occurs every now and then affecting only a small
       number of people relative to the total population
     – intermittent
• Pandemic
     – global occurrence of a disease




12/05/12                                                                81
