PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter deals with the presentation, analysis, and interpretation of the

gathered data in the study.

This section presents the data that they gathered from their respondent’s

participation in the following programs that Barangay Buhaynasapa offered for their

residents and those programs are the following: Child Immunization Program,

Maternal and Child Health Program, Barangay Nutrition Program, Anti-Dengue

Program and Barangay Census Program.

mean of the extent of participation in Child Immunization Program.

As the table 1, shows the respondents agree that the child immunization

program is essential for protecting children from preventable disease. Achieving

the weighted mean 3.06 which is the highest mean above all. For instance, the

respondents of barangay buhaynasapa are in agreement with the two programs and

have a weighted mean of 2.94, which is the second highest.

It shows that child immunization program professionals are reliable and able to

interact with patients. It is significant for the residents because child immunization

helps to avoid disease's and viruses.(Whitney, Zhou, Singleton, & Schuchat, 2014)

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 introduced the Vaccines for

Children (VFC) program in 1994 to ensure that financially disadvantaged children

receive essential vaccines and are protected from vaccine-preventable diseases. The
program aimed to address the problem of uninsured infants missing timely

immunizations.

In general, the respondents have a practical view in terms of child immunization

program. With the composite mean of 2.94, it can be clearly interpreted that the child

immunization program is very important to the residents of barangay buhaynasapa to

prevent children from getting any diseases or viruses. A child immunization program

vaccination in any country.

The public-private partnerships that underpin the US immunization system

comprise federal agencies, state and local health departments, tribal nations and
organizations, pharmacies, healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and a

plethora of other stakeholders. (Roper, Hall, & Cohn, 2021).

1.2 Maternal and Child Health Program. The Maternal and Child Health

of the respondents agree with item number 4 which states that the information and

education provided by the maternal and child healthcare program are clear and

accessible to community members and it has gained a weighted mean of 3.11.

In contrast, the barangay respondents got the lowest 2.89 weighted mean. This

shows the Maternal and Child Healthcare Program provides essential services for

pregnant wowen and children in our community.

This probably encompasses a range of health-related, nutritional, and educational

services designed to support moms throughout their pregnancies and the early years of

their children's lives. Mekonnen et, al., (2019), Pregnancy during adolescence poses

higher risks for the mother and the baby, and the utilization of maternity care to

mitigate the effects is low. This review aimed to synthesize evidence on adolescent

mothers’ utilization of maternity care and identify the key determinant factors that

influence adolescent mothers’ engagement with maternity care.

This conforms to the idea of Candelario (2022), highlights the need to revisit and

refine the PPAN to respond to the changing nature of malnutrition in the country. The

remaining shortcomings in the PPAN's planning, implementation, and monitoring are

explored along with suggestions to fill them.

 On the contrary, the respondents concur that providing information to the

government is crucial for enabling for them to be productive people living in

Barangay Buhaynasapa. achieving the second-to-lowest weighted mean of 3.11

among all of them. This suggests that the people living in Barangay Buhaynasapa are

in agreement that the Barangay Nutrition Program will be a great assistance to both

information in the planning, management and evaluation of several community

nutrition programmes judged to be successful. The programmes come from Tanzania

(Iringa), India (Tamil Nadu), Dominican Republic and Colombia.

program ensured easy access to resources like insect repellents, bed nets, and

educational materials about dengue prevention.

In addition, the barangay respondents got the lowest 2.83 weighted mean. This

This probably encompasses a range that Anti-Dengue has had a positive impact

on reducing the incidence of dengue in their community. Data on dengue

seroprevalence are helpful for determining how to execute dengue control strategies,

and analyzing epidemiologic trends, and transmission dynamics. (Lopez AL, 2021) A
logistical challenge to seroprevalence surveys is the collection and transport of serum

samples. It explains the Implementation of dengue control programs.

In general, the table shows that the respondents are all agreeing in terms of Anti-

Dengue Program. With the composite mean of 3.01 which is agreed by the

respondents. That means that the respondents have a positive Anti-Dengue Program.

This result correspond to, Dengue viruses have spread quickly within nations and

across continents, increasing the frequency of epidemics and severe dengue disease.

(Harris 2014) It explains that dengue is regarded as the most rampant and rapidly

spreading mosquito-borne viral disease of human beings. They conducted this study

to see an upsurge in dengue virology, pathogenesis, and immunology and new vector-

control strategies that can positively impact dengue control and prevention in

Barangay.

a program that contains important records and manages information and at the same

The focus of this article is on an innovative strengths-based child protection effort

initiated in Beaufort, South Carolina, that involved working through local systems and

structures to enhance child well-being. Specifically, the program was a school-health

partnership that sought to modify services provided to low-resource families to

Fortuna (1017) Latina immigrant women are vulnerable to traumatic stress and
sexual health disparities. Without autonomy over their reproductive health and related
decision-making, reproductive justice is elusive. We analyzed behavioral health data
from 175 Latina immigrant participants (M age = 35; range = 18–64) of the
International Latino Research Partnership (ILRP) study. We used descriptive and
inferential statistics to compare immigrant mothers of minor children to those without,
regarding their psychological and reproductive health, and correlates of past exposure
to sexual trauma. Over one third (38%) of ILRP participants had minor children, and
58% had citizenship in their host country.

It is congruent to the idea of Fran (2022) that in order to achieve good and quality

health care services the facilities must be proper and the facilities must be well-

maintained and well-equipped.

prominent challenge (weighted mean: 3.00). This implies that respondents see the

availability of medical supplies as a critical factor affecting the effective

implementation of health services in their barangay. Issues related to the healthcare

workforce also emerge as noteworthy concerns.
