THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

 

Background of the Study

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) seek to reduce the under-5 child mortality by two thirds and maternal mortality by three-quarters between 1990 and 2015, these goals known as MDG 4 and MDG 5 respectively (UN,2011).  These goals become critical targets for Developing countries which prioritized interventions and national healthspending.Yet meeting MDGs 4 and 5 was remains to be challenging: mortality rates aredecreasing, but not rapidly enough to meet the MDGs in most countries (Hogan et al.,2010; Rajaratman et al.,2010).

In many low-income settings with high burden of maternal deaths, few women use facilities for birth, often choosing a higher risk birth athome, often without professional medical assistance.WHO (2010) stated it was globally recognized that one of the main challenges to achieving the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of a global reduction of maternal death to 75 % by 2015.

Past studies have identified several reasons why women or families opted to choose home-delivery due to number ofaccess barriers in using birthing facilities. Deliveries in health facilities can ensure that women are attended by skilled personnel and link women to the referral system in case of any complications. Increasing the proportion of women who delivers in a health facility can be an important means in reducing maternal mortality

            Globally, an estimated 287,000 maternal deaths occurred in 2010 with Sub Saharan Asia accounting for nearly 85% of the global burden. Evidence base clinical


and preventative interventions aimed at reducing maternal Africa and South and neonatal morbidity and mortalityare well documented. One such intervention is increasing skilled attendance at facility-based deliveries. In the Philippines the MMR is higher than in most other Southeast Asian Countries, and home delivery is a major factor contributing it (WHO, 2010).

            Presently, the Department of Health(DOH) Administrative Order 2008-0029 known as “No Home Birthing Policy”advocates facility-based delivery and women can get timely and correct diagnosis,early intervention, and access to emergency obstetric careunder the supervision of a licensed practitioner in a health facility. It was considered to be a crucial factor in reducing MMR. In 2011, the DOH updated the adopted the policy; called The Maternal, Newborn, Child Health and Nutrition(MNCHN) strategy. Under the devolved health system, which was implemented in 1991, the delivery of health services was transferred from the central agency to local government units (Santos, 2013).

            It was noted that there was no studies conducted on this program particularly in the Municipality of Ipil, thus, the researcher came up with this study. The aimed of this study was to determine the factors affecting compliance and non-compliance to facility-based delivery among mothers, particularly in Barangay Magdaup, Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay. The findings of this investigation served as basis for developing an intervention and promote compliance to facility-based delivery and ultimately reduced maternal mortality.

Teenage Pregnancy Meaning and Conditions

Image
Teenage pregnancy - is defined as a global phenomenon in which pregnancy occured between thirteen and nineteen years of age. The most affected of this phenomenon are developing countries just like Africa, Philippines and other developing countries who are economically poor. World Health Organization says that as of 2019, adolescents aged 15–19 years in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) had an estimated 21 million pregnancies each year, of which approximately 50% were unintended and which resulted in an estimated 12 million births (1)(2). Child marriage and child sexual abuse place girls at increased risk of pregnancy, often unintended. World Health Organization tried to call for humanitarian reason those countries affected so much with this phenomenon.

Interrelationship in the ecosystem

Image
Interrelationship in the ecosystem defined as the interaction of organism in their environment and or making disturbance to  other nearby organisms in their existence. There are four types of interaction of organism and that are mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, and competition in where:  1 . Commensialism – where one of the species lives freely while the other is unaffected of their existence. See the sample picture below: 2. Mutualism – both species benefit and enjoyed their existence and not disturbed. See the sample picture below:l 3. Parasitism – one of the species benefits while the other one is harmed and disturbed. See the sample picture below: 4. Competition – neither of the organism benefits. S ee the sample picture below: The importance of interrelationship in ecosystem are the actions of organisms made within their environment for them to survive for food, shelter, and other needs. Through their uninterrupted actions the ecosystem will function well. I

Significant Social Problem Meaning

Why Poverty and homelessness are put at the most top as social issues? It is quoted that Poverty and homelessness are worldwide problems. It's sad to note that according to Habitat for Humanity, one-quarter of the world's population lives in conditions that harm their health and safety. Many do not have shelter, a basic human need for survival. This social issue also goes beyond the 25%.
