CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Rationale
The Department of Healths ultimate vision and mission is the health for all Filipinos by ensuring
accessibility and quality of the health care to improve the quality of life for all Filipinos especially the
poor. This is a consonance to the right of every individual to realize his birthright of health and longevity
(Reyala et al, 2000).
At the municipal level the health development structure include personnel who are graduates of
an accredited school of their respective professions, passed the board examination and probably secured
their license to practice and perform their respective tasks considering the dos and donts or laws
covered by their profession. This Health Care Providers are intended to bridge the gap between DOH
services and communities. It is important to remember that this bridge spans not only different beliefs and
experiences but also different social organizations (Kahssay, 1998).
Our Health Care Providers include medical practitioners, Public health nurses, sanitary
inspectors, and the midwives. The said practitioners which are one who are also accountable in guiding
the community about managing their health regardless of culture, is thought to play an important role in
uplifting the health care delivery system for the people in the community. They reflect on the needs of the
people and help them to look after its health.
There may be variation of the tasks of the Health care Personnel, but in general, they serve as
planners, managers or supervisors, coordinator of services, health educators, and detect deviation from
health of individuals, families, and groups of the community through contact or visit with them.
Furthermore, they also motivates changes in health behavior of individuals, family, groups, and
community including lifestyle in order to promote and maintain health, and serve as a good example or
model of healthful living to the public community.
There are two levels of Primary Health Care workers that have been identified. First is the Village
or Barangay Health Workers (V/BHWs) which refers to the trained community health workers or health
auxiliary volunteer or a traditional birth attendant or healer. The other one are the intermediate level
health workers which composed of general medical practitioners or their assistants, Public Health Nurse,
Rural sanitary Inspectors and the Midwives (Reyala et al, 2000) who will be the focus of this study.

Midwives refer to people who, having been regularly admitted to a midwifery educational
program that is duly recognized in the country in which it is located, has successfully completed the
prescribed course of studies in midwifery and has acquired the requisite qualifications to be registered
and/or legally licensed to practice midwifery. The educational program may be an apprenticeship, a
formal university or a combination.
The Midwife is recognized as a responsible and accountable professional who works in
partnership with women to give the necessary support, care and advice during pregnancy, labor until
postpartum period, to conduct births on the midwifes own responsibility and to provide care for the
infant. This care includes preventive measures, promotion of normal birth, the detection of complications
in mother and child and accessing of medical or other appropriate assistance and the carrying out of
emergency measures.
The Midwives have an important task in health counseling and education, not only for woman,
but also within the family and community. This work should involve antenatal education and preparation
for parenthood and may extend to womens health, sexual or reproductive health and childcare.
The midwife is also considered as the front liners of the health care team. They are the one who
are in contact with the people in the community where in they assessing needs and problems to be
addressed to the right agencies of the government who can help them regarding their concerns. Based on
their job description, they are the one who gives care to the whole community because they renders direct
care to the normal pregnant women during pregnancy until the end of puerperium as well as to normal
labor infant.
The quality of services received by the community people also greatly depends on the effectiveness of the
midwives in rendering them. The researchers are concerned whether the people of selected Barangay of
Bambang Nueva Vizcaya are really acquiring the services they deserve to receive from midwives and so
this research of the effectiveness of midwives in delivering primary health care services will be
conducted.

Definition of Terms
Midwives - are autonomous practitioners who are specialists in low-risk pregnancy, childbirth, and the
postpartum stage. They generally strive to help women to have a healthy pregnancy and natural birth
experience. Midwives are trained to recognize and deal with deviations from the norm. Obstetricians, in
contrast, are specialists in illness related to childbearing and in surgery. The two professions can be
complementary, but often are at odds because obstetricians are taught to actively manage labor, while
midwives are taught not to intervene unless necessary.
Primary Health Care - as defined by the World Health Organization, is essential health care made
universally accessible to individuals and families in the community by means acceptable to them, through
their full participation and at a cost that the community and country can afford at every stage. Its goal is
health for all Filipinos and health in the hands of the people by the year 2020 and its mission is to
strengthen the health care system by increasing opportunities and supporting the conditions wherein
people will manage their own health care.
Community Organizing Participatory Research - is a collective, participatory, transformative,
liberative, sustained and systematic process of building people's organizations by mobilizing and
enhancing the capabilities and resources of the people for the resolution of their issues and concerns
towards affecting change in their existing oppressive and exploitative conditions (1994 National Rural
Conference). It is continuous and sustained process of educating the people to understand and develop
their critical awareness of their existing condition, working with the people collectively and efficiently
on their immediate and long-term problems, and mobilizing the people to develop their capability and
readiness to respond and take action on their immediate needs towards solving their long-term problems
(CO: A Manual of experience, PCPD).
Conceptual Framework
The effectiveness of midwives in rendering primary health care services depends upon their age,
civil status, monthly income, length of service as midwives and number of trainings or seminars attended.

systemone that is community based. The shift from institutional to community based care brings
changes in the roles and responsibilities of health care providers (Kozier, 2004).
At the municipal level the health development structure include personnel who are graduates of
an accredited school of their respective professions, passed the board examination and probably secured
their license to practice and perform their respective tasks considering the dos and donts or laws
covered by their profession. This Health Care Providers are intended to bridge the gap between DOH

in mother and child and accessing of medical or other appropriate assistance and the carrying out of
emergency measures.
The Midwives have an important task in health counseling and education, not only for woman,

The quality of services received by the community people also greatly depends on the
effectiveness of the midwives in rendering them. The researchers are concerned whether the people of
selected Barangay of Bambang Nueva Vizcaya are really acquiring the services they deserve to receive
from midwives and so this research of the effectiveness of midwives in delivering primary health care
services will be conducted.
The Midwives
Midwifery is a health care profession in which providers give prenatal care to expecting mothers,
attend the birth of the infant, and provide postpartum care to the mother and her infant. A practitioner of
midwifery is known as a midwife, a term used in reference to both women and men. In the United States,
nurse-midwives are advance practice nurses (nurse practitioners). In addition to giving care to women in
connection with pregnancy and birth, they also provide primary care to women, well-women care
(gynecological annual exams), family planning, and menopause care.
Midwives refer women to obstetricians when a pregnant woman requires care beyond the
midwives area of expertise. In many jurisdictions, these professions work together to provide care to
childbearing women. In others, only the midwife is available to provide care. Midwives are trained to
handle certain situations that are considered abnormal, including breech births and posterior position,
using non invasive techniques. (http://en.wikepedia.org/wiki/midwifery).
A midwife as a person who, having been regularly admitted to a midwifery educational program
that is duly recognized in the country in which it is located, has successfully completed the prescribedcourse of studies in midwifery and has acquired the requisite qualifications to be registered and/or legally
licensed to midwifery. The educational program may be an apprenticeship, a formal university program,
or a combination. The midwife is recognized as a responsible and accountable professional who works in
partnership with women to give the necessary support, care and advice during pregnancy, labor and the
postpartum period, to conducts births on the midwives own responsibility and to provide care for the

infant. This care includes preventive measures, the promotion of formal birth, the detection of
complications in mother and child, accessing of medical or other appropriate assistance and the carrying
out of emergency measures. The midwife has an important task in health counseling an education, not
only for the woman, but also within the family and community. This work should involve antenatal
education and preparation for parenthood and may extend to womens health, sexual or reproductive
health and childcare. A midwife may practice in any setting including in the home, the community,
hospitals, clinics or health units. (International Confederation of Midwives).
Midwifery. The word brings to mind a pregnant women in a softly lit room, laboring with intent,
touched and tended by gentle women who are experienced and wise in the ways of labor and birth. One
role of midwives is to protect the sanctity of birth and to honor and cherish women both as they strive to
bring forth new life and throughout their lives.
(http://www.midwiferytoday.com/articles/MidwiferyLegacy.asp)
Functions of Midwife
The main function of a midwife is to provide support and care to women during labor and
delivery. However, midwives today dont just attend birthsthey offer many types of gynecologic care.
Midwives can:
y Perform gynecological exams
y Help with preconception planning
y Provide prenatal care
y Assist during labor and delivery
y Offer guidance with breastfeeding and other newborn care issues
y Help women who are going through menopause
Midwives have a different philosophy than doctorsthey want the women they work with to
make their own decisions about the birthing experience. Women have reported that they are more
satisfied about their ability to make decisions when they are assisted by a midwife a opposed to
an obstetrician. Although midwives are trained to provide medical assistance when necessary,
they prefer to avoid interventions, such as forceps and C-sections delivery.

Difference Between Midwives and Physicians
y SKILLS: Physicians receive an MD while midwife training is comparable to a nursing
background. Only physicians can perform surgery such as cesarean delivery.
-
8/8/2019 toto na daw
11/31
11
y FINANCIAL INCENTIVES: Physicians have a financial incentive to recommend
cesareans since they will reap the financial rewards of performing the surgery. Since
midwives do not receive any compensation from surgery, they may be more likely to
look out for the best interest of the patient.
y ATTITUDE TOWARD CHILDBIRTH: The midwifery model of care views birth as a
natural process and gives the mother more input toward shaping the birth experience. The
physicians medial approach ..highlights the risk of childbirth, viewing the event as
inherently medical, even pathological, requiring hospital admission and technological
intervention. (http//healthcare-economist.com)

To achieve the goal of Primary Health Care which is health for all Filipinos and health in the
hands of the people by the year 2020, the following strategies were set: reorientation and reorganization
of the national health Care system with the establishment of functional support mechanism in support
of the mandate of devolution under the Local Government Code of 1991; effective preparation and
enabling process for health action at all levels; mobilization of the people to know their communities
and identifying their basic health needs with the end in view of providing appropriate solutions leading
to self-reliance and self determination; development and utilization of appropriate technology focusing
on local indigenous resources available in and acceptable by the community; organization of the
communities arising from their expressed needs which they have to decide to address and that this is
continually evolving in pursuit of their own development ; increase opportunities for community
participation in local level planning, management, monitoring and evaluation within the context of
regional and national objectives; development of intra-sectoral linkages with other government and
private agencies so that programs of the health sectoral is closely linked with those of other socio-
economic sectors at the national, intermediate and community levels; emphasizing partnership so that the
health workers and the community leaders/members view each other as a partners rather than merely
providers and receiver of health care respectively. The frame work for meeting the goal of primary health
care is organizational strategy, which calls for active and continuing partnership among the communities,
private and government agencies in health development ( Reyala, 2000).
Using a Team Work Approach
Different categories of health personnel must learn to work together, since the different categoriesare trained separately; they are not always prepared to work effectively in health care teams. To do so,
health workers need training in working with each other care providers. The teamwork approach will lay
the foundation for increase solidarity and respect among health care workers. They will realize that they
are interdependent but they share responsibilities and need to act frequently.
At district and community levels, inter-sectoral coordination is an important pillar of primary
health care. Given the multiple causes of health and disease, the team concept must be expanded even
beyond health care workers. To enhance the understanding of development and to strengthen preventive
and promotive activities , community teams should include workers from sectors such as agriculture,
water supply and education.
Primary health care services exist to improve the health of individuals and communication;
participation of these individuals and communities in their own health care is essential in improving
health outcomes (Kahssay,1998).

Community Organizing Participatory Research (COPAR)
COPAR is an important tool for community development and people empowerment as this helps
the community workers to generate community participation in development activities. It prepares
people/clients to eventually take over the management of a development program s in the future. It also
maximizes community participation and involvement; community resources are mobilized for community
services.
COPAR is based on the principles that people, especially the most oppressed, exploited and
deprived sectors are open to change, have the capacity to change and are able to bring about change. It
should be based on the interest of the poorest sectors of society and should lead to a self-reliant
community and society.
It involves a progressive cycle of action-reflection action which begins with small, local and
concrete issues identified by the people and the evaluation and the reflection of and on the action taken by
them. It places emphasis on learning that emerges from concrete action and which enriches succeeding
action. It is participatory and mass-based because it is primarily directed towards and biased in favor of
the poor, the powerless and oppressed. It is also group-centered and not leader-oriented. Leaders are
identified, emerge and are tested through action rather than appointed or selected by some external force
or entity (http://nursingcrib.com/community-organizing -participatory-researh-copar/).
The COPAR process has four phases. First is the pre-entry phase which is the initial phase of the
organizing process where the community/organizer looks for the communities to serve/help. It is
considered the simplest phase in terms of actual outputs, activities and strategies and time spent for it.
Activities include designing a plan for community development including all its activities and strategies
for care development, designing criteria for the selection of site and actually selecting the site for
community care.
The second phase is the entry phase sometimes called the social preparation phase as to the
activities done here includes the sensitization of the people on the critical events in their life, innovating
them to share their dreams and ideas on how to manage their concerns and eventually mobilizing them to
take collective action on these. This phase signals the actual entry of the community work/organizer intothe community. She /He must be guided by the following guidelines however.
1. Recognizes the role of authorities by paying them visits to inform them of their presence and
activities.
2. The appearance, speech, behavior and lifestyle should be in keeping with those of the community
residents without disregard or their being role models.
-
8/8/2019 toto na daw
15/31

3. Avoid raising the consciousness of the community residents; adopt a low-key profile.
The third phase is the organization building phase which entails the formation of more formal
structures and the inclusion of more formal procedures of planning, implementation and evaluating
community-wide activities. It is at this phase where the organized leaders or groups are being given
training (formal, informal, OJT) to develop their skills and in managing their own concerns/programs.
The fourth phase is the sustenance and strengthening phase which occurs when the community
organization has already been established and the community members are already actively participating
in community-wide undertakings. At this point, the different communities setup in the organization
building phase are already expected to be functioning by way of planning, implementing and evaluating
their own programs with the overall guidance from the community wide organization. Strategies used
may include education and training; networking and linkaging; conduct of mobilization on health and
development concerns; implementing of livelihood projects; and developing secondary leaders(http://nursingcrib.com/phases-of-the-copar-process/

Total 11 100%
Table 2 shows the frequency and percent distribution of the Midwives according toage. It can be seen that most of the midwives are from ages 51 -55. It can also be
noted that only 2 midwives belongs to the extreme age range of 36-40 and 56-60which means that only few midwives are very young and very old, most midwives
are in late adulthood stage.

Total 11 100%
Table 3 shows that all of the respondent midwives are married. This implies that a great number
of midwives divide their time and responsibility in dealing with their families and in dealing with
their job as health workers. Their responsibility as married person could pose a bearing in their
effectiveness as midwives. The result, however, needs to be tested if there is a correlationbetween the result and their level of effectiveness as midwives.

Table 5 shows the effectiveness of midwives in rendering primary health care as evaluated by the
community residents in the area of functioning as a coordinator of health services. It can be seen
that the community residents evaluated the midwives as effective in the role as a coordinator of
health. In their role as coordinator of service, they are effective in participating in determining
health needs of individual, families, and the community; assisting in planning and organizing the
Clinic in his/ her Barangay health station; preparing monthly schedule of activities in
coordination with the Physician, Nurse, Sanitary Inspector, and other Health.

community residents in the area of functioning as a heath care provider. Based from the table the
midwives are effective in obtaining clinical history and administering emergency and therapeutic
measures based in the standing orders while they are moderately effective in performing simple
routine physical and lab exam. This implies that some instruments for simple laboratory
examinations are lacking in the community therefore the midwives neither can nor perform this
task at the most effective level. Overall evaluation on this area shows that they are effective as
health care provider.

Table 13 shows the effectiveness of midwives in the seven areas of functioning; as coordinator
of health services, community organizer, health care provider, health monitor, health educator,
and supervisor/ manager, as evaluated by the midwives themselves. The table reveals that the
midwives evaluated their performance as very effective in all aspect of functioning. This will
possibly imply that they do most of the job related to their role as midwives which satisfy their
definition of very effective. The self-evaluation reveals that midwives are satisfied in their
performance and that they evaluated themselves as very effective. This could also possibly mean
that they uplift they effectiveness though more researches should be done to prove it so.

variable. It can be derive from the table that age, length of service and trainings attended have no
