    Maternal mortality is an alarming problem in the Philippines and is usually caused by non-facility based deliveries (NFBD). In 2013, the DOH reported that the province of Iloilo has the highest maternal mortality rate in Western Visayas, and Maasin is located in this province. Among the 50 barangays of Maasin, Brgy. Abay was chosen due to its high cases of NFBD. This study was conducted to improve the knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of women of reproductive age (WRA) towards maternal health and reduce the cases of non-facility based deliveries among pregnant women of Brgy. Abay, Maasin, Iloilo. The KAP of the WRA was improved through a series of lectures in a span of 4 weeks. In order to improve maternal health in Brgy. Abay, the team introduced a smartphone application called iNanay for the use of pregnant women and launched a web server database in the Rural Health Unit (RHU). Both components help in pregnancy monitoring. For the project sustainability, the mothers elected a core team called “KaakABAY”. Smartphones were given to 6 pregnant women in Brgy. Abay and they were taught by the KaakABAY about the features of the application. Since no delivery took place within the six-week immersion, the effectivity of the iNanay app was solely evaluated by tracking the attendance of the pregnant women to their prenatal check-ups that were scheduled within the time of immersion.

    Iloilo province is known to have high cases of teenage pregnancy in the Philippines, with the Municipality of Anilao topping since 2013. The STEP UP Project aims to lower the incidence of teenage pregnancy in Barangay Cag-an, Anilao, Iloilo through a positive developmental approach. It consists of a three-step intervention satisfying four component objectives during the six-week community immersion. Objective one is to organize a core group in both municipal and barangay level for the sustainability of the project which included the Local Government Unit of Anilao, barangay officials, and the teens and parents from the barangay. Objective two is to create a venue where teens can comfortably share their problems and sexuality wherein 13 teen facilitators were trained to aid in various activities planned for the project. Objective three is to increase knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) on teenage pregnancy, adolescent health, and gender issues by 75% and with this, a pretest and posttest was administered to teens and parents to evaluate KAP. This resulted to a 6.97% (15.57-16.76) and 7.96% (17.51-18.91) increase in mean scores of teens and parents, respectively. The mean scores of both teens and parents were found to be statistically different at α 0.05 using paired T-test. Objective four is to help teens build confidence, improve their self-esteem, and persuade them to plan out for the future. Thus, a sports clinic was hosted and Buwas Damlag Fair was organized where different government agencies were invited to inspire the teens to pursue careers in the future. Overall, the project was a success since there is an increase of attendance by the parents and teens on activities and lectures, increase of mean scores in the pretest and posttest, and the objectives set were achieved. Implementation of this project to other barangays in Anilao is highly recommended.

    Project bakunanays: Bakuna ng kabataan ugaliin nang anak ay 'di sakitin
    Acebuque, Jason Clement S.; Cuachon, Anna Nicole O.; Deala, Cari Laurence L.; Esmenos, Arian Claudine F.; Galupo, Bealou Patrishe D.; Jubelag, Carmelli S.; Legayada, Precious Jemimah D.; Namuag, Maulene Mae J.; Palmon, Gladys A.; Salvador, June Luis C.; Sampani, Gian Justin P.; Tolentino, Jimel V.

    Based on the 2016 accomplishment report of the Iloilo Provincial Health Office (PHO) for School-Based Immunization (SBI), the municipality of Pavia performed 50.9% and 84.4% for Measles-Rubella (MR) and Tetanus-diphtheria (Td), respectively. After reviewing the health record of the Municipal Health Office of Pavia, it was found that Ungka II Elementary School had the least compliance. This project aimed to reduce the high refusal rate in MR and Td vaccines from 32.0% to 0- 10.0% among children in the barangay by the end of the field practice. To attain the goal of the project, the following strategic components were implemented: formation of a core group called ImmuniTeam, age-appropriate health education through Wastong BakUNAWA sessions, and promotive and up-to-date immunization campaigns. In addition, a mobile ImmuniStation was constructed and ImmuniStar charts were utilized during the BAKULILITS sessions with the children. The results of the pre-test showed that the mean percentage scores of the children before the intervention was 65% and after the intervention, post-test scores significantly increased to 82% mean score of the children (p value<0.05; 95% confidence level). The knowledge component of the pre-test and post-test for the parents or guardians resulted in a statistically significant 20% increase, resulting to 84% average mean score from the 64% prior to intervention (p value<0.05; 95% confidence level). The attitudes of the respondents registered a 6% increase, which is not statistically significant, resulting to a change in the mean percentage score from 70% to 76% (p value>0.05; 95% confidence level). The practices of the parents also showed a relative improvement from the pre-test results. Lastly, there was 100% compliance for the upcoming SBI at the end of the project implementation, as indicated in their consent forms. The team, therefore, effectively reduced the refusal rate for both MR and Td vaccines from 32% to 0%.
