Abstract
The present condition of medical social services offered by a few chosen barangay health clinics in Laguna's Fourth District examined in this study. The study used a standardized, self-administered questionnaire with 225 individuals from different health locations. The study used statistical techniques like mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) using a descriptive-correlational methodology. According to the results, the only demographic factor that showed a statistically significant relationship with the provision of child vaccination services and interpersonal problems in medical social services was age (p < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant correlation between medical services or related issues and other demographic parameters including gender, job title, or years of service (p > 0.05). Furthermore, the only factor that has shown to be significantly correlate with the timeliness of service delivery was age. Furthermore, there was no discernible effect of other demographics on the promptness, skill, or effectiveness of the services provided. Additionally, it shown that there was no correlation between the quality of delivery or recognized service concerns and child immunization services. Nonetheless, significant connections found between these problems and the availability of prenatal and postnatal treatment as well as outpatient care. In light of the study's conclusions, it sought to discuss the characteristics of the respondents as well as the medical and social services offered in a selected barangay in Laguna's 4th District.
