We just started our Community Medicine on Monday. We were divided into many groups to carry out our Community Medicine project. My group was assigned to Nilai. There were 36 of us. We further divided our tasks among ourselves. Some of us studied the organizational structure in the Klinik Kesihatan Nilai. Others did the household survey and the research project. I was involved in household survey. For the household survey, we did a survey to know how much the people in Nilai know about Diabetes. Our instrumentation was a questionaire. Wow, I thought questionaire was an easy job. It was not at all. We walked so much in the hot sun around the big neighbourhood in Nilai and it was from house to house. There were dogs in some houses and we were rejected by the people in some houses. We had to collect at least 250 data and we managed to collect more than 300 data. For our research project, we did a cross sectional study on how much people in Nilai know about Dengue. Tomorrow, we have to start to key in all the data and use the SPSS software for our data analysis and results interpretation. Next week, we have to present it to all the doctors who specialized in Community Medicine.

Doing a household survey is not easy at all.
People were scared of me when I tried pressing their doorbells so many times. No one wanted to come out to answer my questions.
We walked from lorong to lorong. It was super tiring.
The Klinik Kesihatan Nilai was so creative to educate the patients there on breast feeding. Stocking as the skin? They were really creative.
