3. Introduction and Objective
Malaysia Health Ministry engaged us to conduct a survey to analyze the
understanding level of Taylor’s students’ about one of the common chronic
diseases in Malaysia. This survey is designed to study how much male and female
students understand about the disease. Besides, we are required to organize and
analyze the data collected.
The specific chronic disease we chose is Hemophilia. Hemophilia is a
bleeding disorder in which the blood doesn’t clot normally. Hemophilia is an
inherited disease and more likely to occur in males than females. People with
this disease have lower clotting factor level of blood plasma or impaired activity
of the coagulation factors needed for a normal clotting process. A hemophiliac
does not bleed more intensely than a person without it, but can bleed for a much
longer time.
There are different types of Hemophilia but their symptoms are the same.
The common characteristic of internal bleed is a joint bleed where blood enters
into the joint spaces. There is no cure for Hemophilia. More than 400,000 people
suffer from hemophilia worldwide and there are more than one thousand
diagnosed hemophilia patients in Malaysia. Each year about 400 babies are born
with this disease.

4. Methodology
The research process and the preparation of survey questions were done
on 2nd October to 3rd October 2015. The survey is given out to 125 male students
and 125 female students from Taylor’s University on the 12th to 13th October.
Each of the members are assigned to give out 50 sets of questionnaires to the
students.
After collecting 250 survey forms, we analyzed the scores of each
individual in terms of general knowledge and effect of the disease. Each question
is further analyzed to obtain the number of correct answers and wrong answers
answered by both genders. The results is recorded into grouped data, graphs and
charts. A conclusion is made after the analysis.

5. We distributed the survey forms for students around Taylor’s University
compound. Some students were very motivated to answer the questions.

6. Participant filling up the survey forms.
Collect data from survey forms and analyse
the information. Data are then converted to bar chart.

23. Conclusion
Throughout the survey, we concluded that the understanding level of
female students about Hemophilia is higher than male students in Taylor’s
University. The reason of carrying out this survey is to give a brief idea for
students as a practice on this basic general knowledge about hemophilia. After
the data are collected from 250 of male students and female students, we’ve
observed that more female students have a greater knowledge on the general
information of this disease. On the other hand, male students understand more
on the effects of this disease.
Besides, through this survey we gained a lot of information from
researches and comments from the students. The survey process took place
around the library and open spaces. Students that we’ve surveyed are currently
study in Diploma, Foundation and Degree. During the process of the survey,
some students are seen suffering when answering the given questions because of
a lack in knowledge of this disease. This shows that Hemophilia might not be the
most common disease being discussed among students in their daily life.
Finally, in our opinion, Kementrian Kesihatan Malaysia should raise
awareness by organizing more campaigns and advertisements regarding this
disease to improve the citizens’ knowledge about the disease. Teachers from
schools are also encouraged to deliver these messages to students for
preventions.

The mean score for females is more than males. This shows that female students
have greater knowledge in hemophilia than male students.

29. The bar chart below shows the number of students who obtained higher marks
in general knowledge of Hemophilia, effect of Hemophilia, and balanced
knowledge respectively.
Balance: ratio of marks between general questions & effect questions are the
same
General: ratio of marks of general questions to effect questions is higher
Effect: ratio of marks of effect questions to general questions is higher
According to the diagram, most number of students obtain higher marks in
general questions. Both genders have the highest understanding level in general
questions about Hemophilia. Even so, the number of female students who scored
well in general questions is 16 people more than male students.
The lowest number of students obtained the balanced ratio of marks between
general questions and effect questions. This shows that less students have
balanced level of knowledge in general and effect questions about Hemophilia.
Male students who have balanced knowledge about Hemophilia is 14 people
more than female students.
The number of male students who have higher marks in effect questions is 2
people more than female students. Male students have higher understanding
level on the effects of Hemophilia.
