Logbook For Industrial Supervision and Training- A Look at Paper and Digital ...Olufemi Jeremiah Olubodun
Logbook has been in use for many years and mostly for keeping records and these records could be personal or official. Anyone keeping record defines the criteria and the format it will take. For training institutions format of a logbook is well laid out for students to just fill in blank spaces. This has a lot of limitations. However, logbook is usually paper based and few digital logbooks available placed a number of restrictions on the user such that they are not very useful for industrial training. This paper looks at logbook in diverse ways and it was a product of a research conducted at the College of Medicine of the University of Lagos, Lagos Nigeria. This will expose the reader to a number of salient details often ignored about logbook
Industrial training is an important aspect of training for professions that requires practitioners to develop skills for different purposes among which are skills for the operation of machines and hand tools; skills for manipulation of materials for complex and simple techniques and for production of and repair of damaged equipment. Broadly, professions in this category could be placed under technical and vocational education and example could include optical technology, dental technology, plumbing, carpentry and a host of engineering and health related vocations. Industrial training means the training (mostly skills acquisition) obtained from industries by student as part of the requirements to be met before graduation. Students go to learn under the tutelage of a more experienced person in the industry and this is essentially to connect school knowledge with real life experiences as it is in the industries. Industries could be an engineering workshop, laboratory, surgeries or a manufacturing plant.

First, I will like to acknowledge the North Carolina Central University Department of Public
Health Education. In 2009, I was a freshmen majoring in Biology with a minor in Spanish. There were
barriers that cause me to fail classes and developed a bad grade point average. Another fellow freshman
told me about the Department of Public Health Education. In 2012, I was enrolled in Introduction of
Health Education course. During the course, I learned that you can get varies of careers with a public
health degree. After making an A on the course, I knew that this department was right for me. There have
been barriers along the way but, I am happy that this journey is coming to a close. I would like to send a
special thank you to two professors for being my support system in the department and two professors are
Dr. David Jolly and Dr. LaVerne Reid.
I will also like to thank the class of 2015 Health Education Associate cohort. I know that I came
into this cohort as the freshmen, but throughout this final year,you all welcome me with open arms and I
really do appreciate it. I will like to send a special thank you to Niceeta Minor, Maronda Joint, and
B’Heeraw Withers-Danielfor their support and you will always be my favorites.
I will not be here if it wasn’t for my family and friends being the greatest support system during
my undergraduate career. To my parents and grandparents, thank you for the motivation, kind words and
financial support. To all my siblings, thank you for the laughs, hugs, and support that you always give. To
other family members, thank you for the phone calls, text messages,late night visits, and gifts that you
sent. To the friends I have made during my undergraduate career,thank you so much for the love and
support and I hope that our friendship will continue to blossom.
Finally, I would like dedicate the completion of my undergraduate career to two people. The first
person is my late best friend, David “Ralph” Harman. Ralph and I made a promise to attend any college
together. Unfortunately, he was murdered in 2008 at a house party. At his funeral, I stated that I promise
to attend college and complete operation graduation. The final person is my daughter, Armani Isabella
Gibson. She has been my biggest cheerleader throughout my undergrad career. I hope that she learns from
my experience that no matter what obstacles or barriers you face,always believe in yourself and you will
get through it.
Thank you all for the support.
Keandra ShernealDiggs, Health Education Associate
4. Introduction
My name is Keandra ShernealDiggs. I am twenty-four years old from Greensboro, North
Carolina. I am the daughter of Guna and Valarie Pruitt Diggs and the mother of Armani Isabella Gibson. I
grew up in Long Beach,California with multiple siblings. At the age of three, my biological parents made
a hard decision to separate my family into different states due to unsafe conditions and lack of money.
After two years of living with different families and traveling to different states,I was sent to North
Carolina at the age of five. Since that day, I had to fight a lot of trials and tribulations in my life.
However,without overcoming those obstacles, I would not be the woman that I am today.
. After I graduate from North Carolina Central University, I want to take the Certified Health Education
Specialist (CHES) Exam. Having a certification like this one can let agencies know that I have knowledge
of the seven roles of responsibilities of being a health educator.
My next goal is to start working with a profit or non-profit agency that involves obesity-related
diseases,such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This will give me more experience to get more use
to planning and implementing health promotion programs involving obesity-related diseases. Some
agencies I would love to work with are the American Diabetes Association, Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation, International Diabetes Federation, American Heart Association, Local Health Departments,
and any other agencies.
After five to ten years of gain work experience, I would like to go back to school and obtain a
Master’s degree in Public Health or Nutrition. While I am in school, I want to create a health prevention
program in terms of obesity and nutrition for female college students or female high school students.
After I receive my Master’s degree,I want to work for a federalagency like Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention and Department of Health and Human Services.

Reflection:
Well, the first week of internship is complete. In the beginning, I was really nervous about working with Grocers on
Wheels due to the fact that I was their first college intern. In the past,the interns who worked with Grocers on Wheels
in the past were high school students. On the first day, my field supervisor and I talked about the activities that I will
be doing. Grocers on Wheels have a very good following in Southeast Raleigh and they want to increase their business
in Durham. One of the most important activities that I was assigned was to research potential clients who would be
interested in having the Grocers on Wheels Mobile Market come to their residence. Some other activities included
gathering statistics and literature for the community assessment. Overall, I enjoyed my first week and I am excited to
see what is next on this journey.

Reflection:
Week two of this internship experience was great. I got to travel to different locations in Durham and Bahama,North
Carolina to distribute surveys on what type of foods do the potential clients prefer. One of the highlights of this week
was spending time with the clients and helping them with the survey. One of the three locations that I went to was a
community complex in Bahama,North Carolina. The community complex was once an elementary school that was
going to be torn down. The community of Bahama took action by developing a petition to keep the building. After
years of advocacy and multiple signatures, the community of Bahama earned rights to the building and created a
community center for seniors. Overall, another great week of my internship experience.

Reflection:
Well, week five of internship is completed. I had some barriers in terms of conducting my special project. I received
and email stating that the Boys and Girls club event was postpone in May. Therefore,I had to research different
afterschool programs to see where I can present my presentation. When I wasn’t successful, I thought that I was going
to give up. One day, I was assigned to drop off surveys to a senior apartment complex called JFK Memorial Towers. I
had a great conversation with the Residents Service Coordinator (RSC) about public health education, the internship
experience, and special project. The RSC stated that it’s rare for a health educator to come and conduct a presentation
about health topics and asked if I could come and present my presentation. I gladly accept the offer and gave her more
information about date and time. This week, I learned that it best to have back up plan because you will never know
what will happen.

that since the internship started, my field supervisor stated that I didn’t go out to the community or go to the various
events. I felt like I didn’t do my job and I took responsibility for it. Another barrier that happens this week was that my
daughter was in the hospital due to an unknown health issue. Having something to take over your top priority is the
hardest thing to face. However,since there is one week of internship left, I will have to focus on finishing this
internship experience. But, not all this week was bad. I had the opportunity to attend the Women’s Empowerment
2015 at Raleigh, North Carolina. I’ve learned about breast cancer information and personal stories of participants.

Reflection:
Well, the final week of internship has come and I can’t believe how fast these eight weeks went. After having a
horrible week seven,I feel that this last week was what I needed. I attended the “What’s the 411?: Diabetes Foot Care”
event at the Durham County Health Department,where I promoted Grocers on Wheels. Since week one, it was hard
for me to say the purpose of the agency. Now, I can remember the purpose and mission by heart. I completed my
special project at JFK Towers. In the beginning, I had a lot of barriers including technical difficulties, emergencies in
the building, and tardiness and leaving early. At the end, I made changes to the program and it went well. As my
internship experience comes to an end, there were lessons learned including always have a back-up plan,
communication between intern and preceptor/supervisor is very important, and keep calm when confronted with
barriers. On the other hand, there were major accomplishments including materials development (brochure, recipe
cards,etc.),overcame technical difficulties on the day of special presentation, and increased confidence in public
speaking. Overall, the internship experience was one of the highlights of my entire undergraduate career.

Community Assessment Report Form
Directions: Insert your information for each heading in the area designated “Comments”. If you did not
have information for the heading, insert “No Information”.
1. Introduction: Give a detailed description of the catchment area for your target population (Use
national and state data,census data and other sources). Next,describe your target population:
demographics (e.g. age,gender, race,educational level, employment) and other pertinent information.
Refer to Community Health Assessment Report for the county. The Introduction needs to be 2
paragraphs in length. Each paragraph should contain at least 5 sentences.
Older adults are disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes. These problems may be worse in
some communities in the United States because access to affordable and nutritious food is difficult.
Increased attention is being paid to the distribution of supermarkets and grocery stores offering food
products of an appropriate quality and variety to support the nutritional needs of families. A few
advocates,community leaders, and researchers are worried that these problems may be more severe in
certain poor and rural American communities because these areas have limited access to affordable and
nutritious foods. Increases in rates of obesity and related chronic diseases that are linked with poor diets,
such as diabetes and heart disease, are major public health concerns.
With age comes an increased risk for specific complications with Type 2 diabetes. The growing
issue of obesity can be slowed, if society focuses on the causes. Some of those causes include unhealthy
eating habits, lack of eating veggies and fruits, environment/access to healthy foods, lack of physical
activity, and lack of knowledge. Having a program that addresses the effects of diabetes and promotes
nutrition will have the biggest influence on the choices older adults make when selecting healthy foods to
consume. Focusing on these causes may, over time, decrease obesity and lead to a healthier society as a
whole.
International Data:
In 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of
these over 600 million were obese (World Health Organization, 2015).
Overall, about 13% of the world’s adult population (11% of men and 15% of
women) were obese in 2014 (World Health Organization, 2015).
45. Federal Data:
More than one-third (34.9% or 78.6 million) of U.S. adults are obese (Centers of
Disease Control and Prevention, 2014).
Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States (Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention; National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and
Kidney Disease , 2014)
Of all households in the United States, 2.3 million, or 2.2 percent, live more than
a mile from a supermarket and do not have access to a vehicle. (Ploeg et al., 2009)
Approximately 25% of Americans over the age of 60 years have diabetes, and
aging of the U.S. population is widely acknowledged as one of the drivers of the
diabetes epidemic (American Diabetes Association, 2014)
State Data:
As of 2014, North Carolina has the 25th Highest Adult Obesity Rate in Nation
(Trust for America's Health; Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2014)
Food insecurity, at 16.9 percent of adults aged 60 and older, remains a major
challenge for North Carolina seniors (United Health Foundation, 2014).
North Carolina is ranked 21st on obesity rates for seniors ages 65 and older
(United Health Foundation, 2014).
Local Data:
In 2009, 65% of Durham County adults were overweight or obese (Durham
County Health Department, 2011).
16.7% of the Durham County population (42,840 people) is food insecure
(Durham County Health Department, 2011)
Diabetes is the 5th leading cause of death in Durham County and is also a
significant risk factor for heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, the second
and third leading causes of death in Durham, respectively (Durham County
Health Department, 2011).

3. Findings
List the findings of the review of literature in bullet format
The introduction of a farmers’ market improved access to healthy food items, which has a major
impact on overall price groceries. The market also provides residents with a significantly better
variety of food items. (Larsen,2009)
Populations that live in areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious food may adjust
their food shopping behaviors and diets based on the food environment in their area. These
adjustments could be due to the lack of availability of some foods or to the relative prices of
different foods offered from different food retailers (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2008)
Low-income participants may also be willing to travel farther to a low-price store for better
prices. Once inside a low-price store, shoppers may be influenced by displays and marketing of
non-nutritious or junk foods (Ghosh-Dastidar, 2014)
Physical proximity to supermarkets may not be the most salient variable to reflect access to
supermarkets and food shopping environments, particularly among people with access to a car.

50. Interview with Joyce Paige
Me: My first question is Where you from and what are your educational background?
Ms. Paige: I'm from Durham, NC and I have been here most of my life except for four to five
years I spent in Washington DC/ Maryland area when I worked in the department of health and
human services. I'm a North Carolina Central University Graduate in Biology. I attended UNC
School of Public Health and earned two degrees. The first one is for Public Health Policy and
Administration and the second one is for Biostatistics. I have worked at some many places from
local and small cities/towns to the national level.
Me: What made you want to work in this profession?
Ms. Paige: I love with working for the community. I wanted to learn more about this disease
from top to bottom. The more information I found, the more I became interested.
Me: Do you have type 2 diabetes? If so, how long have you been a diabetic? Are you
currently taking medications or on insulin? What are you doing to control your type 2
diabetes?
Ms. Paige: Yes, I do have type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed about ten years ago. It was based on
taking my mother’s blood sugar and I decided to test mine and it was 138 and I called the doctor
and tested me again and I was pre-diabetic. I was doing well in terms of controlling my blood
sugars for a few years. Now, I have been stacking off due to my busy schedule. I’m only taking
Metformin at the moment. The changes I made since I was first diagnose includes eat more
vegetables and eat less sweets and butter.
Me: What do you think are some causes of type 2 diabetes?
Ms. Paige: I believe that Durham is the fast food/restaurant capital of the North Carolina. We
have more fast food places than grocery stores. Also, lack of transportation is a huge cause here
in Durham. We might be the car dealer capital in North Carolina, but our bus transportation is
very confusing. Altogether, environmental factors and financial struggles are the main cause of
type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Me: Do you believe that food deserts are an issue with type 2 diabetes in Durham?
Ms. Paige: Absolutely. Like I mention before, Durham is the fast food/restaurant capital of the
North Carolina and we have more fast food places than grocery stores. We need more grocery
stores than restaurants.
Me: Do you think that seniors 65 and older are at more at risk with type 2 diabetes than
any other age range?
51. Ms. Paige: Yes. Seniors have the highest prevalence of type 2 diabetes than any other age group.
Also, diabetes is the number one leading cause of blindness. It’s very important for health
educators to pay more attention to this age group.
Me: I will have a program for seniors 65 and older about type 2 diabetes and nutrition,
what would you like to see in the program?
Ms. Paige: I would like to know if I have type 2 diabetes, what I can eat that is easy to prepare.
Also, I would like to see what exercise can I do so, I can be in shape. The last I would like to see
is a table to get eyes and feet check.
Me: If you were given $1 million to correct the health problems of the community, what
would you spend it on?
Ms. Paige: I would spend the $1 million on reaching leaders and educators to conduct diabetes
education and to bring church kitchen committees to discuss changes in the meals that they
serve.
52. Interview with Justin Thomas
Me: My first question is Can you tell me more information about your position at the
American Diabetes Association?
Mr. Justin Thomas: Yes, I am the manager of program community and outreach. So, I conduct
health events and do screening for the Research Triangle Area. I recruit, train, overseer
volunteers, and work with other departments to promote events and workshops. Most of the time,
I’m out in the community more than my office.
Me: What made you want to work in this profession?
Mr. Thomas: I love working for the community. I feel that everyone should at least work
outside of the community just to get the experience and the vibe of connecting with others. Yes,
every day I get tired, but it’s all worth it.
Me: Do you have type 2 diabetes? If so, how long have you been a diabetic? Are you
currently taking medications or on insulin? What are you doing to control your type 2
diabetes?
Mr. Thomas: Yes, I do have type 2 diabetes and it runs in my family. I was diagnosed about 12
years ago. I am currently taking medication for the diabetes. Also, I exercise 30 minutes each
day and watch what I eat.
Me: What do you think are some causes of type 2 diabetes?
Mr. Thomas: I believe that environmental factors and financial situations play a huge role on
type 2 diabetes. Durham has a limited amount of grocery stores. Wal-Mart has taking over and
added a grocery store component and their produces are not fresh.
Me: Do you believe that food deserts are an issue with type 2 diabetes in Durham?
Mr. Thomas: Absolutely. Food deserts also play a role in type 2 diabetes. Actually, it plays a
role for all chronic health issues, such as health diseases and high blood pressure.
Me: Do you think that seniors 65 and older are at more at risk with type 2 diabetes than
any other age range?
Mr. Thomas: Yes. It’s very important for health educators to pay more attention to this age
group. That goes for all, and I mean all health issues.
53. Me: I will have a program for seniors 65 and older about type 2 diabetes and nutrition,
what would you like to see in the program?
Mr. Thomas: I will like to see an educational component, food demonstrations, games/prizes,
and testing/screenings. If you have those components, you will have a successful program.
Me: If you were given $1 million to correct the health problems of the community, what
would you spend it on?
Mr. Thomas: I would spend the $1 million on educators to conduct diabetes education to all
ages from children to seniors. Also, I will have a project to get more grocery stores in Durham
County.
Me: Well, that is all the questions that I have. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to
me. I am sure what you have shared will be helpful to me as I prepare for my career.
Mr. Thomas: You are very welcome, Keandra. Good luck on the rest of your internship.
54. Interview with Fannie Howard
Me: My first question is: how long have you been a resident at JFK Memorial Towers?
Mrs. Fannie Howard: I have been living here for about 10 years with my husband. We had
been married for 75 years.

children and three of them have diabetes.
Me: Are you currently taking medication or insulin?
Mrs. Howard: Yes, I am taking four medications and insulin.
Me: What are you doing to control your type 2 diabetes? Are you exercising? Are you
eating healthy?
Mrs. Howard: Yes. I am walking a few times a day. I am eating more fruits and vegetables than
any other food group.
Me: Final question, I will have a program for seniors about type 2 diabetes and nutrition,
what would you like to see in the program?
Mrs. Howard: I will like to see food demonstrations because I want to update my recipe box.
Me: Well, that is all the questions that I have. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to
me, Mrs. Howard. I am sure what you have shared will be helpful to me as I prepare for my
career.
Mrs. Howard: You are very welcome. I wish you all the luck in your college career and I will
be attending the program.
Me: Thank you, Mrs. Howard.
55. Interview with Laura Marlon
Me: My first question is: how long have you been a resident at JFK Memorial Towers?
Mrs. Laura Marlon: I have been living here for 8 years.
Me: Before you moved to JFK Towers, what did you do for a living?
Mrs. Marlon: I was a midwife at Guilford County for over 40 to 50 years. I have seen lots of
babies.
Me: That is great, Mrs. Marlon. Do you have diabetes? If so, how long have you been a
diabetic?
Mrs. Marlon: Yes, I have been diagnosed for a long time. I don’t remember the age or time.
Me: Are you currently taking medication or insulin?
Mrs. Marlon: Yes, I am taking two medications and insulin. I hate taking those things every
day. But, I have to in order to control the diabetes.
Me: That is very true. Speaking of control, What are you doing to control your type 2
diabetes? Are you exercising? Are you eating healthy?
Mrs. Marlon: Mostly, I eat healthy. I used to walk once or twice a day but, I injured my knee
recently.
Me: I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you get well soon, Mrs. Marlon. Final question, I will have a
program for seniors about type 2 diabetes and nutrition, what would you like to see in the
program?
Mrs. Marlon: I will like to see food demonstrations, facts about diabetes, and games. I love to
play games.
