My Experience on field work project on causes of Hypertension



During Three month Field work practicum we group of seven were placed in very remote place. The village was known as Thuloonggang. Which was located in the middle of jungle.



Since we were given task to do one project and a produce report from the assigned village after being with the villagers for a month we came to know that villagers are suffering from hypertension and was face difficulties in lowering the level of blood pressure. So thinking that something could help them our group had carried out a research project on The Causes of High blood pressure among the villagers. 



We found it was necessary to do research on the topic and also create awareness on it. 
Resources we used for the first round were questioners, books, pen, pencils and went door to door dividing ourselves into different directions, asking some questions on their dietary like ( amount of salt, oil, alcohol and the illness).


There wasn't any involvement of budget since it didn't require to do so we were already in the village and directly able to communicate with people but we had purchased ( markers, chart papers, tape) and all inorder to convey the message we used those tools to illustrate the causes and spread awareness among the villagers .
After collecting data through face survey and interview we are able to recognize the root cause of hypertension. 

People they had been consuming more meat, oil, salt, and alcohol that cause high level of blood pressure. Although they are trying to keep fit by consuming some jungle medicines that can lower blood pressure they kept on having more salt and meat. So after knowing that we made poster on various disease along with Hypertension like causes, symptoms, treatment and we also advocate them about the COVID too.


 Since we were frank with everyone in the village we didn't face difficulties while advocating them. Villagers do believe and practice what we shared. And they are very supportive.
After conducting the research project in the village many villagers are benefitted from project. Also I was able to gained new knowledge on how to conduct the project.
 
If we don't have knowledge of principles and characteristics conducting project we won't be able to complete or end the project well and won't be able to get there result. As. Group we did cooperate togather and help each other to make the project achievable, making the project beneficial to the people and complete on time.

Article review ✨

 The study on the situation of violence against women in Bhutan by NCWC provides insightful information on the state of women's safety in the country. However we could find different viewpoints on the study's findings. On the negative side, the study reveals alarming rates of intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women in Bhutan. For instance, out of the 1,000 women surveyed, nearly 63% reported experiencing at least one form of physical or sexual violence by their partners. Such findings suggest that the government and relevant stakeholders need to take urgent action to address the issue. Failure to do so perpetuates a culture of violence against women and makes it difficult for women to speak out against the abuse.  On the positive side, the study sheds light on the extent of violence against women and provides a much-needed platform for advocacy. The National Commission for Women and Children (NCWC) has taken proactive measures to address the issue, such as ...
