dc.description.abstractABSTRACT Background Community Diagnosis Programme (CDP) aims to demonstrate the importance of teamwork in health care to understand the comprehensive health needs of the rural people and conceive about the research. Objective To assess the impact of community diagnosis program on undergraduate students of BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), Dharan, Nepal. Method A cross sectional study with mixed design (quantitative and qualitative) was conducted among the undergraduate students of batch 2017 participating in community diagnosis programme of BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal. Eight questions assessed the students’ perceptions regarding their abilities about community diagnosis program using six point Likert Scale and four open ended questions were used to know the students’ experience and perception of community diagnosis programme. Result Overall mean ± SD score for pre-exposure response was 30.47 ± 6.18 and for the post- exposure response was 40.49 ± 5.16. The overall mean ± SD score of the students categorized according to streams showed similar results in both pre-exposure response and post-exposure responses. Qualitative analysis revealed the themes like “Research, a reflection of community and new method of learning to medical students”; “method of developing confidence and good communication skills”, “learning to work as a team” and “exposure to rural area”; “Research an adjunct to medical profession”. Conclusion Community diagnosis programme had a positive impact on the students about basic survey process, learnt to communicate with rural people, understood the type of data and were willing to participate in similar projects in future. Qualitative analysis showed most of the students had positive experience with some negative experience of community diagnosis programme.
