2.1 Respondents of the Study The respondents were 40 UiTM Puncak Alam students from two
different faculties of different backgrounds. There were 20 male and 20 female respondents for each
faculty. 20 respondents were taken from health science students from Faculty of Pharmacy and 20
respondents were taken from the non-health science students from Faculty of Business
Management. We took health science students and non-health science students as our respondents
because we want to compare the difference of their knowledge of hygiene practice in their daily life
yet this comparison will proof the association of students’ background with their knowledge.

2.2 Instrument of the Study The instrument used to collect the data was by a questionnaire. This
tool was used to survey the awareness of hygiene among students in UiTM Puncak Alam. The
questionnaire had 17 questions and elicited the information such as their demographic profile,
attitude towards hygiene routine, knowledge about hygiene and disease and the reasons of
neglecting hygiene.

2.3 Data Collection Procedure Forty questionnaires were distributed to the respondents from Faculty
of Pharmacy and Faculty of Business Management on Monday 3rd May 2019 at UiTM Puncak Alam.
The questionnaires were distributed using Google Forms. The respondents were given four days to
answer the questionnaire before the Google Forms closed. All the respondents answered the
questionnaires. The duration of this study is from March-May 2019.
