In this forum, you will use you will use skillsets you have developed in this module related to the sampling process by responding to the following discussion prompt and answering all (4) questions. You may want to use the internet in addition to resources provided in Module 7. 

A researcher based in Miami wants to learn about the experiences of homeless people in the United States by conducting interviews with them. He plans to conduct in-person interviews with the homeless people he samples. He is having trouble deciding how to draw a representative sample of homeless people because homeless people are difficult to find, often move from place to place, and are often cycled in and out of homelessness. The researcher has one year and a $5,000 grant with which to conduct his interviews.

Your task is to help this researcher.

1. What is the population he wants to generalize to?
2. What are possible sampling frames (sources) from which he can draw his sample?
3. What do you think would be a good/realistic sample size?
4. What sampling methods would you suggest he uses? Why?

 4 Types of Bias in Research and How to Avoid Them (url) 

 

By the end of class, the student will:
explain the relationship between study population and study sample (CSLO 1, 4);
demonstrate assessment of inclusion and exclusion criteria (CSLO 1); 
identify the best method for determining adequate sample size (CSLO 1, 4);
differentiate between probability and non-probability sampling methods (CSLO 4); and

explain the sampling section of a research report (CSLO 1, 4).

 

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone project change proposal, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Question Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

1. Title page
2. Introduction section
3. A comparison of research questions
4. A comparison of sample populations
5. A comparison of the limitations of the study
6. A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance. 

  

2000 word essay. Answer all points and questions below.

1. What competitor information categories are useful in      competitor analysis? Are these categories appropriate for health care      organizations? How can these information categories provide a focus for      information gathering and strategic decision-making?
2. Why is it important to clearly define the service area?      How does managed care penetration affect service area definition?
3. Conduct a service area competitor analysis within your      community. Keep it fairly small in scope (i.e. laser hair removal      business, extended care facility for ventilator-dependent patients, etc.)      so that it is manageable. Begin by introducing the macro issues (general      and health care) and then use this outline as an initial guide:

• Specify the Service Category 
• Delineate the Service Area.
  • General
  • Economic
  • Demographic
  • Psychographic
  • Health Status
• Perform a Service Area Structure Analysis
  • Threat of New Entrants
  • Intensity of Rivalry
  • Threat of Substitutes
  • Power of Customers
  • Power of Suppliers
• Do a Competitor Analysis/Identify Service Category      Critical Success Factors
  • Competitor Strengths and Weaknesses
  • Critical Success Factors
  • Strategic Groups
  • Map Competitors
  • Likely Responses of Competitors
• Identify and Map Strategic Groups
• Provide a Synthesis.

Expectations

2000 words. Answers must thoroughly address the questions in a clear, concise manner. Include a title page and reference page in APA style. These do not count towards the minimum word count for this assignment. Use the appropriate APA style in-text citations and references for all resources utilized to answer the questions. Include at least five (5) verifiable scholarly sources to support your claims. Reference must be verifiable, current and within 5 years.

Discussion Questions

By the due date assigned, post your response to the assigned discussion questions in the below Discussion Area. It is important to support what you say with relevant citations in the APA format from both the course materials and outside resources. Include the South University Online Library in your research activities utilizing not only the nursing resource database, but also those pertaining to education, business, and human resources.

No later than by the end of the week, review and comment on the discussion question responses posted by at least two of your peers. Always use constructive language. All comments should be posted to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area.

Discussion Question

Formulating the Research Question, Problem Statement, Research Purpose

In the Week 1 discussion forum you had an opportunity to present a potential problem and an innovative solution specific to your role specialization. In addition, you have reviewed the literature to identify qualitative and quantitative research articles and submitted annotated bibliographies to provide evidence supporting the problem.

Considering the feedback provided to you by the faculty member it is now time to prepare your problem statement, research purpose, and research question.

First share your refined problem and proposed solution (given your review of literature this may have changed depending on the evidence you were able to provide). Next, follow the steps to help define your research question.

1. Craft the problem statement and research purpose.
2. Design your research question aimed at solving (a part of) the problem and include the following components which will focus the literature review.

PICOT Question:

Patient, Population or Problem

1. What are the characteristics of the patient or population?
2. What is the condition or disease you are interested in?

Intervention or exposure

1. What do you want to do with this patient (e.g. treat, diagnose, observe)?

Comparison

1. What is the alternative to the intervention (e.g. placebo, different drug, surgery)?

Outcome

1. What are the relevant outcomes (e.g. morbidity, death, complications)?
2. Ensure that the research question is answerable, feasible and clinically relevant

The next step in Submissions Area will be to develop a research hypothesis from the research question.
