Image
Application of Data Gathering Procedures  A systematic process of gathering observations or measurements is known as data collection. Data collection allows you to gain first-hand knowledge and original insights into your research problem, whether you are conducting research for business, government, or academic purposes. Data gathering is one of the most essential part of research. During this stage, collecting necessary information to answer all the statement of the problems is done. Before you begin collecting data, you should consider the following: the purpose of the research, the type of data that will be collected, and the methods and procedures that will be used to collect, store, and process the data. Proper Literature Review A review of the literature is a survey of scholarly sources that provides an overview of a specific topic. A literature review is a compilation of the most relevant and significant publications on a given topic in order to provide a comprehensive overview

  Empirical research is based on data that has been observed and measured phenomena, and knowledge is derived from actual experience as opposed to theory or belief. The term empirical refers to any of the following: knowledge gained through experience, observation, or experimentation. One of the central tenets of the scientific method is that evidence must be empirical, that is, based on evidence that can be observed with the senses. In this phase, the researcher puts all of the plans for data collection that he or she devised in the first phase, step 3. The empirical phase of many studies is the most time-consuming part of the investigation. However, the amount of time spent varies from study to study. Types and methodologies of empirical research Quantitative research methods: Quantitative research methods are used to collect information using numerical data. It is used to quantify opinions, behaviors, or other variables that have been defined. These are predetermined and are prese

DISSEMINATION PHASE

-
Image
                          We describe dissemination as a designed strategy that incorporates thinking about target audiences and the contexts in which research findings will be received, as well as communicating and interacting with larger policy and health service audiences in ways that will facilitate research uptake in decision-making processes and practice. Working out who your primary audience is; engaging with them early and staying in touch throughout the project, ideally involving them from the planning of the study to the dissemination of findings are all principles of good dissemination. Produce targeted outputs in a format that is appropriate for the user. Understand the service context of your research and enlist the help of influential opinion leaders to act as champions. Dissemination should not be restricted to the end of a study. Consider whether any discoveries can be shared sooner. The dissemination of research findings is an important part of the research process bec

Care Plan - Stroke

-
  Introduction: Stroke Stroke is still the most common cause of disability and death in the Philippines. Evaluating the current state of stroke care, needed resources, and gaps in health policies and programs is critical for effectively reducing stroke-related mortality and morbidity. The purpose of this paper is to characterize the stroke system of care and network in the Philippines using the World Health Organization's health system building blocks framework. The Philippine Department of Health (DOH) institutionalized a national policy framework for preventing and managing stroke to integrate existing national laws and policies governing stroke and its risk factors dispersed across many general policies. Despite policy changes, government financing remains limited. From 2009 to 2019, stroke remains the second leading cause of death and one of the top five leading causes of disability in the Philippines (3). The true stroke prevalence is uncertain, but reported estimates vary bet

Image
When you're planning about building a house you need blueprints to realize what you have envisioned. The research design and planning phase is exactly like a blueprint. In this phase, you are to select a research design suitable to the type of research you are currently studying. Research design is a broad framework that states the total pattern of conducting a research project. It specifies objectives, data collection and analysis methods, time, costs, responsibility, probable outcomes, and actions.   A good research design will obviously describe the strategy to be employed for choosing samples, collecting data, managing costs along other factors which are important for conducting research. The research methods which are employed and the purpose of the research can also be utilized to classify the different types of research designs. You can choose from different types of research design base on the type of study you are immersing yourself in.  During this phase, you also need to

Major Phases of the Research Process

-
Image
Research is like a recipe. To do it right you need to follow certain procedures or steps. The first thing you need to do when starting your research is to Identify a Research Problem.   When selecting a problem a researcher must know first what his interest is. What type of research is he into and what are the things that hold his interest that he would like to examine. Furthermore, a research problem should be relevant and timely to the present situation. It must be new and useful. And has SMART characteristics.  The research problem is stated in a   specific way, measurable in a way that can be measured using a research instrument like a questionnaire. Your research must also be achievable , the data you need to arrive at desirable results should be easily obtained. Also, your research problem needs to be both realistic and time-bound . After you have figured and identified your research problem, the next thing that you need to do is to find sources of information.   This next phase
