Quantitative Research Proposal - Coursework Example

How the residence of a STEMI patient affect the myocardial damage degree al affiliation Ethical consideration A patient can have a problem with chest pain, complaining of severe pain having a segment of one millimeter. Our research will be protected and be undertaken by the Emergence Medicine Association. All this will be determined by the cure of the patient by the nurses depending on the residence where the patient lives. With this survey, we are conducting a data collection in the hospital of Emergency medicine practice found in the west of “Virginia community”.

The patients will also be registered and be recorded for the purpose of information scheduling in the hospitals concerning the patients who are infected by the STEMI. (Eslick, 2010)Data collection The survey will begin on the month of June when the students will be on Holidays to ensure that they carry out their visitation to the hospital regularly. There will be five nurses who will be at the reception whenever new patients are admitted to the hospital. A report shall be presented to the students every week in order to keep the records and analyze the information very well.

The patients will be asked questions and be administered with questionnaires for full information recording.InstrumentationIn the year 2009, a survey on “The diagnosis and treatment of STEMI in the emergency department” was developed and organized by the Clinical director in the Department of Emergency Medicine Joshua M. Kosowski, MD in Boston. The research and survey will be approved by the director Joshua M. whereby the survey will copy the procedures of the 2009 survey and information be tallied from the survey.

All the students of the class will be administered in the same month of June and be approved to be attending the meetings at the hospital.A number of questionnaires will be asked in the survey including some questions from the previous 2009 survey. The attitudinal questions that will be asked are, 1. Has anyone from your family inherited STEMI disease?a) Yes b) No2. Where do you reside?a) Urban areab) Rural areaSome of the open ended questions that will be asked in the survey are, Are you satisfied with the kind of treatment offered at the Emergence Medicine Practice Hospital?

If so, what can you recommend to be added in the medical department?“Specifically, how will you rate the information given by Nurse__________ regarding STEMI disease?Data analysis methodInferential statistics will be the best because they will give out the best required results that will be analyzed. With the independent values being patients in rural areas will not be sequential and the dependant values being patients in urban areas will be the continuous variables. The hospital is in the urban area making the information to be continuous.

The null hypothesis confirms that the residence area of a STEMI patient is not correlated with the myocardial level of damage. Alternative analysis is the opposite of the null hypothesis (there is a correlation between the areas of residence of the patients and the level of myocardial)Data presentation strategyThe presentation of the information samples will be presented by the Clinical director in the Department of Emergency Medicine Joshua M. Kosowski, MD. The samples in the survey will be the patients that suffer from the disease.

The major key will be on the transportation of the sick patient from their residence to the hospital and all the challenges faced in the process duration of ten minutes. For the samples, they will be divided into two parts having ten patients from the rural area and ten from the urban area. ReferencesEslick, G. D. (2010). Chest pain. Philadelphia, Pa.: Saunders.
