Assignment #1 for Online Learning Activity:
Identify Research Study Components
Review chapter on components of research study and the Johnston et al article for this assignment (attached).
1. Research Topic: The problem or phenomenon identified. It is a subject or issue of interest
to the researcher.
2. Problem Statement: describes a situation of concern.
3. Significance of the Problem: a statement that explains why this research is needed. It’s a
justification of the importance of the work and the impact it has on the
research field, it’s contribution to new knowledge and how others will benefit
from it.
4. Purpose Statement: Describes researchers’ intention of researching the problem to propose
a solution. The purpose statement includes a descriiption of the
methodology to be used and the parameters within which the
research will be conducted.
1. Analyze this passage to identify the research topic, problem statement, significance of the problem, and purpose of the study. This is an example of health disparity.
o In the United States, over a million people are living with HIV infection. Another half million have died from AIDS since the beginning of the HIV epidemic. The prevalence of HIV has increased among women, but especially among minority women. A larger proportion of minority women are uninsured when compared with nonminority women- a health disparity.
o Treatment of HIV has increased the life expectancy of patients. Viral suppression, however, requires greater than 90% adherence to expensive medications for life. Treatment fatigue has been linked to patients dropping out of care. No studies have been published that explore the experience of treatment fatigue from the perspectives of uninsured, minority women with HIV infection. This phenomenological study seeks to explore the lived experience of treatment fatigue in HIV infection among uninsured, minority women.
Identify the following components in the above statement:
a) The Research Topic,
b) Problem Statement,
c) Significance of the Problem,
d) The Purpose of the study.
2. In the attached article: Johnston et al. (2012) studied the effect of maternal touch and talk on the distress of infants and toddlers during invasive procedures. Read the article and answer the following questions.
a. What facts did the researchers cite to establish the significance of the research topic?
b. What was the purpose of the study? Why do this research?
c. What are the independent and dependent variables in this study?
d. Name possible confounding or extraneous or research variables (all the same thing).
