DNP Method and Design
Three studies relating to the PICOT of this proposed study are the qualitative research study Ong, Chua and Ng (2014) on barriers and facilitators of self-monitoring sugar levels for diabetes patients, the quantitative study by Stevens, Shi, Vane, Nie and Peters (2015) on the experiences of diabetes patients receiving home care, and the mixed-methods research study of Wildeboer, du Pon, Schuling, Haaijer-Ruskamp and Denig (2018) on sharing decision making among general practice staff and diabetes patients. Each study utilized a different research and method to obtain data on topics related to diabetes research. These studies are compared in this paper and their methodologies and designs discussed, their internal and external validity issues evaluated, and possible methodologies and designs are identified that the researchers could have used to make their studies more beneficial.
Comparing Methodologies and Designs
Ong et al. (2014) conducted a qualitative method study, the design of which focused on identifying barriers and facilitators that patients suffering from type 2 diabetes face when they are attempting to monitor their own blood sugar levels. The method of collecting data was the interview method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted by the researchers with diabetes patients and transcripts of interviews were analyzed to identify themes that could help to explain what helped and hindered patients in the course of self-monitoring.

School Advisory Systems Some studies describe the attributes of programs that are run after school and assist in boosting social and academic growth of the youth in high school. Since the number of afterschool programs is limited, the importance of adopting the practices discussed in this paper will be significant and consequential. Following these practices will also help boost investment in after-school programs for youths in high school (Holstead, Hightower
Part 1 1. Explain the difference between the terms factors and treatments. Give an example Within an experimental setting, the term factor which is also referred to as an independent variable is a variable that is explanatory and can usually be manipulated by the one conducting the experiment. Every factor typically has different values meaning that there are two or more levels for the factor. On the other hand, treatment can be
Ethics comprises of an intricate set of principles, morals and institutional outlines that standardize scientific activity. Educational and social researchers face complex challenges occasionally, when they encounter the conflict of their legal and moral responsibility towards protection of their participants on one hand, and maintaining the standards, criteria of quality and significance of research on the other hand. Although, the research design or findings does not always restrained or deteriorated
dosage levels of Cholestease on Serum Cholesterol levels and the side effects associated with them in human beings. Cholesterol has been a major media issue in recent years, especially the negative effects on the heart and its role in the development of heart disease. There have been many studies that indicate a connection between serum cholesterol heart disease and depression (1-3). Developing new methods to lower serum cholesterol has become
He began to speak less formally, weaving his previously formulated questions into something that resembled a conversation. This led his interviewees to speak more candidly and with more self-reflection, moving beyond their celebrity images. Chirban's interactive interviewing required more empathy and listening skills on his part, but the trust that it established enabled him to enter the interviewee's world. The new relationship also allowed interviewees to reflect on their
The first is that of face validity, which was what, appeared from when looking directly at the design of the study. This appeared superb concept at first, but this was what made the experiment weak. He or she did not rely on this form when the investigation was conducted. However, the content validity worked well with this exploration on domestic violence because many of the participants were empowered to
