It was also found that higher levels of education were associated with a greater sense of well being across the dimensions. Using the prior quantitative information as a guideline, Clarke proceeds to the qualitative section of her research with the attempt to shed more light on aspects of the stroke experienced wither not researched in the prior study or that were left with ambiguous explanation.

Abstract This article examines literature related to the EBP problem of using the mCIMT intervention to help stroke patients regain motor function. Two studies are examined for their potential use in the EBP project. The first provides quantitative data obtained from a randomized controlled trial in which the mCIMT intervention was implemented. The second provides qualitative data obtained from in-depth, semi-structured interviews with three elderly stroke patients who underwent mCIMT to
Program Evaluation Integrate data collection methods into the program evaluation plan. The data collection method is seeking to integrate qualitative and quantitative research together.
