...Unit 22 P3: Compare different research methodologies for health and social care. In this assignment I will compare different research methodologies for health and social care. The methodology is the overall approach you select to conduct your research – for example, whether you will use a scientist or social; science methodology. It includes the specific methods you will use and the literature search to contextualise your project within existing knowledge and understanding of the subject. Primary research involves seeking new knowledge that has not been previously published. The researcher gathers new data from participant or by examining objects, material or data in a different way from previous studies. Primary research in health and social care often involves gathering data from individuals. Surveys using questionnaires and interviews are commonly used techniques and participants may be users of services or members of the public. Secondary research is about finding out new information or understanding, a researcher needs to know what the existing information and understanding about the topic is, as published in books, journals and on the internet. Secondary research is essential for any research project. All researchers need to read widely around their subject of interest sp that they are aware not just of long-established knowledge but also of new knowledge that is emerging while they are doing their own research. Quantitative research involves numbers and measuring...

...BTEC National Diploma in Health and Social Care Unit 22: Research Methodology Task 1: P3 Introduction: In this assignment I am going to be creating a table comparing the different research methodologies in health and social care. Research methods are “the various specific tools or ways data can be collected and analysed, e.g. a questionnaire, interview, etc.” (Neville, C, 2007). Methods | Advantages | Disadvantages | Validity | Questionnaires are “a series of questions asked to individuals to obtain statistically useful information about a given topic” (Bryant, L, 2014). There are different types of questionnaires that include face to face, phone, post and online. | -Practical-Large amount of information from a large amount of people can be collected in a cost effective way.-The results can be easily quantified.-It can be carried out by the researcher or any number of people without affecting its validity and reliability.-The results can be analysed more ‘scientifically’ and objectively than other forms of research (University of Surrey, 2014). | -Format makes it difficult to for the researcher to examine complex issues and opinions.-The person which the questionnaire has been send to may not actually fill it.-If the researcher is not present it may be hard to tell whether the participant has understood the question.-The meaning of the questions may be different to the each participant.-In postal questionnaires, the number of them being returned tends to be very low...

Functions of Research In pairs read through the following study and discuss the function(s) that the research can be used for. Aim: Hofling (1966) aimed to discover whether nurses would comply with an instruction which would involve them having to infringe both hospital regulations & medical ethics.

...Unit 22: Q1) explain with examples from the case above whether a duty of care existed between the businesses mentioned and their victims. A1) there were some duty of care between the bread business and the customer. The premier foods spokesman said, “We apologise profusely for the distress caused as a result of the isolated incident.” They also said, “as soon as this complaint was made we stopped all bakery production at that site and appointed an independent specialist contractor to conduct thorough investigation.” This shows us that there is a duty of care between the business and the customer as they understand the mistake they have made and investigated further into the premises where the bread was made. Ronald Lim, also the owner of a Chinese restaurant almost served a sweet and sour sauce which had a mouse in the bowl and had been fined £30,000. This shows that the duty of care on the customers of the Chinese restaurant was not shown. Q2) explain with evidence which suggests that the duty of care owed by these businesses were breached? A2) the evidence which shows that the duty of care was breached by these businesses are that they failed to proceed with any quality checks on their products. If their checks had been completed thoroughly there would not have been bread or sweet and sour sauce with mouse’s in it. If this had also been completed the two businesses wouldn’t have found themselves in this situation of paying fines and affecting their reputation. Q3) were...

Then the total cost of transportation is: Z = 12 X11 + 15 X12 + 17 X13 + 14 X21 + 9 X22 + 10 X23 + 13 X31 + 20 X32 + 11 X33 + 17 X41+ 16 X42 + 19 X43 + 7 X51 + 14 X52+ 12 X53 + 22 X61 + 16 X62 + 18 X63.

...numbers things are slightly different. In that case we need to find the middle pair of numbers, and then find the value that would be half way between them. This is easily done by adding them together and dividing by two. An example will help: 3, 13, 7, 5, 21, 23, 23, 40, 23, 14, 12, 56, 23, 29 If we put those numbers in order we have: 3, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14, 21, 23, 23, 23, 23, 29, 40, 56 There are now fourteen numbers and so we don't have just one middle number, we have a pair of middle numbers: 3, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14, 21, 23, 23, 23, 23, 29, 40, 56 In this example the middle numbers are 21 and 23. To find the value half-way between them, add them together and divide by 2: 21 + 23 = 44 44 ÷ 2 = 22 And, so, the Median in this example is 22. (Note that 22 was not in the list of numbers ... but that is OK, because half the numbers in the list are less, and half the numbers are...

...3 这人每年从本城上到示罗，敬拜祭祀万军之耶和华。在那里有以利的两个儿子何弗尼，非尼哈当耶和华的祭司。 4 以利加拿每逢献祭的日子，将祭肉分给他的妻毗尼拿和毗尼拿所生的儿女。 5 给哈拿的却是双分，因为他爱哈拿。无奈耶和华不使哈拿生育。 6 毗尼拿见耶和华不使哈拿生育，就作她的对头，大大激动她，要使她生气。 7 每年上到耶和华殿的时候，以利加拿都以双分给哈拿。毗尼拿仍是激动她，以致她哭泣不吃饭。 8 她丈夫以利加拿对她说，哈拿阿，你为何哭泣，不吃饭，心里愁闷呢。有我不比十个儿子还好麽。 9 他们在示罗吃喝完了，哈拿就站起来。祭司以利在耶和华殿的门框旁边，坐在自己的位上。 10 哈拿心里愁苦，就痛痛哭泣，祈祷耶和华， 11 许愿说，万军之耶和华阿，你若垂顾婢女的苦情，眷念不忘婢女，赐我一个儿子，我必使他终身归与耶和华，不用剃头刀剃他的头。 12 哈拿在耶和华面前不住地祈祷，以利定睛看她的嘴。 13 原来哈拿心中默祷，只动嘴唇，不出声音，因此以利以为她喝醉了。 14 以利对她说，你要醉到几时呢。你不应该喝酒。 15 哈拿回答说，主阿，不是这样。我是心里愁苦的妇人，清酒浓酒都没有喝，但在耶和华面前倾心吐意。 16 不要将婢女看作不正经的女子。我因被人激动，愁苦太多，所以祈求到如今。 17 以利说，你可以平平安安地回去。愿以色列的神允准你向他所求的。 18 哈拿说，愿婢女在你眼前蒙恩。于是妇人走去吃饭，面上再不带愁容了。 19 次日清早，他们起来，在耶和华面前敬拜，就回拉玛。到了家里，以利加拿和妻哈拿同房，耶和华顾念哈拿， 20 哈拿就怀孕。日期满足，生了一个儿子，给他起名叫撒母耳，说，这是我从耶和华那里求来的。 21 以利加拿和他全家都上示罗去，要向耶和华献年祭，并还所许的愿。 22 哈拿却没有上去，对丈夫说，等孩子断了奶，我便带他上去朝见耶和华，使他永远住在那里。 23 她丈夫以利加拿说，就随你的意行吧。可以等儿子断了奶。但愿耶和华应验他的话。于是妇人在家里乳养儿子，直到断了奶。 24 既断了奶，就把孩子带上示罗，到了耶和华的殿。又带了三只公牛，一伊法细面，一皮袋酒。那时孩子还小。 25 宰了一只公牛，就领孩子到以利面前。 26 妇人说，主阿，我敢在你面前起誓，从前在你这里站着祈求耶和华的那妇人，就是我。 27 我祈求为要得这孩子。耶和华已将我所求的赐给我了。 28 所以，我将这孩子归与耶和华，使他终身归与耶和华。于是在那里敬拜耶和华。 2 1 哈拿祷告说，我的心因耶和华快乐。我的角因耶和华高举。我的口向仇敌张开。我因耶和华的救恩欢欣。 2 只有耶和华为圣。除他以外没有可比的，也没有磐石像我们的神。 3 人不要夸口说骄傲的话，也不要出狂妄的言语。因耶和华是大有智识的神，人的行为被他衡量。 4 勇士的弓都已折断。跌倒的人以力量束腰。 5 素来饱足的，反作用人求食。饥饿的，再不饥饿。不生育的，生了七个儿子。多有儿女的，反倒衰微。 6 耶和华使人死，也使人活，使人下阴间，也使人往上升。 7 他使人贫穷，也使人富足，使人卑微，也使人高贵。 8 他从灰尘里抬举贫寒人，从粪堆中提拔穷乏人，使他们与王子同坐，得着荣耀的座位。地的柱子属于耶和华。他将世界立在其上。 9 他必保护圣民的脚步，使恶人在黑暗中寂然不动。人都不能靠力量得胜。 10 与耶和华争竞的，必被打碎。耶和华必从天上以雷攻击他，必审判地极的人，将力量赐与所立的王，高举受膏者的角。 11 以利加拿往拉玛回家去了。那孩子在祭司以利面前事奉耶和华。 12 以利的两个儿子是恶人，不认识耶和华。 13...
