Research Proposal Draft Monica Williams South University NSG 6101 Professor Ruthie Robinson February 16, 2024
Methodology The methodology of this study will be quantitative, focusing on senior citizens at a Continuous Care Retirement Community (CCRC) aged 65 years and above who have experienced falling. The data for this research will be collected using two major approaches: conducting direct surveys and analyzing incident reports. The gathered information will be classified into themes through thematic analysis to make it comprehensible for current and future audiences. Sample/Setting This study’s selected sample of CCRC-dwelling senior citizens who are 65 years and above and have experienced falling comprises 55 individuals from both genders. The criteria for participants’ inclusion in this research entailed being 65 years and above, being a resident of the Weston retirement community, and having experienced falling in the last four years. The setting of this research is a Continuous Care Retirement Community with over 4,000 residents, 45% of whom are 65 years of age and above. This area gives the researcher a chance to choose specific participants that suit the research study and can give the appropriate results. Sampling Strategy The most effective sampling strategy for this study is purposive because it provides room for the researcher to choose the participants according to the objective of the study. According to Campbell et al (2020), research focusing on specific people should have articulate objectives thus providing reliable conclusions. In this case, the study aims to have the elderly above 65 years of age and those from the CCRC area. In addition, this particular sampling strategy reduces the resources and funds used for the study thus achieving the desired results. Research Design
As indicated previously, the research design is randomized controlled trial (RCT) which is experimental. This design helps researchers meet study objectives without introducing bias considering the participants are elderly. According to Gile (2015), this research design also offers researchers a chance to choose specific participants for the study hence attaining the set objectives.
