W6-Research Study Analysis Children Living with Pain Ed Fountain
This study was conducted impart to further the understanding of the how children can live with pain. The research was carried out over a period of one year. Of importance are the children populations sampled for these studies are from the developing country of Thailand. This study is more in depth about the underlying and topical analysis. As stated Jongudomkarn, Aungsupakorn, Camfield (2006) “Understanding the meaning of pain to a person requires an interpretative or “hermeneutic” approach. We have taken a postmodern or post structural perspective as this can best capture the experiences and social context of people who are underprivileged (e.g. children living with pain), enabling their voices to be heard when health-care policy is planned and carried out.” One has to understand western cultural treatment is not widely practiced and the cultural ideas outweigh some practical attempts to understand perceptions, and the meaning of living with pain as a child. The analysis focused on a population of children with data collected from a total of forty nine children total. The ages were from four to eighteen years old. The break out of the population was seventeen children living in the community and thirty two children residing in the hospital. The participants studied in this case would represent a sample of the population of children.
What Conclusion Can Be Drawn Of A Hypothesis?
If one were to accept the null hypothesis, one could technically say that one accepts the alternative hypothesis. The study concludes that children sampled in Thailand have deeper cultural reactions to pain. The association of the parents feeling anxiety and fear can be measured by the children’s further enhancement of the emotional reaction to pain. The conclusions in this study are stated as rejecting or failing to reject hypothesis rather than accepting hypothesis. The evidence can’t be fully accepted or rejected because of the cultural fabric of the children’s society. One would express support in this case for a null hypothesis.
Testing the Numbers
The usage of drawing was very interesting to one in understanding the bulk of statistical studies that were done. Observational test were used to interpret coupled with questions and answers to build an analysis of the children living with pain in Thailand. This group was further identified by breaking down the composition of participants. Seventeen of the children were identified as having sudden alimentary syndrome or involved in motorcycle accidents. This group consisted of eight boys and nine girls, ages six to eighteen years old. The other participants that were studied comprised of thirty two were chronically ill, and admitted to the hematological and card for by parents and grandparents. As stated Jongudomkarn, Aungsupakorn, Camfield (2006) “Fielding’s methods for content analysis (Dey, 1993) were used in the following stages: (i) rereading the data to deepen the researchers’ understanding; (ii) reclassifying the data; (iii)
