Example of Conceptual Framework

The problem statement or hypothesis

The purpose of this study was naturalistic performance dimensions that the health of women with interstitial cystitis (IC), affect the relationship between these dimensions and the current wife of self-care practices in the management of their disease identification to describe. Last question: What is the relationship between the subjective assessment of women for effective self-care and other health measures?

Theoretical and conceptual framework

While the literature refers to the deep impact of IC on the lives of women, there is a lack of research on specific aspects of self-care and outcomes in women with this disease. For this reason, and mental health communities are not aware of the best ways to improve IC patients to help their recovery. For this gap in the literature, this study specifically examined the results and naturalistic dimensions affecting the health of women with IC and affect the relationships between these dimensions and the contemporary women's self-care management practices for disease identification.

Design research

For this proposal, the authors used a combination of qualitative methods. This study examines the naturalistic self-care and health agreed format and not the manipulation of these variables. Nonprobability collection worked. The participants represented three different groups of patients: (1) support group leaders Interstitial Cystitis Association (ICA) of the USA and Canada (2), and ICA congress (3) asked subjects ICA online health newsletter.

52-page survey, which is a combination of self-report Likert scale, categorical description and open questions, collecting data in a multi-dimensional experience and management of IC. Limitation of the study include the inability to take time for the reported effectiveness of self care and the size and dimensions of health care to identify.

The data collection procedures

Before the study was to study the adoption of the profit. Informed consent was obtained from all participants. Participants were selected by three groups of patients. They were informed that the purpose of this study was to assess the use and effectiveness of self-care strategies to manage increasing IT training.

IC SCR, adapted from the observations of self-care tools used in this study. Assesses cognitive and behavioral strategies used by women for the problems in response to various potential and actual threats to female sexuality. IC-SCR was designed to obtain information about self-care implementation of universal, developmental and health deviation. Almost 300 points of the IC-SCR on hygiene, nutrition, cognitive phenomenon, social support and stress and more. Respondents were asked to indicate how often each strategy over the past year and expected performance.

Data Quality

The data is very good as it can be used for decision making and planning, ultimately, the effectiveness of self care and health outcomes of women with IC increase.

Qualitative analysis

Number of self-care and support items and the proportion of subjects excluded most forms of multivariate analysis. Initially, the relationship between self-care factors, efficiency and effectiveness of the measures revealed several significant relationships, partly due to the loss of data, because variations in the number of people who actually have used every self-care.

Interpretation of results

There were no significant correlations between self-care and professional adaptation efficiency. Professional groups may consist of work, school, home work, or a combination thereof. There were no significant correlations between self-care items, performance or extended family relationships and internal relationships. Only self-care efficacy items significantly correlated with the perception of care, the practice of meditation in the acute phase. The results of this study suggest that it is important to the many dimensions of health by identifying a chronic illness.
