theoretical and conceptual framework

theoretical and conceptual framework

A theoretical and conceptual framework based on the subject was achieved by reviewing previously documented theories on the subject of oncology. In the recent years, there has been a surge of information on cancers and their proposed forms of management because it has become a public health concern. Through the analysis of the theories cited by various authors, I was able to construct a conceptual map narrowing precisely on the subject. I learned many aspects of oncology since it is a widely researched topic with many angles of patient management and treatment options as well. Research design learning outcome was met by identifying a design that was most appropriate with chosen research questions. I was able to identify various strengths and weaknesses of the design and relate to my topic. A research outcome is dependent on the design was chosen because quantitative and qualitative research designs are different and often provide results that could be significantly different. Through reading on the research designs and selecting an appropriate one for my topic, I was able to identify the most suitable design to use on the subject of oncology.

Through the problem statement, I came up with a method to select the sample size and sample characteristics based on the topic. A sampling technique is crucial in determining if, at the end of the research process, the results will be generalized to the entire population. I came up with a research question to help in addressing the research topic with the information on the existing instrument that would be used to address the research question. All the learning outcomes were successfully met through a proper literature review on the topic of oncology and the research of the appropriate research design.
