Paper on Healthcare professionals Views on patient centered care in hospitals

Study orientation (quantitative or qualitative)

The above article is about the professional view about the healthcare of the patient centers in the hospital. In this article, the study orientation is both quantitative as well as qualitative techniques (Berghout, Exel, Leensvaart, & Cramm, 2015). The quantitative data are supplemented by the qualitative data, which is obtained from the participants that also the explanation of the rank in the interviews.

The initial stage of the interpretations is drafted which is based on the quantitative data form the ranking statements of composites.  By using the consensus as well as distinguishes the different statements based on the qualitative data, which is obtained from the explanation of the respondents and connected by every factor.The investigation of eth patient center care is determined by the separate context by using both quantitative as well as qualitative data.  
Sample technique

           In this research study, a stratified sampling technique is used. Samples are selected in groups. There are a total of 3 groups and each group contains different samples size. For instance in surgical intensive care unit total of 15 samples, in geriatric department 16, and quality employees total of 3 samples are selected for the research study. Stratified sampling is a probability sampling technique that reduces the error of personal or convenience biases. According to the research information collected from research methodology, literature characteristics of the samples selected in this research study are appropriate according to the research topic. Getting responses from the healthcare professionals can help out the researcher to reach on the authentic information and conclusions.  

Sample characteristics

In the research, article researchers have presented sample characteristics in the table. According to the information presented in this table researcher selected samples on the basis of demographic and other characteristics such as sex, age, profession, and duration of work (Berghout, Exel, Leensvaart, & Cramm, 2015). However, the selected location for this research study is Mount Sinai Hospital in the Upper East Side and East Harlem.    

Research design strategy/ problems/limitations;
The research design is basically an experimental research design strategy based as it includes the collection of data through experiment and analysis of responses to reach the conclusion. This research study has some limitations that can affect the validity and reliability of the research findings. Somehow, most of these limitations are not directly concerned with the research design strategy as these are concerned with data analysis and sampling techniques.   
Development and/or assessment technique

PCC monitoring scale was developed as an instrument in this research study. The researcher used 8 PCC dimensions to measure the responses. The research instrument is taken from the previous research studies that reduce chances of validity and reliability as in previous research studies validity was verified.  

Data analysis and interpretation

In this research PQMethod, 2.11 software is used for statistical analysis of the collected data. Variance and factor analysis are used as data analysis techniques. While researcher interpreted the data on the basis of research findings and statistical results.
