Can you please respond to 2 of my classmates, 1 page to each classmate posting with at least 2 references to each response. Respond to two of your colleagues in two of the following ways: Provide additional strategies for addressing challenges to obtaining a sample from the identified population Suggest a different population that may be appropriate for addressing the research problem Summarize the strengths of the data collection method identified in the post Share any problems or concerns over the identified data collection method Suggest an alternative data collection method and provide your rationale CLASSMATE#1 Researchable Population in my area of Practice I work in cardiology and see lots of patient with different cardiac issues. The age, race, and sex of the patients varies. There are lots of researchable cardiac issue from pre/post-operative to controlling hypertension. The most appropriate populations in my area of practice are heart failure patients. These patients are seen quite frequently and have so many area of focus for a research study. Despite the advancements in healthcare, heart failure remains challenging to managing. Heart failure will continue to be a major problem in the healthcare field unless universal standards are established. Heart failure management is less successful without the participation of the patient and their families. Heart failure can be a disabling and deadly condition that leads to structure damage and decreased efficiency of the heart. The population selections would focus on heart failure patients 25 – 65 years of age that are hospitalized 2 or more times in one year. Sex and ethnicity of the patients would not play a role in sample selection. Challenges of Obtaining a Sample Working at a facility with a large patient population allows for little challenges with obtaining a sample size. The challenges will be with patient cooperation. Heart failure patients can be non-compliant with the plan of care set by their PCP or cardiologist. It will be challenging getting the patients to comply with dietary restrictions, medication regimen, and keeping appointments. Patient’s being non-compliant contributes to worsening of symptoms and hospitalization. Since research involves a great deal of cooperation and coordination amongst a multi-disciplinary team, patients, and their family ethical standards and values will be important. It will be challenging to maintain trust, fairness and accountability. These challenge can be addressed by seeing the patients prior to hospital discharge for exacerbation of heart failure. At discharge, patients are willing to listen to ways they can decrease their risk for re-hospitalization. They will be more willing to participate in a program that may help decrease their risk of re-hospitalization within 30 days of discharge. At that time a trusting rapport can be built and ethical principles will be discussed, which will help eliminated the challenges. Approach to Collecting Data from the Sample A quantitative experimental approach would be a good method to use to collect data from the sample population. With an experimental data collection, some variables are changed and the researcher observers the effects of the other variables (Grove and Sutherland, 2021). This will be the best approach to gathering data for the experiment. The experiment would be conducted using two sets of variables. The first variable would consist of post hospitalization follow-ups weekly for 4 weeks. The other variable would be the hospital standard follow up, which is patients are seen 1 time within 2 weeks of hospital discharge. This scientific method will establish the cause-effect relationship among the group of variables that are in the study. The independent variable will be manipulated to determine the effects of the dependent variables. References Gray, J.R., Grove, S.K., & Sutherland, S. (2021).

CLASSMATE#2 Sampling Sampling is a critical process in preparing for the study. The researchable population in my area of practice is children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Specifically, it is expected to focus on two groups of children from four to six years old and those from the ages of ten to fourteen, as these are two periods when type 1 diabetes is more likely to be diagnosed (Chiang et al., 2018). All participants have to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes who display difficulties with diabetes self-management skills since it is a primary focus of the research. It is critical to determine how lack of self-management skills affects mental health issues in children with type 1 diabetes. The sampling strategy has to be stratified, as the study has to involve participants with specific characteristics (Setia, 2017). For instance, the study would have to choose participants among two specific groups of patients with type 1 diabetes diagnosis. In addition, the study would have to ensure that the respondents experience problems due to their gap in diabetes self-management skills. The primary challenge to obtaining a sample from this population is the age of participants. There are multiple restrictions of working with minors in research, as well as their caregivers could refuse to enroll their children in a study (Abramson et al., 2018). The ethical code of conduct requires safeguarding minors from involving them insensitive studies. It is planned to address these challenges by strictly following the code of research conduct, allocating more time for sampling and seeking the needed number of participants, and avoiding sensitive themes in questionnaires (Miller et al., 2017). It is expected to use the survey as the primary instrument for data collection, as this method helps to conduct this process remotely and measure the coping skills and mental health state from the perspectives of the participants (Gray et al., 2021). While a remote data collection could include some bias, the survey proposes participants a comfortable process of filling out the questionnaire. Also, this approach is more appropriate due to the restriction of social contact. References Abramson, E. L., Paul, C. R., Petershack, J., Serwint, J., Fischel, J.
