CHAPTER I: STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Draft the problem situation considering the relevant information that


evidence that the selected problem constitutes a situation that requires
to be investigated, for which it must gather and organize worldwide information,
Latin American, national and local.
In addition, you must outline the situation that prompted the investigation, here you can
detail the comments that the units of analysis may have provided
in an informal interview, these comments are in quotes.

1.1. Problem formulation


The formulation of the problem must maintain the following structure:
Drafted in the form of a question
Study variables
- Lugar de estudio (nombres completos de las instituciones o lugares)
Timeliness (month and year when it is presumed to take place
application)

1.2. Objetivos
The objectives must be written coherently with the question of
research, it should also be structured as follows:
Verb in infinitive (endings ar, er or ir)
Differentiate general verbs from specific ones.
Study variables
Place (applies to the general objective)
Temporality (applies to the general objective)

The specific objectives could detail the dimensions of the variables,


according to the researcher’s criteria.

Dr. Luz Olinda Fernández Henriquez


1.3. Justification
It must be written considering the following justifications or relevances.
for the execution of the research project:
Theoretical Justification
It is expected that the results will serve to complement or
to substantiate existing theories or models?
Practical Justification
Does the result of the research have a concrete application for
can you solve the problem?
Methodological Justification
Is it a project whose instruments could be used in others?
investigations?

1.4. Delimitation of the study area


Geographical delimitation, where the study will be developed
research.
Demographic delimitation, indicate the population to whom it will be directed.
study.
-Temporal delimitation refers to the period or date in which it
he will carry out the research work.

1.5. Limitations of the research


They are aimed at establishing whether the study would involve any limitations.
of a methodological nature, that does not allow for generalizing the results or
it could lead to some kind of bias (error).

Dr. Luz Olinda Fernández Henriquez


CHAPTER II: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

2.1 Bibliographic Background


- Source: Primaries (original articles).
Number: Five at a minimum
- Antigüedad: Tres a cinco años
Origins: International and national
Draft in a single paragraph.
Cite according to the Vancouver style

2.2 Theoretical Bases

Establish a logical order according to the studied variables.


Use citation according to the Vancouver style
It is important that the selected theoretical framework supports the
variables and dimensions studied.
According to the selected topic, you can establish a relationship with
some theory or model of Nursing.
Avoid figures or graphs
- In the use of tables for information needs, include the source (Arial
10)

2.3 Definition of operational concepts


It corresponds to the concepts related to the variables, for a
better understanding of the researcher's approach.
These must contain the unit of analysis, considering that they are
definitions of work, that is, specific to research.

Dra. Luz Olinda Fernández Henriquez


CHAPTER III: HYPOTHESES AND VARIABLES

3.1 Hypothesis
Hypotheses are only considered in the case that the researcher is
proposing an analytical or experimental study.
In these cases, statistical hypotheses (null and alternative) will be proposed that
they will encourage the use of the corresponding tests for their
verification.
In descriptive studies, only that which is by nature will be included.
The study does not require hypotheses.

3.2 Variables
Clearly define what the variables to be measured in the study will be.
- Use independent and dependent variables only if you will perform a
study that aims to determine causality (Case studies and
controls, cohorts, experimental

Dr. Luz Olinda Fernández Henriquez


CHAPTER IV: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

4.1 Type of research


The type of research will be limited to explaining the approach of the
research (Quantitative, qualitative or mixed)
It should include a citation (research book) to support its
election.

4.2 Research Method


You must support each of the methods to be used by citing (book of
research), these can be:
Purpose of the study: descriptive, correlational, pre-
experimental, quasi-experimental, others.
Application time: prospective or retrospective.
Temporal sequence: transversal or longitudinal.

4.3 Population and sample


Establish the following:
oPoblación total (número)
The type of sampling for the selection of the sample: probabilistic
(indicate the formula and its respective data) or non-probabilistic.
Sample number
Unit of analysis
Establish the inclusion and exclusion criteria: remember that
are characteristics that the researcher determines for the
selection of the units of analysis.
They are not criteria:
. Individuals who do not agree to participate in the study
. People who are on vacation
That is to say, all those characteristics that are determined
by the same participants, do not correspond to criteria of
exclusion.

Dr. Luz Olinda Fernández Henriquez


4.4 Data Collection Techniques
Consider the following order of narration:
Establish which technique you will use: Survey, observation, analysis
documentary or others.
Instrument: questionnaire, observation guide, checklist or others.

general data and specific data of the variable. (Annex 2)
Define whether the instrument has been developed by the researcher or other authors.
if so, establish the origin of the instrument (original language), then
who prepared the Spanish translation for its application. Data from

percentage, descriptive statistics through measures of
central tendency (mean, median, mode) and measures of
dispersion (variance and standard deviation).
In correlational, analytical, or experimental studies, use
descriptive and inferential statistics (parametric and non-parametric tests)
paramétricas).
To indicate the method of conducting the rating scale of the
variables.
. Example: Level of knowledge: Stannous scale or
Stallions.
