I need help preparing my purpose statement to align with my problem statement.

The problem is that healthcare professionals are not always adequately trained for disaster readiness, which results in inadequate responses during emergencies (Melnychuk et al., 2022).

Clearly explain the proposed study by saying,The purpose of this proposed...

defining the method (this is whether you select a quantitative or qualitative study),

stating the design (this relates to how you plan to collect and analyze the datafor example, a case study for qualitative research or a correlational study for quantitative research)

Identify the key variables (for example, who are your proposed participants and how many). Note: quantitative research requires approximately 100 participants; qualitative research should have 15-25 participants.

Stating the geographic location of the intended research: use the region (Western region, Northeast, Southwest, Central Plains, Great Lakes, etc.), as we are not allowed to give the city or state name (to preserve confidentiality).

How the study may help leaders (since you are earning a leadership degree)

Sample Purpose Statement

The purpose of this proposed qualitative exploratory study is to explore why caregivers do not practice good self-care and to explore barriers preventing good self-care practices. Ten caregivers from Dallas, Texas, caring for partners with breast cancer will participate in semi-structured interviews. The purpose of the interviews is to understand why caregivers do not practice good self-care and to describe possible barriers preventing good self-care practices. The results of the study could encourage caregivers to implement good self-care practices to avoid becoming physically and psychologically ill.
