Question:

How could you improve on this study’s sampling method?


Chung and Hwang (2008) examined the difference between an experimental and a control group of patients with leukemia. The experimental group received two follow-up phone calls after discharge, and the control group received routine care. Their Table 2 is reproduced here as Table 9-6.

Adapted from September 2008 Oncology Nursing Forum article “Education for Homecare patients with Leukemia following a cycle of chemotherapy: An exploratory pilot study” by Yu-Chu Chung, and Huei-Lih Hwang, Oncology Nursing Forum, 35(5), pp. E86-E87. Reproduced with permission of the Oncology Nursing Society.

Before working at Mariakani, I volunteered at a local community center, where I tutored students from diverse backgrounds. I helped them improve their academic performance and develop self-esteem and confidence. I used creative teaching methods, such as role-playing and group discussions, to make the learning experience more engaging and enjoyable. In addition, I have conducted workshops and training sessions for educators and mental health professionals on various topics related to counseling and psychology. I have presented research papers at conferences and published articles in academic journals. Overall, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others achieve their goals. I believe that tutoring is an excellent way to make a positive impact on people's lives, and I am committed to providing high-quality, personalized instruction to my students.
