Examining a qualitative study of patients' perceptions of early supported discharge for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Evaluating home hospitalization program in patients with exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Define Hypotheses
If the medical department will explore and adhere to their patient's views of discharging the COPD patients early, the mortality rate of COPD patients will decrease.
If hospitalization programs dealing with COPD patients are evaluated, the efficacy of the programs will be enhanced.
Define Independent and Dependent Variables and Types of Data for Variables
The independent variable is the patient perception about early discharge, while the dependent variable in the experiment is COPD patients.
Qualitative data was used to analyze and describe the findings of the study. The data was effective since it is subjective and used for comparison.
The study's independent variable is home hospitalization programs, while the dependent variable is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients.
The study was done with qualitative data to interpret the results and methods of the study.
