1. What type of data do you need? In this study, the researchers use the quantitative data collection methods; they rely on random sampling, Michigan diabetic neuropathy score, and neuropathy quality of life questionnaire.
2. Where will the data come from? The required data will be provided by the diabetic patients; the patients will be asked to answer the online questionnaire that assesses patient’s subjective reports of functioning and quality of life in six domains. Participants were recruited from the hospital outpatient clinic; they were then explained the procedure of the study.
3. Are the data collection forms clear? Yes, getting the results from the questionnaire will be easy and clear to go from the original scoring sheets to the data collection form. There are 35 …show more content…
Use yourself as a source of a good system that others could follow It is a single blind trial that means other evaluators will assesses the patients for outcome measures at baseline and at the end of the study period. These assessors will get the training by me personally until I feel confident that they will do collecting data as I do.
6. What is your data collection schedule? The sample (n= 87) was diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy who were recruited from the hospital outpatient clinic. Each evaluation session will take about 15 min to determine the stage of diabetic neuropathy using Michigan diabetic neuropathy score there is 22 hours of testing. I will allocate 5 hours (25%) more time in the schedule for unexpected events. Therefore, I will schedule 6 hours daily for 4 days and half for testing.
7. How will you sample from the population? The sample was diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy who were recruited from the hospital outpatient clinic. The study will be conducted in Kasturba Hospital where the researcher is working that makes it easy to gain an access to these sample.
8. Are follow-ups needed to get all the data you can
