No. Yes. OK. So for the problem statement, uh uh as you see here, we can describe by detail your problem in order to address your research proposal and the purpose of your study. The is a paragraph, I mean uh what hand the scenario, what the arm causes and arm selection like the project? OK. I had that I study and let's say main effect for sure. Uh is a good uh uh part uh to describe this problem statement. OK. Context of the problem. And as the problem statement, moving to talk about the study objectives, evaluation of professional physician in preventing and the step. So moving to uh uh your primary and secondary objective, the primary objectives and no, but they have be um the main objective, smart objectives related to uh my goal, primary and secondary objective, two or more than two objects, objectives pay acts and as five objectives or four objectives. But the na or reflection will instrument in tools survey is objective at three part of questions, part of questions and objective, objective objectives. Many questions, why not? OK. What the bone ana ana let's say to identify the level of practices for the professional uh physician regarding the prevention of common infection. As an objective, smart to identify a level of uh attitude or practice. OK. What objective to determine action and I will be previous uh uh previous sessions, right? But the objective and he is smart, objective measurable action to determine uh to uh compare right to practice all p position between different units. Determination to compare to compare level and commitment alone between facilities. A commitment. Private hospital studies are concerning nurses and good performance and no commitment or productivity. Our private hospitals will public hospitals. OK. Object. And they determine compare, identify to explore challenges related challenges of factors. Physicians might committed preventive measures, right? Is the application is our objective to uh identify the uh practice level A as a the name of but you know a a practice level. OK. Five practices but literature review, but you have guidelines but this should should be practices. There's a commitment that OK, mention how another uh questions another objective. OK. To explore challenges, challenges. OK. And what is the previous studies? OK. Yes. Uh and the level of uh physician. OK. Hydramine objectives. When OK. Hi de objectives. OK. Primary and she will perform a sh I be and all the related factors. I'm right. Um But the objective uh OK. Of OK. Hi. An will assist and an evaluation la la performance. OK. How to evaluate this role of heal performance in preparedness? La la la emergencies. During uh disaster medications, uh service objective. But the to explore the challenges facing them, um like a good preparedness and what are their uh uh opinions or their subject. But uh opportunities suggestion how to improve preparedness, I will be higher. But these are what have you abdominal topic bad about, right. Third, what objective? OK. Moving to the study hypothesis. Yes, reminder. And the question. OK. Thank you. But the explanation of the practice, OK. Is very important hypothesis, quantitative. But correlation between two variables, dependent and dependent is small non hypo alternative hypothesis. OK. And a significant association between and, and, and uh uh uh there is no significant association between and OK. Objective. The improvement prevented prevention infections, great impact a increasing. OK. A literature review, I think, you know, make sure for recent articles, recent uh uh uh uh um uh information. OK. There is no reason to study studies is no uh research and investigation in National International Middle East. These are questions over conclusion have taken question mark, be good statement. OK. But these are questions. What does ma ma I practices learn professional physicians? II degrees in infection rate, muscle. OK. So problem or issue. But OK. So about the methodological design, a problem statement. What do you expect? And we could study design is for qualitative quantitative, cross sectional transversal. She, no, she naked. Yes. Yes. Uh studies cross sectional retrospective, a quantitative statistic addition to section a little information but II think the hospital that day until that time study in your hospital will be a OK. Let's see design, cross sectional wall transversal. It can be one hospital. Um What exactly right population will include your exclusion. OK. The transversa OK. We s representative but killing physicians in M and hospital. OK. By simple size calculation, simple size calculation uh numbers. Yeah. How many case will will you include? OK. The study design right? Population had that inclusion exclusion. Very important to be mentioned the demographic affiliation as uh population but the effort in this regard. OK. Criteria. But the man is his own right. And the data collection, data collection collection, right? Studies. Previous studies, previous validated studies. OK. Valid valid question uh structure questionnaire was developed and adjusted related to the previous study reference in between the brackets. OK. OK. OK. Technique an intervention to before and after right group group, right? Study in a comparative study uh statistical data analysis of the comparative study. OK. The much of it objected to compare oh no, OK. Another uh uh input uh he concerned you uh the procedure for the uh very important, you know, let's say very important, let's say OK, hello, data collection method. You know the data collection tools have a collection tool uh trial A an old uh pilot study at least as we both uh 10 participants, the data collection for approval expert and, and background ex uh experience B uh in uh gu right? I an example is a, he is an expert, had a big disaster management information analysis analysis, method modification study. Uh He description but OK, descriptive analysis study should analysis to so. But the the data analysis and a practice or association. Hello, challenges. But the normality distribution testing will be done on SPS version 29. OK. Very important. OK. Uh This kind of analysis data, why not share uh uh other uh another opinion, another opinions in this uh refer to the chart and you had chart. Uh Can you read uh please? Uh oh, and I can, could uh we adapt data collection tool from another uh study that have shown it's without if you can, but you can find one that collect tool is a questionnaire from A to Z and validated A. You can um referred to this uh data collection pool population let on consideration. Uh and Makina before and two axis. Some uh research report to IRI you from A to Z technique or procedures. OK. Uh Recommendation to improve your data collection too. OK. For my phd oh. Uh finally for a small software gun gun chart. Uh uh Can I uh put uh on that chart? Right on that chart? Yes. How about on the OK, gout chart, a gun chart or software as a timetable for your inputs. Uh uh Very important introduction. Uh uh the software uh three weeks. OK. And after one month without OK. To uh to study object and so on the software with a delay, you know what I mean about my achievement, the date and, and B 15 January 2024 focused achievement 15, December uh 15 January introduction when you share your gun with your supervisor of P I and so in your proposal, right? OK. Clear. Uh people are simple, simple, uh more like you uh like like this uh uh template. Yeah. And it have to time date and face OK. Status. Yeah. And I keep the one that before in progress by then but he uh he uh and funding, right? Research six months every stage. OK. OK. So for sure. Uh you know about the uh references and uh funding is optional. Uh E exactly has is required or not required and if he proposal because he required hotel funding, right? Stakeholders, our partners, our parties in this regard we will have uh to mention in. OK. That's all. So if you have uh any questions uh uh is that uh the time, limited time or information? OK. The collected data patient. Five. OK. Uh Make sure, make sure template template. But between appendix A, I will refer to Appendix A two. Uh all was crystal clear from my side. Thank you. How the questions guys. It's questions. Uh Hello, hello and uh to avoid or to minimize. OK. All right. OK. Information questionnaire. Uh one minute. OK. I heard about what for questions and for the announcement come in my questionnaire. Ok. Uh, ok. He had said about the scale. Uh, if we need to use them, can we choose specific questions from the scale or have to choose specific questions? And please tell a specific question on the scale or do you have? Oh, I do. I didn't, uh, one time.
