Data Analysis PlanFor this section of your research proposal assignment, you will carefully design a plan for analyzing your quantitative data. Explain in detail how you will go about analyzing your data. Be sure to:Include definitions of all variablesIdentify your null hypothesis and research hypothesisInclude the type of analysis to be conducted t-testExplain why this type of analysis is most appropriate for your researchIdentify the significance level (typically set to .05, but may be set to .01 or .10)Explain what results you are looking for in your quantitative study (how will you know if you will accept or reject your null and research hypothesis?)APA formatting, references, and citations are required.

Information on Sample:
•
Sampling basic information (age, gender, criteria)
The research will include treatment studies, observational studies, uncontrolled studies, and nonrandomized studies. It will consist in the investigation of the impact of behavioral management
on weight loss after bariatric surgery. In the research it will include adult patients (both male and
female) who are eighteen years and above and who have undergone bariatric surgery (Zagarins,
2011).
Criteria to consider in the research include:
•
Behavioral management that is purposely aimed at encouraging lifestyle changes such as
behavioral weight management, support groups, and psychotherapy
•
Outcome variable that include indications of body weight changes following behavioral
management
Sample size:
The research will involve about 500 patients who have or are undergoing bariatric
surgery. In the research, it will consist of the use of a longitudinal assessment of bariatric surgery
to classify laboratory and clinical assessment. Further, smoking will be assessed by asking the
patients if they smoke and number of cigarettes they smoke daily (Zagarins, 2011).
The reason why the sample is appropriate for the study:
The sample will be appropriate for the study because it will involve in the assessment of
patients for psychosocial and behavioral factors that are closely related to weight loss. This will

enable to assess post-surgical self-management behavior, patient-perceived emotional distress
and depression as relating to post-surgical treatment regimens.
Reliability
The reason why the data collection process is consistent and reliable:
The collection process will be consistent and reliable since it will include the following criteria:
•
Assessment of the self-management-s post-bariatric surgery behavior – adherence to the
behavior will be ensured by skilled medical doctors to enhancing patients’ success after
bariatric surgery
•
The benefit of weight loss will be assessed by usage of ‘Perceived Benefits
Questionnaire” – this will help to assess ranges of perceived benefits with inclusion of
self-perceptions and daily functioning relating to post-surgery weight loss (Zagarins,
2011).
The reason why the measurement tool is reliable:
In the research, it will use test-retest reliability tool to measuring reliability of the results.
In this case, the administration of the same test to the bariatric surgery patients twice over a
given period of time. Following the correlation, the result in order to evaluating the tests for
ensuring stability.
Validity
How to a valid sample:
In the study, it will use the “construct validity” (Rudolf, 2013). This will ensure that the
measuring in the bariatric surgery research measures what is purposely intended to measure
Running Head: RESEARCH PROPOSAL
and not any other variable. In the research, a panel of experts who will be familiar with
Construct Validity. The experts will involve in examining the patients in order obtain
relevant and consistent results.
How to test the validity of the measurement tool:
To ensure the validity of the measurement tool, it will involve the assessment if the
measurement tool is able to prove information that can improve the bariatric surgery
research. Every measure will be taken to ensure the objectives and goals are operationalized
and clearly defined (Rudolph, 2013). The measurement tool to the objectives and goals will
be aligned.

Essentially, research involving humans has rules intended to protect individuals, their
right to choose and privacy. For this research, the focus will be considering how these laws apply
to bariatric patients. Depict the rules for directing involvement in this study of human subjects
under strictest ethical standards. For any given research, it is proper that ethics are observed by
all means as this is the only way that one can get to have the desired outcomes. In a situation
where ethics are not factored in, especially when dealing with humans, the transparency, trust
and objectivity is lost due to the violation of individuals and their trust. Some people might feel
either disrespected or just choose to give false data hence leading to wrong results
(Wimmelmann, 2013).
The respect for people assumes the behavior of individuals and the respect and thought
they are expected. It includes the involvement of people needed in research straightforwardly as
Respect for People perceives the characteristic estimation of people and the respect and thought
that they are expected. It incorporates the treatment of people required in research
straightforwardly as members and the individuals who are members on the grounds that their
information or human natural materials, which for the reasons for this Policy incorporate
materials identified with human multiplication, are utilized as a part of research. Respect for
People fuses the double good commitments to respect self-governance and to ensure those with
creating debilitated or lessened self-sufficiency (Wimmelmann, 2013).
Recruitment incorporates the capacity to ponder about a choice and to act in light of that
consultation. Respecting self-governance implies giving due yielding to the individuals judgment
and guaranteeing that the individual is allowed to participate and consent sharing personal
information. Self-sufficiency is not practiced in segregation but rather is impacted by a man’s

different associations with family, to the group, and to social, social, etymological, religious and
different gatherings. Similarly, a man’s choices can affect any of these associations (Funk, 2015).
To begin with, standards advance the points of research, for example, learning, truth, and
shirking of blunder. For instance, denials against manufacturing, distorting, or distorting research
information advance reality and limit mistake.
Second, since research frequently includes a lot of participation and coordination among
a wide range of individuals in various orders and foundations, moral models advance the
qualities that are fundamental to collective work, for example, put stock in, responsibility, shared
respect, and decency (Funk, 2015).
For the recruitment process, recruiting emails would be sent to an email list of a specific
intrigue aggregate or an email list of a specific association. The cost is low and, if your list
contains countless, it could without much of a stretch help you to enlist a decent number of
research members (Pera, 2012). In any case, reaction weariness is a specific hazard with this
strategy. Over-abusing individuals on those lists by sending rehashed recruitment messages can
bring about the enrollment specialist being hailed as a wellspring of spam.
Essentially, acquiring on the web internet searcher promotions empower you to enroll
members who scan for particular watchwords. Clients’ conduct is the most grounded flag of their
interests, consequently, the statistical surveying group can be sure that the members they enroll
are for the most part liable to fit the profile they have at the top of the priority list.
The exploration will be directed in two orderly hunts of English dialect writing in
MEDLINE. The first will be on information accumulation registries identified with WLS; the
second one being an extended hunt including other surgical fields, for example, heart and

thoracic surgery and registries, for instance, growth. A profound hunt will be done to think of
articles that are apropos (Pera, 201). Information will be removed, and confirm classes allocated
as per an evaluating framework in view of set up confirmation based models. Suggestions ought
to be gotten from these writing audits and expert opinion.
