Question

Can you help me with the theoretical framework, review of literature and data analysis please:

Intro:

The birth of a baby can trigger many extreme emotions in a woman’s life. Unfortunately, some women experience more depression and anxiety than excitement. Many moms experience this depression for the first one to two days which is called “baby blues,” which fixes itself and resolves quickly, but when this depression lasts for weeks and months after delivery, this is called postpartum depression. This type of depression is “a more severe, long-lasting form of depression” and “isn't a character flaw or a weakness. Sometimes it's simply a complication of giving birth” (Mayo Clinic, 2016). Many postpartum depression studies have already taken place, and multiple contributing factors arise including stress, financial problems, marital status, and culture. The purpose of this study is to determine if cultural background affects a mother’s susceptibility to developing postpartum depression so that health care professionals can catch it early or use earlier interventions.

Clearly stated problem and purpose of the study

Independent and dependent variables

Definition of terms

Assumptions, hypothesis, or questions (depending on research type)

Theoretical Framework

Description of the theoretical framework to be utilized

Identification of the concepts to be explored

Rationale for choosing framework

Review of the Literature

At least four scholarly sources included

Appropriateness of the review and the proposal focus

Inclusion of primary or secondary sources

Methodology

Since this is such a broad topic and population, I would narrow the study down to a certain county and hospitals to gather my information in order to specify it to that certain county/community. I believe that this would also make the results more accurate and would allow other researchers to replicate the study in different areas and allow them to have different results.

Description of study type (quantitative or qualitative)

Description of study design

Rationale for the use of the selected design

Inclusion of sample size, type, sampling method, inclusion/exclusion criteria, setting, data collection method (instrument), and data collection process

Method for Protection of Human Subjects (consent)

Questionnaire and consent forms must be included as appendices

Data Analysis

Data analysis method is appropriate for study design.

Method of data analysis is clearly stated.

Method for displaying findings is stated.

Applicability to Nursing

Since postpartum depression accounts for “more than 600,000 women every year” (Postpartum Progress, 2016), this makes this study critical in the healthcare field. Postpartum depression is the most common complication of childbirth, putting American families at risk each year. This research would contribute to nurses and their knowledge because they would be able to identify a woman’s culture very quickly and use this study as a basis so that they can take precautions to determine the signs and symptoms of postpartum depression early on. This study informs a current state of knowledge regarding risk factors for postpartum depression and has implications for clinical practice.

Proposal is complete so that another researcher could replicate the study.

Statement about areas of nursing that would benefit from this study.
