Using the “Library Resources” tab to the left of this screen, select database-searching program such as CINAHL Complete (EBSCO), type the words quantitative research OR qualitative research and a topic that interests you involving the elderly patient (quantitative may be a disease such as diabetes, a procedure such as positioning, or a patient teaching such as colostomy irrigation, with qualitative, you may have something like the hypotheses: “Senior patients who have family visit them on a regular basis are less prone to depression than those who do not have regular visitors.” or “Patients who need long-term care and can’t continue with their previous commitments feel stress because of lack of control in their lives.” (these can be used but you are welcome to choose your own research topic to review):
