Research Proposal For Alzheimer’s Disease2RESEARCH DESING IN HEALTHRESEARCH PROPOSAL FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AbstractAlzheimer Disease is considered as one of the world’s dangerous disease because itscauses and cure are not yet found. The disease is perceived to be very common with the oldadults .Alzheimer Disease and dementia is associated with a number of challenges upon theinfection. Once the person has been infected, he starts to loose his memory, his thinking abilityand the behavior also changes. For this reason, the research design and proposal is aiming atfinding some issues related to the disease which include the following: the scientific principlebehind the research, the possible causes and cure of the disease and finally the general behaviorof the affected persons in terms of the brain functionality. The study uses the qualitativetechniques approach as a method of data collection. The total number of respondents for theresearch is 20 which will provide the quality results and findings for the project. The respondentscomprises of the following people: Caregivers, professional doctors and the Nurses within thespecified hospitals.The design also identifies the Ethical and social consideration a key for the study; therespondents have consent of the interview for example no participant is allowed to write hisname on the questionnaire and any one of them willing to pull out before the study begins is freeto do so. Since it one of the most delicate research, the storage and collection of data is alsogoverned by the policies and regulations that protect the general guidelines to the investigation.The document should be used as a general guide to the further research on the disease. Thedifferent objectives and aims of the study is also discussed in the proposal which include the
Research Proposal For Alzheimer’s Disease3scientific research on the disease, the general behavior and finally the preventive and cure for theAlzheimer Disease and the related infections. CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION1.0 IntroductionAlzheimer is a disease which destroys the memory and other mental functions of thebrain (Dubois et al 2014).The condition often develops and get worse with the time. Thisdevelopment becomes so severe to interfere with the daily routine of the victim. Most peoplebelieve that Alzheimer is associated with the old people, yet this is not so, but it is a disease thatmostly affects the aging people of age ranging from 60years and above (Francis et al 2009). Theold age is therefore considered as one of the factors which influence the Alzheimer disease.During the early stage, the memory loss becomes so mild than when it has now taken a periodduring the development stage (Francis et al 2009). A part of the memory is lost during the periodof infection, the patient also loses the ability to carry on with any conversation and also torespond to any environment.Alzheimer is regarded as one of the leading causes of death in both the United States andthe United Kingdom. The people living with the Alzheimer are said to be living for around nineyears after the symptoms become visible and noticeable for the others (Stephen et al. 2018).However, the survival of an Alzheimer’s is between the average of five to twenty years duringthe infection which depends on the age factor and provided health conditions within the givenperiod (Dubois et al 2010) The researchers can still not explain why the disease only affects theselected few but not others. Alzheimer is one of the diseases that make people to even forgetabout their loved ones. The recent reports show that the disease affects about 700000 of the new

In addition to its effects, Alzheimer diseaseis also responsible for the increasing number of dependency of the aged person within the worldstatistics more so in Europe (Alzheimer's Association 2016). The numerous effects of Alzheimer disease to the affected persons has opened up newinternational research to come up with prevention measures and ways of making it slow on theaffected persons. The public attention on the causes and effects of the Alzheimer disease isenough evidence that further research will be able to solve these challenges and other diseasesrelated to it. One of the motivating factors to this research is the rate of dependency among theold people more so in the affected continents; the disease is perceived to be more vulnerableamong the aging people (Steinberg et al 2015). The disease is one of the mists dangerous aroundthe world; it must be dealt with by supporting and encouraging many scholars with the vastknowledge and experience on the same disease. Different governments and organizations arecoming up together to find a solution to the problem through some research on the same disease(Brownson et al 2017). If the disease is prevented, the country's economic value and experiencewill change since most of the funds used in the care units shall be used in other sectors within thegiven period.1.1 Aims of the proposaloTo understand the scientific study of the Alzheimer DiseaseoTo find out the possible prevention and cure measures for the Alzheimer Disease oTo study the behavior, cognition, and functionality if the brain of the affectedpeople For the research proposal to be practical, some objectives are drawn below.
