RESEARCH ENQUIRY1
Introduction
It is seen that there is high prevalence of anemia among the women in Australia who
belong to the reproductive age (Fitzpatrick et al., 2015). The percentage of the women who
are in the age of reproduction that is 15 to 49 years and are suffering from anemia was very
high in the past. However the percentage decreased significantly in the past decades due to
the use of a number of steps that is the collective effort of the Australian Government as well
as the citizens of the country (Leonard et al., 2018). As per World Health Organization or
WHO, the prevalence of anemia among the women belonging to the reproductive age is
referred to as the sum of both the pregnant and the non-pregnant women is below 11 g/dL.
However, this is not the concern of the research as the research proposal highlights the social
impact on the women who are suffering from anemia at the time of pregnancy (Kline et al.,
2013). The social impact that is prevalent on the healthcare issues is a big concern on the
healthcare research as that acts as a big obstacle for the complete and unbiased research that
is supposed to take place in the healthcare research (Smithers et al., 2014).
The social impact that is seen among the women who are suffering from anemia is the
prevalence of certain comorbid factors like household work, poverty, food insecurity, lower
education among the women who are suffering from anemia regarding the health issues and
the inability to purchase the supplements for the deficiency of iron (McAullay et al., 2018). A
lot of research has been conducted that emphasizes the link of anemia and the psychological
status of the women due to the social impact and pressure on the women about reproduction.
Thus, the statement of purpose of the study is to highlight the social impact that anemia has in
the society. The research is aimed at focusing on the various ways to aid the anemic women
socially along with reducing the psychological pressure on women who are pregnant as well
as anemic (Smithers et al., 2014).

Research Aim and Objectives
The aim of the study is to know the importance of the various ways that can reduce
the pressure on the pregnant women who are anemic by reducing the social impact and the
psychological pressure on these women. The research design will emphasize on the
following.
1. To know the role of the society in reducing the psychological pressure on the
pregnant women suffering from anemia.
2. To analyse various means that can help to reduce the social impact on the anemic
women who are either pregnant or have already delivered and are now suffering
from anemia.
3. To suggest a number of methods that can act as a probable means to reduce the
social impact on the lives of the pregnant women.
Research Questions
The research questions are as follows:
1. What is the role of the society in building up the psychological pressure amongst
the women who are suffering from anemia or have been anemic after the delivery
of their child?
2. What are the various ways in order to reduce the social impact on the anemic
women who are either pregnant or have already delivered and are now suffering
from anemia?
3. What are the methods that can act as a probable means to reduce the social impact
on the lives of the pregnant women?

Research Hypotheses
H0: The involvement of the various social factors that do not increase the psychological
burden on the women who are pregnant and are suffering from anemia.
H1: The involvement of the various social factors that increase the psychological burden on
the women who are pregnant and are suffering from anemia.
Research Plan
Methodology
The study methodology is correlation of data which involves the use of the
quantitative data that will comprise the use of the interviews and surveys that will help in
determining the percentage and the rate of involvement of the Aboriginal women who are
actually suffering from societal stress and pressure after pregnancy due to prevalence of
anemia (Smith, 2015). The research design is usually of three types like descriptive or
analytical, explanatory and the exploratory out of which the systematic investigative design
of the research helps in understanding along with evaluating the study in a more descriptive
way. The investigative design is conducted to know the meanings of the concept at the very
initial stage and he explanatory design is used for the development of a relationship of a
between the two research variables that are being considered at the research design (Flick,
2015; Simonsohn, Nelson & Simmons, 2017). Thus, it is beneficial to use the analytical
research design for this research design in order to gain a detail idea and knowledge of the
pre-existing theories and concepts regarding the prevalence of the anemia among the
Aboriginal women in Australia (Ledford & Gast, 2018).
Sampling
The method of sampling that will be used for the research will involve both the non-
probability and the probability technique along with simple random sampling method
