RESEARCH PROPOSAL 3
Type of research methodology
Under this investigation, the quantitative investigation will be selected through a researcher
for attaining the aim and objectives of the investigation. In addition to this, responses of
research participants would be determined by using quantitative research design. It aids in
obtaining statistical data with respect to evaluating the role of nurses in weight loss programs
for adults of Australia. This research design enables an investigator for declining the hurdles
and concerns of investigation. Since, this research design would facilitate the numerical
information related to evaluating the role of nurses in weight loss programs for adults of
Australia so that, it would be significant for this research (Bell, Bryman, & Harley, 2018).
The quantitative tool of data collection will be chosen in the sense that it will emphasize on
views of adults about weight loss programs in Australia. In the context of a quantitative
survey, 50 adults from Australia would be chosen. Since, it will be effective with respect to
discussing regarding evaluating the role of nurses in weight loss programs for adults of
Australia. This interview will be advantageous for addressing the adult reaction with respect
to weight loss programs (Quinlan, Babin, Carr, & Griffin, 2019).
Research hypothesis
The given below hypothesis used in this research:
H0: There is no significant relationship between nurses and weight loss programs for adults
of Australia
H1: There is a significant relationship between nurses and weight loss programs for adults of
Australia
Non-Directional study
A two-tailed non-directional hypothesis would be used as it predicts that the independent
variable i.e. role of nurses would have an impact on dependent variable i.e. weight loss
programs (Hair Jr, et. al., 2015).

RESEARCH PROPOSAL 4
Variables
Independent variable: Role of nurses
Dependent variable: weight loss programs
Main confounding variable: Adults of Australia (Eriksson & Kovalainen, 2015).
Brief literature review
Databases
Under this investigation, different databases would be used such as Science Direct, Emerald
Insight, Springer Link, Business Premier, JStor, and ACM (Meyer & Peng, 2016).
Keywords
Weight loss programs, Role of nurses, obesity, Prevention, Nursing applications, Nutrition,
Management, Health promotion, and Cardiovascular disease
Search terms
Following are key search terms that would be implemented in the research:
Consequences of obesity
Opportunities for health promotion
The role of nurses in weight loss programs
Nurses and health promotion (Sekaran & Bougie, 2016).
Significance of your hypothesis
This hypothesis would be significant for addressing the relationship between the role of
nurses and weight loss programs. This hypothesis would be advantageous for assessing cause
and effect relationships. It would be also beneficial for resolving the research issues in a
significant way (Fuller, et. al., 2016).
Theoretical framework
For assessing the gathered information, statistical data analysis framework will be
implemented in this investigation. By using this, an investigator would be competent for
