2RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Purpose:
The purpose of this research proposal is to analyse an indigenous population set of
Australia and identify the factors that have contributed heavily in the cessation of smoking
habit development in the female proportion of the above stated population set. The research
work would delve deeper into the further assessment of the factors and would focus on a
specific indigenous population set and would further make use of qualitative analysis to
develop a clear understanding of the above stated factors. The research work to be conducted
revolves around the aboriginal community so as to recognise the minor group and propound a
vivid research work for identification of the minority population (Castellano,2014).
Research question:
“What factors impede or facilitate smoking cessation in high risk indigenous women
in the community in Australia localised at New South Wales?”
Designing a qualitative study:
In order to develop a crystal clear understanding on the research topic, a qualitative
analysis would be carried out on a targeted group of nursing professionals of XYZ hospital
based at New South Wales that conspicuously deals with the treatment and care of aboriginal
women. The analysis would be done based on a set of interview which would include about
10 questions and would record the response of the nurses which would further be analysed
using the thematic analysis (Passey et al.,2013).
Study variables to be considered:
The study variables for conducting this research can be categorised under two sub
headings, the first one includes the dependent variable that incorporated the subject of the
research question that is “cessation of smoking in aboriginal women” and the independent
variable invariable lists the interventions designed by the nursing professionals and midwifes
