Article Analysis: Healthcare Research on Patient Satisfaction

This assignment presents an analysis of two healthcare articles, examining research methodologies, variables, and outcomes related to patient care. The first article explores quantitative research on depression, anxiety, and health, focusing on the comparison of biomedical and bio-psychological treatments, particularly regarding patient satisfaction and treatment location. The second article addresses chronic pain management, analyzing treatment approaches, data variables, and the population of interest. Both analyses include descriptions of the study sample, sampling methods, and data collection techniques, providing a comprehensive overview of the research designs and findings. The assignment adheres to the provided template, which incorporates the key components of the articles, facilitating a structured evaluation of the research presented. The assignment also provides the citation of the articles in APA format.

Treatment of anxiety disorder:
Consists of therapy, treatment

Chronic pain management is the
condition that renders pain to the
patients over a period of time. The
treatment for chronic pain condition
requires both biomedical attention and
bio-psychological interventions
techniques (P, 94).
The location of the health care
facilities include hospital and
community health care Centre

The dependent and independent
variables include: Metabolic
syndrome (MetS) and Diabetes
mellitus, (T2DM1) respectively. The
data variables were to use in the
comparison and analysis of the
disorders by the psychiatrist (P 164).
The dependent variable on this case
includes the symptoms, sign of the
patients with severe pain.
Independent variable in the research
includes specified therapy techniques
applied on the condition.
Population of
Interest for the
Study
Evaluation was carried out on four
outpatient clinics of Diabetes and five
private operating home cares for
patients with anxiety and depression
disorder.

health care centers and four
community health care homes for
patients with various disorders.

Sample Total of 200 patients suffering
anxiety and depression disorders
were sampled.
100 of the total sample from the
hospital who have been discharged
recently, 70 from the home care
centers and 30 from the unknown
health centers that were affected by
mental disorder.
In order to offer better relieve to the
patients 20 patients treated using
citalopram that provides faster mental
recovery.
The participants for the study were 80
with various age limits that were
diagnosed to suffer from chronic pain.
40 of the sampled participants g were
age 65 and above from public health
care centers.
The 30 were from the community
health homes of age 60 and below
while 10 were from unidentified
health care.
Medical records assisted the
researchers in compiling the data of
the patients and track of their
historical information.

Collected?
A questionnaire was used in
collection for data, it consisted the
open ended questions that were used
for analyzing the quantitative
responses from the patients.
Quantitative method was used in
assigning the numerical values for the
questions with the scale ranging (0-4)
