Problem Statement A problem statement is the description of an issue currently existing which needs to be addressed. It provides the context for the research study and generates the questions which the research aims to answer. The statement of the problem is the focal point of any research. A good problem statement is just one sentence (with several paragraphs of elaboration).

Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study is to … Explain the goals and research objectives of the study as it related to the problem statement within your study. Research Questions The study will attempt to answer the following research question(s): There may only be one. But you could have two. No more than two unless it is important to have more. Narrow the purpose statement to research questions.

Specific questions worded as: How or What? What do you want answer? How do you want to answer it? Significance of the Study The overall significance of this study is to… Use your write up about the challenges for this section This is the last place you have to wrap up your chapter 1 and stipulate the target audiences that would benefit from your study and its importance to them. Writing about Poetry and Examining Two Sample Essays on Poetry-2 Read “Poetry: Reading, Responding, Writing†in the Norton Introduction to Literature , including the sample essays that appear toward the end of the chapter.

The 1st sample essay is a response paper. The second sample is an analysis paper. Please consider both essays appropriate models for your own 2nd essay. Please note the following aspects of second sample paper "Multiplying by Dividing in Aphra Behn's 'On Her Loving Two Equally'": Features to Note The Writer's "Move" P1 The first paragraph introduces the topic by · Signaling to readers the direction of the writer’s discussion, · Providing a brief summary of the situation described in the poem, and · Ending with the main argument of the essay (the thesis statement). Thesis The thesis statement provides the focus of the entire essay: according to the writer’s interpretation of “On Her Loving Two Equally,†the poem has a counterintuitive message: a divided love is stronger that a single unified love. Each body paragraph Each paragraph begins with a topic sentence that has two functions: · Supporting the thesis by making some related claim about the interpretation stated in the thesis and · Signaling to readers the main idea/focus of the paragraph. Content of each body paragraph The body paragraphs contain various combinations of evidence: · Quotation, · Summary, · Paraphrase, and · Analysis/discussion. Types of evidence The writer carefully chooses to focus on different types of evidence in each poem, depending upon the specific claim of that paragraph. Each paragraph focuses on one or more of the following elements: theme, tone, speaker, situation, setting, language, sound, structure, and/or form. For example, in P1, the writer examines the opposing viewpoint that division of any kind typically has the effect of weakening something (the writer later counterargues that the poem demonstrates how the speaker’s love is paradoxically strengthened by division, not weakened by it). To exemplify this opposing, more conventional view of division, she examines the poet’s use of the term “flow.†Shift in argument P3 represents a shift in the writer’s argument. She shifts from a discussion of the opposing view to the speaker’s stance on divided love as the stronger form of love. Use of example paragraphs Note that some paragraphs are “example paragraphs,†in which the entire paragraph focuses on a particular line or stanza to support some claim. For example, P4 continues the thoughts of P3 though in this case, the P3 solely focuses on the second stanza. The writer analyzes this stanza to further support her argument that the poem shows how divided love is stronger than the love of a single person. Overall sequencing of paragraphs Each paragraph is sequenced very carefully. Note how each paragraph prepares readers for the next supporting argument/paragraph: P1: Thesis (main argument) - : a divided love is stronger that a single unified love. P2: Opposing view: Common sense tells us that division of any kind implies a weakening like the division of a river that loses its force with division. P3: The poem rejects this common sense, asserting that a divided love is stronger. P4: Stanza 2 supports the idea that a divided love is stronger. P5: This divided and intensely strong love for two people is the speaker’s dilemma, and she appeals to Cupid for help. P6: The writer argues that the poet’s use of language throughout the poem contributes to the torn feelings of the speaker. P7: The writer distinguishes love from a river that loses its force with division. P8: The structure of the poem contributes to its meaning, mirroring the division idea. P9: Conclusion – reiteration of the poem’s main point. The conclusion also answers the “So what?†question: this poem is essentially a commentary about convention and conformity, and the speaker’s female identity is thus meant to make readers uncomfortable to some degree. Improving Sentence Clarity The Writing Center Strategy 1: Use Active Voice. Sentences in active voice are usually easier to understand than those in passive voice because active-voice constructions clearly indicate who performs the action expressed by the verb. In addition, changing from passive to active voice often results in a more concise sentence. Passive (more wordy): My car is borrowed every Saturday by Gina. Active (clear and direct): Gina borrows my car every Saturday. Strategy 2: Use Parallel Constructions. When you have a series of words, phrases, or clauses, put them in parallel form (similar grammatical construction) so the reader can easily identify the linking relationship between the items in the series. Not Parallel (awkward): In areas threatened by hurricanes, it is important to become aware of the warning signs, there are precautions to take, and deciding when to take shelter is important. Parallel (clear): In areas threatened by hurricanes, it is important to become aware of the warning signs, to know what precautions to take, and to decide when to seek shelter. In the first sentence, notice how the series of advice regarding hurricanes does not create a parallel structure. Also, notice how much more difficult it is for a reader to follow the meaning of the first sentence compared to the second one. Strategy 3: Choose Action Verbs Over Forms of Be. When possible, avoid using forms of be as the main verbs in your sentences and clauses. Instead of using be verbs, choose descriptive verbs that convey the specific actions you wish to express. For the same reasons, avoid overuse of other nonspecific verbs like, do, make, and have. Overuse of be verbs (wordy): One difference between television news reporting and the coverage provided by newspapers is the time factor between the actual happening of an event and the time it takes to be reported. The problem is that instantaneous coverage is physically impossible for newspapers. Use of action verbs (concise): Television news reporting differs from that of newspapers in that television, unlike newspapers, provides instantaneous coverage of events as they happen. Strategy 4: Avoid Unclear Pronoun References. Be sure the pronouns you use clearly refer to a noun in the current or previous sentence. If the pronoun refers to a noun that has been implied but not stated, you can clarify the reference by explicitly using that noun. Unclear pronoun reference: American universities are tightening budgets by hiring temporary contract employees as teachers instead of hiring new, full-time faculty. This has prompted them to join unions as a way of protecting job security and benefits. Clear pronoun reference: American universities are tightening budgets by hiring temporary contract employees as teachers instead of hiring new, full-time faculty. This trend has prompted many full-time faculty members to join unions as a way of protecting job security and benefits. Strategy 5: Avoid Shifts in Person. An unintentional shift in person is a common flaw in student writing and should be avoided. To avoid shifts in person, decide whom you will be referencing in your paper, whether it is first person (I, we), second person (you), or third person (he/she, they, a student, the government, etc.) and stay consistent. Awkward (shift of person): Students who come to college as freshmen must make many new choices, and sometimes you get confused. Clearer (consistent use of person): Students who come to college as freshmen must make many new choices, and sometimes they get confused. Strategy 6: Be Careful about Placement of Interrupting Material. Avoid interrupting the main clause with additional information if the interruption will cause confusion. Awkward (additional information embedded in the middle): Industrial spying, because of the growing use of computers to store and process corporate information, is increasing rapidly. Clearer (additional information at the end): Industrial spying is increasing rapidly because of the growing use of computers to store and process corporate information. Clearer (additional information at the beginning): Because of the growing use of computers to store and process corporate information, industrial spying is increasing rapidly. Strategy 7: Avoid Noun Strings. Nouns that are strung one after the other often make sentences difficult to understand. One way to revise a string of nouns is to change one noun to a verb. Awkward (string of nouns): This report explains our investment growth stimulation projects. Clearer: This report explains our projects to stimulate growth in investments. Strategy 8: Avoid Multiple Negatives. Use affirmative forms rather than several negatives because multiple negatives are difficult to understand. Unclear (multiple negatives, passive): Less attention is paid to commercials that lack human-interest stories than to other kinds of commercials. Clearer: People pay more attention to commercials with human-interest stories than to other kinds of commercials. Strategy 9: Avoid Overusing Noun Forms of Verbs. Use verbs when possible rather than the noun forms of those verbs. Unclear: The implementation of the plan was successful. Clearer: The plan was implemented successfully. or We implemented the plan successfully.

Paper For Above instruction

The development and clarification of a research question are critical steps in conducting effective scholarly research. A well-defined research question guides the scope, methodology, and ultimately the success of a study. Addressing this involves understanding the significance of a clear problem statement, the purpose of the study, precise research questions, and the importance of the study's impact. This paper explores each of these components, emphasizing their interconnectedness and best practices in formulating research questions, with particular focus on health information security in the context of COVID-19 and electronic health records.

Problem Statement

A problem statement functions as the foundation of research; it delineates an existing issue that warrants investigation. For example, in health information security, one problem is the vulnerability of electronic health records (EHRs) to cyber threats intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare facilities increasingly digitize records to improve patient care, yet this digital transition exposes sensitive data to cyberattacks. The rapidly evolving nature of cyber threats, compounded by the surge in remote access due to pandemic-related restrictions, underscores the urgent need for effective information security methods to safeguard COVID-19 related health data. Therefore, the problem is: how can healthcare facilities protect COVID-19 electronic health records from cyber threats through effective security techniques?

Purpose of the Study

The purpose of this research is to identify and evaluate the most effective information security techniques that healthcare facilities can adopt to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of COVID-19 related electronic health records. Specifically, the study aims to examine current security measures, assess their effectiveness, and provide evidence-based recommendations to healthcare administrators and policymakers. This aligns with the broader goal of enhancing data security in medical settings amidst increasing cyber threats exacerbated by the pandemic.

Research Questions

The primary research question guiding this study is: Which information security techniques are most effective for healthcare facilities to adopt to ensure the security of COVID-19 electronic health records? To narrow the scope further, secondary questions include: What are the current security practices employed by healthcare facilities for COVID-19 records, and how effective are they in preventing cyber threats? These questions aim to produce actionable insights and testable hypotheses that contribute to cybersecurity knowledge in healthcare.

Significance of the Study

The significance of this study lies in its potential to improve cybersecurity protocols within healthcare environments, especially during global health crises like COVID-19. Protecting electronic health records not only preserves patient privacy but also ensures the integrity of health data critical for effective medical response and research. Healthcare administrators, policymakers, cybersecurity professionals, and patients are key stakeholders who will benefit from insights regarding effective security measures. Implementation of robust security techniques can substantially reduce the risk of data breaches, thereby safeguarding sensitive health information and maintaining public trust in health systems. Consequently, this research can influence policy development, resource allocation, and best practice guidelines in health data security.
