Please refer to this week’s learning materials. They are intended to help you engage effectively in this discussion.
Due Saturday
Rather than a standard discussion post, this discussion is a peer-review format.
Complete the Purpose Statement Worksheet to prepare for making revisions.
Based on the work that you completed in RES/709: Research Conceptualization and Design, and on the completion of the Purpose Statement Worksheet, review and revise your purpose statement. Remember this is a fluid process and you should expect some suggestions for fine-tuning your purpose statement.
For the peer review:
- State your program of study.
- Post your revised draft problem statement from Wk 6 Discussion 1 – Problem Statement Peer Review.
- Post your revised draft 1-sentence purpose statement for peer review.
- Include a description of the population by discussing the criteria for selecting the study participants and describe the sample size and the rationale for the sample size. If the study will include archival data, briefly explain the proposed data sources.
Your faculty member and classmates will provide feedback in preparation for the Wk 6 – Prospectus: Problem and Purpose Statements assignment submission.
Note: This is a peer-review process, and the goal is to provide substantive feedback on the process of formulating the purpose statement. The focus of your feedback to your peers should be on how the purpose statement was formulated and not a discussion on the topic.

Purpose Statement Worksheet
The purpose statement describes the goal of the study and includes the following elements: the purpose of the study, the subjects/population who will participate in the study, the geographic location of the study, and the research methodology used in the study.
Sample Purpose Statement
The purpose of this proposed qualitative exploratory study is to explore why caregivers do not practice good self-care and to explore barriers preventing good self-care practices. Ten caregivers from Dallas, Texas, caring for partners with breast cancer will participate in semi-structured interviews. The purpose of the interviews is to understand why caregivers do not practice good self-care and to describe possible barriers preventing good self-care practices. Results of the study could encourage caregivers to implement good self-care practices to avoid becoming physically and psychologically ill.
To complete the Purpose Statement, answer the following questions:
