See lessWhat is PICOT? How can it help me refine my research question
PICOT is a structured framework used to formulate clinical research questions, particularly in evidence-based practice and clinical trials. It stands for: P (Population/Patient): Who is the patient or population of interest? (e.g., age, disease, condition) I (Intervention): What is the treatment, exRead more
PICOT is a structured framework used to formulate clinical research questions, particularly in evidence-based practice and clinical trials. It stands for:
Example PICOT question:
“In elderly patients with hypertension (P), does a low-sodium diet (I) compared to standard diet (C) reduce blood pressure (O) over six months (T)?”
This framework helps ensure that research questions are specific, focused, and answerable using clinical studies.
See lessHow do I select my study population?
You can select the study population by defining the characteristics of individuals relevant to your research question, considering inclusion and exclusion criteria.

See lessWhat is the difference between random sampling and purposive sampling?
Random sampling: Every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected, ensuring representativeness. Purposive sampling: Selecting participants based on specific characteristics relevant to your research question.

This is one of the most important step in your research. Calculating the correct sample size is an ingredient for a good research and hence it must be done scientifically. You should use statistical methods to determine the necessary sample size to achieve statistically significant results, considering factors like power analysis and effect size. You can request R & D Cell to help you with. They will connect you with the KAHER faculty/experts.
