Data collection strategy in respect to primary and secondary sources
Data collection strategy refers to the tactics that are followed to gather data from multiple sources. There are two sources from which usually data is gathered namely primary and secondary data. In respect to primary source three strategies are commonly followed like survey, special interview and focus group. In special interview detail discussion is carried out in respect to research topic with specific person (Chan, Fung and Chien, 2013). Whereas, in focus group there are multiple people that carried out research on specific topic. In present research study data will be collected through primary sources and in this regard questionnaire will be distributed among respondents. Sample of 30 people will be taken and from them opinion on varied questions will be collected. Apart from this, secondary data will be collected from books, journals and magazines (Karkala and Yalavarthy, 2012). In order to conduct secondary research varied websites and journals will be reviewed. This is the entire plan that will be followed for conducting research.
Secondary data analysis
According toGordon and et.al., (2013) residential care homes are becoming more popular in the UK as in relevant establishments good care taking of patients is done and proper treatment is given to them which ensure that they will remain healthy. This is the reason due to which popularity of the residential care home grown at rapid pace in the mentioned nation. Presence of regulatory body also ensure that people will be treated in residential care home in proper manner and they will not face any sort of problem at workplace.
Contrary to this Sahota, Morgan and Moran, (2012) state that fee in care homes is very high and due to this reason everyone can not afford service in care home. Many times instead of high fee given service delievered is not upto expected quality. Hence, it can be said that many times selection of care home proved to be wrong decisions. In many care homes family like environment is not given and due to this reson people feel absence of cordial relationship in their life. Hence, all these things negatively affect individuals mental condition. Small living space is the one of the factor that have impact on patient at social care seeting. Individuals wants to live independent life and want more space in respect to social relationship. Such kind of things are many times not observed in social care setting and such kind of things
Complex range of techniques to analyze data
- Observation: Under this method researcher do detailed observation of varied things and on that basis find out lots of facts related to research topic. By doing so arrive at specific conclusion. It can be said that observation is the methodwhich is employed for analysis by the researchers.
- Focus group: In this technique specific topic is discussed between panel of experts and varied facts are identified. On basis of discussion finally concensus is obtaind on specific point (How to Conduct a Successful Focus Group Discussion, 2017). This approach is usually used when any buring topic is discussed between experts.
- Contact interview: It is different then focus group method because in this interview of single person is taken and detail discussion like focus group is carried out. Means that instead to disussing topic with multiple people only one expert is invited for discussion purpose.
- Thematic analysis: In this approach frequency table is generated and it is identified that how much response is given by respondents on each category. Thus, specific direction in which respondents give response can easily be identified by using thematic analysis.
- Regression: It is advance technique by using which relationship between dependent and independent variable is identified (Hosmer, Lemeshow and May, 2011). There are multiple statistic in regression which assist in meauring relationship between both sort of variables.
