errors are pervasive enough that they impede communication of
meaning. Inappropriate word choice or sentence construction is
employed.Frequent and repetitive mechanical errors distract the
reader. Inconsistencies in language choice (register) or word
choice are present. Sentence structure is correct but not
varied.Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but they are
not overly distracting to the reader. Correct and varied sentence
structure and audience-appropriate language are employed.Prose
is largely free of mechanical errors, although a few may be
present. The writer uses a variety of effective sentence
structures and figures of speech.The writer is clearly in
command of standard, written, academic English.Total

4. Broad Topic Area/Title
The differences in preference and satisfaction based upon
hospital care location for COPD exacerbations.
Define Hypotheses

treatment locations.

“hospital treatment”
Satisfaction - Ordinal Scale (1-5)
Preference - categorical “home treatment” and “hospital
treatment”
Population of Interest for the Study
COPD exacerbation patients from five hospitals and three home
care organizations
Sample
139 patients
69 from the usual hospital care group
70 from the early assisted discharge care group
Sampling Method
Mixed methods; quantitative was randomized sampling
How Were Data Collected?
