This document discusses plagiarism and how to avoid it. It defines plagiarism as presenting another's work as one's own without proper citation or credit. There are four main types of plagiarism discussed: copying, patchwriting, paraphrasing, and unintentional. The document provides examples of each type and guidelines for when to quote, paraphrase, or summarize sources. It also includes examples of APA citation style for different source types such as books, journal articles, and online sources. The key message is that plagiarism can be avoided by being honest about sources and giving proper credit when using others' work.
Sample Size Calculation for Quantitive and Qualitative Studies Akmal Samsor
This document discusses sample size calculations for research studies. It covers the formula for calculating sample size for infinite populations, how to modify the sample size by adding a design effect and non-response rate. It also discusses using online calculators and calculating sample size for finite populations and qualitative studies. Participants will learn about sample size calculations and practice calculating sample size for different research studies varying confidence levels, proportions, precision levels, design effects, and non-response rates. The document emphasizes that saturation is key for qualitative sample size but some common rules used are 5 key informant interviews, 30 in-depth interviews, and 1 focus group per group.

This document discusses the design and development of questionnaires for research. It begins by defining a questionnaire as a standardized set of questions used to collect responses from participants. It then outlines the functions of questionnaires in translating research objectives into specific questions, standardizing responses, and facilitating data collection and analysis. The document discusses different types of questionnaires and the systematic process of questionnaire design. It presents the "flowerpot approach" involving general to specific questioning. Key steps are outlined, including developing an introductory section to motivate participation. Basic principles of writing clear, unbiased questions are also provided.
National Behavior Study on Use and Non Use of FP Methods in AfghanistanAkmal Samsor
An exploratory qualitative study, National Family Planning Behavioral Study (FPBS), is conducted to identify factors that influence the use of modern birth spacing methods and to identify ways to mitigate or alter those influencers at the individual, couple/family, service accessibility, socio-cultural and policy environment for improvement of CPR in Afghanistan.
Constructs from the socioecological model, health belief model and theory of planned behavior were used to develop the conceptual framework for the study. The constructs were arranged in four different levels: (1) individual level, (2) couple & family level, (3) service accessibility level, and (4) socio-cultural and policy environment level.
FGDs, IDIs and KIIs were used to collect data from nine distinct target groups residing in the ten purposely-selected provinces: Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Bamyan, Khost, Jawzjan, Kunar, Badghis, Badakhshan, and Samangan.
The presentation has the findings of the final evaluation of the “Strengthening Resilience of Afghan Returnees in Afghanistan” project which was implemented in 3 provinces (Nangarhar, Balkh and Jawzjan) from August 2013 to September 2015. The project was designed to reduce the vulnerability of returnee, IDP and other vulnerable groups through provision of improved WASH facilities, access to economic opportunities, and increased knowledge and capacity to prevent violence against women and children in Jawzjan, Balkh and Nangarhar provinces of Afghanistan.
Objective of this study is to provide an adequate baseline for selected indicators of the BMZ country strategy in the field of governance.The baseline study is conducted in three steps: (i) Literature Review, (ii) Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), (iii) Quantitative Survey.
By the identifying ones self on the maturity continuum and then planning to move up continuum can help individuals to lead effective lives. Lives which are lived proactively and in which most of the resources are spent on the circle of influence rather than wasting resources on circle of concern.
Prevention of Postpartum Haemorrhage (An Integrated Approach)Akmal Samsor
This document outlines an integrated approach for preventing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) at both health facilities and in home births. It discusses how hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal mortality globally. It then describes how active management of the third stage of labor (AMSTL) can prevent PPH for births attended by skilled providers at health facilities. It also discusses evidence that distributing misoprostol in communities can prevent PPH for home births. The document advocates for integrating facility-based AMSTL and community-based misoprostol distribution to provide broader prevention of PPH and reduce maternal mortality.
