This document discusses 13 sources of research problems: 1) personal experience, 2) practical experience, 3) critical appraisal of literature, 4) previous research, 5) existing theories, 6) consumer feedback, 7) performance improvement activities, 8) social issues, 9) brainstorming, 10) intuition, 11) folklores, 12) exposure to field situations, and 13) consultations with experts. It provides examples for several of the sources to illustrate how experiences, literature reviews, theories, feedback, and more can inspire questions for further investigation and help identify significant problems to study.
Formulating Hypothesis
Hypothesis Formulation is –
-the process of creating possible, tentative explanations for a given set of information.
-the whole Process of creating and formulating the hypothesis
How is Hypothesis Formulated
Reichenbach (1938) made a distinction between the two processes found commonly in any hypothesis formulation -
-Context of Discovery:
--Hypotheses is ‘discovered’ from earlier research findings, existing theories and personal observations, and experience.
-Context of justification:
--When a Researcher reconstructs his thoughts and communicates them in the form of a hypothesis to others, he uses the context of justification –
Steps in Formulation of Hypothesis
-Understand the area of problem
-Consider goal
-Identify variables
-identify the relationship between the variables.
-Think critically about hypothesis
-Express the idea as own hypothesis
Process of Hypothesis Formulation
-Understand the area of problem
Understand the problem that is being worked on.
-Consider goal
After selecting the problem & understanding the problem, objectives have to be selected according to the problem
-Identify variables
Must be define the variables.
Variables in hypothesis are testable not ?
Specify dependent and independent & others variables.
-Identify the relationship between the variables.
Variables are influence each other or not?
-Think critically about hypothesis
Hypothesis are testable, verifiable or not ? Which will make able to confirm the hypothesis.
-Express the idea as own hypothesis
Here researcher made the hypothesis in a Tentative Solution Statement manner

The process of formulating a research problem consists of a number of steps. Working through these steps presupposes a reasonable level of knowledge in the broad subject area within which the study is to be undertaken and the research methodology itself.
Research problem is a question that a researcher wants to answer or a problem that a researcher wants to solve. Identification and formulation of a research problem is the first step of the research process.
However, it is considered as one of the most challenging and difficult phases of any research project. It is believed that selection of a good research problem is a discovery in itself.
Selection of a research problem depends on several factors, such as researcher's knowledge, skills, interest, expertise, motivation, and creativity with respect to the subject of inquiry.
In addition, a researcher needs to ensure that a selected problem has high significance and implication for his or her profession as well as it should be a suitable, feasible, testable, and solvable research problem.
It is believed that most of the good research studies need lots of time for selection of a research problem. Initially, every researcher faces the predicament of identifying, selecting, and formulating a good research problem. This chapter will answer these pertinent questions.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. Definition of research problem
• “A problem is an interrogative sentence or statement that asks what relation
exist between two or more variables. The answer to questions will provide
what is having sought in the research.”
-Kerlinger.
• “A situation for which we have no ready and successful response by instinct
or by previous acquired habit. We must find out what to do ‘
i.e the solution can be found out only after an investigation”
-R.S.Woodworth.
3. Identification of research problem
Identification of a research problem is the first and most
important step in research process generally a broad area is
selected and then a board topic is delimited or narrowed
down to specific one sentence statement of the problem.
5. 1.Person experience
• Day-to-day personal experience of a researcher may serve as good source of
ideas to formulate a research problem.
• For example, a researcher observed domestic violence suffered by wives of
alcoholic husbands. This experience may provide ideas to identify several
research problems related to domestic violence against women. There may be
so many such life experiences of a researcher which could be used to develop
a research problem.
6. •2. Practical experience:
• Nurses get plenty of ideas to formulate research problems from their
clinical experiences. Every curious nurse has several questions to be answered
that are encountered during clinical experience.
• For example, a nurse finds that unrestricted visiting hours in surgical wards
reduced the analgesic demand among postoperative patients. In another
instance, a nurse observed that application of ice at the site of heparin
injection reduced the chances of ecchymosis. Such clinical experiences could
be rich sources of ideas to identify a significant research problem.
7. • 3.Critical appraisal of literature:
• When we critically study books and articles relating to the
subject of our interest, including research reports, opinion
articles, and summaries of clinical issues, pertinent questions
may arise in our mind. These may strike reader's mind indirectly
by stimulating imagination and directly by stating what
additional research is needed.
• For example, a nurse reads an article on the prevalence of the pin
site infection among patients with external fixators
8. • 4.Previous research:
• A body of knowledge should be developed on a sound foundation of re-
search findings. Usually, at the end of a research, further research problems
are suggested, based on the shortcomings of previous research, which can
be investigated. In nursing profession, not much research has been yet done;
therefore, this profession needs researchers who are willing to replicate or
repeat other studies on different samples and settings where all the essential
elements of the original study are held intact. Further refinements may be
made in the experimental treatments, or more appropriate outcome measures
may be identified.
•
• 5.Existing theories:
• Research is a process of theory development and theory testing. Nurses
use many theories from other disciplines in their practices. If an existing
theory is used in developing a researchable problem, a specific statement
from the theory must be isolated. Generally, a part or parts of the theory are
subjected to testing in the clinical situation. The testing of an existing theory
is definitely needed in nursing; therefore, they serve as good sources of
research problems.
•
9. • 6.Consumer feedback:
• Research problems may be generated from the results of activities aimed to
solicit patient feedback.
• For example, at the time of discharge of patient after angiography, a nurse
obtained a feedback from the patient. Patient verbalized that it was a wonderful
experience except discomfort during removal of pressure dressing at the oral
puncture site. This feedback provided a concept for nurse to research on efficacy
available alternative means of dressing at puncture site to minimize the discomfort
g patient undergoing angiography.
• 7.Performance improvement activities:
• The performance improvement activities, also known as quality
improvement activities, are used to improve processes and outcomes to
meet regulatory requirement. In the process of performance activities,
several issues merge that require answers through research. Thus
performance improvement activities also serve as an important source of
research problem.
•
10. •8.Social issues:
•Sometimes, topics are suggested by more global
contemporary social or political issues of relevance
to the health care community.
•For example, HIV/AIDS, female feticide, sexual
harassment, domestic violence, and gender equality
in health care and in research are some of the current
social and political issues of concern for health care
professionals. An idea for a study may stem from a
familiarity with social concerns or controversial
social issues.
11. •9.Brainstorming:
• Brainstorming sessions are good techniques to find
new questions, where an intensified discussion among
interested people of the profession is conducted to find
more ideas to formulate a good research problem.
• For example, ideas for studies may emerge from
reviewing research priorities by having brainstorming
session with other nurses, researchers, or nursing faculty
12. •10.Intuition:
• Traditionally, intuitions are considered good sources of
knowledge as well as sources to find new research
problems. It is believed that the reflective mind is a good
source of ideas, which may be used to formulate a good
research problem
13. • 11.Folklores:
Common beliefs could be right or wrong.
For example, it is generally believed that studying just before the test
decreases the score. We believe we should not study just before test
to relax our mind. Researchers can conduct a research study on
whether one should study before the test or not.
14. • 12.Exposure to field situations:
During field exposure, researchers get variety of
experiences, which may provide plenty of ideas to formulate
research problems.
For example, while working in field, a researcher observed a
specific traditional practice for cure of a disease condition,
which can be used as research problem to investigate its
efficacy
15. • 13. Consultations with experts: Experts are believed to have
sound experience of their respective field, which may suggest a
significant problem to be studied. In addition, experts may help in
finding a current problem of discipline to be solved, which may
serve as basis for formulation of research problem.
16. • SUMMARY:-
