| Point | Description | Description |
| Broad Topic Area/Title | The study seeks to determine whether the scheduled teaching program before surgical treatment on using incentive spirometry effectively reduces the associated complications among patients undergoing abdominal surgery. | This study aims to evaluate the general practitioners’ viewpoints on starting and increasing injectable medications, identifying any related challenges, examining the reasons for specialist referral, and improving injectable therapy for type 2 diabetes. |
| Define Hypotheses | H1: The experimental group’s knowledge score will alter significantly between the pre-and post-tests following the deliberate instruction.
H2: There will be a large difference between the experimental group’s pre-test and post-test practice scores after anticipated instruction.
H3:Between the experimental and control groups’ post-test knowledge scores, there will be a sizable variation. H4: The post-test practice score of the experimental and control groups will differ significantly. H5: The pre-test knowledge score will significantly correlate with a few demographic factors. H6: The pre-test practice score and a few demographic factors will be significantly correlated.

Independent and Dependent Variables and Types of Data for Variables |
The independent variable is the program’s instruction on employing incentive spirometry before surgery.
The study’s two distinct patient groups are the dependent variable. In the study, ordinal data was utilized for the variables. |
The study’s independent variable is the general practitioners’ degree of comfort.
The dependent variable in the study is how general practitioners perceive potential challenges. In this study, nominal data were utilized for the variables. |
| The population of Interest in the Study | The study’s populations of interest are patients scheduled for abdominal surgery and admitted to either the postoperative or surgical ward at Kollam hospital. There was no requirement that all patients have any prior spirometry training. However, the selection criteria required the patients to have spent at least five days at the selected hospital. | The study’s selection criteria included doctors’ opinions with type 2 diabetes expertise. Additionally, it involved doctors and nurses being researched for ancillary goals that piqued the study’s attention. |
| Sample | This investigation used a purposive sample. There were 60 patients total in the sample size. The treatment group and control group were subsequently formed from the sample. Each group had 30 patients.
|
The study’s sample was one hundred twenty-eight general practitioners familiar with type 2 diabetes. The average age and experience of the general practitioners were 45 years (8.4) and 17.26 (7.2) years, respectively. The secondary goals studies involved thirty nurses and fifty-seven specialists. |
| Sampling Method | The investigators used an observation checklist and knowledge questionnaire to assess how effective the planned teaching reduces the associated complications among patients undergoing abdominal surgery. However, it was conducted among the experimental group only. After five days, the control and experimental groups were given a post-test.
|
A medical physicians’ panel (SERMO) was used to contact the study’s participants. Similarly, doctors were selected based on their years of experience, involvement in caring for type 2 diabetes, and how long they had been in primary care. The amount of time spent with patients during consultations, the number of type 2 diabetic patients seen and cared for in a month, and the number of cases of type 2 diabetes treated with insulin in a month were also included.
|
| How Was Data Collected? | The researchers employed the quantitative research approach. It involved the quasi-experimental pre and post-test control groups investigating the effectiveness of reducing the associated complications among patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
|
Data for the study was acquired via random sampling. The qualified doctors participated in a 25-minute online interview. They responded to inquiries about their comfort level with treating type 2 diabetic patients, starting injectable therapy, and the characteristics that would raise their comfort level and frequency. They also talked about the reasons for referring patients to experts, the specialty where the patient is referred, the characteristics of the injectable therapy concept, and the rationale for starting to use more injectable therapies. |
