Sampling Theory & its Example

It is the study of how a population is related to samples taken from that population.

Estimating the population's parameters is the focus of this study based on the individuals in the

sample and also on the results of the estimation's accuracy. An estimate or hypothesis is provided

correlations or forecasts may be tested and evaluated. Data analysis relies heavily on statistical

hypotheses as a primary research tool. Essentially, it serves as a guide for future tests and

findings. There are many different ways of doing statistical hypothesis testing, or significance

testing, and this is one of the most used (Kalpanapriya & Sujatha, 2016).

For instance, suppose a researcher wishes to compile a systematic sample of 500

individuals from a population of 5000. He/she assigns a number to each element of the

population between 1 and 5000 and selects every tenth person for the sample (Total

population/Sample Size = 5000/500 = ten).

Each year, hospital emergency departments (EDs) handle more than 20 million older

individuals, making them a disproportionately large venue of healthcare delivery. Historically,

the roughly 5,000 EDs throughout the country have been sluggish to adapt their personnel, ED

training, procedures, or physical environment to better serve the particular requirements of our

diverse older adult population.

Nonetheless, a small number of creative EDs around the country have altered their

services and are now marketing themselves as Geriatric Emergency Departments (GEDs),

providing care tailored exclusively to older persons and their families. This study discovered

n=83 EDs that unambiguously self-identified as GEDs after a thorough, countrywide search of

US hospitals. All eligible GEDs were contacted, with n=54 (65%) answering to our self-

administered survey on their organization, service delivery, and adherence to national criteria for

older people' emergency medical treatment. The findings illustrate a diverse range of care

models, staffing patterns, screening processes, clinical care adjustments, quality improvement

activities, physical environment upgrades, referral patterns, and monitoring of elder patient

outcomes. The analysis of open-ended replies revealed wildly varied interpretations of national

emergency care recommendations for older individuals, including the definition of a GED. The

results are used to provide research suggestions to researchers about the conceptualization and

precise phrasing of future survey questions in order to strengthen the reliability and validity of

GED study (Diblasio, Fowler, Martin, Zhang, & Kennedy, 2019).
