Qualitative and Quantitative Problem Statements
Studies are published to solve a problem in a unique and clever way. Studies manifest from a problem statement. The problem statement is one of the most important aspects of the dissertation. The problem statement illustrates the paradigm and the methods. This paper will disclose one qualitative problem statement and one quantitative problem statement as they relate to two problems in the field of dentistry.
Qualitative Problem Statement
The importance of teaching the business of dentistry to dentists in dental school. The results show that student opinion coincided with faculty belief on only one question in the set dealing with the advantages of dentistry (Johnson, 1970). Dentists attend school to learn the clinical aspects. Often they are not taught the administrative parts of running their own practice (Bullock, 2010). Do dentists only learn to run their business through continuing education?
There is a disconnect happening in dental schools graduating dentists without all the tools to be successful to purchase and run their own practice (Johnson, 1970). Dentists graduate with thousands of dollars in student loans. The problem has forced some dentists to start their dental careers in corporate dentistry rather than private practice (Bullock, 2010). A possible cause of this problem is the curriculum for dental school needs to incorporate more business and human resources classes. Perhaps a study that investigates dental school curriculum by qualitative analysis would remedy the problem.
Quantitative Problem Statement Quantitative analysis of long patient wait times in a dental office. Long wait times are a waste of resources (Wang, 2014). Patients arrive at the dental clinic only to wait to be called back (Li Min, 2012).There are three instances during the dental visit that the patient has to sit and wait till the next
