Applying the Results and Conclusion of the Research Process to Problems in Health Care

The problem at hand is the issue of teen pregnancy. Teens are young people who have just joined adulthood. The issue seems to be more prevalent in the rural areas. Sexual activities by the teenagers are on the rise this result to young girls getting pregnant. This issue is a big problem to the nursing practitioners in these rural communities; this challenge is intensified by presence of barriers to open discussions concerning teen pregnancy for instance , many rural southern communities social and cultural aspects discourage the open discussions on safe sexual practices it’s like a taboo (Weiss, 2012). The problem is important for healthcare administrators to study for cases of teen pregnancy are associated with increased infant and maternal risk complications and hardships, this settles more on costs related handling such situations. These teens are forced to drop out of school , lead marriages that break easily and in many situation they lead a life of poverty .this affects both the infant and the teen whose skills and ability to bring up a baby are insignificant in case where a concerned grown up does not intervene. Understanding how to handle those situations and challenges will increase the efficiency on service provision units dealing with teen children especially girls at the rural community health centers.

The independent variable shows any change that occurred .it affects the dependent variable. Dependent variable is pregnancy which the independent variable is age of the adolescent

Conceptual framework

This shows a conception or model of what is to be studied to show why things are the way they seem to be to attract a research. This helps to describe a tentative phenomenon that the researcher has shown interest upon; this will guide to achieve the research purpose. . The conceptual framework guided the study by starting with determination of data sources and its analysis by the software max qualitative data analysis. The analysis results were stated generally and latter for the teen pregnancy which was the point of interest. The problem and the reasons behind were stated and a proposed prevention like promotion of discussion concerning safe sexual practices was agreed as mitigations for the problem.

This help to gain prior knowledge to be able to understand the problem under study, its background and latest trends.

With this, an intervention can be designed for ultimate goal of a research is to establish the problem and find a solution.

Each study is assessed and findings are noted. This has little bias influence. For the research study 250 teenager were selected as the study sample from rural south Florida community (Weiss, 2012).
