Free Case Study On Successful Recovery Of Cancer Patients

Human Resource Management

I) Conceptual Model Linking the three variables
The successful recovery of cancer patients is mainly dependent on three independent variables namely: 1) quick and correct diagnosis by the doctor; 2) careful following of instructions by the nurses; and 3) peace and quiet in the vicinity. All these three factors are independent of each other but when taken together can produce a positive end result. After getting the correct diagnosis of the doctor right away, the doctor will prescribe procedures and medicines that should be strictly followed by the patient, with the assistance of the nurses who will provide the necessary care while the medical procedures are on-going. After the patient has undertaken the necessary procedures such as chemotherapy, there should be peace and quiet within the vicinity where the patients is regaining strength and recuperating. Aside from these three variables, the intervening variable that is should be considered for these patients is rest, and the moderating variable will depend on the stage of the cancer. The stage of cancer will also determine whether the patient will still be able to take the medical procedures that will be prescribed by the doctor.II) Four hypotheses based on the relationships of the conceptual model1. The cancer patients’ successful recovery can be achieved through timely medical intervention by undergoing the necessary procedures and following the doctors’ orders.
2. Following the instructions of nurses will not automatically ensure the recovery of cancer patients and will depend on the stage of the cancer.
3. Peace and quiet in the vicinity will help in the full recovery of the patient because such environment will alleviate the pain suffered by the patient.
4. When the patient has reached stage 4 cancer and the cancer cells have metastasized in other parts of the body, recovery is impossible despite the complete rest, medical treatment and eating of healthy foods.
