My research correlation question is- What is the relationship between nicotine products and continued smoking cessation after 6 months post discharge in patients that quit smoking during their hospital stay? There is a variety of statistics that makeup a measure of correlation which distinguishes the connection between variables (Gray et al., 2021).
Null and Alternate Hypotheses
A Null hypothesis states that there is no connection among the variables that are being researched and the Alternate hypothesis is research that is actually being performed (Polit, 2010).
The Null hypothesis for this assignment is- Patients that have quit smoking during their hospital stay that receive nicotine products post discharge do not remain smoke free post 6 months of discharge. The Alternate Hypothesis is- Patients that have quit smoking during their hospital stay that receive nicotine products post discharge do remain smoke free post 6 months of discharge. The independent variable is nicotine products, and the dependent variable is the patients that has been discharged 6 months ago.
Predictions
My prediction for the expected relationship between receiving nicotine products and the patient remaining smoke free 6 months post discharge is positive and that these patients have a greater chance of success to stop smoking. I think that this relationship between these two variables exist because the patient has already been motivated enough to quit smoking during their hospital stay and with continued use of nicotine products, it will decrease the urge to restart smoking. Many people that are admitted to our psych hospital are committed to change and the smoking cessation products can assist in this continued change. Other factors that might affect the outcomes are the patient does not use the products post discharge, they are presented with a cigarette from a family member post discharge, and they are not in a locked facility that prohibits smoking.

problem statement. Patients that have quit smoking during their hospital stay that receive nicotine products post the discharge often tend to have some problems in completely quitting smoking. Abstaining smoking is a continuous process that takes some time. To achieve smoke-free post the hospital treatments, there is always the need for further rehabilitation processes to ensure full recovery or achievement of smoke-free status. One of the questions that I would like to ask in this research process is: What are some of the data collection processes that can be applied in the research process? Also, while determining the relationship between the dependent and independent variables, what are some of the values to consider?
When determining the relationship between the dependent and independent variables, there is always the consideration of Pearson correlation (Chen et al., 2019). A strong correlation is always indicated by values closer to 1, either from a positive or negative direction (Grove et al., 2021). The expected relationship between receiving nicotine products and the remaining patient smoke-free 6 months post-discharge is positive, and that these patients have a greater chance of success to stop smoking. When there is no strong correlation between the dependent and independent variables, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. On the other hand, a strong correlation between the dependent and independent variables means that we use the alternative hypothesis to make a conclusion. Some of the factors that may impact the outcomes of the research process include the extraneous variables that may be recorded during the data collection process.
