Data Gathering Process
The researchers will present a letter of approval to the Dean of the College of Nursing to ask permission to conduct a study outside the school premises. Before starting the data gathering procedure, the self made research tool will be subjected for validity and reliability tests to ensure that the quality of data that will be gathered from the respondents is accurate. The questionnaire will be validated by a panel composed of three experts, a statistician, an english professor and a nurse professor. The reliability test will be conducted based on the results of the pilot study that will be held on barangay Progreso in San Juan city . A letter will also be sent to significant authorities such as barangay captain and president of the senior citizens group under barangay 864 zone 94 asking permission to conduct the study. The letter will also include the sample questionnaire for the further assessment of the administrators and will be subjected for approval or modification of the study. Before administering the tool, the elderly will be oriented about the questionnaire that they will answer and will be informed about the purpose of the study. The researchers will also emphasize that their identity and privacy will be ensured and their answers to the questionnaire will be confidential to others.
