3.0 Methodology In the previous chapter we have gone through the some issue that related to the nursing profession from the public view, the gender issue and the formal education for those who want to be a nurse. In this chapter, we are going to explain in detail our methodology which includes sample, data collection, procedure and analysis. 3.1 Sample We choose our sample for this research among the public which come from different education level, age, religions and gender. In our opinion, different education level will give the different feedback because most people who have higher education level will think more logically and rationally. The religion and gender aspect might be the issue or give the different view of the acceptance of male nurses according to the religion’s rules about male and female and also their sensitivity. Different age also can be the factor their acceptance towards male nurses. Some people who were born in 40’s to 60’s still concern about their races cultures and their mind set still cannot accept that men also can do women’s job and nursing is still suitable for women. We had agreed to do our research among 80 people. 3.2 Procedure Several communities have been chosen to do our research. We choose the community base on the place that we can get the greatest and easiest deal with our sample such as UMP’s community, our parent’s friends, and our friend’s friends. We also choose our sample among people that we knew at our previous college as our group members are direct entry from different college. For some community we have to make an appointment to meet and some of them not depend on their work. 3.3 Data Collection Method For this research, we had agreed to use questionnaire as our main data collection method. At first, we want to do interviews and questionnaire. After several meeting and discussion, we find that it is hard for us to do the interview because our sample came from different state as we do not have a transport. We also have time management problem because our learning schedule clash with our sample free time. So we had decided to do questionnaire that we will send to them by e-mail and letter. 3.4 Data Analysis The data that had been collected will be analyzed and presented in form of bar or pie chart in next chapter.
