Firstly, due to time and human constraints, the small sample size of the Grade I hospitals in this study affected the completeness of the norm. Also, the convenience sampling method used for hospital selection might introduce bias, as it does not ensure a randomized and comprehensive ...
Nonetheless, the final sample size was determined to be statistically appropriate.

Biases in the sample would be even less likely to have an effect on relationships over time within persons. In all of the analyses, the term prediction is used to indicate statistical rather than temporal prediction. Whereas reports of stressors (tasks) and appraisal of these stressors refer ...
The strategy of analysis comprised an examination of the descriptive data of the sample, bivariate analysis with parametric and non-parametric tests, depending on the nature of the distributions (correlation, ANOVA, Kruskall-Wallis, chi squared). In order to go further into the objective of the ...
