3.1 Research Design

The design of the study was cross sectional. This means that the sample size was taken
from the target population and the information was obtained at the same time on a
particular point in time.

3.2 Study Area Population

The target population of this study will be the health care providers Sos Hospital Mogadishu-
Somalia.

Our target population is 50 persons of the health care providers in SOS hospital.

n= N/ 1+N (e²), 100/1+100(0.05²)=50

Where n = the required sample size.

N = the known population size.

e = the level of significance which given as 0.05 in social success 3.3Sample and
Sampling Techniques

The sampling technique of the research is Simple Random sampling.

3.4Research Instruments

We use Questionnaire as a data collection method, and further processing in statistics software
packages like SPSS.
3.6 Validity of Instruments

Test validity refers to the degree to which the test actually measures what it claims to measure.
Test validity is also the extent to which inferences, conclusions, and decisions made on the basis
of test scores are appropriate and meaningful.

3.7 Reliability of Instruments

Test reliablility refers to the degree to which a test is consistent and stable in measuring what it is
intended to measure. Most simply put, a test is reliable if it is consistent within itself and across
time.

Note: Validity and Reliability we will check by using a Spot test.

3.8 Data Collection and Procedure

Data will be compiled and coded in MS-EXCEl

Data analysis will be done using statistical software i.e. SPSS,
