Dear All,
I have a question: How do you account for unit(s) of analysis in your research?
My research is about analysing the implementation of a health promotion intervention in a birthing center.
The Center is situated in a university hospital. Some decisions taken by the hospital have an impact on
the Center’s intervention and on employees and patients’ relationships and perceptions.
So, I would like to know whether my unit of analysis is:
- only the Center as an organization or;
- the hospital (macro unit) plus the Center (meso) plus people relationships resulting from the organizational change (micro) or;
- The intervention itself? or
- something else.
Thanks for your help,
L.
