🔧 Medicine Hypothesis Generator – How to Use?

A research hypothesis links the theory with the research question and engages the readers. If you formulate it well, you can bring your study to a new level!

Creating a good hypothesis can be challenging since you must remember many things. We created a nursing hypothesis generator to help every medical student develop the most suitable hypothesis for their writing.

Here's how to use it:

Define the object of your study. It should answer the question Who? or What?
Specify the outcome. This is what the object of your research does.
Point out the effect. Who or what is affected by the subject's activities?
Add the control group if necessary. Who or what is compared to the object?
Choose the effect you research. It is either positive or negative.

🤔 What Is a Hypothesis?

Simply put, a hypothesis is a statement you aim to test.

It is a potential scientific interpretation or an assumption for something you observe in your research. Usually, a hypothesis consists of three parts:

Definition of the problem;
A proposed solution;
Results.

What Is a Research Hypothesis in Psychology?

Formulating a hypothesis is one of the essential steps in psychological research. The key characteristics of a hypothesis in psychology include the following:

✅ It is testable.	You must be able to test the hypothesis using psychological research methods. Examples of those are interviews, observations, case studies, and questionnaires.
✅ It is logical.	A hypothesis is not a random guess; it should be based on previous research. The theory is critical in psychology; you can find plenty of material on Google Scholar and other resources.
✅ It is positive.	That means that the hypothesis should be a positive statement about the existence of something or its effects.

Null & Alternative Hypotheses

Two types of hypotheses are significant for quantitative research – null and alternative.

The null hypothesis proves there is no relationship between the two parameters you research.
- For example, daily meditation doesn't prevent depression.
The null hypothesis is always carefully tested by experiments or observations and heavily relies on statistical data. However, if it turns out that a relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable exists, it could be explained by a sampling error.
The alternative hypothesis is used to prove the statistical significance between the two phenomena.
- For example, regular meditations reduce the risk of depression.
In other words, an alternative hypothesis looks if there're ways to reject the null hypothesis.

🧠 How to Generate a Hypothesis

We prepared this step-by-step guide to help you develop the most suitable hypothesis for your research.

1. Do preliminary research.

Choose the topic and then collect the background information on it. Search for scientific articles to see what other scholars have already discovered on it, and think of what you can contribute.

2. Ask yourself questions.

When you explore scholarly sources, many questions may cross your mind. Write them down so they become a foundation for your hypothesis. We recommend choosing the research topic that sincerely interests you; it will inspire you throughout the writing process.

3. Indicate your variables.

Remember that your hypothesis should contain independent and dependent variables. Dependent parameters are the ones you experiment with or test, while independent ones are out of your control. Consider both to indicate the possible limitations of your research.

4. Brainstorm several hypotheses.

It is helpful to start brainstorming hypotheses with an "if-then" format. For example, "If children are praised for regularly visiting a doctor, they will cooperate better." This little trick will help you quickly identify the necessary variables and think of good hypothesis ideas.

5. Collect data to support your hypothesis.

Start collecting data that can prove your hypothesis. See which of your hypothesis ideas is the most measurable and testable. If your research proves that your assumption is wrong, don't worry. It is a part of the scientific process. However, you might also want to choose another hypothesis and test it.

6. Develop a final version of your hypothesis.

Having recorded your findings, you will clearly understand what hypothesis actually works. Write the final version confidently, make it concise, and be careful with your wording. You might want to ask your teacher for feedback on your hypothesis.

Topic	Research Question	Null Hypothesis	Alternative Hypothesis
Secondhand smoking	Does secondhand smoke affect a child's early life?	The development of lung disease during a child's early life is not directly related to secondhand smoking.	Secondhand smoke causes health problems in children, such as weaker lungs and higher exposure to bronchitis and pneumonia.
Health care costs	Is there a correlation between the health care cost and the quality of medical services provided?	The quality of medical services does not always correspond to their cost.	Expensive hospitals provide better medical services.
Sleeping disorders	Does sleep deprivation lead to other mental illnesses?	Sleep deprivation is not the cause of the development of other mental illnesses.	Sleep deprivation can cause other mental illnesses like anxiety disorder and depression.
