A health psychologist wanted to investigate nurses' perspectives on differences in how younger adults and older adults adhered to post-operative rehabilitation exercises. Previous research on recovery compliance showed inconsistent findings. The researcher randomly selected six hospitals from all the public hospitals in a regional healthcare trust. Five of the six hospitals agreed to take part. The researcher designed a structured interview containing five questions and interviewed the senior charge nurses of the orthopedic wards and the cardiology wards in these five hospitals.
