A Critique of "Predictors of Life Satisfaction in Stroke Survivors and Spousal
Caregivers after Inpatient Rehabilitation"
Written Critique #2 - Chapters 6 & 7
To What Types Of Patients Do These Research Conclusions Apply? Who Was In The
Study?
Go to Appendix A-4 on page 282 in the textbook. Review the abstract (first page of report that is
all in italics) then under the heading Methods, read the Study Design and Sample Population
section (page 284) of the research report, “Predictors of Life Satisfaction in Stroke Survivors and
Spousal Caregivers after Inpatient Rehabilitation” by Ostwald, Godwin, & Cron (2009).
Now answer the following questions:
1. Given that “the purpose of this study was to identify, among many physical and

population” or “study population” that would include every person who fits the
population of interest. Hint: If your answer is yes, what are the specific common
characteristics that define the target population for this study (see discussion on page
107)? (3 points)
Answer:
Yes, the specific common characteristics of the target population are:
