Problem
Research Project - Read and summarize a statistical article on nursing
Overview
Statistics is prevalent everywhere, and we see the use of statistics in the nursing field as well. One reason it is important for us to understand statistics is so we can determine the validity of clinical studies, or other experiments that may impact our jobs, procedures, and the health of our patients.
Instructions
For this project, please search for an article in nursing that involves some level of statistical analysis. Here is what is expected:
• Select your article and provide a link so your article can be accessed.
• Read one article and provide a summary of the article and any research done.
• Look at the statistics used in the article. What was the research question (hypothesis)? What parameter would be of interest in this study (population means, population proportion, population standard deviation, etc.) What was the statistical test run in the analysis? (Did they run a regression analysis, Z-test, T-test, ANOVA, etc.)
