Major Statistics Assignment This major statistics assignment will finally pull together everything that was learned in this course. The application of all content within this course will be incorporated to three different research scenarios. Within each scenario, hypothesis testing will be done, followed by a discussion of relevant descriptive statistics and finally, a discussion of the findings which includes nursing practice implications and research implications.
Research Scenario #1 In this research scenario, the researchers were interested in the following research question: “Is there a difference in nurses’ abilities to identify nursing skills that reflect knowledge of client centered care values of A) respect and human dignity B) consistency, continuity and timelessness of care or C) patient autonomy, patient voice and patient as decision maker.” To answer this research question, a hypothesis testing will be conducted followed by a discussion of the findings. The discussion of the findings will include a discussion of descriptive statistics, followed by nursing and research implications.
Hypothesis Testing
Step 1. The first step in hypothesis testing is to state the null and research hypothesis. The null hypothesis can be: “There is no difference in the nurse’s abilities to identify nursing skills that reflect knowledge of client centered care values of A) respect and human dignity B) consistency, continuity and timelessness of care or C) patient autonomy, patient voice and patient as decision maker.” Conversely, the research hypothesis is “There a difference in the nurse’s abilities to identify nursing skills that reflect knowledge of client centered care values of A) respect and human dignity B) consistency, continuity and timelessness of care or C) patient autonomy, patient voice and patient as decision maker.”
