Multifaceted Analysis of Efficacy through Guided

Consider the follow table. A researcher is trying to compare a number of assessment outcomes for frail patients who have social support versus those who do not. The outcomes measured are: functional performance score, nutritional assessment score, and length of stay.

a. What is the sample size of this study?

b. What conclusion should the researcher make regarding functional performance? Please provide relevant numbers and clear explanation of your rationale.

c. What conclusion should the researcher make regarding nutritional assessment?. Please provide relevant numbers and clear explanation of your rationale

d. What conclusion should the researcher make regarding length of stay? Please provide relevant numbers and clear explanation of your rationale.

You are conducting a study to compare the efficacy of different nursing interventions (guided imagery and mindfulness, music therapy, standard care). Several different outcomes are assessed and analyzed independently. The statistical output is displayed below.

a. What is the sample size of this study?

b. For the variable “anxiety score”, what would be your next course of action? Please provide clear explanation of your rationale.

c. For the variable “perceived behaviour control”, what would be your next course of action? Please provide clear explanation of your rationale.

d/ For the variable “subjective norm”, what would be your next course of action? Please provide clear explanation of your rationale.

3. A study comparing length of stay (LOS) of patients on the surgical unit receiving standard care versus a novel intervention results in the following:

a. Calculate the variance for each group

b. Calculate the effect size

4. A study is being conducted to investigate the efficacy of various forms of exercise training on retirees’ mobility confidence score (ranging from 0-20). A cohort of 60 participants have been randomly allocated to one of the following interventions. The participants’ confidence scores are provided below.

Please input the data into SPSS and compute the appropriate statistical test. Please write-up your results for publication in paragraph style. Please include all relevant variables and numbers in your results, do not include SPSS outputs.

Please compute the appropriate statistical test. Report only your write-up for publication in paragraph style. Please include all relevant information in your results, but do not include any tables/plots.

a. Provide the most appropriate descriptive statistics for gender and physics scores.

b. How does gender influence physics score?

6. A collection of 20 oil paintings were being ranked by an art master and their student. The art master would like to know the concordance between their own ranking and the student’s ranking. (In other words, they are interested in finding out if there is any relationship between the two rankings). Please compute the appropriate statistical test. Be sure to include your rationale for the type of statistical test chosen.
