The term analysis of variance is often referred to as ANOVA. It is a hypothesis-testing technique used to test the equality of two or more population means by examining the variances of samples. ANOVA can help to determine whether the differences in the samples are due to random error or systematic treatment effects that are usually due to a mean in one or more of the groups.

ANOVA can be used to compare the equality of three or more means, however when the means from two samples are compared using ANOVA it is equivalent to using a t-test to compare the means of independent samples. ANOVA assumptions are all populations involved follow a normal distribution; they have the same variance and are randomly selected and independent of each other.

A great example would be comparing educational levels from students in rural areas on the West coast. See the example below to determine how the ANOVA is completed.

The mean is calculated for each of your groups. Using the example of educational levels in rural areas on the West coast and calculate means for each population group.
The overall mean is then calculated for the groups combined.
Within each group, the total deviation of each individual’s score from the group mean is calculated. This is called within group variation.
Next, the deviation of each group mean from the overall mean is calculated. This is call between group variation.
Finally, an F statistic is calculated, which is the ratio of between group variation to the within group variation.
If the between group variation is significantly greater than the within group variation, then it is likely that there is a statistically significant difference between the groups. Using statistical software will tell you if the F statistic is significant (Thought Company, 2017).

Statistical Interaction is when two or more variables are placed in a situation to see if there is correlation between them. One variable needs to be able to react with another variable to determine if there is any statistical interaction (Statistics How To website, 2016). A statistical interaction is like having one issue and seeing if it can be treated by two different types of treatments. For example, in my professional field would be in between two factors such as variable “one” patient being treated for Chorioamnionitis with Ampicillin and Gentamycin and variable “two” patient being treated with Zosyn which patient response to the different treatment is progressively better than the other within 48 hours. You would commonly run into situations of interactions in the medical field but also in everyday life. For instance, weather is one of them. The dependent variable would be a weather front, the independent variables would be location of the weather front and whether it is a warm or cold front. That would determine the activity of the front systems and predict its path.

Research Paper

once you accept and pick a topic message me for some sources that correlate and can be included…

For NURS400: Emerging Scholarship and Trends in Healthcare.

8-12 pages apa with min of 4 sources … intro body and conclusion along with these directions…

Final Paper (due the end of Week 7)

 

An important component of this course is the research paper. The paper can be on a topic of your choice, but it must relate directly to the course material. You must use at least four academic bibliographic sources (paper or online) in addition to the required course readings. Wikepedia.com is not an acceptable academic reference at this university.

 

The paper should be between 8 and 12 pages in length, not including the title page and reference list.

 

The research paper should include an introduction of the topic, a body in which the topic is developed and references correctly cited in APA format, and a well-defined conclusion. For more information on how the essay exam questions and the research paper will be graded, see “Grading” below.

 

I strongly suggest that, as part of your research, you take advantage of the university’s online library link. There is a wide variety of resources there including many full-text papers and articles. This may be of particular advantage to any of you who are deployed and do not have traditional library resources available to you.

 

I also recommend that you contact me with the topic of your paper before you begin your research. The topic you choose may be too broad or too narrow, and a discussion may help you to focus so that your learning will be maximized and your paper will be the best it can be.

 

You must submit your final papers through Turnitin.com. This is a site that checks for plagiarism, as well as providing resources to assist you in preparing your paper. Be careful in your gathering of resources for your paper and do not copy directly from your sources! Your paper is due at the end of Week 7 of class.

 

As is clearly stated in the Student Handbook, you must submit an original paper for each course that you take at APU/AMU. It is not acceptable to use the same paper for more than one class. You can use the same topic and change the focus if you like, but your work must be original to this course. Be assured that Turnitin.com will let me know if you copy too much of a previous work!

 

Often, students submit papers with grammatical errors that are not picked up with Spell Check. One technique that might work for you is to read your paper aloud, to yourself or someone else, before you submit it. Often reading it aloud and seeing the words on the paper simultaneously will help you to pick up these grammatical errors that ultimately will cost you grading points.

 

Research papers will be graded using the Writing assignment grading rubric, found in the classroom.

Picot -clinical nursing problem

The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.

ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.

Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.

Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.

The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).

Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.

Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article’s abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.

Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:

Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
Using the advanced search page check the box beside “Research Article” in the “Limit Your Results” section.
When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
