Scenario for Analysis #1 You, the intrepid DNP Student, are preparing to complete your clinical scholarly project as described in the Course Dataset handout (Week 1). Your chair, Dr. Abby Normal, has requested some demographic information about your sample as well as descriptive statistics. For this analysis we will focus on the following variables of interest: race, female, age, married, education, poverty, urban, bmi_pre, bmi_cat, and sessions. Descriptions of the variables can be found in the Course Dataset handout. Step 1: Open the data file you created at Immersion. If corrections or changes were required by your instructor in the SBSS Lab feedback, you MUST make these changes in order to complete the Analysis assignments. If you are unsure you have made the appropriate changes, contact your instructor BEFORE beginning this assignment. Step 2 (SPSS Output): Run the following statistics in a new (blank) output file: § To confirm the work is your own, first display the data file information in SPSS by going to File, Display Data File Information, Working File before beginning your analysis. Frequency table of interval/ratio variables with mean and standard deviation • Frequency tables of categorical (nominal and ordinal) variables. § Histograms of bmi_cat and education. § Save the SPSS output file to a place on your computer where you can find it again. o Name the file with your last name, the assignment number, the file type, and the date o Using the format: Lastname1_Output_MMDDYYY Step 3: Respond to the following questions. Your responses should follow APA formatting guidelines (e.g., double-spaced, referenced, etc.), but please do not include a cover page. 1. (Sample) In your own words, describe the variables of interest. In your description, make sure to include appropriately use measures of central tendency and corresponding measures of variation. Your descriptions should be bulleted, concise, substantive sentences describing your data beyond simply reporting descriptive statistics. No more than one sentence should be used for each variable. 2. (Table) Create a single APA table of descriptive statistics for the variables of interest to support your descriptions in question 1. 3. (Analysis) 1. In one to two sentences each, explain the variables of interest, what they measure, and how. 2. Based on the scenario described in the Course Data handout, identify two empirical research questions that could be answered using any of the variables of interest as predictors with an outcome of bmi_pre and bmi_cat. Use Mary’s Matrix to identify one appropriate statistical test to answer the research question. 4. (Summary) Prepare a brief Summary for your CSP chair, Dr. Abby Normal, summarizing the findings of your analysis and proposing a direction for further evaluation. Use statistical jargon sparingly and, when you do, explain what you mean. Focus on substantive interpretation supported by APA format statistics. 5. Save the file using the format: Lastname_Analysis2_MMDDYYY Step 4: Submit your 2 files for grading. Updated 8/31/2018 The Analysis #1 assignment will be graded with the following rubric: Exemplary 4 Proficient 3 Developing 2 Emerging 1 SPSS Output (2.5) Complete file that contains all elements of Step 2 of the instructions and is logical given the assignment scenario Complete file that contains all elements of Step 2 of the instructions but does not match the assignment scenario well File contains most elements of Step 2 of the instructions File does not comply with Step 2 of the instructions Variables (1.25) Response addresses all variables of interest. (AND) Each description is substantive, clear, and concise. (AND) Each variable is described with an appropriate measure of central tendency and appropriate measure of variation. (AND) Uses bullet points appropriately. Response addresses all variables of interest. (AND/OR) All or most descriptions are substantive, but may not clearly describe the variable. (AND) Uses bullet points appropriately (OR) Response may be missing one or two measures of central tendency and/or variation. Response does not address all variables of interest. (OR) Descriptions are not substantive. (OR) Response is missing more than two measures of central tendency and/or variation. (OR) Does not use bullet points.

(OR) Analysis is not clear and concise. (OR) Does not use bullet format Analysis is less than 70% accurate. (AND) Analysis is not clear and concise. (AND/OR) Does not use bullet format. Summary (2.5) Summary is clear, concise, and substantive; uses statistical evidence appropriately. (AND) Summary directly responds to the prompt. Summary is substantive and uses statistical evidence appropriately. (AND) Summary directly responds to the prompt. Summary is not clear, concise, or substantive (OR) does not use statistical evidence appropriately. (OR) Summary attempts to respond to the prompt, but lacks clarity. Summary does not respond to the prompt. Expression and Format (1.25) Writing is graduate level and engaging. (AND) Written responses communicate clearly using appropriate professional tone, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Writing is graduate level and engaging. (AND) Written responses may not communicate clearly, use appropriate professional tone, or there may be a few errors grammar, spelling, and punctuation without detracting from readability. Writing may not be graduate level. (OR) Written responses do not communicate clearly, use appropriate professional tone, or there are several errors grammar, spelling, and punctuation, detracting from overall |
