CASE STUDY 1 & 2 Case Study - Phase 1: A group of DNP prepared clinicians at a community clinic note a recent increase in clients presenting with complications related to uncontrolled hypertension. The clinicians decide to briefly review a few charts in an attempt to identify a possible cause. The clinicians conclude the clients’ inability to manage lifestyle behaviors is the reason for the recent increase in complications. A preliminary review of the literature by the clinicians reveal evidence supports implementing individualized educational sessions to decrease complications related uncontrolled hypertension. Based on this information the clinicians begin to develop a plan to implement and evaluate a project. Case Study - Phase 2 The DNP clinicians returned to the literature for a more thorough review. The clinicians concluded the intervention of the project would be individualized educational sessions addressing the client’s self-efficacy for chronic disease management. The clinicians located a tool through the Stanford Patient Education Research Center that was developed and tested to measure the clinical problem of interest. The clinicians decided to use this tool to measure the outcome of increased self-efficacy for chronic disease management. In addition, the demographic data points of age, gender, ethnicity, and use of the Internet for health information were selected to describe the characteristics of the participants of the project. Week 8 1. What does the term Descriptive Statistics mean? 2. Identify which demographic and outcome data points in the case study a mean, range, and standard deviation will be calculated for. Provide a rationale for why this type of statistical analysis is appropriate for these data points. (Hint: this information is useful for your data analysis plan in NUR 704 or your related MSN courses). 3. Identify which demographic and outcome data points in the case study frequencies and percentages will be calculated for. Provide a rationale for why this type of statistical analysis is appropriate for these data points. (Hint: this information is useful for your data analysis plan in NUR 704 or related MSN courses). 4. Discuss one method the task force could use to analyze the collected outcome data (e.g. a group mean comparison of pre and post protocol values, a percent change, a t -test, etc). Include a rationale of why you chose this method. Also discuss any potential limitations of using this approach for data analysis. (Hint: you will be using this in your NUR 704 data evaluation plan or your related MSN courses).
