¶ … health care centers (PHCC) in Stockholm County, 40 of them were randomly selected using an old-fashioned, non-probability method of basically drawing names from a hat. The author notes, "every PHCC was given a unique number that was written on a paper card and placed in a pot. For transparency, two colleagues independently drew 20 paper cards each, a total of 40." Of these 40, one declined to participate. Therefore, 39 PHCCs were selected, and one nurse from each PHCC served as contact person. The sample size is adequate and actually fairly large for the study. Although unconventional, bias was not introduced by using this method of sample selection, and the sample can be considered representative of the population given the randomness of the PHCC selection procedure. Eligibility criteria are also clearly identified, as the contact person nurse needed to comply with the study... Informed consent was acquired during the selection procedure, and the rights of the subjects were insured by coding the questionnaires.

7. Data Collection
Data collection instructions are clearly identified, and include the initial questionnaire and follow-up interview. These methods are appropriate for the problem being studied, which was to measure preparedness. All subjects received the same questionnaire, so there was no internal validity problem. The instruments were designed specifically for this study, to measure exposure to intimate partner violence. Instrument validity is limited, but the questions are clearly outlined to ensure test reliability.
8. Data Analysis
The researchers use STATA 9.0 for statistical analysis and descriptive statistic acquisition. Frequency tables were garnered from the software. A Pearson's chi-square test was used with p-value of

The median is the mid-point of a given data set; rather than the mean, which produces a single number that takes into account the extremes of the data set as well as the middle, the median tends to be more stable, finding the half-way point between extremes rather than directly incorporating them. For wage comparisons, especially over time, the median is useful and an excellent choice of statistical tool precisely
Comparing Studies: What are the Data Saying? Types of Studies The study by Ong, Chua and Ng (2014) entitled “Barriers and facilitators to self-monitoring of blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes using insulin: a qualitative study” was a qualitative study that used interviews to collect data from diabetes patients.

Nurse Research Decision theory describes the rules and standards that are used to make some specific form of decision or judgment. With respect to data analysis, decision theory describes the rules and procedures that should be used to interpret the results of the findings in the data. Such rules include hypothesis testing, qualitative data interpretation, and other types of inferential procedures. Probability theory is used in quantitative data analysis and provides
Nursing Research Utilization Project Proposal: Hospital Noise The level of noise in a hospital is a serious issue for the nurses and the patients. Surveys have been created in an effort to determine if the noise is bothersome, what kinds of problems it causes, and whether there is anything that can be done about the noise levels. It is important not only to identify the problem, but to determine what can

This study clearly highlighted that sleep shortage and work fatigue poses a threat to patient safety and that nurse self-care is warranted.[Dorrian et.al, (2006)] Nurse Support Services An earlier Australian study by Moore KA (2001) which observed 201 nurses working in three different hospitals had concluded that organizational restructuring policies and the consequent work overload was a high stressor for nurses and this was made worse by the poor
