Biostatistic Power point Guidelines: For this assignment you will be
asked to select a primary research article from the medical or nursing
literature that uses the statistical tests of linear regression.
This should NOT be one of the articles included in the Grove textbook. You may
find an article by searching the published literature, or perhaps by simply
reviewing one of your favorite nursing or medical journals. This will help us
to a nice review of how the statistical test linear regression are used
in the literature to improve population health.
PowerPoint Outline (Slides) Narration is a MUST, written text should be included in the NOTES
section below the slide. This way the other students can read your feedback in
the notes section.
Suggested Slide
Set-Up
Slide 1: Title Slide (Name, Course Number)
Slide 2: Article Citation (Full Reference)
Slide 3: An overview of the study objective, study design
(Qualitative, Quantitative, Mixed Methods), sampling method.
Slide 4: Participants demographics tables (age, gender,
ect.)
Slide 5: Any instrumentation used (measurement method) and
reliability & validity (pre-existing and with this data set) as available
from researcher.
Slide 6: Any frequencies, percentage or line graphs.
Slide 7: Any descriptive statistics and/or measures of
central tendency and dispersion shared.
Slide 8: The researcher’s analysis method: statistical test
used. You should include the following in this section: · A brief overview of the
statistical test · How
it was used to help answer the research objective(s) (question) or present
findings
Slide 9: full results/findings
Slide 10: Your critique of the statistical test used: · Would you have used this
test to analyze data or another one?
Slide 11: Was their analysis presented clearly? · Did the author
rationalize why this test was selected?
Slide 12: Was there
any info missing you would have liked to have? ·
How did the researcher handle missing data?
Slide 13: Were there any outliers in the data? If so did the
researchers included or rejected them in the analysis?
Slide 14: Clinical Practice (Synthesis). How can we use the
information in this study for clinical practice to improve population health?
Every study will not have something to offer the clinical arena, nor always
have statistically significant information, so use your thinking cap here.
