Summary and Descriptive Statistics

There is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within the organization or for health care information. Every year the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs health care professionals towards research, treatment options, or patient education.

Using the data on the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups. Refer to your textbook and the Topic Materials, as needed, for assistance in with creating Excel formulas.

Provide the following descriptive statistics:

1. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
2. Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for Range).
3. Once the data is calculated, provide a 150-250 word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

 opic 2 DQ 2

I think all aspects of religious beliefs and practices are a critical considerations for this patients. Previously, the religious affiliations to a patient were not regarded as having critical impact on a patient access to care. Nevertheless, the beliefs, rituals and the faith a patient has is reliable to the nature of care they receive. Clinicians do not often give attention to the religious views, spirituality or beliefs of a patients since they barley have impact on patient education from the perspective of a healthcare professional. Nevertheless, the current approach of shared decision making has shown critical impact when the values and preferences of a patients are incorporated into the decision making procedure (Kuipers et al., 2019). Although there may be a difference in religious beliefs between a patients and the healthcare professional, the values and preferences of a patient ought to be incorporated. Our feelings and knowledge of the field ought not to bar use form incorporating their preferences to the decision making procedure.

Owing to the diversity of religious views, and spirituality, I think the nursing profession should be oriented to incorporate all the views in delivering the care. They do not necessarily have to conform to what we belief in or be part of our values. The focus should be to ensure that the procedure is patient-centered and the patient’s preferences are adhered to. I also view the relationship between different religions as a chance for nurses to learn from patients. Through the interactions, they get to know the needs and values of different religion. In my opinion, this is a chance for healthcare professionals to understand more on the needs of such patients. Lastly, I think the health professional would offer their wealthy knowledge while following a patient-centered approach for Sister Mary to undergo treatment.

 What possible reservations could a health care professional have in working with Sister Mary? (Discuss the psychosocial responses the professional might have.)

Discussion: The Application of Data to Problem-Solving

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.

Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.

In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.

To Prepare:

· Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.

· Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.

By Day 3 of Week 1

Post a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?

Rubrics
