Click on the Statistics button (right side of box) and click on Descriptives , Estimates , Confidence Interval (should be 95%), and Model Fit , then click on Continue . 6. Click on OK . Assignment: Through analysis of the SPSS output, answer the following questions. Answer questions 1 – 10 individually, not in paragraph form 1. What is the total sample size? 2. What is the mean income and mean number of hours worked? 3. What is the correlation coefficient between the outcome and predictor variables? Is it significant? How would you describe the strength and direction of the relationship? 4. What it the value of R squared (coefficient of determination)? Interpret the value. 5. Interpret the standard error of the estimate? What information does this value provide to the researcher? 6. The model fit is determined by the ANOVA table results ( F statistic = 37.226, 1,376 degrees of freedom, and the p value is .001). Based on these results, does the model fit the data? Briefly explain. (Hint: A significant finding indicates good model fit.) 7. Based on the coefficients, what is the value of the y-intercept (point at which the line of best fit crosses the y-axis)? 8. Based on the output, write out the regression equation for predicting family income. 9. Using the regression equation, what is the predicted monthly family income for women working 35 hours per week? 10. Using the regression equation, what is the predicted monthly family income for women working 20 hours per week? For this assignment, answer question 1 through 10 individually. DO NOT ANSWER IN PARAGRAPH FORM. Multiple Regression Assignment: In this assignment we are trying to predict CES-D score (depression) in women. The research question is: How well do age, educational attainment, employment, abuse, and poor health predict depression? Using Polit2SetC data set, run a multiple regression using CES-D Score ( cesd ) as the outcome variable (Y) and respondent’s age ( age ), educational attainment ( educatn ), currently employed ( worknow ), number, types of abuse ( nabuse ), and poor health ( poorhlth ) as the independent variables (X). When conducting any regression analysis, the dependent (outcome) variables is always (Y) and is placed on the y-axis, and the independent (predictor) variable is always (X) and is placed on the x-axis.

Community Windshield Survey 2025

Purpose The purpose of this assignment is to complete a direct observational assessment of a community in your area. This windshield survey will help you to identify a vulnerable population, an important community health problem, and a related Healthy People 2020 objective for a community in your area. Course Outcomes This assignment enables the student to meet the following Course Outcomes. CO2: Assess the health needs of individuals, families, aggregates, and communities using demographic and epidemiological data to identify population health risks. (PO4) CO6: Utilize a systems-based and collaborative approach to address factors that influence the health of a community and population health problems. (PO2) Introduction to the Community: Identify the community you will be using for this assignment with the city and state, and provide a brief, one-paragraph description of the community. Your community should be the area where you live or the area surrounding your work setting. The community must include a residential area and be a large enough area to answer the survey questions. Do not include epidemiological or demographic data as this is based on what you observe. Windshield Survey: Assess your community by doing a windshield survey. Information about the components of a windshield survey is located in your textbook, Nies and McEwen (2019). Drive through the area and report your observations by answering the questions on the form. Be sure to include what you observed related to each of these categories, and also include any significant items that are missing in your community because this may be equally important in identifying a community health problem. Community vitality Indicators of social and economic conditions Health resources Environmental conditions related to health Social functioning Attitude toward healthcare Note: It is helpful to conduct this assessment at least two different times: during the day or evening, on a weekday, and/or on the weekend. If possible, plan on asking someone to drive during your survey so that you can take notes. Vulnerable population : Identify the aggregate or vulnerable populations that you observed in your community during your drive through. What did you observe about this population? Community problem: Based on your assessment in the survey above, identify and discuss one priority community health problem that a community health nurse could positively impact. Example: If you observed teens who were pregnant or had young children during your survey and felt this was a priority problem in your community, the diagnosis could be Risk of unintended pregnancy among adolescent girls in XXXX community as evidence by observation of pregnant teens and teens caring for young children during windshield survey. Healthy People 2020 Objective: Go to the Healthy People topic areas at https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives. Find a topic area that relates to one of the vulnerable populations you observed. Click on the topic area, and then click on the green Objectives tab. Review the objectives within that topic area to complete the relevant sections of the form. State the Healthy People 2020 objective number (not just a goal) that describes your problem.Example: The topic area Family Planning would be relevant. You would click on Family Planning, and then click the green Objectives tab, and you might choose FP-8.1 “Reduce pregnancies among adolescent females aged 15 to 17 years” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: Healthy People 2020, 2018, Objectives: Family Planning, para 8). Summary: Complete the summary of learning section. References : The purpose of this assignment is to document your observations of your community. Outside sources other than Healthy People 2020 should not be used. We have included this reference on the Windshield Survey form for you. Note: Please do the survey on the attachment.

by

Epidemiology: (PUBH – 6035 – 2) Module 3 Problem Set 2025

Question 1 Recently, a report was published describing a string of cases of Norwalk virus gastroenteritis among passengers on cruise ships. From this report, an epidemiologist went on to form a number of hypotheses as to why there had been this rather unusual increase in reported gastroenteritis outbreaks on cruise ships in 2012. The cruise ship owners contacted the Centers of Disease control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct an in-depth analysis of the possible modes of transmission of the Norwalk virus in the cruise ship environment. CDC investigators interviewed all of the passengers on the last affected cruise (N=3,000) and obtained information on the passenger’s recreational activities. They found the following results: 1,000 passengers had gone swimming in the upper deck pool and 2,000 passengers had never gone swimming in the upper deck pool. 100 of the passengers who swam in the upper deck pool and 100 of the passengers who did not swim in this pool developed Norwalk virus gastroenteritis during the cruise. FYI: The cruise lasted one week. · Set up the 2×2 table for these data. · Calculate the risk ratio of gastroenteritis associated with swimming in the upper deck pool. · State in words your interpretation of the above risk ratio · Calculate the risk difference in the above example · State in words your interpretation of the above risk difference Question 2 For this problem, note the following chart: Age Group (in years) % of Population in Age Group Influenza Rate per 1,000  person-years There are 10,000 individuals in City A, which is located in Massachusetts. Eight young individuals and 420 old individuals develop the flu over the course of a year. · Use these data to calculate the crude influenza rate per 1,000 individuals per years in City A. · What is the crude rate of influenza in City B? · What is the crude rate of influenza in City C? · Calculate an age-adjusted influenza rate for each of the cities. Use the age distribution for the State of Massachusetts (shown in the table) as the standard. Question 3 Recently, Australian researchers conducted a study of the relationship between optimism and colon cancer survival. Their hypothesis was that colon cancer patients who had a positive outlook on life would have a lower five-year cumulative incidence of mortality. The study included 100 recently diagnosed colon cancer patients who underwent psychological testing and were found to have a optimistic outlook on life and 100 recently diagnosed colon cancer patients who underwent the same psychological tests and were found to have a pessimistic outlook on life. By the end of five years of follow-up, 50 of the 100 patients with the optimistic outlook and 75 of the 100 patients with the pessimistic outlook had died from colon cancer. · Set up and fill in the two by two table using these data. · What is the prevalence of colon cancer in the study population? · Compare the cumulative incidence of mortality in the optimistic group to the cumulative incidence of mortality in the pessimistic group using a ratio measure of association. · State in words your interpretation of the result you found in part c.

Practice Experience Discussion CAUTI 2025

In this week’s Discussion, you shared your experiences with health care practice problems as a consumer and/or as a practitioner. Now, consider your current practice setting and think about something specific and relevant to your practice setting that you would like to see improved or changed. Interview a key leader in your practice setting who can confirm that your practice problem is one that should be addressed to enhance delivery or performance in the field. It is important to remember from the beginning that your practice problem must be measurable , and that you identify data that suggests a problem exists, and although this comes up more specifically in Week 2, it is important to consider this from the start. This will be the problem discussed in your Practice Experience Project, Capstone Paper, and Storyboard. By Day 4 Identify a measurable patient-centered practice problem related to quality or safety and relevant to your practice setting that you will also focus on in your Capstone Paper, and post a brief description of the problem and an explanation of why you selected it. Explain how the conversation you had with the key leader in your practice setting impacted your decision to address this particular practice problem. Be sure to support your practice problem with the literature that indicates the relevance of this problem for nursing practice. Provide evidence from your practice area and describe the data that is available. You will not be collecting any data during the practice experience project; you will use data already available to you in your workplace or other practice setting. Think about the different kinds of data that is shared with you in your work area. For example, data may include patient satisfaction scores, medication error rates, fall, CLABSI or CAUTI rates. Analyzing the data available to you is how you will identify that a quality problem exists. Data identifies potential areas for improvement, and monitors the effectiveness of any changes. It is important to obtain baseline data before beginning a quality improvement project and to analyze results during and at the end of a projec
