Product Description
Preview:
Developing a research study to maximize care for our patients and promote health and wellness within the community can be challenging. Choosing which type of research methodology to apply can be difficult if the researcher is unfamiliar with the characteristics of each type. Qualitative research is more difficult to analyze than quantitative research. With qualitative research it is impossible to precisely measure outcomes. It relates more to experiences and reasoning and involves an understanding of relationships between variables. Qualitative research may be described as somewhat of a starting point for further analysis of treatment or investigation of evidence based practices (EBP).

Week 5: Qualitative Analysis Assignment
Code Sheet: Student Pet Peeve Data
Qualitative Analyses: The analytic method you will use to analyze the narrative data for this Assignment is called content analysis. It requires you to read each student’s narrative and then code its content using the thematic categories on page 4 (Coding Scheme: Student Pet Peeve Data). Once you have completed the coding, you will need to describe the most common types of “pet peeves” that students have about their courses.

Summary Data Analysis Form
This is the form you need to use to describe the findings (or results) of your quantitative analyses of the patient safety data set. For each finding, you are given specific instructions on how to use the Excel program to analyze the data that will give you the results you need for this Assignment. When you have completed the analyses and described your findings on this form, you then need to submit it using the Week 5 platform for assignments.
Analysis 1:
What is the mean age of patients in the patient safety data set?
_____ years
Instructions:
- Open up your patient safety data set using the Microsoft Excel program.
- At the top of your screen, click on “Formulas.”
- Highlight Column B, starting at line 2 and ending at line 52.
- Click on “Autosum,” and then click on “Average.”
- You will find the mean age of patients in the data set on line 52 for Column B.
Analysis 2:
What percentage of patients were reported to have fallen during their hospitalization?
_____ %
Instructions:
- Open up your patient safety data set using the Microsoft Excel program.
- At the top of your screen, click on “Formulas.”
- Highlight Column G, starting at line 2 and ending at line 52.
- Click on “Sum.”
- The number of patients in the data set who had reported falls during their hospitalization is now given on line 52 for Column G.
- To calculate the percentage of patients who fell during their hospitalization, divide the number of falls by the total number of patients in the data set (n = 50).
Analysis 3:
What percentage of patients reported catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) during their hospitalization?
_____ %
Instructions:
- Open up your patient safety data set using the Microsoft Excel program.
- At the top of your screen, click on “Formulas.”
- Highlight Column H, starting at line 2 and ending at line 52.
- Click on “Sum.”
- The number of patients in the data set who reported CAUTIs during their hospitalization is now given on line 52 for Column H.
- To calculate the percentage of patients with CAUTIs during their hospitalization, divide the number of CAUTIsby the total number of patients in the data set (n = 50).
Analysis 4:
What percentage of patients reported medication errors during their hospitalization?
_____ %
Instructions:
- Open up your patient safety data set using the Microsoft Excel program.
- At the top of your screen, click on “Formulas.”
- Highlight Column I, starting at line 2 and ending at line 52.
- Click on “Sum.”
- The number of patients in the data set who reported medication errors during their hospitalization is now given on line 52 for Column I.
- To calculate the percentage of patients with reported medication errors during their hospitalization, divide the number of errors by the total number of patients in the data set (n = 50).
Analysis 5:
What percentage of patients reported methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections when first admitted to the medical unit?
_____ %
Instructions:
- Open up your patient safety data set using the Microsoft Excel program.
- At the top of your screen, click on “Formulas.”
- Highlight Column J, starting at line 2 and ending at line 52.
- Click on “Sum.”
- The number of patients in the data set who reported MRSA infections at the beginning of their hospitalization is now given on line 52 for Column J.
- To calculate the percentage of patients with MRSA, divide the number of errors by the total number of patients in the data set (n = 50).
Data Analysis
Summarize the findings from your analyses about these patient safety events that occurred in 1 month on the two medical units at this major urban hospital. What additional information would you need to help develop a plan to decrease the occurrence of these events? The summary should consist of a minimum of 350 words and should be two to three paragraphs.
