Assignment: Application:
Analysis of Quantitative and

Qualitative Data

In order to provide meaningful results, research processes must be carefully selected and appropriate for the data being analyzed. Statistical programs such as SPSS are frequently utilized by researchers to conduct the analysis of large data sets. These data are organized to provide meaningful interpretation and often include descriptive statistics. Qualitative analysis is completed using content analysis, looking for patterns and themes that emerge from the data. Individual experiences described in interviews and focus groups are considered data and are often provided as examples to support the results in the study publication. Whether you will engage in either quantitative or qualitative research, it is likely that you will encounter both types of studies in the literature. As a nursing professional, being able to analyze and interpret both types of research designs will be important to affect nursing practice that promotes positive health outcomes in
quality of care and patient safety.

For this Assignment, you will conduct descriptive statistical analyses using quantitative data and then conduct content coding to analyze qualitative data. Please review the Instructions: Quantitative Analysis Assignment in this week’s resources to review how to complete this Assignment.

The Quantitative Data Excel Assignmentspreadsheet that you will need is in the resources for this week. Forthis Assignment, you will need to describe the ±ndings from youranalyses and summarize what they tell you about these patients andthe extent of the adverse events they experienced during theirhospitalization by completing the Summary Data Analysis Form in thisweek’s resources.Quantitative Resourceshttps://class.waldenu.edu/bbcswebdav/institution/USW1/201670_05/BS_NURS/NURS_3150/artifacts/Instructions_QuantitativeAnalysisAssignment_Week5.pdfhttps://class.waldenu.edu/bbcswebdav/institution/USW1/201670_05/BS_NURS/NURS_3150/artifacts/Codebook_QuantitativePatientSafetyData_Week5.pdfhttps://class.waldenu.edu/bbcswebdav/institution/USW1/201670_05/BS_NURS/NURS_3150/artifacts/Quantitative_SummaryDataAnalysisForm_Week5.docx

(In other words, what are the things that detracted fromtheir learning experiences in these courses)? The analytic method youwill use to analyze the narrative data for this Assignment is calledcontent analysis. It requires you to read each student’s narrative andthen code its content using thematic categories on a coding sheet. Thedocument provides detailed instructions on the step-by-step process ofconducting the content analysis. For the written part of thisassignment, you will need to describe the most common types of “petpeeves” that students have about their coursesQualitative Resourceshttps://class.waldenu.edu/bbcswebdav/institution/USW1/201670_05/BS_NURS/NURS_3150/artifacts/Qualitative_Instructions_ContentCodingOfStudentPeeves_Week5.docxhttps://class.waldenu.edu/bbcswebdav/institution/USW1/201670_05/BS_NURS/NURS_3150/artifacts/Qualitative_PerceivedPetPeevesData_Week5.pdfhttps://class.waldenu.edu/bbcswebdav/institution/USW1/201670_05/BS_NURS/NURS_3150/artifacts/CodeSheet_PetPeeveData_Week5.doc
