Part 1: Quantitative Analyses
In this section of the assignment, you will conduct descriptive analyses of quantitative data using Excel. The purpose of the analysis is to examine the extent of adverse events experienced by patients during their hospitalization. The data for this analysis can be found in the Quantitative Data Excel Assignment spreadsheet provided in this week’s resources.
To begin the analysis, follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the Instructions: Quantitative Analysis Assignment document. These instructions will guide you through the process of using Excel to conduct the descriptive analyses. Make sure to carefully follow each step to ensure accurate results.
Once you have completed the analyses, you will need to describe the findings and summarize what they tell you about the patients and the extent of the adverse events they experienced. This can be done by completing the Summary Data Analysis Form provided in this week’s resources. The form will prompt you to enter the relevant information and provide a summary of your findings.
Part 2: Qualitative Analyses
In this section of the assignment, you will conduct qualitative analyses using a method called content analysis. The purpose of the analysis is to identify the most common types of “pet peeves” that students have about their courses. The data for this analysis can be found in the Perceived Pet Peeves Data document provided in this week’s resources.
To conduct the content analysis, follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the Instructions: Content Coding of Student Pet Peeves document. These instructions will guide you through the process of reading each student’s narrative and coding its content using thematic categories on a coding sheet. Make sure to carefully follow each step to ensure accurate and reliable coding.
Once you have completed the coding, you will need to describe the most common types of “pet peeves” that students have about their courses. This can be done by analyzing the coded data and identifying the themes that emerge. The Code Sheet: Student Pet Peeve Data document provided in this week’s resources can be used to carry out the coding as defined in the instructions.
In the written part of this assignment, you will need to provide a description of the most common types of “pet peeves” that students have about their courses. This can be based on the themes that have been identified through the content analysis. Make sure to provide clear and concise explanations of each type of “pet peeve” and support your descriptions with examples from the data.
Overall, this assignment involves both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The quantitative analyses will provide insights into the extent of adverse events experienced by patients, while the qualitative analyses will shed light on the most common types of “pet peeves” that students have about their courses. By completing both parts of the assignment, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the data and be able to draw meaningful conclusions.
