A two-way ANOVA and binary logistic regression were conducted to analyze factors influencing knowledge of calorie and BMI among students and staff of the Faculty of Health Sciences, UKM. The two-way ANOVA found no significant interaction between race and school but both school and race had a main effect on knowledge scores. Post-hoc tests found significant differences between diagnostic and healthcare schools, and rehabilitation and healthcare schools. The logistic regression found that only education level significantly predicted knowledge, with graduates having 15 times higher odds of higher knowledge than undergraduates. No other factors like gender, race, family history or BMI significantly predicted knowledge.

STATISTICAL TECHNIQUE IN REVIEW
Most studies describe the subjects that comprise the study sample. This description of the sample
is called the sample characteristics which may be presented in a table or the narrative of the
article. The sample characteristics are often presented for each of the groups in a study (i.e. experimental
and control groups). Descriptive statistics are used to generate sample characteristics, and
the type of statistic used depends on the level of measurement of the demographic variables
included in a study (Burns & Grove, 2007). For example, measuring gender produces nominal level
data that can be described using frequencies, percentages, and mode. Measuring educational level
usually produces ordinal data that can be described using frequencies, percentages, mode, median,
and range. Obtaining each subject’s specific age is an example of ratio data that can be described
using mean, range, and standard deviation. Interval and ratio data are analyzed with the same type
of statistics and are usually referred to as interval/ratio level data in this text.

Introduction
Troy and Dalgas-Pelish (2003) conducted a quasi-experimental study to determine the effectiveness
of a self-care intervention (Tiredness Management Guide [TMG]) on postpartum fatigue. The study
subjects included 68 primiparous mothers, who were randomly assigned to either the experimental
group (32 subjects) or the control group (36 subjects) using a computer program. The results of
the study indicated that the TMG was effective in reducing levels of morning postpartum fatigue
from the 2nd to 4th weeks postpartum. These researchers recommend that “mothers need to be
informed that they will probably experience postpartum fatigue and be taught to assess and manage
this phenomenon” (Troy & Dalgas-Pelish, 2003, pp. 44-5).
Relevant Study Results
“A total of 80 women were initially enrolled [in the study] . . . twelve of these women dropped out
of the study resulting in a final sample of 68.” (Troy & Dalgas-Pelish, 2003, p. 39). The researchers
presented the characteristics of their sample in a table format for the experimental and control
groups (see Table 1). The researchers found no significant differences between the control and
experimental groups for any of the demographic or attribute variables.

This study assessed the effectiveness of an educational package on mothers' knowledge of bronchial asthma. 80 mothers of children with asthma were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Both groups completed a pre-test knowledge questionnaire. The experimental group then received an educational package (video and booklet) on asthma. Both groups later completed an identical post-test. Scores increased significantly more in the experimental group compared to the control, indicating the educational package improved mothers' asthma knowledge. The study demonstrated asthma education for mothers can be effective in increasing knowledge to help manage their children's condition.
This document provides an overview of parametric statistical tests, including the t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Z-test. It describes the assumptions, calculations, and procedures for each test. The t-test is used to compare means of small samples and can be used for one sample, two independent samples, or paired samples. ANOVA allows comparison of multiple population means and is used when more than two groups are involved. Pearson's correlation measures the strength of association between two continuous variables. The Z-test, which is used for larger samples, can be applied to compare means or proportions.

The document discusses several studies related to prescribing competence of junior doctors, antibiotic use, and childhood injuries and illnesses. It summarizes the following key points:
- A study found that only 31% of junior doctors correctly answered questions about prescribing for children, though this increased to 73% after local training initiatives.
- Using an interactive booklet on respiratory infections reduced antibiotic prescribing in children from 40.8% to 19.5% and decreased parents' plans to seek future care.
- Early childhood lead exposure was associated with poorer performance on writing assessments even at blood lead levels below 10 μg/dl, suggesting the threshold for concern should be lowered to 5 μg/dl.
- Children under age 12 have an elevated
- This randomized controlled trial studied the effect of erythropoietin treatment in 941 extremely preterm infants between 24 and 27 weeks gestation. Infants received either erythropoietin or placebo intravenously for 6 doses then subcutaneously until 32 weeks postmenstrual age.
- The primary outcome of death or severe neurodevelopmental impairment at 2 years was not significantly different between the erythropoietin and placebo groups. No meaningful differences in serious adverse events were found.
- Unlike previous studies, this larger trial found that high-dose erythropoietin treatment did not reduce the risk of death or improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely preterm infants compared to placebo.
Acute bacterial meningitis in children with 1st episode of febrile_V2.pptxrasel64
This study aimed to determine the frequency of acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) among children aged 6-60 months presenting with their first febrile seizure at a hospital in Pakistan. Of the 169 children studied, ABM was diagnosed in 10 children (5.92%). Stratification showed no significant associations between ABM diagnosis and factors like age, gender, family history, maternal education or residence. While the study found a lower prevalence than some others, vaccinations have reduced global bacterial meningitis rates among febrile seizure cases. The conclusion is that ABM frequency in children with febrile seizures is not high, at 5.92% in this study population.

Introduction
The scenario I will be working with is that I am working at NCLEX Memorial Hospital in the infectious disease unit. As a healthcare professional, I need to work to improve the health of individuals, families and communities in various settings. The current situation that has posed as a problem at the hospital and raised eyebrows is that in the past few days, there has been an increase in patients admitted with a particular infectious disease. The basic statistical analysis shows that the disease does not affect minors hence the ages of the infected patients does play a critical role in the method that shall be required to treat the patients in order to impact positively on the health and well-being of the clients being served whether infected with the disease or associated with those infected. After speaking to the manager, we decided that we shall work together in utilising the available statistical analysis to look closer into the ages of the infected patients. To do that, I had to put together a spreadsheet with the data containing the information we shall need to carry out the analysis.
Data Analysis
From the data collected and input on an Excel sheet, there are sixty patients with the infectious disease. Of the patient’s whose data has already been collected an input on the excel sheet, the ages range from thirty-five years of age to seventy-six. There is only one patient in their thirties with the age of thirty-five. There are five patients in their forties, One forty-five, one forty-six, two at forty-eight and two at forty-nine. There are fifteen patients in their fifties, two at fifty, one fifty-two, one fifty-three, one fifty-four, four at fifty-five, one fifty-six, one at fifty-eight and four at fifty-nine. There are twenty-three patients in their sixties, five at sixty, one at sixty-two, one at sixty-three, two at sixty-four, one at sixty-five, three at sixty-eight and seven at sixty-nine. Finally, we have fifteen infected patients in their seventies, six at seventy, three at seventy-one, three at seventy-two, one at seventy-three, one at seventy-four and one at seventy-six. From the graph in Figure 1 below, the horizontal axis depicts the age group of patients infected with the disease and the vertical axis depicts the number of patients in the age group infected with the disease.

EXERCISE 11 USING STATISTICS TO DESCRIBE A STUDY SAMPLE
STATISTICAL TECHNIQUE IN REVIEW
Most studies describe the subjects that comprise the study sample. This description of the sample is called the sample characteristics which may be presented in a table or the narrative of the article. The sample characteristics are often presented for each of the groups in a study (i.e. experimental and control groups). Descriptive statistics are used to generate sample characteristics, and the type of statistic used depends on the level of measurement of the demographic variables included in a study (Burns & Grove, 2007). For example, measuring gender produces nominal level data that can be described using frequencies, percentages, and mode. Measuring educational level usually produces ordinal data that can be described using frequencies, percentages, mode, median, and range. Obtaining each subject's specific age is an example of ratio data that can be described using mean, range, and standard deviation. Interval and ratio data are analyzed with the same type of statistics and are usually referred to as interval/ratio level data in this text.

Introduction
Troy and Dalgas-Pelish (2003) conducted a quasi-experimental study to determine the effectiveness of a self-care intervention (Tiredness Management Guide [TMG]) on postpartum fatigue. The study subjects included 68 primiparous mothers, who were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (32 subjects) or the control group (36 subjects) using a computer program. The results of the study indicated that the TMG was effective in reducing levels of morning postpartum fatigue from the 2nd to 4th weeks postpartum. These researchers recommend that “mothers need to be informed that they will probably experience postpartum fatigue and be taught to assess and manage this phenomenon” (Troy & Dalgas-Pelish, 2003, pp. 44-5).
Relevant Study Results
“A total of 80 women were initially enrolled [in the study] … twelve of these women dropped out of the study resulting in a final sample of 68.” (Troy & Dalgas-Pelish, 2003, p. 39). The researchers presen.

The document discusses several studies related to prescribing competence of junior doctors, antibiotic use, and childhood injuries and illnesses. It summarizes the following key points:
- A study found that only 31% of junior doctors correctly answered questions about prescribing for children, though this increased to 73% after local training initiatives.
- Using an interactive booklet on respiratory infections reduced antibiotic prescribing in children from 40.8% to 19.5% and decreased parents' plans to seek future care.
- Early childhood lead exposure was associated with poorer performance on writing assessments even at blood lead levels below 10 μg/dl, suggesting the threshold for concern should be lowered to 5 μg/dl.
- Children under age 12 have an elevated
- This randomized controlled trial studied the effect of erythropoietin treatment in 941 extremely preterm infants between 24 and 27 weeks gestation. Infants received either erythropoietin or placebo intravenously for 6 doses then subcutaneously until 32 weeks postmenstrual age.
- The primary outcome of death or severe neurodevelopmental impairment at 2 years was not significantly different between the erythropoietin and placebo groups. No meaningful differences in serious adverse events were found.
- Unlike previous studies, this larger trial found that high-dose erythropoietin treatment did not reduce the risk of death or improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely preterm infants compared to placebo.
Acute bacterial meningitis in children with 1st episode of febrile_V2.pptxrasel64
This study aimed to determine the frequency of acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) among children aged 6-60 months presenting with their first febrile seizure at a hospital in Pakistan. Of the 169 children studied, ABM was diagnosed in 10 children (5.92%). Stratification showed no significant associations between ABM diagnosis and factors like age, gender, family history, maternal education or residence. While the study found a lower prevalence than some others, vaccinations have reduced global bacterial meningitis rates among febrile seizure cases. The conclusion is that ABM frequency in children with febrile seizures is not high, at 5.92% in this study population.

Introduction
The scenario I will be working with is that I am working at NCLEX Memorial Hospital in the infectious disease unit. As a healthcare professional, I need to work to improve the health of individuals, families and communities in various settings. The current situation that has posed as a problem at the hospital and raised eyebrows is that in the past few days, there has been an increase in patients admitted with a particular infectious disease. The basic statistical analysis shows that the disease does not affect minors hence the ages of the infected patients does play a critical role in the method that shall be required to treat the patients in order to impact positively on the health and well-being of the clients being served whether infected with the disease or associated with those infected. After speaking to the manager, we decided that we shall work together in utilising the available statistical analysis to look closer into the ages of the infected patients. To do that, I had to put together a spreadsheet with the data containing the information we shall need to carry out the analysis.
Data Analysis
From the data collected and input on an Excel sheet, there are sixty patients with the infectious disease. Of the patient’s whose data has already been collected an input on the excel sheet, the ages range from thirty-five years of age to seventy-six. There is only one patient in their thirties with the age of thirty-five. There are five patients in their forties, One forty-five, one forty-six, two at forty-eight and two at forty-nine. There are fifteen patients in their fifties, two at fifty, one fifty-two, one fifty-three, one fifty-four, four at fifty-five, one fifty-six, one at fifty-eight and four at fifty-nine. There are twenty-three patients in their sixties, five at sixty, one at sixty-two, one at sixty-three, two at sixty-four, one at sixty-five, three at sixty-eight and seven at sixty-nine. Finally, we have fifteen infected patients in their seventies, six at seventy, three at seventy-one, three at seventy-two, one at seventy-three, one at seventy-four and one at seventy-six. From the graph in Figure 1 below, the horizontal axis depicts the age group of patients infected with the disease and the vertical axis depicts the number of patients in the age group infected with the disease.
Figure 1
Data Classification
The qualitative variables in our data analysis would be the names of the patients infected with the disease while the quantitative data would be their ages, number of patients in each age category or age bracket that are infected with the disease and the number of patients in each specific age that are affect ...

32. SECTION -B
1. The first objective assesses the pre-test and post-test level of anxiety among
hospitalized children in experimental and control group.
Table9 (Figure3.9):Depicts that among 30 subjects of experimental group in
pretest 10 (33.33%) mild level of anxiety, 09 (30%) are having moderate,
11(36.66%) have a severe level of anxiety and post-test 18 (60%) mild level of
anxiety, 07 (23.33%) are having moderate, 05(16.66%) have a severe level of
anxiety Table 10 (Figure3.10):Depicts that among 30 subjects of control group in
pretest 07 (23.33%) mild level of anxiety, 08 (26.66%) are having moderate, 15
(50%) have a severe level of anxiety and post-test 17 (56.66%) mild level of
anxiety, 07 (23.33%) are having moderate, 06(20%) have a severe level of anxiety
33. SECTION – C
The second objective was to find out to effectiveness of Origami in reducing anxiety
level of hospitalized children in experimental group.
Table 11, and fig no3.11 Revealed that increase the knowledge as calculated “t’ value is
18.06 greater than table value 2.66 at p<0.001 level of confidence. So, the H1 hypothesis
(There will be significant difference between in pre and post test score regarding
regarding anxiety reduction.) is accepted.
SECTION - D
The Third objective was found out the compare the pre and post-test level of anxiety
among hospitalized children in control group.
Table 12, and fig no3.12 Revealed that reduce the anxiety level as calculated “t’ value is
11.62 greater than table value 2.66 at p<0.001 level of confidence. Table 13, and fig no3.13
Revealed that reduce the anxiety level in control group as calculated “t’ value is 14.06 greater
than table value 2.66 at p<0.001 level of confidence.
34. SECTION – E
The four objective was found out the compare the pre and post-test level of
anxiety among hospitalized children in Experimental group.
13, and fig no3.13 Revealed that reduce the anxiety level in control group as
calculated “t’ value is 14.06 greater than table value 2.66 at p<0.001 level of
confidence.
SECTION – F
The fifth objective was found out the association between pre-test level of
anxiety among hospitalized children in experimental and control group with
selected demographic variables.
35. Table 14 shows that there is significant association While the chi - square value of
gender, family type, number of siblings, area of residence 13.48, 14.24, 18.67,
`respectively which is more than tabulated value 12.59, 9.49,5.99 at the degree of
freedom 6,4,2 So H1 hypothesis is accepted with regards to knowledge. Hence there
is no significant while the chi- square value of age in year, birth order of child,
religion, 2.78 and 7.21 and 7.45 an association between above stated socio demographic
variables with pretest knowledge regarding anxiety reduction among child So H2
hypothesis is rejected with regards to knowledge.
36. SUMMARY
The chapter deal with discussion of finding of the study. It includes discussion of the
finding under different section such as distribution of subject according to
sociodemographic variables, association between child in hospital and
sociodemographic variables.
