SETTING
Description of setting
Dependent variables (e.g., DV = ). This will be your outcome variable, e.g., number of falls or ER visits, etc.
Independent variables
(e.g., IV1 =
IV2 =). These would be your process or balancing variables or measures.
If a qualitative study there will be no independent and dependent variables but there will be concepts of interest.
Describe methods of measurement. This is how the variables were operationalized.
What stats were used to answer the clinical question?
Please identify the test and what variable it measured.
Examples:
Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient for association between EMS-SI and MBI
Regression Analysis – odds ratio/CI to evaluate the association between the dimension of burnout and the three safety outcomes
Frequencies, percentages, means and their corresponding standard deviations and min/mas were examined for the participant characteristics
Statistical findings or qualitative findings (i.e., for every statistical test you have in the data analysis column, you should have a finding).
Be sure to address how the results answer the research question or aims.
Examples:
-Higher reading comprehension scores correlated to 33% decreased risk of having a first relapse after initial treatment (tertile 3 vs 1 hazard ratio 0.67, 95% [CI]: 0.48-0.94, P trend = .02)
Self-efficacy significantly differed between the two groups during four centimetres cervical dilation (Z=−5.21, p<0.001) and eight centimetres cervical dilation (Z=−2.21, p=0.027). Strengths and Limitations of the study What is your assessment of the strengths and limitations; not only what the investigators identified as limitations. Risk or harm if study intervention or findings implemented Feasibility of use in your practice Remember: level of evidence + quality of evidence = strength of evidence & confidence to act Use the evidence hierarchy for Level of Evidence use the scheme outlined in Appendix D inpart 3 of the lecture on quantitative analysis Quality of Evidence: If the study was of poor quality or had major limitations, make sure you note how the evidence may be changes by this.
