This week, you

explore key statistical concepts related to data and problem solving

through the completion of the following exercises using SPSS and the

information found in your Statistics and Data Analysis for Nursing

Research textbook. The focus of this assignment will be on correlation

coefficients, tools that can help to determine the strength of the

relationship between variables. Because multiple factors influence

health care variables, it is important for you to understand how to

calculate and interpret correlation coefficients.

To prepare:

Review the Statistics and Data Analysis for Nursing Research chapters

that you read as a part of the Week 6 Learning Resources. As you do so,

pay close attention to the examples presented—they provide information

that will be useful for you to recall when completing the software

exercises. You may also wish to review the Research Methods for

Evidence-Based Practice video resources.

Refer to the Week 6 Correlations Exercises and follow the directions to

calculate correlational statistics using Polit2SetB.sav data set.

Compare your data output against the tables presented in the Week 6 Correlations Exercises SPSS Output document.

Formulate an initial interpretation of the meaning or implication of your calculations.

To complete:

Complete the Part I and Part II steps and Assignments as outlined in the Week 6 Correlations Exercises page.
