Background information on the M7 Cumulative SPSS Data
Download the M7 Cumulative SPSS Data file associated with this worksheet. It has coded data that you will use to design, conduct, and interpret to demonstrate mastery of research methods and. It is updated regularly, so make sure you download the current file linked this specific term. Here is a description for each variable:   Variable names and descriptions Gender 0 = male; 1 = female Events number of stressful life events that had occurred in the last year SATISFACTION average Likert-based (1-5) response to survey assessing workplace satisfaction (higher indicates higher satisfaction) Error1 this number represents identification of OSHA hazards before completing the annual OSHA training (higher # = identification of more errors) Error2 this number represents identification of OSHA hazards after completing the annual OSHA training (higher # = identification of more errors) Employee  employee type (1 = sales; 2 = warehouse; 3 = management) Skills1 skills assessment taken within the first week on the job (higher = better skills) Skills2 skills assessment completed after 6 months on the job (higher = better skills) Skills3 skills assessment completed after 1 year of service (higher = better skills) Salary1 salary at time of hire Salary2 current salary Years number of years employed Personality Personality type (1 = Type “A” or 2 = Type “B”)
Cumulative Scenario 1 (30 pts)
  Using the dataset provided, determine two variables that would be appropriate to assess using a two-group design to assess a “difference”. It can be between-subjects (BS) or within-subjects (WS) design. Use your selections to answer the following questions.  
Decide on the two variables. List them using the names exactly as named within the SPSS file. For each, identify the variable type (independent or dependent). For the independent variable, indicate whether it is BS or WS. For the dependent variable, indicate its scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, or scale).   
ANSWER  
State the null and research hypotheses based on the variables you selected, labeling one as the “null” and one as “research”. Explain why you used a one- or two-tailed hypothesis, noting the grade on that portion is solely based on the consistency of your justification with your choice of tail type.
ANSWER  
Paste all relevant statistical output in the space provided below:
ANSWER  
Use the degrees of freedom from your SPSS output or if necessary, hand-calculate them using the formulas in your e-book. Using the Appendix in your e-book to find the critical value, and list it here (do NOT round – include all decimal places). Also label and state your obtained value from your SPSS output. Is the critical value SMALLER or LARGER than the obtained value from your SPSS output? Does this mean you REJECT or FAIL TO REJECT the null hypothesis? Does this mean the results are “significant” or “non-significant”?
ANSWER  
Create an appropriate graph in SPSS and format it using professional conventions. Present it as Figure 1 in the space below. Make sure you include the figure label (Figure 1), and create a Figure Title – all of this must be in proper format (including spacing and font style).

Infrastructure Review

As a nurse executive leader, you may very well be tasked with the evaluation of the current technology safeguards, infrastructure, and regulations surrounding the security of the enormous amount of patient data collected in your organization. As nursing continues to increase point-of-care clinical technology, there is potential to increase vulnerabilities and risks with protected health information.

There are a variety of tools to assist with these evaluations.( HealthIT.gov has downloadable programs for a Security Risk Assessment Tool.)

Choose one of the Word documents, and do not choose the same one as your peers if possible.  

Analyze the Administrative, Technical, or Physical Safeguards using the corresponding SRA tool.

Include the following aspects in the discussion:

  • Complete a review of your own organization’s infrastructure using the chosen tool. If you are not working, choose an organization for which you once worked (the chosen tool does not need to be submitted). 
  • Seek assistance when needed from appropriate departments within your own healthcare institution
  • Summarize what you discovered during the review
  • How did the tool assist in your assessment?
  • Discuss one vulnerability that you have discovered
