In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

3.6K
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

3.1K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Random and Systematic Errors01:20

Random and Systematic Errors

14.4K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...

Systematic Sampling Method01:17

Systematic Sampling Method

12.6K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
Systematic sampling is one of the simplest methods...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Chronic pain significantly impacts individuals and their relationships.
  • Couple interventions show promise in managing chronic pain more effectively than individual approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review randomized controlled trials of couple interventions for chronic pain.
  • To identify strategies from these interventions for integration into psychotherapy for individuals with chronic pain (ICPs) and their partners.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials.
  • Searched PubMed, Embase, and PsycInfo databases.
  • Included 18 studies (22 articles) on couple interventions for chronic pain.

Main Results:

  • Couple interventions demonstrated statistically significant improvements in pain intensity and pain-related outcomes compared to control or individual interventions.
  • Common strategies included pain education, joint relaxation/meditation, cognitive-behavioral skills training, promoting assistance, discouraging pain behaviors, and goal setting.

Conclusions:

  • Couple interventions offer effective strategies for managing chronic pain.
  • Therapists can integrate these relational, behaviorally-based strategies into practice to support couples coping with chronic pain.
