The interpretation of research in health care is essential to decision making. By understanding research, health care providers can identify risk factors, trends, outcomes for treatment, health care costs and best practices. To be effective in evaluating and interpreting research, the reader must first understand how to interpret the findings. You will practice article analysis in Topics 2, 3, and 5.
For this assignment:
Search the GCU Library and find three different health care articles that use quantitative research. Do not use articles that appear in the topic Resources or textbook. Complete an article analysis for each using the “Article Analysis 1” template.
Refer to the “Patient Preference and Satisfaction in Hospital-at-Home and Usual Hospital Care for COPD Exacerbations: Results of a Randomised Controlled Trial,” in conjunction with the “Article Analysis Example 1,” for an example of an article analysis.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Broad Topic Area/Title
Perceptions of mental health care consumers regarding their conditions
Identify Independent and Dependent Variables and Type of Data for the Variables
Independent variable: A study on women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
Dependent Variable: The relationship between Social Capita and Self-Efficacy.
Independent Variable: The conditions of mental health care consumers.
Dependent Variable: The different perception consumers have.
Independent Variable: The ADHD Symptoms of different parents.
Dependent Variable: The sleep and sleeping habits of children.
Population of Interest for the Study
Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in two diabetes centers in Mazandaran, Iran.
Mental health Care Consumers in South Africa.
Children in eight public schools, a private school for children with learning difference, and two pediatrician practices.
Sample
Two Hundred and twelve women living who have Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Ninety-Four patients from different cultural backgrounds with a mean age of 36 years.
The sample included twenty-seven children, twenty-four biological mothers, and nineteen biological fathers.
Sampling Method
Stratified Sampling
Simple-random sampling
Cluster Sampling
Descriptive Statistics (Mean, Median, Mode; Standard Deviation)
Identify examples of descriptive statistics in the article.
Among eight dimensions of social capital, the highest and the lowest mean scores were related to pro-activity (21.3) and tolerance of diversity (5) dimensions. The mean (standard deviation=SD) of self-efficacy total score was 40.7(18.2), indicating moderate self-efficacy.
Ninety-four patients (58.5% male) were included in the study, with a mean age of 36 years.
Mean TST for the 26 child participants who completed cartography for 7 days during the study was 7.57 hours. Child participants had a mean SOL of 41.85 minutes, and mean WASO of 59.65 minutes. Parent report of child sleep habits on the CSHQ ranged from the minimum total score of 30 to 60, with a mean (standard deviation) of 44.89 (7.64). Nineteen of the 27 children (73%) scored above the cut score of 41, indicating potential sleep problems. Parent report of child sleep hygiene scores on the CSHS ranged from 24.02 to 33.27, with a mean (standard deviation) of 28.8 (2.45). Higher scores on the CSHS indicate better sleep hygiene with a maximum possible score of 36.
Inferential Statistics
Identify examples of inferential statistics in the article.
The majority of women (82.1%) and their husbands (50.9%) were housewives and self-employed, respectively. The majority of women had no children (61.8%); 22.6% of the women were dissatisfied with their economic status. According to the BMI on early pregnancy, the majority of women (52.8%) were over-weight
Although most (72.0%) believed that faith in God and help from religious leaders (34.4%) could contribute to their mental wellbeing, 29.0% reckoned that keeping their ancestors happy would protect them from sickness and bad luck
The sample’s racial distribution was representative of the metropolitan area’s racial demographic distribution among families. The U.S. Census Bureau (2015) reported the metropolitan area’s population to be 77.9% white, 15.1% black, and 6.9% Hispanic or Latino. This compares to the country’s demographic statistics: 77.1% white, 13.3% black, and 17.6% Hispanic or Latino
