Question Answered step-by-step 1. What sampling method or plan was used by the authors in this study? Simple random samplingConvenience samplingCluster samplingNetwork sampling2. According to Grove & Gray (2019), what are the potential biases of convenience sampling?This is a strong probability sampling method with very little potential for bias.This method is used when an ordered list of all members of the population are available, and provides a random but not equal chance for inclusion in the study.This method provides little opportunity to control for bias because subjects are included in the study merely because they happen to be in the right place at the right time.This method is specific to the individuals who were recruited and the information gained cannot be generalized to others who don’t share these types of experiences.3.

What types of questionnaires or surveys were used in this research study?(Select all that apply.)The authors developed the Mackey Childbirth Rating ScaleThe authors developed their own questions to ask about demographic information.Interviews were reportedly used, but the authors do not explain what was included in them.The authors used previously developed questionnaires or surveys.This study did not use any questionnaires or surveys.14. Were any physiological measurements collected from the subjects for the purpose of this study? Yes No15. Which of the following best describes the data collection process used in this study?(Select all that apply.)Participants were contacted by phone by nurse researcher.Participants were given the questionnaires on enrollment in the studyQuestionnaires / surveys were mailed to the prospective returned in a self-addressed stamped envelope.Data was collected by the researcher during laborParticipants were recruited from the pool of pregnant patients admitted to the hospital during a specific period16. Based on the study’s data collection methods, If there were more than one data collector, would an estimation of inter-rater reliability be an important concept for the authors to report on for this study? yes, and the authors reported their efforts to achieve inter-rater reliability.yes, but the authors do not discuss any efforts to achieve inter-rater reliability.no, the issue of inter-rater reliability does not apply here.17.

What inferential statistics were used to examine the data obtained from the subjects?(Select all that apply.)Pearson correlationsFactor Analysis t-TestKruskal-WallisChi-SquareANCOVAANOVAMultiple linear regression equationsNone of the above inferential statistics were used in this study.19. What is the level of significance (alpha) set at for this study? .01 or 1%.05 or 5%.10 or 10%an alpha level or level of significance chosen by the authors was not specifically mentioned in the text of the article and cannot be inferred.20. There are several statistically significant findings in this study. Which of these statements from the article would be considered a significant and predicted results?(Select all that apply.)Newborns’ first minute oxygen saturation levels were 89 in the experimental groups and 88 in the control groupThe median ?rst minute Apgar score was found to be 9 in DPSG, DPMG, and CG.The median ?fth minute Apgar score was found to be 10 in DPSG, 9 in DPMG, and 8 in CG.All groups were found to be similar in number of pregnancies, week of pregnancy, cervical dilatation at the time of hospitalization, and the duration of the active phase21. Which of these statements from the article would be considered a non-significant result?The median total labor dance durations were 48 and 56 minutes in DPSG and DPMG, respectively.Newborns’ ?rst minute oxygen saturation levels were 89 in the experimental groups (DPSG, DPMG) and 88 in the control group.The median ?fth minute Apgar score was found to be 10 in DPSG, 9 in DPMG, and 8 in CG.The ?fth minute oxygen saturation levels were 99 in the experimental groups and 94 in the control group.22. Which one of these statements from the article would be considered clinically important? The ?fth minute oxygen saturation levels were 99 in the experimental groups and 94 in the control group.The median total labor dance durations were 48 and 56 minutes in DPSG and DPMG, respectively.All groups were found to be similar in number of pregnancies, week of pregnancy, and cervical dilatation at the time of hospitalization.Abdolahian et al. (2014) reported a VAS score of 6.89 in the experimental groups and 8.29 in the control group.23. Which of the following statements are strengths of the study? (Select all that apply.)The sample was randomly selected.The groups were randomly assigned.The study was highly powered.Oxygen saturation results in this study agreed with those obtained in previous studies.24. Which one of these statements would be considered a statement regarding generalization of these results? This study was conducted in a mother-friendly hospital that allows spouses to be in the delivery room.The satisfaction status of women who received care under the leadership of midwives was found to be high compared to the women in other groups.Findings obtained in this study also reveal that labor dance renders positive effects not only on newborn babies but also on women giving birth.These study results are compatible with the literature.25. Which one of these statements from the article would be considered a recommendation for future studies?These study results are compatible with the literature.It is suggested to conduct dance practices in a wider sampling with other attendants a pregnant women would ask for.This study was conducted in a mother-friendly hospital that allows spouses to be in the delivery room.The results of this study demonstrated that labor dance positively affected labor pain, birth satisfaction, and neonatal results.**The effect of labor dance on perceived labor pain, birth satisfaction, and neonatal outcomes Health Science Science Nursing NURSING 4325 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
