5. MANN WHITNEY U: Identify the variables InterventionGroups and PatientSatisfaction. Using the Analysis Menu, go to Non-parametric Statistics, go to LegacyDialogs, go to 2 Independent samples. Add InterventionGroups to the Grouping Variable and PatientSatisfaction to the Test Variable. Check Mann Whitney U. Click OK. Report the Medians or Means, the Mann Whitney U statistic, and the p level. Report (U =value, p =value). Report the p level out three digits.
6. WILCOXON Z: Identify the variables BaselineWeight and InterventionWeight. Go to the Analysis Menu, go to Non-parametric Statistics, go to LegacyDialogs, go to 2 Related samples. Add the BaselineWeight and InterventionWeight in the Pair 1 fields. Click OK. Report the Mean or Median weights, standard deviations, Z-statistic, and p level. Report as (Z =value, p =value). Report the p level out three digits.

Include the following in your paper:

1. Discussion of the types of statistical tests used and why they have been chosen.
2. Discussion of the differences between parametric and non-parametric tests.
3. Description of the reported results of the statistical tests above.
4. Summary of the conclusive result of the data analyses.
5. Outputs from the statistical analysis provided as an Appendix to the paper.
6. Comparison table of the variable’s level of measurement provided as an Appendix to the paper.

Use the following guidelines to report the test results:

• Statistically Significant Difference: When reporting exact p values, state early in the data analysis and results section, the alpha level used for the significance criterion for all tests in the project. Example: An alpha or significance level of < .05 was used for all statistical tests in the project. Then if the p-level is less than this value identified, the result is considered statistically significant. A statistically significant difference was noted between the scores before compared to after the intervention t(24) = 2.37, p = .007. 
• Marginally Significant Difference: If the results are found in the predicted direction but are not statistically significant, indicate that results were marginally significant. Example: Scores indicated a marginally significant preference for the intervention group (M = 3.54, SD = 1.20) compared to the baseline (M = 3.10, SD = .90), t(24) = 1.37, p = .07. Or there was a marginal difference in readmissions before (15) compared to after (10) the intervention ꭓ2(1) = 4.75, p = .06.
• Non-Significant Trend: If the p-value is over .10, report results revealed a non-significant trend in the predicted direction. Example: Results indicated a non-significant trend for the intervention group (14) over the baseline (12), ꭓ2(1) = 1.75, p = .26.

The results of the inferential analysis are used for decision-making and not hypothesis testing. It is important to look at the real results and establish what criterion is necessary for further implementation of the project’s findings. These conclusions are a start.

Portfolio Practice Hours:

Practice immersion assignments are based on your current course objectives and is application-based learning using your real-world practice setting. These assignments earn practice immersion hours and are indicated in the syllabus by a Portfolio Practice Hours statement, which reminds you, the learner, to enter in a corresponding case log in Typhon. Actual practice immersion hours are entered, but the average hours associated with each practice immersion assignment is 10.

You are required to complete your assignment using a real-world application. Real-world application requires the use of evidence-based data, contemporary theories, and concepts presented in the course. The culmination of your assignment must present a viable application in a current practice setting. For more information on parameters for practice immersion hours, please refer to DNP resources in the DC Network.

To earn portfolio practice hours, enter the following after the references section of your paper:

Practice Hours Completion Statement DNP-830

I, (INSERT NAME), verify that I have completed (NUMBER OF) practice immersion hours in association with the goals and objectives for this assignment. I have also tracked said practice immersion hours in the Typhon Student Tracking System for verification purposes and will be sure that all approvals are in place from my faculty and practice mentor.

 

Discussion: Developing an IMC Plan

While Maddie, Tess and Chris wrap things up with Elder Care let’s get you and your classmates started on this week’s discussion. You’ve already done the groundwork with the exercise in the scenario – now we are going to expand on what you’ve already done.

You will be playing the role of the marketing director for either EnviroCamp or Madison Pet Foods and targeting the consumer segment you selected earlier. You MUST use the combination of firm and segment that you have already selected. You will be developing an IMC proposal for the firm and target audience you selected.  Remember that Maddie recapped some of the important things to consider when you develop an IMC plan, including objectives, segmentation, branding and integrating different parts of promotion into your strategy.

Begin by telling your client what you hope to achieve with your IMC plan – these are your objectives – be sure they are SMART. Then, select at least three of the types of media listed in the scenario exercise. You do NOT have to use the same ones you selected originally, but you do need to stay in the same budget. Here they are below.

Advertising
Personal selling
Pricing
Social media
Sales promotion
Brand image
Direct marketing
Dog bone
Public relations
Guerilla marketing

For each of the three, describe in detail what you will present to your client, including the theme of your message, which execution technique (slice of life, demonstration. etc) you will use and if you plan to use an emotional or cognitive approach to reach the consumer. For at least ONE of your media types, you must provide your client with a visual of some type, such as PowerPoint mockup of your ad or billboard, a screen shot your social media page or a storyboard.

Remember your initial post is due Thursday.

For your responses, play the role of the client and give them feedback, which might include questions, regarding their proposal. As usual, your initial post is expected to be at least 350 words and college level writing is expected.

Major is Education and Sport Management

• State your cultural competence philosophy.
• Describe two or three ways to incorporate your philosophy into an understanding and respectful early childhood environment.
• Discuss two to three obstacles you might encounter when creating a culturally relevant learning environment.
• Identify ways to address these challenges.

In the Dynamics of Difference section,

• Develop an activity that you can share with children and families to encourage and support respect for difference and other cultures. Be sure your activity description gives sufficient detail so that families will gain a clear understanding of what they are doing and why they are doing it.

In the Knowledge of Students’ Culture section,

• Describe the types of culturally relevant and anti-bias curriculum you will use in learning environments so families can understand how learning is organized in your early learning setting.
• Provide a graphic showing the main components of culturally relevant and anti-bias curriculum.

In the Institutionalizing Cultural Knowledge and Adapting to Diversity section,

• Explain how you will adapt to diversity and serve diverse populations in early childhood settings.
