The nurse researcher believes that the differences between two groups of patients after an intervention are not likely to be a chance occurrence. However, there is no statistical significance in the data analyzed regarding these groups. Is this possible?
1. No, if the findings have clinical significance, it must also have statistical significance to be valid.
2. No, this is a type I error.
3. Yes, the mathematical calculations figuring statistical significance are probably wrong.
4. Yes, a finding can be clinically significant without being statistically significant.
4
Rationale 1: The findings can be clinically significant without having statistical significance. This may depend on sample size.
Rationale 2: A type I error occurs when an intervention should not have been instituted based on the results of a study.
Rationale 3: There is no indication that there are mathematical errors. This situation can exist in nursing research.
Rationale 4: This is a possibility.
