Assignment I –
Module 6 Case Study/ Problem Set – Measures of Association

Question 1: Several researchers felt that certain dietary habits
increased an individual’s chance of developing colon cancer. To test this
hypothesis, the researchers identified a group of patients whose initial
diagnosis on admission was colon cancer. Another group of admitted patients
with non-cancer diagnosis were used as a control group. Patients in both groups
were interviewed to find out about their dietary habits. The interviewers did
not know which patients had cancer and which did not. Table 1 shows data that
resulted from the study.

1.    What type of study is this?

2.    On what basis dis you decide on the type of
study it represents?

3.    Is there an association between exposure and
the disease? Interpret your results. 

Question 2: To
investigate the association between psychological variables and coronary heart
disease, a group of researchers randomly sampled persons without coronary heart
disease into groups as having behavior pattern type A and type B. These persons
were followed over a period of time to see how many developed coronary heart
diseases (CHD).

The type A behavior pattern is defined as manifesting an intense
sustained drive for achievement and as being continually involved in
competition and deadline. Type B is more relaxed, not showing this intense
drive and involvement in competition. The researchers hypothesize that people
with type A personalities will exhibit a greater amount of CHD because of the
psychological stress of their way of life.  Table 2 shows data that
resulted from the study.

2.    On what basis dis you decide on the type of
study it represents?

3.    Is there an association between exposure and
the disease? Interpret your results. 

Question 3: In
an earlier study of coronary heart disease and personality type, trained
investigators were sent out to interview a random sample of people aged 40-59
in a small community. Each respondent was asked questions which established
their personality as type A or type B. A medical history was taken to determine
the presence or absence of coronary heart disease. Table 3 shows data that
resulted from the study.

2.    On what basis dis you decide on the type of
study it represents?

3.    Is there an association between exposure and
the disease? Interpret your results. 

Question 4: You
are concerned about the relation between toxic waste sites and nervous system
disorders. You identify 300 people who were recently diagnosed with nervous
system disorders in Pennsylvania. This group includes all individuals diagnosed
nervous system disorders in 2018. You then randomly select a group of 300
healthy individuals from Pennsylvania, frequency-matching on age, sex and
county of residence. You find that those with nervous system disorders, 210
have a large toxic waste site within a mile of their home. Of the controls, 170
have a large toxic waste site within a mile of their home.

1.    What study design is this?

2.    On what basis did you determine the study
design?

3.    Given the data above, create a 2X2 table.

4.    Calculate the appropriate measure of
association between toxic waste site and nervous system disorders. Interpret
your results.

This week you will be completing the first two components of the Communication Strategic Plan: Assessment and Diagnosis.

Instructions

The requirements for the outline are as follows:

• Setting the Stage
  1. Assessment
     • Define the problem, challenge or opportunity for improvement:
       • Identify a problem, challenge, or opportunity related to patient safety that you feel could be improved with enhanced communication and or teamwork. (This was completed in Module 1.)
         • Identify any HCAHPS data for your health care facility or patient outcome data collected by the health care organization that can be linked to the identified problem.
       • Describe the applicable work setting, including the following:
         • Organizational /unit description (check the organization’s website for a description of the organization with regard to size, services offered, population served, for-profit or nonprofit. Describe the unit: type of unit, services provided, number of beds etc.)
         • Resources available: for example (but not limited to), human resources (staff), educational resources, equipment, supplies, technology, and leadership.
     • Describe the process by which the target problem, challenge, or opportunity occurs by stating what the process is, who is involved, and when and where it occurs.
     • Identify potential root causes of the problem:
       • Break the problem apart: Perform a root cause analysis using the Root Cause Analysis Chart in Module 1.
       • Create a simple flowchart, or map the process during which the problem, challenge, or opportunity occurs: Write the process steps as they currently occur, identifying who is doing what, when, and with what tools.
       • Study the process to identify a minimum of 2 risk points where things could go wrong and lead to a recurrence of the target problem.
  2. Diagnosis
     • Define the aim (what are you hoping to accomplish) of your TeamSTEPPS communication and/or teamwork strategy.
     • Describe how this strategy will improve the identified problem.
     • Define measurable goal(s).

Here is an example of a measurable goal for a surgery unit experiencing an increase in postoperative infections that implemented CUS strategy to address surgical team handwashing: The surgical unit at XYZ Hospital will experience a 5% reduction in postoperative infection rates from January 1, 2019, to April 1, 2019
