| Population of Interest for the Study | Patients initiating chemotherapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in New York for metastatic breast, genitourinary, gynecologic, or lung cancers | Adult patients with T2DM attending Jimma University Medical Centre (JUMC) in Ethiopia. | Malaysia patients above 18 years old in different stages of cancers which undergoing their 1th and 2nd cycles of chemotherapy and able to read. |
| Sample | 766 patients

161 patients
Intervention 81 Control = 80 |
| Sampling Method | Participants were first grouped as computer experienced and computer inexperienced depending on computer and email use and then randomized in respective groups. | Excel’s random number generator assigned 120 patients to intervention group and 120 patients to comparison group | Random sampling was used to group eligible patients. |
| Descriptive Statistics (Mean, Median, Mode; Standard Deviation)
|
Mean time on study 7.4 months
Median time was 3.7 months (range, 0.25 to 49) Mean of 16 clinic visits per patient (range, 1 to 114). |
Mean age 47 (10) years
Mean number of living with diabetes: intervention group 10 (6) years and comparison group 12 (7) years Intervention group mean diabetes knowledge score, 11.33 out of 20, comparison group, 10.61 out of 20. Intervention group participants performed foot care for a mean of 5.80 days per week, compared to 5.26 days for the comparison group |
Average age of the respondents was 65 years (mean = 65.49 ± 1.4; 95% CI = 64.08–66.90)
Mean differences of quality of life 81.95 |
| Inferential Statistics
|
Mean HRQL scores declined by less in the intervention arm compared with usual care (1.4- v 7.1-point drop; P < .001
Significant differences in quality-adjusted survival were observed during this 1-year period for all patients (mean of 8.0 v 8.7 months; P = .004) and were statistically significant in both subgroups |
Mean DKS score significantly increased by 0.76 in the intervention group and decreased by 0.16 in the comparison group from baseline to endpoint (p = 0.044)
mean number of days per week that the intervention group participants followed specific dietary recommendations significantly increased by 2.65 days from baseline to endpoint (p = 0.019) |
The mean differences of anxiety −0.31, (−0.59–0.03; p = 0.028) and depression −0.56, (−0.85–0.27; p = 0.000) for the intervention group was significantly lower compared to the control group from baseline until 3rd follow up. |
Article Analysis 1
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 Materials 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.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.
