20-25: Researcher’s Interpretation of the Findings. (For help with these questions, refer to chapters 11 & 12) 20. There are several statistically significant findings in this study. Which statement from the article would be considered a significant result? a. Caregivers reported the lowest level of confidence in caring for themselves (x2= 5.46, SD = 1.83). b. The average score on the PSS was 18.26 (SD = 7.17), but almost half (43%) of surveyed caregivers in this sample scored 20 or greater on the PSS. c. Forty-three percent of surveyed caregivers reported high levels of perceived stress, and caregivers in this sample indicated the presence of more anxiety and depression than the general SF12V12 database population. d. Caring for oneself correlated significantly with perceived stress (r = -0.63, p = < .01) and predicted 38% of the variance in PSS scores. 21. Which one of these statements from the article would be considered a non-significant result? a. Significant relationships between the additional CGI subscale scores and perceived stress (PSS) score were not detected. b. Overall, caregivers reported a moderate level of confidence in their ability to manage caregiving demands, which was indicated by the CGI total score (x2= 26.81, SD = 5.10). c. Despite reports of above average physical health (51stpercentile rank) in the current sample, 82% of the surveyed caregivers rated perceived mental health below the SF12v12 general population (43rdpercentile rank). d. Caregivers' percentile rankings on individual attributes of the SF12v12 ranged from 43.45 to 48.68. 22. Which one of these statements from the article would be considered clinically important? (Select all that apply) a. Self-efficacy for self-care is a significant weakness for informal caregivers. b. Overall, caregivers reported a moderate level of confidence in their ability to manage caregiving demands, which was indicated by the CGI total score (x2= 26.81, SD = 5.10). c. An inconsistency with previous literature was the finding that participants generally reported higher than average scores on physical health. d. A finding from this study are particularly important for nurses who interact with informal caregivers, is that a significant negative correlation exists between caregiver perceived stress and caregiver mental health ranking. 23. Which statements below, as reported by the author, would be considered a limitationof the study? (Select all that apply) a. The study population included a convenience sample of informal caregivers who were receiving some level of caregiving support from an agency that provided end-of-life supportive services. b. Health care providers must recognize the importance of caregiver self-efficacy. c. Future studies of caregivers should compare caregivers who receive supportive services to those who do not. d. The cross-sectional nature of the present study precludes learning about changes over time for any of the target variables. 24. Which of these statements would be considered a statement regarding generalizationof these results? a. The sample included adult informal caregivers recruited from community-based hospice agencies and therefore decreases the ability to generalize to all adult informal caregivers. b. The results of this study can be generalized to ethnic adult informal caregivers. c. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) has demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity in this and previous studies; as such, the results of this study can be generalized to all adult informal caregivers. d. The sample included adult informal caregivers recruited from community-based hospice agencies and therefore the results of this study can be generalized without caution to all adult informal caregivers receiving support from community-based hospice agencies. 25. Which of these statements from the article would be considered a recommendation for future studies? (Select all that apply) a. Significant relationships between the additional CGI subscale scores and perceived stress (PSS) score were not detected. b. Future studies of caregivers should compare caregivers who receive supportive services to those who do not. c.Future research should include longitudinal studies in order to measure changes in stress and self-efficacy over time. d. Because identification of factors that reduce negative outcomes is vital to the psychological and physical health of informal caregivers, researchers should study the influence of self- efficacy on caregivers providing care to patients with diverse health conditions.
