Statistical analysis for a capstone project

by | Aug 30, 2023 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

I am currently working on my Capstone project “Oral Health Promotion to Improve the Quality of Life in Older Adults Living Independently “ I already have the research proposal, the pre and post-intervention data, and the questionnaire used. I’m looking for statistical data analysis services for my project.

I think I will need the following for my research:

1. Explanation on how would you approach analyzing the data from my study

2. The analysis must show what appropriate statistical methods and software do you plan to use to analyze my data and research question

3. What are the strengths and limitations of the statistical analysis used in this study

4. What are the potential implications and recommendations based on the statistical findings

5. An interpretation / explanation of the statistical findings

6. The analysis must include statistical graphs and/or tables

The purpose of the research study “Oral Health Promotion to Improve the Quality of Life in Older Adults Living Independently” is to examine the relationship between oral health and quality of life. The general objectives of the study are to analyze the impact of an oral health education program on adult individuals who live independently; to determine the presence of tooth decay, plaque, or mouth diseases; to motivate people to take care of their oral health; and to assess the participant’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to oral health. Participation in this study is voluntary and if the participant does not feel comfortable with the questions or information and decide not to continue being part of the study, the participant can leave the project at any time, without any retaliation or penalty.

Next you will find 15 questions related to the topic in this study that will help us gather data regarding your oral health knowledge and overall oral health. In each question, please choose only one answer.

Oral health promotion to improve the quality of life in older adults living independently

Oral health diseases are the most neglected in healthcare organizations, affecting almost 3.5 billion people worldwide. They are not highly discussed for all age groups, but when it comes to older people, they need more care. Most of the problems are related to dentistry, but older adults, especially those who live independently, are highly prone to the disorders. Older adults do not have the strong immunity to face the different diseases. Oral diseases are common because of the decayed tooth and dental carriers. The project will discuss the problem in detail (Allin, 2020).

Older adults need the care of their families to face the different issues. The research and practice problem focuses on the oral health problems of older adults who lack family care and live independently. They have different experiences in self-care and dental issues. Sometimes, the older adults are neglected because they do not have enough money to go to a dentist or physician to treat their diseases or suffer from other diseases, so they ignore the oral health disorders. The topic of oral health will have huge scope in the future (Li, 2021).

The process of empowering people to exert more control over and improve their health is known as health promotion. It shifts away from an emphasis on personal conduct and toward the various societal and environmental interventions. Broad research has been studied to determine the importance of oral health and increase awareness of its significance to the general population. Poor oral health can lead to pain, eating and speaking difficulties, and poor self-esteem (Li & Yao, 2021). It can also have a negative effect on general health, contributing to heart disease, stroke, pneumonia, and other health complications.

Oral health promotion involves the various activities, including education, policy development, and community-based initiatives. Current statistics demonstrates that over 78% of the elderly population experience issues with oral health (Janto et al., 2022). It shows that oral health is among the highly overlooked conditions in healthcare. It is not highly discussed for all age groups, but when it comes to older people, they need more care. Most of the issues are related to dentistry, but older adults, especially those who live independently, are highly
