How to Conduct ANOVA in Nursing Research?

Conducting ANOVA involves several steps:
1. Formulate the Hypothesis: State the null hypothesis (no difference in means) and the alternative hypothesis (at least one mean is different).
2. Collect Data: Gather the necessary data from clinical trials, patient records, or surveys.
3. Check Assumptions: Ensure that the data meets the assumptions of ANOVA, such as normality, homogeneity of variances, and independence.
4. Run the ANOVA Test: Use statistical software like SPSS, R, or SAS to perform the ANOVA test.
5. Interpret Results: If the p-value is less than the significance level (usually 0.05), reject the null hypothesis.
