How to Improve Statistical Power in Nursing Studies?
Several strategies can be employed to enhance statistical power in nursing research:
Increase Sample Size: Larger sample sizes can significantly impact power. Researchers should aim for an adequate sample size based on power analysis. Reduce Variability: Controlling for external variables and improving measurement precision can help reduce data variability. Increase Effect Size: Choosing more sensitive measurement tools or more impactful interventions can help detect larger effect sizes. Adjust Significance Level: While maintaining ethical standards, adjusting the significance level can help balance the risk of Type I and Type II errors.
