1. One Research question for the quantitative data analysis: What is the relationship between depression, anxiety, emotional intelligence, sleep quality, and diabetes management self-efficacy in Korean pregnant women with gestational diabetes?
2. To answer this research question, the researchers likely collected data on depression, anxiety, emotional intelligence, sleep quality, and diabetes management self-efficacy from a sample of Korean pregnant women with gestational diabetes. They may have used surveys or questionnaires to collect the data. They would then analyze the data using descriptive statistics to summarize the characteristics of the sample and correlational analyses to explore the relationships between the variables of interest. The results of the analysis may help healthcare professionals better understand how these psychological and behavioral factors are related to diabetes management self-efficacy in this population and inform the development of interventions to improve diabetes management. The dataset provided in the link is the likely source of the data for this study. https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/KIRXHR Diabetes management self-efficacy in GDM (3).xlsx Diabetes management self-efficacy in GDM (3).xlsx
3. Dependent and explanatory variables: Dependent variable: Body Mass Index (BMI) (continuous variable) Explanatory variable 1: Physical activity level (categorical variable with three levels: low, moderate, high) Explanatory variable 2: Age (continuous variable) The researchers may use regression analysis to examine the relationship between physical activity level, age, and BMI. Physical activity level is a categorical variable that is divided into low, moderate, and high levels, while age is measured on a continuous scale.

THE ABOVE IS CHECKPOINT 1

BASED ON CHECKPOINT 1 ANSWER

LAB CHECKPOINT 2 PROJECT:

1. Descriptive table (think of Table 1 in a manuscript):

This table should include the descriptive statistics for all the variables involved in your project(i.e., means and standard deviation/frequency and proportion, depending on the type of variable). ???

1. Depending on the type of variable, create appropriate plots to show the distribution of each variable involved in your project.???
