The dataset I chose for the mock study is The General Social Survey (GSS) Data Explorer website. To examine the effects of violence against nurses by patients and/or by patients' families. Look at whether a hospital setting, medical office, or clinic impacts the type of violence or recovery time nurses return to caring for patients.Choi et al. (2023) stated that nurses may find it challenging to attend work, notice changes in their colleague relationships, and even develop a fear of patients. To also examine if the sex of nurses has the same effect on workplace violence.Keely (2002) stated that statistics have demonstrated that, for both male and female nurses, significantly increased numbers of lost-time claims are the direct result of violence, which can lead to an overall decrease in job performance and lead to legal implications for the institution.

Variables:

Independent Variable 1:Gender of the nurses

Independent Variable 2:type of facility

Dependent Variable:Recovery time

Research Question:How do the type of violence by patients and/or patients' families, the type of healthcare facility, and the gender of nurses impact the recovery time in returning to work and caring for future patients?

Null Hypothesis (H0):

There is no significant interaction between the nurses' gender, the type of facility, and the recovery time in returning to work and caring for future patients.

Alternative Hypothesis (H1):

Significant interaction exists between the gender of the nurses, the type of facility, and the recovery time in returning to work and caring for future patients.

Assignment

Review the above and explain why you think the variables are in line with the research questions, null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
