Different facts or information pieces can be established concerning quantitative statistical analysis. First, multivariate statistical procedures are increasingly leveraged in nursing research to investigate various associations among variables. Second, data entry constitutes an error-prone procedure that warrants data cleaning and verification. Third, clinical significance is the practical value of the research findings based on their applicability to patients and health management. Fourth, it is crucial to address missing data when conducting intention-to-treat analyses. Lastly, causal modeling entails creating and evaluating hypothesized causal rationale for a phenomenon (Polit & Beck, 2017).
