Title: Observing Data and Statistics in a Coffee Shop

Introduction

Data and statistics are fundamental tools used in healthcare to inform patient care decisions, clinical practice, and research. In the field of nursing, understanding data and statistics is essential to guide clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes. This paper presents an observational study conducted in a coffee shop, aimed at identifying data and statistics. The objective was to learn how to collect and analyze data and identify how this skill can translate into patient care.

Observation Study

The observation study was conducted at a coffee shop in the neighborhood. The study involved collecting data every 15 minutes for a total of eight observations, which included the following categories:

1. Noise level (measured on an interval scale)

3. Number of people present (measured on a ratio scale)
4. Number of staff (measured on a ratio scale)
5. Facial expressions on customers (measured on an ordinal scale)
6. Facial expressions on staff (measured on an ordinal scale)
7. Number of laptops and tablets (measured on a ratio scale)
8. Number of perceived business meetings (measured on a ratio scale)
9. Sitting alone vs. 2 or more (measured on a nominal scale)

The findings from the observations are presented in Table 1 below.
