“…One reported a statistically significant ( P < 0.019) greater reduction in Hot Flush Rating Scale scores in the intervention group at 18 weeks of follow-up, 33 whereas the other reported a nonstatistically significant greater increase in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Endocrine Symptoms in the intervention group at 12 weeks of follow-up 31 . The single-arm pre-post study also reported a statistically significant ( P < 0.001) reduction in vasomotor symptoms after 12 weeks of intervention usage 36 . Similarly, the pilot single-arm study reported a statistically significant ( P < 0.001) reduction in Hot Flush Rating Scale scores among intervention users, at 10 weeks of follow-up 30 .…”

Potential effects of virtual interventions for menopause management: a systematic review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Importance: Menopausal women are one of the fastest growing demographic groups globally. Virtual interventions have emerged as alternate avenues for menopausal women to manage and cope with their symptoms.Objective: The purpose of this review is to summarize existing research on the potential effects of virtual interventions for menopause management.Evidence Review: This systematic review was written in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. MEDLINE, PsychINFO, CINAHL, AgeLine, ERIC, ProQuest, Nursing and Allied Health Database, PsychARTICLES, and Sociology Database were used for literature search and searched from conception to December 2021. Original studies, including randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies, were included if they evaluated a virtual intervention for menopause management and investigated the effects of these interventions on physical and psychosocial outcomes and/or the feasibility of these interventions among menopausal women. Included studies were published in peer-reviewed journals and assessed for quality using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program Checklists.Findings: A total of 16 articles were included in this review. Virtual interventions have the potential to improve physical health outcomes including body weight/body mass index/waist circumference, pain, blood pressure, and cholesterol. However, conflicting results were identified for the outcomes of vasomotor and endocrine symptoms, sleep, and sexual functioning. Virtual interventions might also improve psychosocial outcomes, including knowledge and patient-physician communication, although conflicting results were again identified for treatment decision-making ability, quality of life, and anxiety and depression. Virtual interventions were feasible in terms of being usable and costeffective, and eliciting satisfaction and compliance among menopausal women.Conclusions and Relevance: Virtual interventions might have the potential to improve the physical and psychosocial health outcomes of menopausal women, although some conflicting findings arose. Future studies should focus on including diverse menopausal women and ethnic minorities, conducting research within low-to middle-income countries and communities, further exploring intervention design to incorporate features that are age and culture sensitive, and conducting full randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effects of the interventions.

“…Comparisons between fellows and athletes not receiving a fellowship were made using the Student t-test for parametric variables and Wilcoxon T-test for nonparametric variables. Research [49] was focused on the recruitment and retention of women in Type 2 Diabetes Women Health Program, and to assess the program's initial effectiveness in improving well-being. A 12-week wellness event enrolled 70 middle-aged women with type 2 diabetes.…”

Daily, researcher faces the need to compare two or more observation groups obtained under different conditions in order to confirm or argue against a scientific hypothesis. At this stage, it is necessary to choose the right method for statistical analysis. If the statistical prerequisites are not met, it is advisable to choose nonparametric analysis. Statistical analysis consists of two stages: estimating model parameters and testing statistical hypotheses. After that, the interpretation of the mathematical processing results in the context of the research object is mandatory. The article provides an overview of two groups of nonparametric tests: 1) to identify differences in indicator distribution; 2) to assess shift reliability in the values of the studied indicator. The first group includes: 1) Rosenbaum Q-test, which is used to assess the differences by the level of any quantified indicator between two unrelated samplings; 2) Mann-Whitney U-test, which is required to test the statistical homogeneity hypothesis of two unrelated samplings, i. e. to assess the differences by the level of any quantified indicator between two samplings. The second group includes sign G-test and Wilcoxon T-test intended to determine the shift reliability of the related samplings, for example, when measuring the indicator in the same group of subjects before and after some exposure. Examples are given; step-by-step application of each test is described. The first part of the article describes simple nonparametric methods. The second part describes nonparametric tests for testing hypotheses of distribution type (Pearson’s chi-squared test, Kolmogorov test) and nonparametric tests for testing hypotheses of sampling homogeneity (Pearson’s chi-squared test for testing sampling homogeneity, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test).
