Multilevel modeling of a clustered continuous outcome: Nurses' work hours and burnout
Article Abstract:
The two types of multilevel models, the random intercept model and the random coefficient model, are introduced to describe the correlation among observations within a cluster, and to demonstrate how to identify the superior model. It is concluded that the multilevel models provide a more accurate and comprehensive description of relationships in clustered data by correcting underestimated standard errors, by estimating components of variance and by estimating cluster-specific intercepts and slopes.

Generating new knowledge from existing data
Article Abstract:
A range of methodological issues and practical application encountered by three nurse researchers was explored using secondary data analysis of three existing data sets as a means to ask new questions and generate new nursing knowledge. It was found that using existing large data sets offers nurse researchers a unique opportunity to ask and answer questions that can affect the way the nurses care for patients in time-effective and efficient manner.
