Give students the review and practice they need to critically appraise the statistical methods used in published research! Statistics for Nursing Research, 4th Edition helps readers understand and interpret statistical methods, sampling and measurement techniques, and statistical analysis techniques. This unique and practical workbook is divided into two parts to differentiate between basic and advanced statistical methods, with dozens of hands-on exercises that help students practice the statistical methods needed to build an evidence-based practice. An ideal companion to a nursing research textbook, this workbook is an indispensable resource for any nursing student or practicing nurse wishing to gain competency in understanding or conducting statistical analyses.
-
- NEW! More than half of the research articles in Part 1 are new, ensuring that exercises are based on the most current clinically applicable published studies. Any articles older than 2015-2016 have been replaced, and exercises have been revised to match.
- NEW! Enhanced interactive online functionality of the Questions for Further Application (formerly Questions to Be Graded) for each chapter allows students to save their work and complete the exercises at a later time before submission for grading.
- NEW! Enhanced emphasis on diversity and inclusion features representation of diverse authors and research foci in selected published articles.
- NEW! Two new exercises are added to this edition: a unique Handling Missing Data exercise and a Calculating the Mann-Whitney U Test exercise.
- NEW! VST eBook version of this title is a fully interactive eBook for the first time with this edition.
- NEW! Supplemental video tutorials by Dr. Cipher on the Evolve website provide valuable reinforcement that is especially helpful for visual and auditory learners.
- Comprehensive coverage of basic statistical methods includes extensive practice with the most common techniques of sampling, measurement, and statistical analysis seen in nursing and health sciences literature.
- Literature-based approach uses key excerpts from published studies to reinforce learning through practical application.
- 38 sampling, measurement, and statistical analysis exercises provide a practical review of both basic and advanced statistical techniques.
- Study Questions in each chapter help students examine a statistical technique and apply concepts to an actual literature appraisal.
- Online submission of answers for Questions for Further Application allows students to complete exercises in a web-based format and then submit completed exercises to faculty via email for grading.
- Consistent format for all chapters enhances learning and enables quick review.
