Statistics and Data Analysis for Nursing Research 2e

Denise F. Polit, PdD

Users praised the accessibility, clarity, and user-friendliness of the first edition of Statistics and Data Analysis for Nursing Research. Now, the push for evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing and health care makes this new edition timely. The style and practical emphasis of the first edition have been retained, but important innovations have also been introduced, making it even easier to embark on a professional pathway that includes statistical analysis. As in the first edition, the content includes descriptive statistics, bivariate inferential statistics, and many widely-used multivariate statistics. It assumes virtually no prior knowledge of statistics.

NEW TO THIS EDITION

  • Emphasis on evidence-based practice
- SPSS Version 16.0 was used to generate output for the book

- Missing Values are demystified

- Factor Analysis content is expanded

- Power Analysis methods are explained
