An
understanding of basic, and even some intermediate, statistics helps the online
master of science in nursing science degree student evaluate clinical research
for reliability and clinical applicability. A terrific resource to augment any text or
material from a graduate statistic course is :
Donnelly,
R.A. (2010). The complete idiot's guide to statistics. 2nd ed. New York, New York: The Penguin Group.
The
book explains in layman’s terms statistical principles, and when to apply them
with simple examples. At the very least
I recommend this book to use as a resource when evaluating research for use to
determine if a change in nursing practice is warranted.
