Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This unique textbook integrates statistical concepts into evidence-based clinical practice and patient management. Research concepts and techniques are drawn from epidemiology, bio-statistics, and psychometrics, as well as educational and social science research. Clinical examples throughout the text illustrate practical and scientifically sound applications of the concepts. Data tables and research vignettes highlight statistical distributions involving probability. Methods to locate and utilize web-based information relevant to clinical research are discussed, and web URLs are provided. Further learning is encouraged by the inclusion of suggested activities, recommended readings, references, and a comprehensive glossary of research terms. Additional resources are available at a Connection Website, connection.LWW.com/go/stommel.

Book News Annotation:

Intended for graduate nursing students preparing for advanced clinical practice roles as mid-level providers, this textbook describes the design and analysis of experimental and observational studies, alternative methods for evaluating the effects of an intervention, tools for measuring outcomes and collecting data. To help nurses interpret research findings and provide patients with the best advice, it defines the vocabulary of the research process and reviews articles recently published in journals.
