There is currently a gap in the market for a 'user-friendly' book which is contextulised and targeted for nursing. Practical Statistics for Nursing and Health Care introduces statistical techniques in such a way that readers will easily grasp the fundamentals to enable them to gain the confidence and understanding to perform their own analysis. It also provides sufficient advice in areas such as clinical trials and epidemiology to enable the reader to critically appraise work published 606 $aMedical statistics 606 $aNursing$xResearch$xStatistical methods 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMedical statistics. 615 0$aNursing$xResearch$xStatistical methods. 676 $a610/.21 700 $aFowler$b Jim$f1943-$0926365 701 $aJarvis$b Phil$0733620 701 $aChevannes$b Mel$0821415 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463440203321 996 $aPractical statistics for nursing and health care$92079951 997 $aUNINA
