Nursing is a growing area of higher education, in which an introduction to statistics is an essential component. 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 in journals such as the Lancet and British Medical Journal.

* Is user-friendly - avoids excessive jargon
* Includes relevant examples for nurses, including case studies and data sets
* Provides information on further reading
* Starts from first principles and progresses step by step
* Includes 'advice on' sections for all of the tests described

Practical Statistics for Nursing and Health Care

The book is very useful as an introduction to applications of statistics principles in health care. It is an entry level guide to statistics and discusses most of the topics usually covered in more depth in two semesters of college level statistics courses. There are some very practical "rules of thumb" which serve as useful shortcuts to the more complicated math calculations and which illustrate complicated concepts very well. The editors missed a few minor typos.
