NURS 851 ANALYSIS FOR EXPERIMENTAL NURSING RESEARCH DESIGNS

This course is designed to be taken concurrently with NURS 850: Experimental Nursing Research Designs and provides the theoretical and practical knowledge to conduct analyses of experimental data. The course focuses on: 1) the identification and uses of appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics; 2) the acquisition of data manipulation skills necessary to conduct experimental and interventional research; and 3) the development of analytical writing and data summary skills. Hypothesis testing with various levels of measurement, and inferential statistics will be examined. The relationships between design and analysis are revealed through the development of an analytical plan. The procedures for compiling data, developing a research file, and documenting the file are specified. Analytic techniques address descriptive statistics, measures of association, ANOVA, and simple regression.
