| Content | • A lecture-seminar-exercise format will be used, with 30-60 minute lectures, 60 minute seminars and 60 minute exercises. • Introduction to common statistical analysis such as exploratory data analysis, applied regression analysis, and common psychometric analyses explored with examples from health and nursing sciences. • Development, execution and documentation of a statistical analysis. • Implement robust processes for conducting and reporting the analysis. • Practical training in R programming and analytical techniques. |
| Learning objectives | Statistics is ubiquitous in medical and nursing research. Clinicians and nurse researchers need to understand basic statistical concepts, be able to interpret statistical results and conduct basic statistical analyses themselves. The course "Statistics II: Reporting analysis " is the second part of a course to learn statistics and to apply it in the statistical programming language R. The second part of this series focusses on planning and conducting analyses in health research. The course will provide students the basis to understand and apply basic statistical techniques in the context of nursing research. With the successful completion of the course students will be able to: 1. Understand basic concepts of statistics 2. Developing and applying a basic analytical plan 3. Implement statistical reporting for research papers 4. Apply principles of reproducible research |
