Context: This study investigated the uses of statistical techniques in nursing research articles (RAs) published within 2016 - 2020. Evidence Acquisition: Through stratified random sampling, 374 quantitative and mixed-method RAs were selected from five nursing journals (i.e., International Journal of Nursing Studies, Journal of Nursing Scholarship, Nurse Education Today, Nursing Outlook, and Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing) published within 2016 - 2020. The statistical techniques used in these articles were derived, aggregated, and listed. Results: Descriptive statistics (20.59%) and multiple regression (15.74%) were the most frequent statistics used in the nursing RAs. Regarding the level of statistics, 49.83%, 17.00%, and 4.31% of the techniques were basic, intermediate, and advanced, respectively, indicating that basic statistical techniques are by far the most frequently used techniques in nursing RAs. The findings also revealed that students with basic and intermediate knowle...

Purpose: To examine statistical methods in psychological research in the British Journal of Health Psychology and British Journal of Clinical Psychology. To compare standards of reporting of statistics with the medical literature. Background: The main statistical methods that we use today arose primarily in agricultural research. Psychologists were swift to realise the usefulness of inferential statistics, and the methods were adopted, and adapted where necessary. Psychologists have been responsible for many advances in statistical thinking (for example, much of psychometrics, which has been adopted by medical research). However, other disciplines may be considered to be closer to current statistical thinking. Failure to follow best practice occurs in the reporting of statistical analysis of psychological research. Methods: All articles published in 2003 in the British Journal of Health Psychology (volume 8), and the British Journal of Clinical Psychology (volume 42), were statistically reviewed, and errors and potential improvements noted. Conclusions: A range of improvements could have been made to a number of papers. These include appropriate use and labelling of graphs, inappropriate description of statistical techniques (principal components analysis/factor analysis), failure to report appropriate output (e.g. lack of confidence intervals), and failure to give exact p-values. Comparison is made with the medical literature.

This is a quantitative research aimed to assess the relationship between nursing aptitude test and academic performance of nursing students in a selected nursing institute of New Delhi. The purpose of this research was to find out the significant association between nursing aptitude test and academic performance including its benefit to the students. Objectives of the study are to evaluate the nursing aptitude score of students during GNM entrance exams, to evaluate the academic performance of GNM students, to assess the relationship between aptitude test and academic performance, to assess the relationship between nursing aptitude test of GNM students with selected demographic variables like age, stream and medium of instruction in school. A semi-experimental research designed was used, which was conducted on 46 GNM IInd year student nurses studying at Apollo School of Nursing of New Delhi, and subjects were selected by enumerative sampling technique. It was found that there is a p...

A working understanding of the major fundamentals of statistical analysis is required to incorporate the findings of empirical research into nursing practice. The primary focus of this article is to describe common statistical terms, present some common statistical tests, and explain the interpretation of results from inferential statistics in nursing research. An overview of major concepts in statistics, including the distinction between parametric and nonparametric statistics, different types of data, and the interpretation of statistical significance, is reviewed. Examples of some of the most common statistical techniques used in nursing research, such as the Student independent t test, analysis of variance, and regression, are also discussed. Nursing knowledge based on empirical research plays a fundamental role in the development of evidence-based nursing practice. The ability to interpret and use quantitative findings from nursing research is an essential skill for advanced practice nurses to ensure provision of the best care possible for our patients.
