Opis

This book makes the task of interpreting statistical findings much more approachable and less daunting for those with little, or no, previous experience, and will provide a valuable reference for the more experienced researcher. I would recommend it to any student undertaking a Nursing Research module.
Conor Hamilton, Student Nurse, Queens University Belfast, UK
