LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of the course the students will be competent to:
- Choose the appropriate method of statistical analysis
- Apply statistical tests in the context of nursing studies
GENERAL COMPETENCES
- Decision-making
- Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology
- Autonomy work
- Working in an interdisciplinary environment
- Project planning and management
- Production of new research ideas
The aim of the course is to enable students to deal and solve simple statistical problems, in a workplace with use of statistics, with theoretical origin and proofs of types and distributions of the most common and simple both descriptive and analytical statistics. The variability of biological characteristics expresses the common finding that all biomedical variables fluctuate. Therefore, the aim of the course is for the student to realize and take into account the context and consequences of variability.
