The interpretation and application of statistical results demands a firm conceptual understanding of quantitative statistical techniques and the assumptions for their use but does not require the nurse leader to be an expert in calculating the various statistical tests. An understanding of the differences among statistical, practice, and clinical significance is essential for effective financial stewardship and safe patient care.
Data analysis is key for discovering credible findings from implementing nursing studies. We can discuss and draw conclusions about the meaning of the findings from the data analysis.
Share what you learned about descriptive analysis and inferential analysis; include something that you learned that was interesting to you and your thoughts on why data analysis is necessary for discovering credible findings for nursing.
Compare practical significance, clinical significance, and statistical significance; include which one is more meaningful to you when considering the application of findings to nursing practice.
