Program

INTRODUCTION
The role of Statistics in Health Professions.
DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
Different measurement scales – Statistical variables and their presentation through frequency distributions: one-entry or double-entry tables – Measures of central tendency: mean (arithmetic, geometric, weighted), median, mode, percentiles – Measures of dispersion: range, interquartile range, sum of squares, variance (mean square), standard deviation, variation coefficient.
PROBABILITY
Classic, frequentist, subjective interpretations of probability – Sum and product rules of probability – Independent and dependent events and conditional probability – Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of a diagnostic test – ROC curves – Bayes theorem and its application to differential diagnosis – Random variables – Theoretical probability distributions: normal distribution.
SAMPLING
Populations and samples - Common sampling designs – Sampling distribution of an estimator (sample mean).
STATISTICAL INFERENCE
Point and interval estimates: confidence interval – Logical structure of hypothesis testing: null and alternative hypotheses; acceptance and rejection regions; type I and type II error; power of a statistical test – Choice of statistical test.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Measures of disease frequency: prevalence, incidence – Measures of association: risk difference, relative risk, etiologic fraction, odds ratio – Study design: cross-sectional, cohort and case-control studies.

Didactic methods

The course will consist of frontal lessons in classroom and exercise on nursing problems. It is mandatory to attend at least 75% of the lessons. Students with a certified illness will be enabled to attend remotely by the zoom platform.

Learning assessment procedures

The written examination will consist of about 30 multiple choice questions with 5-8 possible answers, and one exercise of Statistical Inference on a simple data set. Some statistical questions will deal with an article dealing with Nursing, chosen by the teacher of Nursing. Wrong answers to the written examination will be orally discussed with the student.
If a new lockdown phase will be enacted, the exam modality will be modified accordingly, i.e. exams will be performed in rooms large enough to guarantee social separation, or exams will be administered using the web-platform Zoom.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The exam will evaluate not only the acquisition of statistical knowledge, but also the ability to adopt it critically to solve health problems. One point will be awarded for each correct answer, and zero points for incorrect or missing answers.
