Learning outcomes

The course is aimed at enabling the student to:
- estimate accuracy and precision of measurements performed in the biomedical field;
- properly synthetize and summarize the information collected on a series of patients;
- compute the probability of a single event or several events
- understand how to generalize findings from samples to the original population
- critically appraise scientific literature dealing with Nursing, and understand and correctly implement guidelines.

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, odds ratio – Study design: cross-sectional, cohort and case-control studies.

Examination Methods

The written examination will consist of about 25 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.
