Course Description

DNP 715 Health Statistics is designed for the future practice of graduates from Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs and other advanced health care providers. In this course, students develop advanced-level comprehension of statistics. In particular, this course emphasizes commonly encountered statistical models in research journals that health professionals encounter in evidence-based practice. This course teaches students the correct interpretation of statistical tests and models rather than the memorization of formulas and rules. As such, students learn the underlying logic of the statistical models employed. 

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the underlying logic of statistical models used in healthcare research and practice.
  • Correctly interpret statistical tests and models.
  • Understand statistical models used with continuous and interval-level outcome variables, which include t-tests, linear regression, analysis of variance, and some extensions of these models.
  • Understand statistical tests and models appropriate for categorical outcome variables, survival analysis, and measurement models emphasizing the reliability and validity of self-report and medical test data.
