Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a tool to support learning of statistical analysis for clinical nurses. The users can experience the thinking process in statistical analysis, which consists descriptive analysis, univariate analysis, multivariate analysis. We examined the effect of this tool on learning statistical analysis when using in the program for learning clinical research. As results, test score about statistical analysis was not significantly improved by using this tool. However, the proportion of participants who completed the lecture of statistical analysis was increased compared to those without using this tool. Therefore, it was suggested that this tool can enhance the effect on learning of statistical analysis by reducing the feeling of difficulty for learning it.
