    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Research Methodology
    • Biostatistics
    • Quantitative Research

    Background:

    • Repeated measures designs are crucial for nursing research, capturing changes within subjects over time.
    • Pretreatment and posttreatment observations are common in clinical nursing studies.
    • Selecting the appropriate statistical test is vital for valid research findings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To guide nursing researchers in selecting appropriate statistical tests for repeated measures data.
    • To compare parametric and nonparametric approaches for analyzing pretreatment and posttreatment observations.
    • To provide practical steps for computing these statistical tests.

    Main Methods:

    • Discussion of a parametric statistical test suitable for repeated measures.
    • Explanation of a nonparametric counterpart for situations where parametric assumptions are not met.
    • Detailed procedural steps for calculating both types of statistics.

    Main Results:

    • Guidance on the appropriate application of parametric versus nonparametric tests based on data characteristics.
    • Clear instructions for performing the statistical analyses.
    • Enhanced understanding of analyzing change over time in nursing studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Appropriate statistical test selection enhances the validity of nursing research findings.
    • Understanding both parametric and nonparametric repeated measures tests is essential for nurse researchers.
    • This article serves as a practical resource for conducting rigorous nursing studies.
