Abstract:
Research-based articles in the nursing press have increased in number substantially, as indeed they have in other disciplines. While qualitative methods are more frequently use in nursing than some other areas (for example, medicine), the use of quantitative methods is common. It is noted that statistical errors and misunderstanding of statistical concepts are to be found in nursing journals. This paper analyses an academic nursing journal and comparisons are made with similar studies in medical journals.
