Quantitative Data Analysis with SPSS

''The text is a welcome addition for nursing students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level research. Having reviewed the text I can only inform you how a student described a chapter in the book recently when she borrowed it. 'The language is clear and unambiguous'. I will be strongly encouraging students to either purchase the text ... with the purpose of giving them a foundation in statistics.''

The data from these questionnaires is given to you for analysis, and the book leads you through the process required to analyse this data.
