Sammanfattning
«You can prove anything with statistics
» is a well-known expression,
and this might be true if the
methods are not properly used
and/or the results are not reviewed
critically. This demands
knowledge about statistical methodology
and practice in critically
analysis. However, it is not
only the researcher that needs
this kind of knowledge but also
professionals in clinical practice
who will be informed about
results from the research and put
it in to practice. To use the results
from research studies in a correct
way in the nursing care the knowledge
must first be evaluated by
e.g. the studies limitations and
validity. This article aimed at present
a selection of possible methodology
problems related to
caring sciences.
