TL12: Statisticians in Academic Nursing Programs

Music City Center 

This roundtable discussion will focus on the role of statisticians in academic nursing, emphasizing both education and research collaboration. Nursing education requires strong statistical training to support evidence-based practice, while nursing research depends on advanced statistical methods such as psychometrics, clinical trials, and health outcomes analysis. Discussion topics will include curriculum development, effective pedagogical strategies, and assessment methods to enhance statistical literacy among graduate nursing students. Key nursing research applications, including statistical modeling and measurement, will be discussed, along with strategies for addressing common statistical challenges in nursing science. This session aims to provide statisticians and nursing educators with insights into improving statistical education and fostering interdisciplinary research collaboration.
