This subject contains the basic training in scientific methodology and biostatistics of the degree. Nurses, whenpracticing their profession, face a set of situations-problems that put their abilities to the test (selection ofinformation, organization of reasoning, distinction between the fundamental and the accessory, statisticalinterpretation of health problems, etc.)
The purpose is to structure a critical and thoughtful thinking that allows the critical reading of research in healthsciences and the analysis of health problems using statistics to promote a practice nurse of excellence.
The subject raises the basic knowledge and skills to apply in the accomplishment of the degree's final project.
Below is a brief description of the subject:
The different learning methodologies make up both the theoretical content and the skills corresponding to a reflective-critical thinking in problem solving.
Nursing interventions will be analyzed from original articles in the field of nursing care and the decision making will be established based on the critical reading of them.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The subject is presented in two evaluation blocks: scientific methodology and biostatistics with different evaluation activities. All written assessment activities use objective tests (items from multiple choice, wide-ranging essay test, restricted-choice essay test) and oral evaluation (structured test - analysis of an original article) are mandatory, in case of not submitting will be grade as Non- Evaluable (NE) and will be quantified as zero (0).
The qualification of each block of knowledge of the subject (scientific methodology and biostatistics) is the weighted average of the different evaluation activities of each block, taking into account that: 1) the minimum mark for the evaluation tests, except the objective ones, must be equal to or greater than 5; 2) The objective evaluation tests will be weighted independently of the mark.
The final grade for the subject is the weighted average of the two blocks of knowledge (scientific methodology and biostatistics), as long as the grade for each of these is equal to or greater than 4. In cases where one of the grades for one of the blocks of the subject is less than 4, the resulting numerical grade will be the weighted average grade whenever it is less than 5, or it will be set at 4.3 whenever the weighted average is greater than 5.
Definition of NOT EVALUABLE (NE): In each block of knowledge, both scientific methodology and biostatistics, it will be understood by Non evaluable (NE) that situation in which the student is NOT present to 50% or more than the evaluation activities. Likewise, having a NE in one of the blocks will be a NE throughout the whole subject.
Tests Review: All students have the right to review the evaluation tests by appointment with the teacher. The revision will consist of an individual tutoring where the student will be given the feedback in relation to his evaluation.
The treatmentof possible individual cases will be carried out through a teaching committee (formed by the coordinator of the subject, and 2 of the professors of the same, 1 of each department involved) where the situation will be evaluated particular of the student and the most appropriate decisions will be taken.
Students who have not passed the subject through continuous assessment may submit to a retake exam as long as the student has been assessed for the two thirds of the total grade of the subject. This retake exam will include the entire block of knowledge failed.
