원서 : Statistics for Health Care Professionals

서문

보건의료 분야에서 통계학을 강의하면서 통계학 전공자가 아닌 보건의료 전공자가 통계학을 쉽게 잘 이해할 수 있도록 정리된 교재를 찾기가 쉽지 않았다. 우연한 기회에 ｢Statistics for Health Care Professionals｣를 접하고 내용을 살펴보면서 처음으로 통계학을 배우고자 하는 보건의료 전문가와 전공자들에게 통계의 개념을 설명해 주는데 적절한 교재로 판단하여 번역서를내기로 결정하였다. 번역서의 제목은 ｢보건의료 전문가를 위한 통계학｣으로 하였다.
｢보건의료 전문가를 위한 통계학｣은 보건의료 실무에서 통계학을 이해하기 위해 접근 가능한안내서이다. 문제를 조사하기 위한 양적 접근방법에 초점을 둔 이 책은 통계학의 기본적인 법칙과 원리를 소개하였다. 통계학은 이해하기 어렵고 사용하는데 복잡하다는 생각에 도전하면서 저자는 특정 통계 검정이 어떻게 실행되는가를 설명하기 위하여 각 절을 ‘어떻게(how to)’로 표현하는 것으로 시작한다. 이 점이 독자가 처음으로 문제에 다가갈 때 장애물이 되는 통계 언어를이해하는데 도움을 준다. 독자에게 수작업으로 통계량을 어떻게 계산하는지 설명하였을 뿐 아니라 좀 더 쉽게 통계를 처리하기 위한 컴퓨터 패키지를 소개하였다. 그리고 결과를 어떻게 분석하는지 설명하였다. 보건의료 연구의 결과는 의사결정과 전문직 내에서 새로운 실무를 발전시키는 데 필수적인 요소이기 때문에 이 책은 독자로 하여금 자료 분석과 연구 설계에 대하여 비평적으로 생각하도록 하였으며, 이러한 비평적 생각이 근거중심 실무에 어떻게 영향을 줄 수 있는가를 논의하였다. 비평적인 관점이 보건 산업 내에서 이슈가 된 많은 보고서와 문서를 평가하는데 있어 중요하다. ｢보건의료 전문가를 위한 통계학｣은 처음부터 끝까지 통계 기법에 대한 실제적인 예제를 포함하였으며, 각 장의 끝에 있는 연습문제는 독자에게 통계에 능숙하도록 도움을줄 것이다. 빠르고 쉽게 정보를 얻을 수 있도록 책의 마지막 부분에 용어 사전을 정리하였다.

이 책은 보건의료 분야에서 처음으로 통계학을 접하는 사람들이 필수적으로 읽어야 할 책이다.
