Statistical data play a vital role in advancing nursing practice, education, research, and healthcare management by supporting evidence-based decision-making and improving patient outcomes. They enable nurses and healthcare professionals to collect, analyze, and interpret health information for effective clinical practice, quality improvement, and policy development. Statistical data also contribute to nursing research, educational evaluation, workforce planning, and healthcare administration through systematic analysis of health-related information. The integration of digital technologies, health informatics, and statistical software has further enhanced the utilization of healthcare data for informed decision-making. Therefore, statistical literacy is an essential competency for nurses to deliver safe, effective, and high-quality patient-centered care in the modern healthcare environment.
