보건의료 전문가를 위한 통계학

Statistics for Health Care Professionals



보건의료 분야에서 통계학을 강의하면서 통계학 전공자가 아닌 보건의료 전공자가 통계학을 쉽게 잘 이해할 수 있도록 정리된 교
재를 찾기가 쉽지 않았다. 우연한 기회에 ｢Statistics for Health Care Professionals｣를 접하고 내용을 살펴보면서 처음으로 통
계학을 배우고자 하는 보건의료 전문가와 전공자들에게 통계의 개념을 설명해 주는데 적절한 교재로 판단하여 번역서를내기로 결
정하였다. 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 복잡하
다는 생각에 도전하면서 저자는 특정 통계 검정이 어떻게 실행되는가를 설명하기 위하여 각 절을 ‘어떻게(how to)’로 표현하
는 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 비
평적 생각이 근거중심 실무에 어떻게 영향을 줄 수 있는가를 논의하였다. 비평적인 관점이 보건 산업 내에서 이슈가 된 많은 보
고서와 문서를 평가하는데 있어 중요하다. ｢보건의료 전문가를 위한 통계학｣은 처음부터 끝까지 통계 기법에 대한 실제적인 예제
를 포함하였으며, 각 장의 끝에 있는 연습문제는 독자에게 통계에 능숙하도록 도움을줄 것이다. 빠르고 쉽게 정보를 얻을 수 있
도록 책의 마지막 부분에 용어 사전을 정리하였다.



이 책은 보건의료 분야에서 처음으로 통계학을 접하는 사람들이 필수적으로 읽어야 할 책이다.
이 책이 나오기까지 도움을 준 모든 분께 감사드리며, 이 책이 출판될 수 있도록 애써 주신군자출판사의 관계자 여러분께도 감사
드립니다.
