The development of Statistics for Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing would not have been possible without the support, encouragement, and contributions of many individuals. We extend our sincere gratitude to our colleagues, students, and fellow educators who provided valuable feedback, insights, and inspiration throughout this process. Special thanks to Dr. Susan Kossman and Dr. Robert Lynch, who were instrumental in the development of the first edition. And to the MSN students at Illinois State University, we remain in your debt for your feedback on early drafts of the text.

We are especially grateful to our families for their patience and unwavering support as we dedicated time to writing and refining this and previous editions.

We also wish to acknowledge the editorial and production teams whose expertise and dedication helped shape this book into a useful resource for nursing students and professionals. Your commitment to excellence has been invaluable.

Finally, we thank the nursing community—educators, researchers, and practitioners—who continue to engage with this text and apply its lessons to improve patient care through evidence-based practice. Your passion and dedication to the field inspire us every day.
