Data for: R you ready? Using the R programme for statistical analysis and graphics

Supplementary files for the "R you ready? Using the R programme for statistical analysis and graphics" consist of an R script and data needed to run the CFA analysis presented in the article. We wish to propose that the use of R should become more widespread in nursing research and in this article we offer: an overview of the capabilities of R; some examples of its application in our own work; and one practical example with the concomitant R coding in order that others interested in this specific method may use that coding and use our example as an exercise.
