STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA

The data to be gathered in this study will be subjected to the following

statistical treatment:

FOR SPECIFIC QUESTION # 1:

The frequency of the each response will be determined on the number of the

respondents who will check in the particular item. The Demographic Profile of the

respondents will be determined by using the formula of percentage.

Where:

P = Percentage

F = Frequency

N = Total Number of Respondents

FOR SPECIFIC QUESTION # 2:

Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient is used to measure linear

association between two variables. It will determine if there is correlation between the

job satisfactions of nurses to the delivery of quality patient care using this formula:

Where:

N = number of samples

X = first variable

Y = second variable
FOR SPECIFIC QUESTION # 3:

Spearman correlation coefficient will be used to determine the extent of

relationship of the responses of the respondents coming from the 2 selected hospitals

from the least to the highest factors that can affect the job satisfaction of the nurses in

rendering quality care to patients, this formula will be used:

Where:

D2 = is the difference between the subject ranks of the two respondents

N = total number of variables

The result of the computed relationship between the two respondents will be

interpreted according to Pearson’s scale that varies from +1 to -1. It will base from the

following values.

0.0 = no correlation / negligible correlation

±1 = perfect correlation

±0.01 - ±0.25 = very low correlation

±0.26 - ±0.50 = moderately low correlation

±0.51 - ±0.75 = high correlation

±0.76 - ±0.99 = very high correlation

FOR SPECIFIC QUESTION # 4:

The Chi-square test of Independence is used in analyzing two variables with

multiple categories. The observed frequencies will be determine on the number of the

respondents who will check in the particular item. To determine the possible ways that

can enhance the delivery of quality patient care based on their job satisfaction this

formula will be used:

Where: With: df = (r-1) (c-1)

O = observed frequencies Where:
E = expected frequencies r = number of rows
K = number of categories c = number of columns

The following table will help in the computation of the expected frequencies:
