DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION

• According to Polit and Hunglar (1995), “Data

analysis enable the researcher to reduce,
summarize organize, evaluate interpret and
communicate numerical information. Without the
aid of statistics, the quantitative data collected in a
research project would be little more than a chaotic
mass of numbers.”
 OBJECTIVES

prick injury and its prevention among staff nurses
working at Dhamtari Christian Hospital Dhamtari
(C.G.).

regarding needle prick injuries and its prevention
with the socio demographic variables
• To provide information regarding needle prick injury
through Pamphlets

Table 4.13- Depicts that chi square analysis to find out the association between the knowledge score
• For Age:- The table reveals that there is no significant association between the level
of knowledge of subject and their age at 0.05 level of significance with 9 degree of
freedom. The calculated chi square value (13.57) is smaller than the table value of
chi square (16.9), hence the hypothesis H1 is rejected.
• For Sex:- The table reveals that there is no significant association between the level
of knowledge of subject and their sex at 0.05 level of significance with 9 degree of
freedom. The calculated chi square value (0.2) is smaller than the table value of chi
square (7.81), hence the hypothesis H1 is rejected.
• For marital status, The table reveals that there is significant association between the
level of knowledge of subject and their marital status at 0.05 level of significance
with 9 degree of freedom. The calculated chi square value (110.31) is greater than
the table value of chi square (16.9), hence the hypothesis H1 is accepted.
• For type of family, The table reveals that there is significant association between the
level of knowledge of subject and their type of family at 0.05 level of significance
with 9 degree of freedom. The calculated chi square value (99.1) is greater than the
table value of chi square (12.59), hence the hypothesis H1 is accepted
For religion, The table reveals that there is significant association between the level of
knowledge of subject and their religion at 0.05 level of significance with 9 degree of
freedom. The calculated chi square value (55.10) is greater than the table value of
chi square (16.9), hence the hypothesis H1 is accepted.
• For training institute, The table reveals that there is no significant association
between the level of knowledge of subject and their training institute at 0.05 level of
significance with 9 degree of freedom. The calculated chi square value (8.46) is
smaller than the table value of chi square (12.59), hence the hypothesis H 1 is rejected.
• For educational qualification, The table reveals that there is no significant association
between the level of knowledge of subject and their educational qualification at 0.05
level of significance with 9 degree of freedom. The calculated chi square value (8.34)
is smaller than the table value of chi square (16.91), hence the hypothesis H 1 is
rejected.
• For monthly income, The table reveals that there is no significant association
between the level of knowledge of subject and their monthly income at 0.05 level of
significance with 9 degree of freedom. The calculated chi square value (6.025) is
smaller than the table value of chi square (16.91), hence the hypothesis H 1 is rejected.
• For working experience, The table reveals that there is no significant association
between the level of knowledge of subject and their working experience at 0.05 level
of significance with 9 degree of freedom. The calculated chi square value (15.33) is
smaller than the table value of chi square (16.91), hence the hypothesis H 1 is rejected.
• For received any additional programme and knowledge The table reveals that there
is significant association between the levels of knowledge of subject and received any
additional information at 0.05 level of significance with 9 degree of freedom. The
calculated chi square value (22.77) is greater than the table value of chi square
 Summary:-
• The chapter was organised under 3 Section. They
are socio-demographic variables with frequency
and percentage, area wise analysis of knowledge
score. Overall analysis of knowledge score, In chi
square, for p value more than> 0.05 type of family
and received any additional program and
knowledge is significant which shows research
hypothesis sis accepted and for age, sex, marital
status, religion, training institution, educational
qualification, monthly income, working experience
is not significant which shows research hypothesis is
rejected.
