Question

A nurse is running a program for older adults where they are addressing issues related to health (awareness and prevention). The nurse wants to determine if age is as related to preventative health care.  Age variable was asked to older adults and its mean was 68. Preventative health care was assessed with a standardized Likert-scale instrument and provides a total score for knowledge and attitudes of preventative health care ranging between 1 and 50. The results of the correlation analysis were r=.560, p<.05. Please interpret the finding from a correlation analysis based on the scenario. What would be your conclusion? (A too short answer (e.g. it is significant) may not receive any points. Please offer meaningful interpretation)

Explanation / Answer

Hypothesis to be tested is if the age is related to the preventative health care.

Since the p-value < 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and we conclude that the age is related to the preventive health care.
