Table 1. Correlation Test between Age and Gender

Variable Contingency Significance Value Interpretation Decision to Null
Coefficient Hypothesis
Age * Ward 0.180 0.766 Not significant Accept
Table 1 shows the correlation test between age of the patients and their ward assignment. It can be seen
from the table that there is no significant relationship between these variables reflective of the
contingency coefficient value of 0.180 with the corresponding probability value of 0.766 which is greater
than alpha 0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship between
age and the ward assignment is now accepted. These finding is similar to the study of Caballes, 2009
where he considered …. (relate to literature)

Table 2. Correlation Test between Age and Ward

Variable Contingency Significance Value Interpretation Decision to Null
Coefficient Hypothesis
Age * Ward 0.670 0.224 Not significant Accept
Table 2 shows the correlation test between age of the patients and their ward assignment. It can be seen
from the table that there is no significant relationship between these variables reflective of the
contingency coefficient value of 0.670 with the corresponding probability value of 0.224 which is greater
than alpha 0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship between
age and the ward assignment is now accepted. These finding is similar to the study of Caballes, 2009
where he considered …. (relate to literature)

Table 3. Correlation Test between Age and Educational Attainment

Variable Contingency Significance Value Interpretation Decision to Null
Coefficient Hypothesis
Age * Educational Not significant Accept
0.408 0.202
Attainment
Table 3 shows the correlation test between age of the patients and their educational attainment. It can
be referred from the table that there is no significant relationship between these variables reflective of
the contingency coefficient value of 0.408 with the corresponding probability value of 0.202 which is
greater than alpha 0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship
between age and educational attainment is now accepted. These finding is similar to the study of
Caballes, 2009 where he considered …. (relate to literature)

Table 4. Correlation Test between Age and Employment Status

Variable Contingency Significance Value Interpretation Decision to Null
Coefficient Hypothesis
Age * Employment Significant
0.700 0.04 Reject
Status
Table 4 shows the correlation test between age of the patients and their employment status. It can be
seen from the table that there is a significant relationship between these variables reflective of the
contingency coefficient value of 0.700 with the corresponding probability value of 0.004 which is less
than alpha 0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship between
age and the employment status is now rejected. These finding is similar to the study of Caballes, 2009
where he considered …. (relate to literature)

Table 5. Correlation Test between Gender and Ward

Variable Contingency Significance Interpretation Decision to Null
Coefficient Value Hypothesis
Gender * Ward 0.316 0.879 Not significant Accept
Table 5 shows the correlation test between gender of patients and their ward assignment. It can be seen
from the table that there is no significant relationship between these variables reflective of the
contingency coefficient value of 0.316 with the corresponding probability value of 0.879 which is greater
than alpha 0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship between
gender and the ward assignment is now accepted. These finding is similar to the study of Caballes, 2009
where he considered …. (relate to literature)

Table 6. Correlation Test between Gender and Educational Attainment

Variable Contingency Significance Value Interpretation Decision to Null
Coefficient Hypothesis
Gender *
Educational 0.196 0.424 Not significant Accept
Attainment
Table 6 shows the correlation test between gender of patients and their ward educational attainment. It
can be seen from the table that there is no significant relationship between these variables reflective of
the contingency coefficient value of 0.196 with the corresponding probability value of 0.424 which is
greater than alpha 0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship
between gender and educational attainment is now accepted. These finding is similar to the study of
Caballes, 2009 where he considered …. (relate to literature)

Table 7. Correlation Test between Gender and Employment Status

Variable Contingency Significance Value Interpretation Decision to Null
Coefficient Hypothesis
Gender *
Employment 0.147 0.837 Not significant Accept
Status
Table 7 shows the correlation test between gender of patients and employment status. It can be seen
from the table that there is no significant relationship between these variables reflective of the
contingency coefficient value of 0.147 with the corresponding probability value of 0.837 which is greater
than alpha 0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship between
gender and employment status is now accepted. These finding is similar to the study of Caballes, 2009
where he considered …. (relate to literature)

Table 8. Correlation Test between Ward and Employment Status

Variable Contingency Significance Value Interpretation Decision to Null
Coefficient Hypothesis
Ward *
Employment 0.614 0.470 Not significant Accept
Status
Table 8 shows the correlation test between ward assignment and employment status. It can be seen from
the table that there is no significant relationship between these variables reflective of the contingency
coefficient value of 0.614 with the corresponding probability value of 0.470 which is greater than alpha
0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship between
employment status and the ward assignment is now accepted. These finding is similar to the study of
Caballes, 2009 where he considered …. (relate to literature)

Table 9. Correlation Test between Ward and Educational Attainment

Variable Contingency Significance Value Interpretation Decision to Null
Coefficient Hypothesis
Ward *
Educational 0.389 0.724 Not significant Accept
Attainment
Table 9 shows the correlation test between ward assignment and educational attainment. It can be seen
from the table that there is no significant relationship between these variables reflective of the
contingency coefficient value of 0.389 with the corresponding probability value of 0.724 which is greater
than alpha 0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship between
ward assignment and educational attainment is now accepted. These finding is similar to the study of
Caballes, 2009 where he considered …. (relate to literature)

Table 10 shows the correlation test between educational attainment and employment status. It can be
seen from the table that there is no significant relationship between these variables reflective of the
contingency coefficient value of 0.626 with the corresponding probability value of 0.006 which is slightly
greater than alpha 0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship
between educational attainment and employment status is now accepted. These finding is similar to the
