The table presents the chi-square analysis regarding the significant differences on the nurses level of concern along the indicated stages when grouped according to gender. With regards to awareness, the probability value obtained was 0.006 which is less than the significance level of 0.05. This means that the Null Hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference in the nurses level of concern on awareness when grouped according to gender is rejected. It implies that the nurses level of concern with respect to awareness when grouped according to gender differs significantly with each other. In terms of informational, personal, management, consequence, collaboration and refocusing, the probability values obtained based from the table are greater than the significance level of 0.05. This means that the Null Hypotheses are accepted. It implies that the nurses level of concern in these stages does not vary with respect to gender.

The table above presents the analysis of variance regarding the significant difference on the nurses level of concern across the different stages. As shown in the table, the p-value is 0.000 which is less than the significance level of 0.05. Hence, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference on the nurses level

of concern across the different stages is rejected. It means that

in terms of level of concern, a certain stage of concern is significantly higher than any of the other stages. Based on Tables 4.1 4.7, collaboration stage has significantly higher level of concern than any of the stages of concern.
