DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF
FINDINGS
Data analysis is the process of organizing and synthesizing data in such a way
that research question can be answered and tested.
This chapter deals with the data analysis and interpretation of the data
collected through structured knowledge questionnaire. Analysis and interpretation of
data obtained from structured knowledge questionnaire regarding prevention and
management of perineal tear during normal delivery. Then the findings were printed
in different graphs and tables of percentage.
Analysis defined as the “categorizing” ordering manipulating & summarizing
of data to obtain access to research questions. The purpose of analysis is to reduce
data to on intelligible & interpretable form, so that the relation of research problem
can be studied and tested.
This chapter presents the analysis and interpretation of the data collected to
assess the knowledge of staff nurses regarding prevention and management of
perineal tear during normal delivery at selected Hospitals of Lucknow. The data was
analyzed based on the following objectives.
