Among Health Beliefs, Self-Efficacy, and Exercise Adherence in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease developed Pearson Product-Moment correlations through the creation of a correlation matrix generated for all the noted variables
listed in Table III. The variables included: type of surgery, severity, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy and activity. The Pearsons r is utilized to report data that is
"measured on an interval or ratio scale of measurement" (Jackson, 2008, p. 151). The following are the correlated variable pairs and
their corresponding Pearsons r and p values for the study by Robertson and Kellers (1992, p. 60): * Activity and benefits had a positive correlational relationship (r=0.229,
p = 0.016). * Activity and self-efficacy had a positive correlational relationship (r=0.352, p = 0.005). * Activity and barriers had a significant negative relationship (r=-0.390, p =
0.005). * Activity was positively correlated with severity, but was not statistically significant (r=0.063, p =>0.05). * Activity was positively correlated with type of surgery (r=0.306, p =
0.014). * The relationship between the type of surgery and activity was positively significant, with those with CABG demonstrating greater activity levels than those with PTCA (r=0.306, p =
0.014). * Perceived benefits had a high positive correlation with barriers (r=-0.699, p=0.001). * Benefits was correlated negatively with barriers (r=-0.699, p 0.001). * Self-efficacy and barriers were
showed a slight negative (nonsignificant) correlation (r=-0.090, p =0.530). * Severity was negatively correlated with barriers (r=-0.259, p = 0.034). * Types of surgery were negatively correlated with
barriers (r=-0.149). These statements corresponded with the table provided by the researchers on page 61 of the research study. References Jackson, S. (2008). Research
