Erratum: How to appraise quantitative research (Evidence-Based Nursing (2019) 21 (99-101) DOI: 10.1136/eb-2018-102996)

Correction: The previous version of this article contained an error. On page 2 the following text where p value of 0.5 is mentioned, this should read as 0.05 not 0.5. The corrected text is available below: Quantitative studies examine the relationship between variables, and the p value illustrates this objectively. 11 If the p value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected and the hypothesis is accepted and the study will say there is a significant difference. If the p value is more than 0.05, the null hypothesis is accepted then the hypothesis is rejected. The study will say there is no significant difference. As a general rule, a p value of less than 0.05 means, the hypothesis is accepted and if it is more than 0.05 the hypothesis is rejected. Similarly, in Table 1, occurences of p value 0.5 should read as 0.05. The original version of this article has been updated to reflect this change.
