In the article by Paukkonen et al., 1 Some of the values in Row 4 for high‐ and low‐activation patients were previously wrong. The correct Table 6 is shown below.
| High patient activation | Low patient activation | p‐Value b effect size c | p‐Value adjusted d | High versus low patient activation a | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factor | Mean (SD) | Mean (SD) | OR (95% CI) | p‐Value | ||
| Having energy and motivation | 3.7 (0.7) | 3.1 (0.8) | 0.001 0.674 | 0.028 | 5.39 (2.10–13.87) | <0.001 |
| Feeling sense of normality in own care | 3.7 (0.5) | 3.3 (0.5) | <0.001 0.724 | 0.004 | 3.50 (1.50–8.17) | 0.004 |
| Having no fear of complications and additional diseases | 2.3 (1.0) | 1.8 (0.8) | 0.029 0.443 | 0.340 | 3.84 (1.00–14.74) | 0.050 |
| Receiving support from physicians | 3.3 (0.6) | 2.9 (0.6) | 0.001 0.687 | 0.006 | 5.46 (2.15–13.87) | <0.001 |

Note: Statistical significance recognized as p < 0.050. Bold are statistically significant.
Abbreviation: SD, standard deviation.
a
Binary regression analysis with the dichotomous variable of self‐management perceptions: good (mean ≥ 3.5) versus others.
b
Used test is independent samples t‐tests.
c
Used test is Cohen's d with interpretation: 0.2 small, 0.50 medium, and 0.80 large.
d
