Statistical Analysis
The Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences version 15.0 (SPSS
Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) for Windows (Microsoft) was used for the data
analysis. The data obtained in the study were given as mean ± standard
deviation (SD). Sociodemographic and diagnostic variables were shown in
both numbers and percentages. The Student t-test was used for comparing
two independent groups with normal distribution, One-way ANOVA (Analysis
of Variance) for comparing more than two independent groups, and the
Mann Whitney U test was used to compare two independent groups for
variables without normal distribution. The relationship between
categorical variables was tested by chi-square analysis. Ap -value of less than 0.05 was accepted as statistically
significant.
