The data was analyzed using the SPSS statistical software (version 22.0; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Categorical variables were succinctly presented as counts and percentages, while continuous variables were summarized using means and standard deviations (SDs). The Chi-square test was applied to compare categorical data, and the ANOVA was employed for numerical data. To gauge the effect size and ascertain the robustness of each statistical analysis, Cramer’s V was calculated for the chi-squared test, and η² for the ANOVA. Post-hoc analysis was implemented to assess differences between multiple groups, and a two-tailed p-value < 0.05 was considered indicative of statistical significance.
