Paired t-test/ANOVA was used to find the P-values.
Statistically significant difference was seen between the total practice score of respondents and the students’ faculty (P = 0.001), the year of education (P = 0.037), the place of living (P = 0.001), and the age groups of students (P = 0.043). In contrast, none of the other variables show a statistically significant association with the knowledge score.
