The quantitative data obtained from the patients were summarized as mean and standard deviation or median, as well as minimum and maximum, and the qualitative data were summarized as numbers and percentages. The compatibility of the data with the normal distribution was evaluated with the Kolmogorov Smirnov test and the homogeneity of the variances was examined with the Levene test. The Independent Samples t-test and Mann Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. The IBM SPSS Statistics version 26.0 for Windows package program was used in the analyses. A P
