Note(s): Gender, education, married status, paramedics status, nightshift work status are categorical variables, and others are continuous variables. Chi-square tests, Mann Whitney z test, Kruskall Wallis test, and Spearman rho were performed as appropriate because the continuous variables were not normally distributed. *Significant at p < 0.05, **significant at p < 0.001
