The normality of the data obtained in the study was tested with Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests; since the data did not show normal as a result of the test, Mann-Whitney U Test was used for pairwise comparisons and Kruskal-Wallis Analysis of Variance was used for multiple comparisons. In cases where a significant difference was found as a result of Kruskal-Wallis Analysis of Variance in multiple comparisons, Mann-Whitney U Test was applied to determine between which groups this difference originated.
