Yes ,the researcher has mentioned about the data analysis in under the heading statistical method.
Descriptive statistics were used to describe the sample and the study measures. Univariate analysis of variance was used to compare differences between the intervention and control group at 3 months post-intervention, adjusting for baseline leakage, age, sex and functional status. The alpha level was set at P < 0.05. Analyses were also carried out separately among women and men. In the intervention group, multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify predictors including age, gender, and functional status related to toilet habits dichotomized into need all help versus self-reliant or need some help for the outcome of change in leakage as measured by 24PWT. SPSS software (v 17.0; SPSS, Inc, Chicago, IL) was used for the analyses.
