Patients who are civil servants have good or very good knowledge higher than the group of patients who are workers, farmers, and pensioners 2.083 times (OR=2.083, p<0.001; CI: 1.05-4.46). Patients living in the urban had 3.73 times better knowledge than patients in rural areas (OR=3.73; p<0.001; CI: 1.74-6.67).
