Note: P < 0.05 meant a statistically significant difference; Knowledge: R2 = 0.108, F = 6.395, P <0.001; Attitude: R2 = 0.032, F = 0.927, P < 0.001; Practice: R2 = 0.099, F = 5.817, P < 0.001. Dummy variables were set for department [Pediatric Emergency Department (0,0), Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit (0,1), and Department of General Pediatrics (1,0)], job position [primary nurse (0,0), nursing manager (0,1), and nursing educator (1,0)], intravenous therapy training (0 for Yes, 1 for No), and nursing hierarchy [CN0 (0,0,0), CN1 (0,0,1), CN2 (0,1,0), and CN3 (1,0,0)]
