P value for the significance of the independent variable in the multivariate model. Dependent variable: Parent’s inflammatory bowel disease-knowledge inventory device score. Model assessment: Model 3 – df = 16, F = 4.440, P < 0.001. B: Unstandardised regression coefficient; SE: Standard error; Beta: Standardised regression coefficient; sec.: Secondary education.
