Declarations

:

: The authors state that all relevant ethical guidelines and principles were carefully considered in the preparation of this scientific article. The conduct of the research, as well as data collection, analysis, and interpretation, was performed in strict adherence to ethical standards to ensure that potential impacts on humans and the environment were minimized. Owing to the fact that in Germany no formal approval by an ethics committee is required prior to conducting a scientific study, no such statement exists. The authors further state that prior to the quantitative survey, all participants were comprehensively informed about the objectives and purpose of the study and about the persons responsible for conducting the survey. They were also provided with detailed information regarding the secure and compliant handling of their data in accordance with data protection regulations. Participation was entirely voluntary, and participants had the right to withdraw at any time without any consequences. Participant privacy and confidentiality were always respected, and appropriate measures were taken to maintain anonymity.
