: In this study, we used artificial intelligence tools, specifically GPT-4 developed by OpenAI, accessed through the OpenAI platform. The GPT-4-turbo version was employed for linguistic enhancement and data processing, providing guidance on the necessary transformations to adapt the data and suggesting which statistical analyses would be most appropriate to achieve the study’s objectives. We ensured that the use of the AI tool occurred under strict human supervision, guaranteeing the accuracy and integrity of the results.
