Declarations

:

: This study safeguards the ethical compliance of the research program in four areas: informed consent of participants, data confidentiality and privacy protection, potential risk assessment and management, and use of research data. First, we explained the purpose, process, risks, and benefits of the study verbally to all individuals participating in the study prior to the start of the interview and obtained their informed consent. Participants had the right to know that their participation was voluntary and that they could withdraw from the study at any time. Second, appropriate measures were taken to protect the privacy of participants’ personal information. We will not disclose or reveal any personal information that could lead to the identification of participants and will anonymize participant information in our reports. Third, we have assessed the potential risks that may be involved in the study at the project design stage and have taken appropriate measures to minimize these risks. We ensured that participants would not suffer any physical or psychological harm as a result of their participation in the study. Fourth, we will strictly observe the principles of legality and transparency in the use of data to ensure the proper use and interpretation of research data. We will avoid misinterpretation and misuse of the data as far as possible and use the data only for research purposes. For any further questions or concerns, please contact our corresponding author.
