: Before starting the research, ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of a university’s Non-Interventional Clinical Research Ethics Committee (Approval date: April 11, 2024, Approval No: 79, Decision No: 112). This study was adhered to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (General Assembly of the World Medical Association, 2014). Verbal and written consent were obtained from the participants. Prior to filling out the survey forms, the purpose of the study was explained to the participants to ensure voluntary participation. Participants were provided with an “Informed Consent Form” and were asked to read it and sign it if they wished to voluntarily participate. They were informed that participation in the study was entirely voluntary, that they could withdraw from the study at any time, that their responses would be used solely for scientific purposes, and that their confidentiality would be maintained.
