: Sylvana M.L. de Mik, Balou Rietveld, Annemarie Auwerda, Ron Balm and Dirk T. Ubbink have no conflicts of interest directly relevant to the content of this article.
: The Medical Ethics Review Committee of the Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, confirmed that the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act does not apply to our study as it only required participants to fill out one questionnaire, limited in size, and the questions asked were not likely to cause any harm to the participants’ psychological integrity. Participants could decide on their own whether they wanted to fill out the questionnaire or not. All obtained participant data was stored anonymously. Thus, the participants were at no risks of potential harms and time spend on the survey by participants was deemed acceptably limited.
