Declarations
:
: The study was documented in compliance with current data processing and privacy regulations, approved by the Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research (Reference 789014). This study was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of UiT the Arctic University of Norway. All procedures were performed in accordance with relevant institutional guidelines and regulations, and the study adhered to the ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. Ethical considerations were carefully undertaken to ensure that potential concerns, such as the burden of exposing students to challenging scenarios (e.g., triggering personal experiences), were addressed responsibly. It was concluded that this did not constitute an ethical issue, as appropriate approaches were implemented to safeguard the well-being of the students. Participants were thoroughly informed about the study’s purpose, their anonymity, and their right to withdraw at any time without consequence. Participation was entirely voluntary, and written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Transcripts were anonymised and reviewed for accuracy to ensure confidentiality.
