Ethical approval

: At the time the study was undertaken, there was no official ethics committee. Since it is crucial that ethical reviews occur before the start of every research, retrospective approval for completed studies like this study is not practicable. To ensure the safety of participants and the validity of the study, the research, nevertheless, complies with accepted ethical standards. Potential conflicts of interest were handled openly, and data management protocols respected anonymity.

: Before engaging in the study, participants were informed about the objectives of the study by the interviewer. Furthermore, they were assured that any data they contributed would remain confidential and exclusively used only for the study. Transparency was emphasized in conveying that the study’s results and findings would be disseminated in a published format. As a critical component of ethical research practice, participants were requested to give their informed consent prior to their active involvement in the study.
