: The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was designed, planned and conducted following Swedish law – namely, the Swedish Code of Statutes (Ethical Review of Research Involving Humans -SFS 2003:460), which states that ethical approval is not needed when people are invited to participate voluntarily. All participants received written information about the study, including a statement that participation was voluntary. They were assured of confidentiality and informed of their right to withdraw from the study at any time without providing a reason. Informed consent was considered obtained when a completed questionnaire was returned. This study collected data at the departmental level, and no sensitive personal information – such as gender, year of birth or similar identifiers – was gathered.
