Declarations

:

: In accordance with the regulations of the local ethics committee (Ethical Committee at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Leipzig), with reference to the responsible Medical Association’s professional code of conduct (Professional Code Medical Association of Saxony, § 15 Research), an explicit ethical approval was not necessary for studies not infringing the participants’ physical or mental integrity, collecting personally identifiable information or processing DNA material (like e.g. anonymous evaluations in educational context) at the time the research project was planned and carried out. As this study was completely anonymous and data did not allow any conclusions to be drawn to individuals, an explicit approval by our local ethics committee was thus deemed unnecessary. Students were informed about the study’s background and anonymity of the data, and that participation was completely voluntary. Returning the questionnaires was interpreted as consent to take part.
