Declarations

:

: This research has made every effort to adhere to and address ethical considerations. Before initiating data collection, study approval was obtained from the corresponding author’s affiliated institution. All experimental protocols were approved (Code: 3631108- FY 2020–2021) by the Research Cell of Gopalganj Science and Technology University in Bangladesh. While the institutions did not have an ethical review board, we adhered to the ethical principles established for human participants under the Helsinki Declaration (as revised in 2013) throughout the research. As a result, we ensured that the identities and privacy of the study participants were protected throughout the entire data-obtaining collection procedure. In addition, verbal and written informed consent was obtained from all the participants before the interview. Meanwhile, all study participants were permitted to withdraw from the research at any point without facing any negative consequences. To protect the participants’ privacy and safety, their responses were encoded with unique numbers, and their actual names were replaced with fictitious ones. Additionally, we utilized a password-protected Google Drive storage system restricted to the researchers to secure data storage.
