Declarations

:

: This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. We have obtained ethical approval (Protocol No. Ethics/khaled7/2022) from the Institutional Ethical Review Board of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Daffodil International University, Dhaka-1216, Bangladesh. Informed consent to participate was obtained from all of the participants in the study. Participants were provided with detailed information on the aims, method of data collection, and sharing and usage policies, as well as potential risks and benefits. Based on these aspects, we followed strict protocols to ensure data protection. All interviews conducted via Zoom/WhatsApp were audio-recorded only with consent, and files were immediately transferred to encrypted, password-protected storage. No identifying information (such as names, locations, or personal contact details) was collected or retained during or after the interviews. Any inadvertent identifiers that appeared in conversations were removed during transcription. Only the core research team had access to the anonymised transcripts, and data were stored securely in compliance with institutional ethical approval.
