Ethics approval and consent to participate

: As the study is not a medical experiment (due to its survey-based nature) The Committee for Bioethics of the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland waived the need for ethics approval (KNW/0022/KB/40/18). Verbal informed consent was obtained from all participants according to the Act of 29 August 1997 concerning <i>Data Protection Regulation, Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland</i> []. Before the surveys were distributed, the subjects were asked if they agreed to fill in a survey. The students were also informed that anyone refusing to fill in the survey should notify the person distributing the surveys of their choice. All the students in the study gave their consent to the survey and all accepted the survey questionnaires from the person distributing them and then returned them to the person who was collecting them. The authors of this study do not have detailed documentation of the consent of the participants as this would have taken the form of refusals to participate in the questionnaire, when, in fact, all students willingly took part in the survey.
