Declarations
:
: The study was carried out according to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of the Rostock University Hospital, reference number A 2019–0086; May 2019.Informed consent to participate in the study was obtained verbally during the first lecture. Participants received all information necessary to make an informed decision about their participation, including the purpose of the study, procedures, risks, benefits, and their rights as participants. Participation in the study was completely voluntary for all students. All data utilized were strictly pseudonymized, ensuring that the identity of individual participants remained confidential and protected throughout the research process. Given the nature and scope of our research, we determined that written consent would be impractical, primarily due to logistical constraints and the nature of data collection. Moreover, our assessment concluded that the research involves minimal risk to participants. The study neither involves sensitive personal data nor does it pose any psychological, social, or physical risks to the individuals involved.
