: The ethical approval for the study was acquired from the Research Ethics Committee of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (IR. SUMS.REC1402.250). All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations or the Declaration of Helsinki. Participants were given detailed information about the study’s goals before interviews were conducted, and their signed informed consent was obtained before any interviews were recorded. The anonymity of the participants, their responses, and the use of aliases or codes in quotations were guaranteed. Participation in the research was entirely voluntary and would not interfere with their academic progress, and they were given the option to drop out at any time. Both the interview and encoding data were encrypted before being saved to a personal hard drive for long-term storage. We promised to do so if a participant wanted to see the findings as a group.
