Declarations
:
: Studies that include human beings are subjected to assessment and approval by the institutional review board of Al-Balqa Applied University, which granted ethical authorization for this study (26/3/2/790). Electronically, rather than in written form, the participants gave their informed permission to participate in the study. The researchers provided an explanation for the absence of written informed consent by stating that they made it abundantly apparent from the very beginning of the survey that participation in the study would only be permitted if the participants consented to finish the survey, which functioned as their written informed consent. There were no in-person interviews conducted; rather, a questionnaire for the survey was developed through the use of Google Forms. It was not necessary to obtain informed consent from a legal guardian or next of kin in order to participate in the research because participants were required to be at least 18 years old. The researchers provided a clear and concise explanation of the objectives of the investigation as well as the anticipated outcomes. It was made abundantly clear to the participants by the researchers that their participation was voluntary, and that they were free to decline or withdraw their participation in the study at any time. They were not required to provide a reason, nor were they subjected to any adverse consequences for doing so. Further, the researchers ensured the participants that their comments would be kept confidential by providing them with the assurance that they would stay anonymous.
