Approval for the execution of this study was granted by the University of Rwanda (Reference: CMHS/IRB/051/2024) and the Ethical Review Board of Kigali University Teaching Hospital (Reference: EC/CHUK/011/2024). Upon arrival at the research location, the researcher interacted with participants within their respective departments to clarify the aims of the study. Prior to filling out the questionnaire, informed consent was sought from participants, and they confirmed their participation in the study by signing on a consent form given to them. Any questions or concerns raised by the participants were addressed prior to obtaining their consent. To maintain the anonymity and confidentiality of the participants, unique codes were assigned to the questionnaires, thereby avoiding the use of personal names. The filled questionnaires were securely stored in a locked box, and the researcher was the only person with access to a password-protected computer where digital versions were kept.
