Declarations

:

: This study was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Ethical approval for this study was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the University Hospital Tübingen (project number 142/2023B02). Written informed consent was collected from all interview participants. For participant observation, informed consent was obtained from the professionals being accompanied.

: Not applicable.

: During the preparation of this manuscript, generative AI tools were employed at several stages. aTrain was used for transcription of interview data. DeepL and ChatGPT supported the translation of data excerpts from German to English. ChatGPT was further used as a writing assistant to improve clarity, grammar, and style, and as an interpretive partner to simulate multidisciplinary group discussions during data analysis. No empirical data were shared with the AI; instead, the first author presented his own analytic considerations to this simulated group and used the responses to critically reflect on his reasoning, challenge his perspective, and generate new impulses. The authors reviewed and edited all AI-assisted content and take full responsibility for the final version of the manuscript.
