Declarations

:

: This study received an ethical waiver from the medical ethics review committee of the Amsterdam Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, under dossier number W20_176.All participants consented to participation in the data collection by providing oral informed consent. Ethical approval was waived for this study, given that participants were not subjected to any interventions and/or were forced into any specific behaviors or modes of operation. A formal audit by the committee was therefore deemed unnecessary; no other considerations were provided to the researchers. However, as researchers we are to comply with the ruling research codes and general research integrity practices. That is why we undertook several actions to protect the anonymity of our respondents, for example by not using the names of interviewed specialists, but assigning each specialist a number and storing the audio-taped information (including the oral informed consent) in a secure place.
