This formal approval is certified by the signatures of the respective college leaders and the official institutional seals. The introduction of the questionnaire outlines the research objectives, the scope of information collection, and assurances of data confidentiality. Participants were required to read the questionnaire introduction and then complete a written informed consent form. Based on this, the research poses minimal ethical risks.
