Declarations

:

: The research methods were carried in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations and checked according to the STROBE checklist for cross-sectional research. The ethical approval was obtained from Jiangsu Nursing Association and the Ethical Committee of Women’s hospital of Nanjing Medical University (approval number: 2021-KY-025). Before participating in the study, all prospective participants were provided with an electronic informed consent form. The informed consent form was prominently placed at the beginning of the survey and offered two clear options: “Yes” and “No.“ Participants were required to select one of these options to indicate their willingness to participate or decline involvement in the study. Only those individuals who voluntarily chose “Yes” were directed to the subsequent questionnaire pages. Throughout the study, participants were continually empowered with the right to withdraw their consent at any point in time without facing any adverse consequences or negative repercussions.
