Declarations
:
: The researchers first considered respecting participants’ rights and protecting their health and rights under the guidance of the principles outlined in the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. This study strictly adheres to ethical principles. The Ethics Committee of Semnan University of Medical Sciences approved the research (IR.SEMUMS.REC.1400.282). After obtaining permission from the hospital officials, the researchers initiated data collection. Since the current study was a cross-sectional study with the only risk of participants’ privacy, the researchers introduced themselves to the nurses when conducting the survey. They provided thorough explanations regarding the study objectives and methods, the confidentiality of the data, and the voluntary nature of participation. The nurses’ questions were also addressed, and written informed consent was obtained from them to participate in the study. The researchers distributed the questionnaires among the nurses and requested them to complete and return them in the presence of the researcher.
