Results: Out of 784 participants, 45.5% (356) were female, 54.1% (424) were male, and 0.4% (4) chose not to specify their gender. Regarding age distribution, 85.7% (672) of participants were aged of <40, 14.3% (112) were aged >40. Out of the participants in the questionnaire, 297 individuals (37.9%) are employed as healthcare professionals, while 487 individuals (62.1%) belong to other occupational groups. Additionally, among the participants, 28 participants (3.6%) who are elementary school graduates, 112 participants (14.3%) who are high school graduates, 587 participants (74.9%) who hold a university degree, and 51 individuals (6.5%) who have completed postgraduate or doctoral-level education.
