2. Removal of Questionnaire Items from Table 2

What the error was:

In the originally published version of the article, Table 2 in the “Results” section inadvertently reproduced the verbatim text of individual items from the copyright-protected psychometric scale.

What the correct version should be:

To ensure full compliance with third-party copyright restrictions and intellectual property requirements, the individual wording of the scale items has been removed from Table 2. In the corrected table, the items are designated solely by standardized item identifiers (e.g., Item 1, Item 2, etc.), accompanied by direct bibliographic citations to the original validated instrument.

Correct version of the Table 2 in “Results” section:

The Editorial Office, in agreement with the authors, publishes this Erratum to rectify two post-publication issues in the article
