Following an evaluation of the psychometric properties, the questionnaire was made available in an electronic format on the EUSurvey platform between August and October 2024. The data was analyzed between November 2023 and March 2024 using the statistical software packages SPSS and R.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Participants and research context:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A simple random sample of nurses working in level II and level III intensive care units in Portugal.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Ethical considerations:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Research ethical approvals were obtained, and the participants provided informed consent.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Findings\/results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Four hundred and fourteen valid questionnaires were obtained.
