The BGW is responsible for the health concerns of the target group investigated in the present study, namely nurses. Prof. Dr. A. Nienhaus is head of the Department for Occupational Medicine, Hazardous Substances and Health Science of the BGW and co-author of this publication. All other authors declare to have no potential conflict of interest. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
