2.3. Data Analysis

The conventional content analysis approach proposed by Graneheim and Lundman [29] was used for the data analysis. The unit of analysis was considered to be each whole interview. Accordingly, each interview was immediately transcribed word by word in the Microsoft Office word and its transcript was frequently read for immersion in the data. Then, words and sentences related to the study aim were determined and coded. The generated codes were grouped into subcategories according to their similarities. Meanwhile, the subcategories were compared and grouped into larger categories. MAXQDA software 10 (VERBI Software GmbH, Berlin, Germany)was used for the data management.
