Eleven registered nurses (RN) and physiotherapists participated. They were purposefully selected as the most experienced in promoting motivation using a pedometer because they had been a part of the Teledi@log research right from the beginning, and totalled all health professionals participating in the Teledi@log trial. They were recruited from a University Hospital, a Regional Hospital and four Healthcare Centres. The interviews focused on health professionals’ experiences of using a pedometer as a motivational tool for activity. The interviews were based on a semi-structured guide inspired by SDT [33, 45] (Appendix 2) and notes from the PHR [43, 44]. The interviews lasted approximately 20–35 min and were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim.
