Data were analyzed using a directed approach to qualitative content analysis [20], in QSR International’s NVivo 11 Software. The HBM key constructs were used for the analysis (see Table Table1).1). MA and TG analyzed the transcripts independently, compared outcomes and discussed inconsistencies. All authors discussed the results critically in frequent debriefing sessions and the study was also subjected to peer scrutiny and an audit trail. The Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative studies (COREQ) was adhered to [21].
