Organizing Phase
In the next step, the first 2 authors (TH and ML) independently coded 5 randomly selected interviews, discussed their coding, and established a mutual agreement for the open coding. Following this agreement, they proceeded to analyze the remaining interviews. In the open coding process, notes and headings were written in the text while reading the interviews. The meaningful units were read and reread, and in the margins, as many headings as necessary were written to describe all aspects of the content. Discrepancies in coding were discussed until a consensus was reached. Meaningful units were then grouped under the respective headings. Each meaningful unit could be assigned to more than 1 code, and these codes were then organized and sorted on a coding sheet for further analysis. The codes were used to freely generate categories, which in turn were sorted and merged into fewer, more overarching categories. The first author maintained a log, in which the headings and ideas about relationships between categories were documented.Throughout the analysis, the interviews were read repeatedly to gain an overall understanding of the full picture, and there was a constant comparison between the parts of the analysis and the raw data from the completed interviews.During the abstraction phase, the structure and content of the categories and subcategories were discussed among all the authors.
