Signed consent was required and obtained at the beginning of the whole research project, and later, participants were asked for consent again, and it was documented. The participants were informed that they could withdraw from the interview at any time for any reason. Confidentiality was assured by using identifiers instead of names (P01; P02; P03, etc.). Any identifying information from the transcripts was removed.
