Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The Regional Ethic Committee for Medical Research (REC Central) in Norway approved the study in May 2018, reference number: 2018/314. All nursing home directors at the requested nursing homes were informed about the study, and those who accepted participation, sent at written consent by email to the corresponding author. Information about the study was given on the first page of the survey questionnaire. Nursing staff did not write their name or birth date on the questionnaire, so consent was obtained when they completed and placed the questionnaire in the sealed collection boxes. They were informed that they could not withdraw their participation after the questionnaire was returned.
