: Initially, the data collection was an assignment from the top management team with the aim of collecting and describing the employees’ experiences. The collection of experiences aimed to provide an understanding of what really happened and learning in the organization for future implementations: an internal evaluation. At the last minute, when the interviews were already planned, the top management team also suggested a scientific study. Ethical approval from an ethical committee was considered, but there was no time to wait for approval. In addition, this study did not meet the criteria of the Swedish Ethical Review Authority on requirements for an approved ethics review. The study was approved by the region’s top management team for healthcare. Throughout the study, the ethical principles of the Swedish Research Council and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects were followed. Informed consent was obtained from the participants, and they were informed that participation was confidential and voluntary and that they could withdraw at any time during or after the interview. The respondents’ health and well-being were important, and several of them highlighted that the interview made them feel better when they were able to talk about their experiences and someone listened.
