Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The KUPA project was approved by the Regional Ethics Review Board in Lund (reference number: 2015/4). The study was guided by the research ethical principles for medical research [CitationRef removed] and conducted in accordance with the Swedish Ethical Review of Research Involving Humans Act [CitationRef removed] and the General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR] [CitationRef removed].Prior to the interviews, the staffs were given verbal and written information about the study so that they could make an autonomous decision whether to partake in the study. Written consent was obtained from participants. Participation was voluntary and could be terminated at any time without having to give a reason and without any consequences. To maintain the principle of non-maleficence, the staff were guaranteed confidentiality i.e. the data collected were encoded so that individuals cannot be identified. Codes replaced the staff personal data. Only the codes were used during the analysis, and the findings are reported on group level. The code lists are stored in locked cabinets apart from the questionnaire forms.
