Declarations
:
: In Denmark, formal ethical approval is not necessary for studies that do not involve biomedical issues according to the National Committee on Health Research Ethics (ExternalRef removed). The study was approved by the Danish Data Protection Agency (ID no.: VD-2019-160). All methods in this study were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations in the Helsinki declaration [CitationRef removed]. Thereby, both oral and written informed consent was obtained from the managers and participants before the researchers participating in the oilcloth sessions and conducting the interviews. Anonymity was ascertained by assigning participants a code instead of using their names in the field notes. The researchers maintained a confidential file of identifiers tied to the participants’ background so that the interview data (recordings and transcripts) could be coded as a basis for in-depth analysis. Before conducting the interviews, all participants were informed about the aim of the study, they were assured that participation was voluntary, they were given the opportunity to withdraw and were informed that results would be anonymized. None of the participants declined participation on this basis. During the observations, we tried to ensure that we acted with respect to the participants at the oilcloth sessions. We acted on the basis of situational ethics by combining our knowledge of the current empirical context with intuition, sense, morality and responsibility [CitationRef removed].
