Declarations
:
: All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. The study was approved by the Norwegian Centre for Research Data (2018/61309 and 489776) and is exempted from ethical approval from the Norwegian Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics since no health information or patient data is registered. Informed consent was obtained from all the participants involved in the study and the students were informed about the right to withdraw from the study at any time. The students were made aware that participation or non-participation would not affect other aspects of their placement period or give them any advantages or disadvantages during their education programme. To ensure confidentiality, any identifying information about participants such as names and location was removed from the interview transcripts. In addition, numbered identifiers were randomly assigned to each of the participants and their focus group designation (e.g. P1, FGA stands for participant 1, focus group A). To protect the anonymity of the participants and the educational institutions, participant characteristics are not elaborated in the paper.
