Throughout the research project, I went to great lengths to ensure that the studies would meet the quality criteria of qualitative studies. The credibility of the studies was established by using member checking; the transcripts were sent back to the participants to give them the opportunity to check and correct what they had said in the interview. The parts they deemed unsuitable were taken out of the transcripts and were not subjected to analysis. I aimed to meet the criteria of transferability by attempting to give a detailed description of the research context and the procedures. The dependability of the studies was ensured using the same semi-structured interview guide and mostly asking the same questions of the participants to avoid bias. Finally, the confirmability, or the neutrality of the study was established by the help of a co-coder, whose codes were compared with mine.
