Declarations
:
: This study was performed in accordance with the checklist for qualitative research COREQ and followed the Helsinki Declaration. Ethical approval was obtained from SIKT – Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research (formerly known as The Norwegian Centre for Research Data) (Project No. 255238). The study was also assessed and approved by the local data protection officer at the hospitals as well as the head of the department of nursing of the University of South- Eastern Norway. Further ethical approval from the clinical ethical committee was deemed unnecessary due to national regulations described in the Norwegian Health Research Act (Helseforskningsloven, 2008, § 4) regarding research not considered to be medical or health research. The participants received both written and oral information about confidentiality and voluntary participation and informed consent was obtained from all the participants before the interviews were recorded.
