Study participants were 12 professional nurses, a chief division of nursing quality development and standard, 3 head nurses, and 3 statistical and research consultants. In-depth interviews with tape-recordings, observation and field notes were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using content analysis of van Manen’s method.
