Discussion
This study used a sequential mixed methods design
where the findings of one method (phase one
descriptive survey) not only informed the second
method but were elaborated on and expanded
in the second method (phase two focus group
interviews).21,22 This was helpful in this study as
the collection of diverse types of data provided an
understanding and fuller description ofthe research
phenomenon. The use of both open and closed
questions in the phase two FG interviews presented
a verbal literary picture of the survey data collected
in phase one thus providing convergence and
triangulation of data.
