They were also M. Axelsson et al.378
asked to share their experiences of living with COPD and LTOT. The interview started with an open question:
“Can you tell me about an ordinary day?” This question was followed by probing questions such as: How do
you feel about that?, Could you tell more about?, How are you thinking about that?, Could you give an example?,
Could you explain this further?. Nine of the interviews took place in the informant’s home, one in a secluded
room at the hospital. The interviews lasted 60 - 90 minutes and were performed between June 2004 and
January 2005.
