The interpretation was validated by allowing several participants to read it to determine its correspondence with what they wanted to say and ensure fidelity and credibility in the analysis.9 A researcher with a PhD degree and vast research experience, and 10 members from the research group "Emergency and Disasters" from the Faculty of Nursing at Universidad de Antioquia revised the texts on the interpretation of the data. Additionally, suggestions and recommendations were made to improve the report and confirmability. Data were contrasted with the literature and the discussion. To contribute to the applicability and transferability of the study, the results were presented to different audiences. The study was conducted in Medellín, Colombia between December 2012 and March 2013, with approval from the ethics committee of the Faculty of Nursing at Universidad de Antioquia (Record. CEI-FE 2012-4). Regarding the participants, their autonomy, confidentiality, and freedom to participate was respected, as consigned in legal dispositions in effect for the relationship with people involved in studies of this nature.
