reliability data require at least two coders, or pre-defined classification schemes. the schemes were based on RNs competence description. a limitation using a pre-defined scheme is that contextual factors might be omitted and that more supportive rather than non-supportive data are reported. however, by using their backgrounds as RNs, the research group acknowledged these risks when designing the schemes, and the group agreed on the coding. data could also be confirmed by the interviewed RNs describing similar situations form their different contexts, and the naratives contained plenty of recurrent patterns: repeated experiences from their work as RNs in home nursing.
