extracting meaning units from the transcripts and sorting them into codes (e.g. being calm and steady), and code groups (e.g. managing emotion); (3) condensing the meaning within each code group; (4) summarizing the content into meaningful descriptions (Malterud, 2011, 2012). Two simplified examples of the analytic approach are illustrated in Table 1. All authors read the tran- scripts, and the first author conducted all steps of the analysis and discussed the interpretations with the second and third author during the process. The first author's background as mental health nurse with knowledge and experience within the field has influenced the process of collecting and interpreting data. The final descriptions were devel- oped and refined over time, and transcripts were read repeatedly during this hermeneutical process (moving back and forth between data and the literature)to ensure that the constructed descriptions were grounded in the empirical data
