The results from this study should be interpreted with caution as only 15 out of 168 potential nurses were included. There is a risk for bias when individuals volunteer to partic- ipate in a study; they may constitute a discontented group.35 RNs in municipality home nursing settings are in general older than RNs on average,36 which contributed to rich sources of professional experiences. Interviews give a deeper understand- ing, as they can provide information from past experiences. The inter- viewer’s pre-knowledge of the RNs’ working situation was valuable as their stories were understood; this might, however, have affected the interview questions and the inter- pretation, as naïve questions werenot posed. Reliability data require at least two coders, or pre-defined clas- sification schemes.20 The schemes were based on RNs’ competence description.21 A limitation using a pre-defined scheme is that contex- tual factors might be omitted and that more supportive rather than non-supportive data are reported.20 However, by using their back- grounds 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 inter- viewed RNs describing similar situa- tions from their different contexts, and the narratives contained plenty of recurrent patterns: repeated experiences from their work as RNs in home nursing.35 The results of this study can, with some caution, be transferred to other home nursing settings in Sweden. All municipalities offer home nursing services regulated by the same legislation.7,8 RNs work under the same competency descrip- tion, including the nursing process, and legal requirements.21
