A semi-structured interview was chosen as a research method to collect information for the study. All interviews were recorded using a digital recorder. Transcription began immediately after the interview and was completed within 2 weeks. Themes emerged during the transcription of the interviews using an iterative process and were constantly considered and revised until no new concepts occurred. The final combination of themes and sub themes were then shared and agreed with the co-author of this article.
