3.4 DATA COLLECTION
The data are the product of 11 semi-structured interviews and 4 focus
groups. Based on PRECEDE-PROCEED model and occupational stress
literature, a semi-structured interview guide was designed (See
Supplement 2). The average duration of interviews and focus groups was
60 minutes. Interviews and focus groups were recorded, and audio content
was transcribed on the same day. Data collection continued until
theoretical saturation was reached. In other words, when no new
information was found (Nascimento et al., 2018). One interview was
repeated due to the need to clarify and explain an issue.
All interviews and focus groups were conducted by the first author
(female/PhD of Science in Health Education and Health Promotion). To
ensure the clarity and simplicity of the interview guide questions and
to evaluate the interviewer’s ability, two interviews and a focus group
were conducted experimentally. However, the data were not included in
the results of the study. In order to establish credibility of the
interview, the initial semantic units were presented to the participants
for approval.
