Observations and several field notes as well as existing records, documents, and technical notes were other sources of data collection. After manuscript analysis, meaning units, codes, categories, and key themes were achieved. The strategies for results validation included triangulation of data collection sources and methods, continuous observations in the field, and supervision and review of the analysis process by research team.
