Data analysis
The process of data analysis was recursive and dynamic and intensified
after data collection had ended (22). During observations and
semi-structured interviews, emerging analytical ideas and methodological
adjustments were noted in the logbook.
We coded the data, grouping codes into general categories and overall
themes thereby capturing recurrent patterns across the data
(12,22,23,24). In this process, we followed Kirk and found, for example,
that: ‘interprofessional obstacles’, ‘lack of time’, and ‘technical
issues’ emerged as themes indicating organizational barriers. At the
professional level, we identified the themes ‘low prioritization’,
‘meeting patients where they are’, and ‘reliance on HPs own
impressions´. We also found that HPs perceived ‘avoiding prejudices’ and
‘promoting equality’ as important professional values.
