Furthermore the contribution of both one academic and five non-academic hospitals (multi-centre and a case mix of patients) and the adequate number of participants at a difficult time willing to share information on a sensitive subject contribute to the validity of the results. Another strength is that through the structured telephone interviews with open questions, the relatives were allowed to elucidate positive and negative aspects on the treatment satisfaction. Since all interviews were conducted by one researcher continuity is assured, however, it may also cause interpretation bias which can be seen as a limitation. Another limitation might be that the researcher wrote down the answers during the telephone interview and might not have managed to capture all the details, instead of when the conversations were audio recorded.","divisions":[{"label":"title","span":{"begin":0,"end":25}}],"tracks":[]}
