The validity of qualitative data was checked and confirmed through review by members, review by colleagues, and review by external observers, and the "reliability between two coders" method was used to calculate the reliability or consistency of the coding done.As a result of the analysis of the qualitative part, 320 open codes, 110 central codes and 16 categories were extracted.
