The sample was selected using a ‘purposeful’ approach, selecting ‘key’ experts, and using saturation criteria and in-depth interviews with 50 people. Therefore, the number of participants in the study was determined according to theoretical saturation. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data and they were continued until theoretical saturation was obtained.
