Consequently, current study aimed to investigate the professionals’ expectations and experiences of the intervention. Focus group interviews (Krueger & Casey, 2015) with professionals before and after the intervention were conducted. The interviews were analysed by content analysis according to Burnard (1991). Result: The analyses of the interviews are under progress and will point out the professionals’ perceived advantages as well as barriers.
Applications to practice: The results strengthen the importance of involving and motivating the professionals when developing and implementing new interventions. (Less)
