Table 2 Procedures for analysis according to Systematic Text Condensation [46, 47]

1. Total impression – from chaos to themes

Reading through the material to get a general impression of the whole. Looking for preliminary themes associated with the research question

2. Identifying and sorting meaning units – from themes to codes

Identifying meaning units, give them a code. A code is a label gathering connected meaning units into groups

3. Condensation – from code to meaning

The thematic code groups across individual participants constitute an analytical unit for further abstraction by condensation of content

4. Synthesizing – from condensation to descriptions and concepts

From the condensates, we develop credible narratives that can make a difference by providing descriptions and concepts that inform the study question
