| 1. Selecting dialogue partners (the sample)
|
Three participants were selected through purposive sampling. |
| 2. Silence (before entering a dialogue)
|
The researchers’ preconceived ideas and biases were deliberately put aside. |
| 3. Participating in a dialogue (Data collection)
|
The research team conducted two in-depth interviews with three participants. |
| 4. Sharpened awareness of words (data analysis)
|
We made the data analysis obtained from the three victims. |
| 5. Beginning consideration of essences (coding)
|
The two researchers repeatedly try to answer the question, “what are the essences each participant says?” |
| 6. Deconstruction of the text and constructing the essential structure of the phenomena from the cases (individual case construction)
|
The main factors of each case were highlighted using van Mannen’s lived existential framework, and the foremost essential factors were used to develop each case’s construction. |
| 7. Verifying each case construction with the relevant participant (verification)
|
This was carried out with each participant interviewed individually |
| 8. Constructing the essential structure of the phenomenon from all interviews (meta-synthesis of the interviews)
|
Two researchers participated in the data analysis and developed the common themes that emerged across all participants using cross-case analysis. |
| 9. Comparing the essential structure of the phenomena with the data (verification)
|
Multiple readings across each case interview were performed. |
| 10. Identifying the overriding themes that describe the phenomenon (construction of the central theme)
|
The category that emerges from the story of the victims was made using van Manen’s [16] existential analytical category and bioecological analysis of risk and protective factors. |
| 11. Verifying the essential structure with the participants (verification)
|
Due to language and time factors, the researchers could not verify the essential structure with participants. |
| 12. Writing up the finding (reconstruction)
|
Write up of the finding was made by two of the researchers. |
