Intersubjective validation analysis. The blue arrows show the iterative process. The analysis starts with an independent codification of a part of the total research sample by each researcher. Phases 2 and 3 show the agreement of the formation and grouping of phenomenological categories. Once the emerging categories have been defined in Phase 4, the sample from Phase 1 and the total sample are analyzed again. If new categories appear, processes 2 and 3 are repeated (iterative process). In phase 5, the agreement is calculated using Fleiss’ Kappa. In phase 6, the experience structure and categories of each subject are reviewed among researchers. Only discrepancies between researchers and their sources are discussed. In case of doubts in the categories (definition and grouping), we return to the previous processes and reanalyze the subject.
