Once informed consent was obtained, focus groups were conducted at a convenient time for the stakeholders at each hospital site. The interview questions were developed with expert advice from members of the study team and after considering the analysis from a scoping review (Table 1) [9]. The interview aimed to obtain health professional views on the enablers and barriers to evidence-based patient falls education. Interviews were semi-structured with the interviewer using the list of questions as a guide. Each focus group interview was audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim by a third-party transcription service. To ensure anonymity, each participant was de-identified with a number used in all transcripts and questionnaires.
This briefly describes the benefits and downfalls of data collection, as well as certain barriers and expectations.
