The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview and the data was analyzed using MAXQDA 22 software. The reliability and validity of the data were opened by observing the participants and reviewing the experts. The results obtained from the research data of open, axial and selective coding processes were analyzed and 847 conceptual reports were classified into 25 associative categories from 16 interviews and finally six models were drawn.
