All FGDs were conducted with minimal moderator involvement to minimise participants’ attention on the moderator and maximise participants’ attention towards each other.14,30,31,32 Thus, participants were facing each other, and the moderator was seated in the background mostly remaining passive and silent, only contributing to steer a discussion back to the topic at hand, clarify topics, probe a relevant discussion if needed or suggest an opinion from relatively silent participants. The moderator was a local social scientist (SI) with experience in conducting group discussions. We presented participants with eight discussion topics directly or indirectly related to the supervisory relationship: (1) Supervision experiences in general, (2) Aims of supervision, (3) Positive experiences, (4) Negative experiences, (5) Supervisors’/supervisees’ (the other’s) behaviour, (6) Supervisors’/supervisees’ (the other’s) view of supervisees/supervisors, (7) Training vs inspection and (8) Recommendations. Some of these (topics 1, 3, 4, and 8) were directly relevant both to this study and the related study,14 some mainly to this study (topics 5 and 6) and some (topics 2 and 7) mainly to the related study.14
