Background: As the provision of Mindfulness-Based Programs (MBPs) in health care settings progresses, more research is needed to develop guidelines and structures for implementation in various contexts. This study is part of a larger project were MBP provision in Sweden is explored. Objective: The objective is to provide knowledge for the next steps of MBP implementation both in Sweden and internationally. The specific aim of the study is to explore how MBP teachers and other relevant stakeholders experience the implementation of MBP. Methods: Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 MBP providers and 2 other stakeholders from a range of health care settings in Sweden. Results: The results, presented in 3 themes, provide insights into the factors that are crucial for facilitating or hindering MBP implementation; (1) MBP teachers and their training, including the importance of champion individuals and the benefit and shortcomings of various forms of MBP; (2) Patients and patient referrals, including patient characteristics and referral pathways; (3) Organizational prerequisites to successful implementation, highlighting the importance of financial factors and managers’ and colleagues’ knowledge and acceptance of MBP; and (4) the need for structural changes, including future recommendations on quality assessment and guidelines. Conclusion: This study highlights the need for national guidelines for MBP provision and teacher training pathways, as well as improved availability of teacher training. Also, the benefit of a stepped-care model of MBP provision is indicated by the findings. Finally, increasing awareness of MBPs among referrers, managers, and the public may enable successful implementation.

“…To date, there has been extensive discussion in the literature about issues concerning the translation of data in qualitative research (Abfalter et al, 2020;Chen & Boore, 2010;Hendrickson et al, 2013;Nasri et al, 2020;Santos et al, 2015). Evidence suggests that translation-related decisions have a direct impact on the validity of a study's findings and require the researcher to be aware of issues and concerns surrounding translation and interpretations (Chen & Boore, 2010;Squires, 2008Squires, , 2009.…”

“…The person responsible for translating the data has the authority and responsibility to make pertinent decisions about the translation process and the content. The research teams should clearly note who (eg research team, data analyst, research assistant, interpreter or any other person outside the research team) will be involved in translation (Abfalter et al, 2020).…”

“…Researchers should state the techniques used for translation because the diversity and heterogeneity of languages of the participants can affect the translation process. Abfalter et al (2020) discussed two techniques. First, a contextualized hermeneutic approach ensures the accurate translation of the meaning and experiences of participants.…”

Qualitative research is invaluable to facilitate the exploration and understanding of the experiences of individuals about diverse phenomena across different cultures and contexts (Bhattacharya, 2017;Teherani et al., 2015). Qualitative research is also context-dependent and offers an emic viewpoint of the social and cultural reality of the participants (Azungah, 2018). Conducting rigorous qualitative research requires researchers to attend to the cultural and social nuances influencing the studied phenomena. Increasing globalization and diversity create a need for more cross-cultural qualitative research, but language differences between researchers and participants can substantially affect the rigour of this type of research (Nasri et al., 2020). The language of researchers and the participants, and the differences in language arising due to translations and different dialects, can significantly influence qualitative research since they affect conceptualization, data collection, analysis and reporting procedures (Nes et al., 2010).Researchers conducting cross-cultural qualitative studies involving non-English-speaking participants often collect data in their

“…As all the interviews were conducted in Vietnamese, the transcribed texts from the recordings were later translated into English. Whenever we think the translation is not accurate, back and forth translations were performed multiple times until we reached the "correct" interpretation of the interviewees' viewpoint [52]. It took more than two weeks to complete the transcription and translation (between 8 th January and 25 th January 2021).…”

Biodiversity loss is occurring at unprecedented rate. Understanding the mental constructs of the public can help implement more effective programs and regulations for decelerating the loss. Although many studies have been conducted to study the biodiversity mental constructs of the public, little is known about those of urban residents in an Asian emerging country, like Vietnam. Employing the Grounded Theory and semi-conducting interview, the current study attempts to explore three biodiversity perceptions of urban residents in two Vietnamese largest cities: i) biodiversity and biodiversity loss, ii) impacts of biodiversity and biodiversity loss on human, and iii) human’s reaction towards biodiversity and biodiversity loss. Besides identifying important conceptual dimensions, we also find the influence of cultural value, the awareness of multistakeholders’ participation, and some misunderstandings in the urban residents’s perceptions. Thus, we recommend policymakers to promote education and public communication of biodiversity-related knowledge, as well as multistakeholders’ cooperation for achieving the 11th cultural progressive value – the environmental-healing element.
