Reviewer 3 Report
Dear Authors.
Thank you for this interesting manuscript. I do however lack some clarity in the analysis and result section much in relation to the chosen analysis. Also some unclear writing or writing that needs to be elaborated and clear in the background.
Please see the attached file for specifics.
Rewrite the discussion afterward and also highlight the weaknesses in comparing different data from different years.
Thank you

Round 2
Reviewer 1 Report
Your manuscript is very interesting but need revisions. Review grounded theory methodology and make necessary changes that adhere to grounded theory.
Author Response
We have edited the manuscript again for grammar and punctuations and hope you find the English language acceptable now.
We have edited the introduction part for clarity and readability.
Your comment on grounded theory made us wonder what you meant for some time. The two studies we compare are those we did as a mixed method, two-phased study. We have done a grounded theory study with nurses that we also have published, however, that was not about how comfortable they were in assessing patients spiritually. To make sure that we do not confuse our readers, we have taken out references to the Gt study until the discussion part.
Reviewer 3 Report
Dear Authors
I do think you have improved your manuscript. However, I do think that the qualitative part of the manuscript is presented more like a mass of text and not as themes. Please be specific under the themes what they reveal and how they add.
Thank you
