43 In doing in-depth interview, I prepared myself with an interview guideline
to help guide the interview. The interview guideline was used to frame the discussion and to focus attention on the topic of interest and then worked with the
participants to explore the participa nts’ lived experience. In addition to this, I
believed that the participants would reflect and tell their experience freely with the open-ended questions.
The interviews were carried out in participants’ mother tongue, Indonesian, to facilitate communication and to promote richness of the
data in less threatening way. The interview guideline
was made based on Moustakas’s 1994 general interview guide. The questions in the interview guideline were designed for the
interview as follows. Table 3.1. List of Questions as the Interview Guideline
