"Disclosure The authors declare no conflict of interest."

"Funding Funding for article publication was provided by the University of Warwick."

"The full details of the methods can be found in the protocol paper, which was prospectively written in line with PRISMA-P guidelines. A systematic review of qualitative research was performed following PRISMA guidelines. The systematic review was prospectively registered on PROSPERO, the international prospective register of systematic reviews (CRD42017076715). Reporting of this review was guided by the Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ) framework.
