1. Familiarisation with the data: transcribing, reading and re-reading, noting initial ideas |
|
2. Generating initial codes across data set, collating data for each code |
|
3. Searching for themes: collating codes into potential themes and gathering all data relevant to each theme |
|
4. Reviewing themes: checking themes work on extracts and the entire data set, generating thematic ‘map’ |
Re-reading data extracts to look for patterns. Comparing codes generated from the first five transcripts with the research team and agreeing on a set of codes for subsequent transcripts. Coding all transcripts looking for additional data that may have been missed. Generating a working analytical ‘map’ using the developed codes and themes.
|
5. Defining and naming themes: refinement through ongoing analysis, generating clear definitions and names for themes |
Naming and defining the themes and sharing with the research team for review. Refining themes and cross-referencing with principles of person-centred care. Writing a detailed analysis of each theme.
