Stage 1 | Verbatim transcriptions of the interviews were done, and transcripts were read and re-read. Initial thoughts were written down. ED and CvdL |
Stage 2 |
Inductive coding of all interviews were conducted by hand. The initial codes were defined broadly to bring together a group of data excerpts that could be related, and sticky notes were used as tools. One document with all the codes was made for each transcript, in order to gain an overview of the codes, both within and across interviews. ED and CvdL. Meetings with all four authors took place to discuss main tendencies within the datasets. |
Stage 3 | We searched for themes within and across interviews, and mindmaps and color codes were used. ED and CvdL. |
Stage 4 | The themes were reviewed and named, and all the relevant data for each theme were gathered. All authors. |
Stage 5 | Themes were defined, as well as how they related to each other. All authors. |
Stage 6 | Writing up the results. All authors. |
