Step	Description
Step 1	Compilation of qualitative findings (authors’ themes, subthemes, and supporting quotations) and qualitized quantitative data.
Step 2	Inductive analysis of the extracted data to develop descriptive categories based on similarity in meaning, involving initial independent coding and discussion.
Step 3	Interpretive synthesis of the categories into overarching synthesized findings through collaborative analysis, ensuring integration across data sources.
