TABLE 3.
Step 1 | The transcribed unit of analysis was read through to get an overview of the content. |
Step 2 | The unit of analysis was divided into meaning units comprising words, sentences or paragraphs related to each other. |
Step 3 | The meaning units were condensed without interpretation through the shortening of the text without removing the core meaning of the unit. |
Step 4 | Each meaning unit was labelled with a code through the interpretation of the underlying meaning. |
Step 5 | Codes of similar meaning were clustered into subcategories. The initial subcategories were reduced through a back and forward comparison of codes and groups to capture the underlying meaning. |
Step 6 | Subcategories from the different sources of data were analysed by their latent content and compared in order to form categories based on the underlying meaning of the subcategories. |
