Examples of Semi-Structured Interview Questions and their corresponding analytic approach

Example interview questions Analytic approach
Some people don’t really think of themselves as cancer caregivers even though they are taking care of someone with cancer. What do you think about this?
  • Probe: What has your experience been like taking care of someone with cancer?

Inductive analysis
Who are the people in your life who give you support? These people might be near to you or far away.
  • Probe: Who gives you support when you are taking care of your loved one with cancer? You might get support from someone you know personally, someone you know online or even your close coworkers.

  • Probe: What kind of help do these people provide to you?

  • Probe: How has this help changed since your loved one was diagnosed with cancer until now?
