The thematic framework is developed through familiarisation with a subset of transcripts.
A four page questionnaire was developed following familiarisation with the literature and was pre-piloted with a sample of academic GPs.
Research team members read and coded several transcripts to achieve familiarisation and develop the coding framework.
The five steps comprise familiarisation, developing a thematic framework, indexing, charting, mapping and interpretation.
Five analysis techniques (familiarisation, developing a thematic framework, indexing, charting and mapping and interpretation) were used to identify cross-cutting themes shared across case studies.
Multicountry qualitative semistructured interview study, with data subjected to a five-stage analytic framework approach (familiarisation, developing a thematic framework from interview questions and emerging themes, indexing, charting and interpretation), and with interviewers commenting on preliminary analytic themes.
Data were subjected to five-stage analytic framework approach (familiarisation, developing a thematic framework from the interview questions and emerging themes, indexing, charting and mapping to search for interpretations), with interviewers commenting on preliminary reports.
This method includes systematic searching of the literature, quality assessment (as described above), extraction of data and thematic analysis of those data, i.e. familiarisation and coding line by line to develop descriptive themes.
[ 53] The process began with familiarisation of the researchers with the raw data in transcription to develop an index or conceptual framework of themes and sub-themes.
Familiarisation with the data is the first step; thematic analysis was then carried out to develop a coding scheme, the codes were then applied to the whole dataset; and a summary of the data was arranged across cases and under themes.
