The articles can, thus, only be categorized crudely by policy stage rather than by specific theoretical theme.
Data were analyzed considering two aspects: 1) For each type of group, we calculated iterations for each theoretical theme (the number of times a participant discussed a specific theme); 2) For the content, we created emerging themes reflecting the discussions and classified them under the theoretical aspect.
His bare-bones story of a car accident that ruins the lives of two men is merely an excuse for this savvy, experimental playwright to explore more theoretical themes like the power of suggestion and the complex, manipulative relationship between storyteller and audience.
The field has also generated its own theoretical themes, such as propaganda, media uses and gratifications, meaning, agenda-setting, the knowledge gap, the spiral of silence, and selective exposure.
The perception study is structured around the theoretical themes: motives, expectations, altered understandings of self, health and disease in relation to participation, and involvement in science.
To introduce transparency, a systematic approach to data analysis was used, engaging detailed familiarisation, identification and indexing of key themes; contextualising of themes in relation to the framework of cancer diagnosis in primary care; and interpreting them within the context of theoretical themes relevant to the interview material.
Our goal was to determine each article's main theme, theoretical background, methodology and relevant findings.
Interviews and focus groups were held concurrently in order to facilitate the constant comparison method of analysis (theoretical sampling and theme saturation).
Theoretical saturation of themes is achieved when no new insights are obtained, no new themes identified, and no issues arise regarding a category of data, in spite of replicating the study conditions (eg. analyzing data from additional focus group sessions) [36].
Theoretical saturation of themes was achieved in this study upon analysis of the data from the three sessions.
Interviews were conducted until theoretical saturation of themes was achieved [ 37].
