Table 1 Description of analytic steps
Analytic steps suggested by Braun and Clarke [19] | Analytic steps of the current study |
|---|---|
Familiarising yourself with your data | The authors have read and re-read relevant materials and some are active practitioners in the field. |
Generating initial codes | Initial considerations and reflections were used to identify patterns pertaining to themes. The literature that was studied, rather than the studies’ objectives, was the data-driven focus. |
Searching for themes | Themes and sub themes were used to group the codes. The relevance of the themes and sub-themes for the objectives of the investigations was examined. |
Reviewing themes | The first topics that shared a particular pattern of similarities were combined into one theme after being critically analysed once again to ascertain their fundamental significance. |
Defining and naming themes | Using appropriate titles to describe the central idea of the theme. |
Producing the report | The authors converse on the themes and how to best describe them in a manuscript. |
