Data analysis involved reviewing the transcript for accuracy and then highlighting phrases
that were descriptive of the participant’s experiences. Subsequently, key phrases were highlighted
and organized into summary statements in the margin of the transcript. Finally, domains of
meaning were created from the summary statements and then paired with related quotations. To
ensure credibility of the investigation, peer examination, member checking, and confirmatory
analysis were used (Creswell, 2008). For peer examination, three of the four researchers
separately reviewed the data set to extract themes. The team then met to reach consensus
regarding common themes and outliers. Verification of results was also attained through on-going
member checks. A confirmatory analysis was used to compare what researchers had explored in
the literature to the findings in the study.
