As this was a clinical audit, sample
size was not calculated. A general
inductive, qualitative (Thomas,
2006) approach was used to analyse
responses to the long and short
term goals. Two authors independently
reviewed all the goals several
times and grouped them into
categories that were predetermined
based on an initial evaluation of the
short and long term goals that were
set. From this coding scheme, the
categories were inductively developed
to identify common themes
that refl ected the long and short
terms set by the CR participants
