Phase 1 – Content Analysis
Firstly, after careful reading and data immersion (Miles & Huberman 1994), one researcher (RW) conducted a conventional qualitative content analysis (Hsieh & Shannon 2005), open coding all comments and identifying broad themes within an initial framework. Categories were developed inductively, were exhaustive and mutually exclusive (Elo & Kyngas 2008). The preliminary coding schema was then discussed with a second researcher (JC) and revised before all data within each code was re-examined, with some codes combined (Robson 2002).
The number of participants writing about a particular theme are not seen as ‘representative’ of the views of the sample as a whole as they reflect what individuals chose to write (Jackson & Trochim 2002). Nevertheless, simple counts and percentages are used to illustrate the proportion of comments that addressed particular themes, and when an issue was raised frequently, weight was attributed to this as reflecting an important element of experience. Throughout the process, peer debriefing and negative case analysis was undertaken to ensure credibility and validity of the analysis (Lincoln & Guba 1985).
