3.7. Data analysis

Data were collected between September–October 2019. Content analysis using an inductive approach was used to analyse focus group data (Graneheim et al., 2017; Hsieh & Shannon, 2005). As described by Kondracki et al. (2002), this form of analysis is considered useful for analysing textual data from focus groups. Two researchers (LG and KP) immersed themselves in the data, reading focus group transcripts several times to search for similarities and patterns in the data. This was followed by discussing and making notes about first impressions. Codes and categories were constructed and highlighted from the analysis. From this, emerging themes were identified. In terms of rigour, other members of the research team independently reviewed the data to reach agreement about the themes that had identified.
