The interviews and focus group recordings will be transcribed, and data analysis will proceed using a thematic analysis approach. This is a process of identifying, analysing, reporting and interpreting patterns or themes, and is one of the most used qualitative approaches in health research.33 Codes will be applied to broad themes and then broken down further into subcodes—30% will be double-coded to ensure the reliability of coding, and differences will be resolved through discussion. Transcripts will be closely examined to identify key themes and subthemes. Thematic analysis will be supported by the computer-assisted qualitative analysis software, NVivo.
