Analysing and presenting qualitative data

Further guidance on writing up qualitative reports can be found in the sionthis paper has described a pragmatic process of thematic content analysis as a method of analysing qualitative data generated by interviews or focus groups.

Furthermore, it is possible that some participants will not recognise some of the emerging theories, as each of them will probably have contributed only a portion of the data. For example, some quantitative researchers claim that qualitative accounts cannot be held straightforwardly to represent the social world, thus different researchers may interpret the same data somewhat differently.

It has been argued that this process may help to guard against the potential for lone researcher bias and help to provide additional insights into theme and theory development.

Validity in qualitative health care research: an exploration of the impact of individual researcher perspectives within collaborative enquiry. Informed by the analytical and theoretical ideas developed during the research, these categories are further refined and reduced in number by grouping them together.

However, to ensure that the analysis process is systematic and rigorous, the whole corpus of collected data must be thoroughly analysed. These contradictions are both sophisticated and complex, incorporating positive and negative notions relating to food and its health and social consequences, which they are able to fluently adopt when talking about food:'my mother says drink juice because it's healthy and she says if you don't drink it you won't get healthy and you won't have any sweets and you'll end up having to go to hospital if you don't eat anything like vegetables because you'll get weak'.

The next stage is to allocate each of the categories its own coloured marking pen and then each transcript is worked through and data that fit under a particular category are marked with the according colour. The paper also critically explores how computers can be used to facilitate this process, the debate about the verification (validation) of qualitative analyses and how to write up and present qualitative research uctionprevious papers in this series have introduced readers to qualitative research and identified approaches to collecting qualitative data.

G a qualitative report g qualitative reportqualitative research generates rich information- thus deciding where to focus and the level of sharing is very challenging. Indeed, the process of thematic content analysis is often very similar in all types of qualitative research, in that the process involves analysing transcripts, identifying themes within those data and gathering together examples of those themes from the example of an initial coding frameworkfull the second stage, the researcher collects together all of the words and phrases from all of the interviews onto a clean set of pages.

Analysing qualitative research analysis of qualitative research involves aiming to uncover and / or understand the big picture - by using the data to describe the phenomenon and what this means. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis involves labelling and coding all of the data in order that similarities and differences can be recognised.
