Steps in the Analysis of the Interviews
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | All the interviews were read through repeatedly to get a good grasp of the whole |
| 2 | The text was divided into meaning units. A meaning unit starts when the content of meaning shifts |
| 3 | Each meaning unit was examined closely and condensed into what was relevant to the research question, and the informant’s language was changed into the researcher’s language |
| 4 | The transformed meaning units were reformulated into themes and subthemes |
| 5 | The themes and subthemes were related to each other in a general structure of the studied phenomenon |
