Reflections on qualitative data analysis training for PPI partners and its implementation into practice

Table 1 Framework Analysis Approach with PPI

Stage	Description	PPI
1. Transcription of data	Audio data is converted to a written transcript	None
2. Familiarisation	The audio recording is subjected to repeated listening and the transcript repeated reading	MK repeated reading of all five transcripts
3. Coding	The transcript is read line by line and a code or label is applied by the researcher	MK developed codes for 2 transcripts
4. Development of analytical framework	Where research team meet to discuss and compare their codes and agree on a framework of codes to be applied to subsequent transcripts	MK met with AC and discussed codes and together developed framework
5. Application of framework	The working analytical framework is applied to remaining transcripts. New codes/labels are added to the framework which is further refined	MK applied framework to the remaining 3 transcripts and reviewed 2 initial transcripts against the framework
6. Charting	A summary of the data is produced from which codes are built into themes	MK reviewed data summary
7. Interpreting	Expand and interpret themes, and develop an analytical understanding	MK and AC discussed interpretations and overarching themes.
