I'm currently conducting research looking at the information needs of hospital patients. My research questions are:

a) what are patients' experiences of receiving information in acute hospital?

b) what are patients' early information needs?

I'm using Braun & Clarke's (2006; 2019) reflexive method of thematic analysis, which states that themes represent "patterns of meaning across a dataset", rather than being organised as answers to specific questions. While I have a number of themes that meet these criteria, I believe it would also be clinically relevant to have sections entitled "most useful sources of information", and "most important information topics". However I'm worried that these may be viewed as "under-developed themes". If anyone has any guidance on this it would be greatly appreciated.
