Developing themes involves:

  • Familiarization: Read and re-read the interview transcripts to understand the content.
  • Coding: Highlight meaningful parts of the text and assign labels (codes) to summarize them.
  • Grouping codes: Identify patterns or similarities among codes and cluster them into broader categories (themes).
  • Reviewing themes: Ensure each theme accurately represents the data.
  • Naming themes: Choose concise, descriptive names for each theme. For example, if multiple stakeholders discuss funding issues, you might create a theme called "Resource Constraints."
