Table 1 Inductive systematic text condensation analysis, approximately here
Steps of ISTC | Means of establishing trustworthiness |
|---|---|
Step 1: Overview | Achieving an overview of the data material by reading the text several times |
Three Authors (GV/HJ/GA) transcribed the material and then independently conducted a thorough review of the content | Bracket out preconception with sharp awareness for the participants voice |
Step 2: Coding | Looking for preliminary themes |
Three authors (GV/HJ/GA) independently analysed the material, searching primary patterns and codes | Researchers discussed tentative themes |
Step 3: Condensation | Systematic reviewing the text line by line to identify meaning units |
Three authors (GV/HJ/GA) condensed the material independently, critically evaluating relevant themes and codes before involving the two other authors (KFM/AØG) in the process | Use of preliminary themes framework and tentative themes |
Step 4 Synthesizing | Identify and organize data elements according to research questions |
All authors recontextualized and collaboratively identified terminologies for main themes and sub-themes. The authors discussed the themes collectively and reached consensus | Coding-identifying, classifying and sorting meaning units into categorises and themes |
The categories were sorted, abstracted, and condensed into themes with internal homogeneity | |
The themes and categories were discussed among the researchers | |
Discussed with co-researchers and consensus on themes and themes naming | |
Reconceptualizing researchers putting pieces of text together again | |
Present analytic text with the most salient content meaning | |
Analytic distance and discussion | |
The underlying meaning in the themes and categories were linked together to create the main themes |
