Figure 1.
The diagram shows a linear sequence of boxes beginning with start, followed by familiarisation with the data, generating initial codes, searching for themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming themes, writing the report and ending with end. Arrows connect each step from left to right. A downward arrow from reviewing themes leads to a box labelled defining and naming themes which loops upward toward completion check beneath writing the report. The process appears arranged in a straight horizontal path with two short vertical branches showing additional steps before the final report writing stage.Thematic Analysis process by Braun and Clarke (2006)
