A flowchart shows six stages of thematic analysis connected by directional arrows.The flowchart is arranged in two horizontal rows with rounded rectangles connected by arrows showing the progression of thematic analysis. In the top row, a rounded rectangle on the left is labeled “Familiarization with data”. A rightward double-line arrow connects this box to the center rounded rectangle labeled “Coding”. Another rightward double-line arrow connects “Coding” to the rounded rectangle on the right labeled “identifying initial themes”. From “identifying initial themes”, a downward double-line arrow points to the lower-right rounded rectangle labeled “Writing up discussion on themes”. In the bottom row, a leftward double-line arrow connects “Writing up discussion on themes” to the center rounded rectangle labeled “Refinging, defining and naming themes”. Another leftward double-line arrow connects this box to the lower-left rounded rectangle labeled “Developing and reviewing themes”.
