Table 1 Summary of rapid qualitative study design
Data collection | Sample | Data analysis |
|---|---|---|
Semi-structured interviews with patients (audio recorded and interview notes) | 7 patients who took part in the trial across both sites (all patients received the intervention). None of the patients who declined participation in the trial accepted our invitation to take part in a telephone interview | Recordings were transcribed and imported into Nvivo. Transcripts were first analysed thematically by using a codebook and a framework was developed |
Semi-structured interviews with staff (audio recorded and interview notes) | 12 members of staff across both sites (including clinical and management staff) | Recordings were transcribed and imported into Nvivo. Transcripts were first analysed thematically by using a codebook and a framework was developed |
Audit based on telephone conversations (data collected through notes made on a proforma) | 16 potential trial participants (who did not take part in the trial) out of 43 who were approached | Notes were imported into Nvivo, analysed thematically and through framework analysis |
