Phase Action Result 1. Familiarising with data Reading three transcripts of different subgroups (HS, MA, HV, VvV, SdV) Individual initial list of ideas for coding 2. Generating initial codes a. Jointly going through transcripts of three focus groups, focusing on discussing everyone’s initial ideas of codes and arriving at a corresponding idea (HS, MA, HV, VvV, SdV) Initial codebook with definitions of the codes b. Coding of the remaining data by HS, reviewed transcript by one of the other researchers (MA, HV, VvV, SdV). New codes were defined and cross-checked by the whole team before inclusion in the codebook Final codebook c. Peer debriefing, looking back on the process and cooperation, and sharing the overall impression of the data (HS, MA, HV, VvV, SdV) Shared overall view across the data 3. Searching for themes a. Developing themes using mind mapping (HS and MA) Initial concept of themes b. Discussion of overarching themes (HS, MA, HV, VvV, SdV) Concept of themes 4. Reviewing themes Discussion of the themes with the authors of the article (HS, MA, HV, VvV, DJ, MB) Completion of the thematic map 5. Defining and naming themes Writing down the essence of the themes by HS, reviewed by authors (MA, DJ, HV, VvV, MB) Completion definition of themes; concept of result paragraph of article 6. Producing the report Rewriting the results in several stages (HS), always commented by the other authors (MA, DJ, HV, VvV, NS, MB). During this process, a synthesis was formulated and discussed with the authors (MA, DJ, HV, VvV, NS, MB) Finalised text of the results section GP trainees
