| Step | Description of the analysis process |
---|---|---|
1 | Line-by-line extraction of secondary data | • Included literature was read in full and data was extracted into Microsoft Excel • The following categories were used for the initial extraction: paper objective, stakeholders mentioned, summary of structural and agentic features influencing prioritization and implementation of rehabilitation policies, and reflections of the data extraction team |
2 | Development of descriptive themes | • An abductive analytical approach was utilized, moving between the extracted literature data and policy theory to distill themes under structure and agentic features |
3 | Generation of analytical themes | • A second round of thematic analysis was used to inductively identify analytical sub-themes from extracted literature within the structural and agentic categories • Group discussions within the research team were held to review sub-themes and consider representativeness across the literature • All extracted literature was re-assembled by sub-theme |
4 | Dualist inductive/deductive coding of key informant interviews | • Pre-coded segments of transcripts from the key informant interviews were re-coded against the themes and sub-themes identified from the extracted literature • A dualistic technique of deductive/inductive thematic analysis was utilized, comparing the extracted literature data and key informant interview findings. Additional sub-themes were added inductively based on the KII data |
5 | Triangulation with policy theory and framework finalization | • Equal weighting was applied to all forms of data when constructing the framework; however, the majority of the empirical data was derived from the KIIs • Abductive analysis was utilized to analyze how the final set of inductively generated categories emergent in the rehabilitation-specific data aligned with policy theory and scholarship |
