Qualitative data analysis: the framework approach
Open accessAbstract
Qualitative methods are invaluable for exploring the complexities of health care and patient experiences in particular. Diverse qualitative methods are available that incorporate different ontological and epistemological perspectives. One method of data management that is gaining in popularity among healthcare researchers is the framework approach. We will outline this approach, discuss its relative merits and provide a working example of its application to data management and analysis.

TL;DR
This methodological article outlines the framework approach to qualitative data analysis and illustrates its application using a doctoral study of parents managing a child’s hydrocephalus and shunt. It argues that the framework approach offers a transparent, systematic, interconnected set of stages that can enhance rigour in healthcare qualitative research.
Key findings
- The framework approach is presented as particularly suited to cross-sectional descriptive data and to making researchers’ interpretations of participants’ experiences transparent, with interconnected stages that guide analysis from data management to descriptive and explanatory accounts.
- In the worked example, the coding matrix was developed from four family interview transcripts, and the analysis produced three core concepts: uncertainty, becoming an expert, and living a normal life.
- Parents’ lack of control over preventing shunt malfunction positioned them in the typology described as overwhelming uncertainty, one of four possible typologies from Penrod (2007): overwhelming uncertainty, role uncertainty, pervasive uncertainty, and minimal uncertainty.
- The authors report that the framework approach helped retain links between original data and findings, supported case-based and theme-based analysis, and enabled tracking of analytical decisions.
Methods
- Design: Methodological overview and worked example of the framework approach, drawing on a doctoral study by one author (JS) investigating parents’ management of their child’s hydrocephalus and shunt.
- Data/sample: In-depth face-to-face interviews with parents, conducted individually or jointly, using an interview topic guide; interviews were transcribed verbatim. The initial coding matrix was developed from four family interview transcripts selected to represent a range of experiences, including one family whose older child had no shunt problems.
- Analysis: Applied the framework approach described by Ritchie and Lewis (2003), involving familiarisation, in-vivo coding, category and theme development, a coding index, NVivo-assisted data management, refinement of themes, development of abstract concepts, and explanatory accounts linked to existing literature and theory.
Limitations
- The paper does not present a formal limitations section. It states that novice researchers may underestimate the time required for early analytical stages, that part-time students can find it difficult to re-engage with data after time away, and that software and training costs for the National Centre for Social Research package need to be factored into funding applications.
- Evident from the text: the worked example comes from a single doctoral study, and the initial coding matrix used only four family interview transcripts; the total sample size and participant characteristics are not reported.
- Evident from the text: the article offers a methodological illustration rather than an empirical comparison or formal evaluation of the framework approach against other qualitative analysis methods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
