title: Analysing qualitative data using a software package.
abstract: Since the 1970s, interest in qualitative approaches to research among nurses and midwives has increased ( 1 ). As clinicians become more aware of the potential benefits of interpretive methodologies and as more of them engage in further and higher education, the need to be able to analyse qualitative research data efficiently increases.
