Analysis
Hypertensive, MH, hypertensive, CdeS
A code list was developed by THJ, ST AdeS, AN and IJ based on the objectives of the study.The finalised transcripts were uploaded in NVivo version 11 software. The respective study interview guide themes were used for coding using inductive and thematic approach.Coded verbatims were extracted through the analysis software by the research team members (CdeS, NC, MH) at each site, and checked by the site principal investigator (AdeS, AN, IJ). The code summaries were then interpreted thematically under the broader themes using framework analysis and grouped into the following TFA domains: 1) Affective attitudes: How healthcare providers and hypertensive individuals feel about COBRA-BPS intervention, 2) Burden: Challenges in community and healthcare system towards intervention implementation, 3) Ethicality: How COBRA-BPS has a good fit with healthcare system and community, 4) Intervention coherence: Understanding of intervention by hypertensive individuals and healthcare providers 5) Opportunity costs: Benefits, profits, or values that healthcare providers and hypertensive individuals must give up to engage in the intervention, 6) Perceived effectiveness: How the multicomponent intervention is perceived as likely to achieve program endpoints, 7) Self-efficacy: Hypertensive patients’ confidence to do behavioral changes and healthcare providers to perform interventions properly.An additional theme of stakeholders’ views on scaling-up COBRA-BPS was also identified and analyzed. All represented quotes contained country name (BD- Bangladesh, PK-Pakistan, SL- Sri Lanka), participant type, and interview number. Participants’ names were replaced with pseudonyms, and quotes were de-identified to maintain data privacy. Participants’ age range, respondent type (patient, CHW, physician) and study location were retained. The summary analysis grouping was reviewed in depth by ST and chief PI (THJ), and any discrepancies were resolved after discussion with the relevant site PI and the respective site team (CdeS, MH, NC).
