A model proposal for qualitative data analysis, interpretation, and reporting: contextuality, reflectivity, and narrativity.

From education to healthcare and management processes, it is important to address the experience in health within its own complexity, context, and uniqueness. At this point, qualitative studies come to the fore and this increases the need for practical guides and models for qualitative studies. Qualitative studies have a paradigm that is different from quantitative research and its paradigm ontologically, epistemologically, and methodologically. These differences are reflected in the design of the research as well as the analysis, interpretation, and reporting of qualitative data. From such a point of view, this paper first briefly outlines the design process of qualitative studies and then proposes a model for the analysis, interpretation, and reporting of qualitative data. The three core concepts of the model are 'contextuality', 'reflectivity', and 'narrativity'. Such a conceptual/theoretical framework transforms qualitative data analysis, interpretation, and reporting processes into processes that are carried out with a reflective approach within their specific contexts. Taking this into account, by considering a contextual, reflective, and narrative approach, two frameworks, namely, the 'Contextual (Multiple) Reading and Analysis Framework' consisting of three stages and seven steps, and the 'Contextual Understanding, Interpretation and Reporting Framework' consisting of four stages, were developed. This provides a practical guide to contextual and reflective data analysis, interpretation, and reporting for the use of those conducting qualitative studies.
