The process of narrative analysis involves several key steps: 1. Data Collection: This typically involves in-depth interviews, focus groups, or written narratives from participants. 2. Transcription: The collected data is transcribed verbatim to ensure accuracy. 3. Coding and Categorization: The transcripts are then coded to identify recurring themes and patterns. 4. Interpretation: The coded data is interpreted to understand the underlying meanings and implications. 5. Presentation: The findings are presented in a narrative format, often accompanied by direct quotes from participants to illustrate key points.
