Background: Do analysis methods need to be altered when using software program? Software program facilitating qualitative data analysis are here to stay, but data analysis methods may not be adapted for this aid.
Objective: To reflect on the feasibility to follow qualitative data analysis methods when using data analysis software in a basic way.
Method: Presentation of three different analysis of data, using different data analysis methods, aided by QSR NVivo©.
Results: On the conference we report on own experiences of using QSR NVivo© when following the methods of content analysis according to Graneheim and Lundman [1], framework method according to Gale et. al [2] and phenomenological hermeneutical method according to Lindseth and Norberg [3]. Furthermore, we will discuss how NVivo may facilitate analysis, but also how it may threaten the sense of the whole and impede co-assessment.
