This manual offers a practical guide to carry out advanced qualitative analysis assisted using ATLAS.ti in order to quantify the coding. It explains step by step how to prepare the corpus, configure the project and build a coding system, combining qualitative interpretation with quantitative exploratory techniques.
Strategies are presented to analyze the thematic structure of the data, identify co-occurrences and create matrices that relate codes and documents. Also included are techniques such as contingency tables, Chi-Square tests, Cramer coefficient V and correspondence analysis, designed to reveal patterns and relationships within the textual corpus.
The manual shows how to integrate discourse interpretation with structural data analysis, following a mixed method approach applied to social studies. It is illustrated with a case in the field of nursing, demonstrating its usefulness to organize large volumes of information, identify patterns and rigorously document each phase of the analysis.
