Dissertation Help!!!
M

Hi

I am currently working on my dissertation. I am stuck with a lot of questions in the analysis part. It uses reflexive thematic analysis by Braun & Clarke to analyze semi-structured interviews of participants. I initially developed 8 themes but have reduced them to 3 themes with sub-themes now. I am struck by lot of questions as I look to start writing up the report part.

My questions & concerns:
Are my themes too dense or broad? Do they look like topic summaries?
Do I separate the results and discussion section or combine them as I read different views on this?

"The document structure for academic journal articles and Masters or PhD theses typically subscribe to the convention of reporting results of analyses in a ‘results’ section and then synthesising and contextualising the results of analyses in a ‘discussion’ section. Conversely, Braun and Clarke recommend synthesising and contextualising data as and when they are reported in the ‘results’ section. "

I have been unable to reach out to my supervisor and at this point need to find some answers to guide me. Any help is appreciated as I have like a little more than 10 days left.
