There are an increasing number of qualitative studies which focus on the dyad (couples, families, caregivers–patients, health care professionals–patients). However, there is limited literature regarding qualitative methodology for dyadic analysis when members of the couple have been interviewed separately. The aim of this article is to share the knowledge we gained from undertaking a novel approach to dyadic analysis. We used an adapted version of the Framework method on data gathered in a study exploring the impact of prostate cancer on younger men and their partners. In this article, we examine and reflect on the challenges of this type of analysis and describe how we analyzed the interview data from a dyadic point of view, to share what we learned in the process.

越来越多的定性研究侧重于成对（夫妻、家庭、护理人员-患者、医疗保健专业人员-患者）。然而，当夫妻成员分别接受采访时，关于二元分析的定性方法的文献有限。本文的目的是分享我们从采用新的二元分析方法中获得的知识。我们对在一项研究中收集的数据使用了框架方法的改编版本，该研究探索了前列腺癌对年轻男性及其伴侣的影响。在本文中，我们检查并反思此类分析的挑战，并描述我们如何从二元的角度分析访谈数据，分享我们在此过程中学到的东西。
