Table 2 Trustworthiness criteria
Criteria | Techniques Performed and Application Procedures |
|---|---|
Credibility | Investigator triangulation: Team meetings were organized during the thematic analysis, the results were compared, and the final results were identified Member checking: post interview patient member checking consisted in offering all participants the opportunity to review the audio or written records |
Transferability | In-depth descriptions of the study, providing data and describing the study design and its different sections (context, research team, reflexivity process, sampling, inclusion criteria, data collection, and analysis) |
Dependability | Audit by an external researcher, responsible for the assessment of the study protocol, with a special focus on the method and process of implementation during the study |
Confirmability | Investigator triangulation, data collection triangulation. The process of reflexivity was conducted through the description of the researchers’ positioning; reflective debriefing by the researchers during data collection and analysis |
