From: How context affects people’s willingness to register for the deceased organ donation programme
Rigour assessment parameter | Techniques used to enhance rigour |
|---|---|
1) Credibility | • Member checks: researchers’ and participant’s verification of interpretation • Reflexivity and audit trail: the three researchers reflected on how they affected and were affected by the research and how all decisions were made. • Thick descriptions • Examine previous research. • Competency of researchers: one of the researchers was the research supervisor. |
2) Transferability | • Thick descriptions • Maximum variations: selecting a sample that encompasses a wide range of cases |
3) Consistency or dependability | • Peer examination: the researchers verified for each other. • Reflexivity and audit trail |
4) Confirmability | • Reflexivity and audit trail |
