Nardia-Rose Klem, Samantha Bunzli, Anne Smith, Nora Shields
Abstract
Synopsis In part 5 of this series, we turn our attention to concepts of rigor in qualitative research. In doing so, the use of quality appraisal tools and reporting checklists for qualitative studies is explored. Issues regarding a one-size-fits-all approach to these tools and checklists are discussed. Trustworthiness criteria are also described and applied to different qualitative paradigms and methodological approaches. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2022;52(2):60–62. doi:10.2519/jospt.2022.10487
