It outlines common qualitative approaches—such as narrative, phenomenological, grounded theory, ethnographic, and case study designs—and discusses key criteria for evaluating qualitative rigor, including credibility, transferability, dependability, confirmability, and various dimensions of authenticity. The article highlights common challenges in qualitative research reporting, such as epistemological inconsistencies and superficial methodological application, and offers strategies to enhance rigor, including prolonged engagement, triangulation, reflexivity, and transparent analytic processes. While acknowledging the utility of reporting checklists like COREQ (Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research) and SRQR (Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research), it cautions against their rigid use, advocating instead for flexible, context-sensitive evaluation aligned with diverse qualitative traditions. The authors encourage ongoing methodological evolution and mentorship to support high-quality qualitative research that aligns with occupational therapy values and advances the field. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: editorial tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
