Credibility | How well the data collected and the analysis process address the research questions |
The sample was broad and contained care providers who were employed in a variety of roles, at different career stages, and they shared insights gained from quality improvement initiatives. The sampling strategy was designed to be representative of the focal population of interest while simultaneously capturing variation of the phenomena. Representative quotations for each theme have been included. Multiple authors were involved in identifying and finalising themes (eg, member checks).

Transferability | Whether findings can be transferred to other settings or groups |
|
Dependability | Accounting for factors that may change over time and providing enough information to replicate the study |
The study involved only one (not multiple) interview with each person and were collected about retrospective experiences over a fairly short time period (3 months), minimising concerns about variation induced by external changes. Additional information was provided on methods for processing data and data analysis to help enable replication.
