Abstract: | Most quantitative and qualitative researchers, as well as other interested parties, including occupational therapists, show concern regarding whether a research study is believable, and accurate. If research studies are based on haphazard methods, false findings and incorrect interpretation, clinical practice will possibly be erroneous. Thus, in health-care research, it is important to verify that the findings are the actual results and interpretations obtained and are an accurate representation of human experience. The aim of this article is to discuss the principles of verification in qt:alitative research and considers their application to the different traditions of enquiry. |
