“…The intent of developing TACT is congruent with Koch (2006) guidelines for evaluating the quality, and Morse et al (2002) proposal for considering as a quality measure in enhancing research utility. Furthermore, some of the elements in the framework are similar to those suggested in the work of Johnston et al (2017).…”

Assessing the quality of qualitative research to ensure rigour in the findings is critical, especially if findings are to contribute to theory and be utilised in practice. However, teaching students concepts of rigour and how to apply them to their research is challenging. This article presents a generic framework of rigour with four critical dimensions—Trustworthiness, Auditability, Credibility and Transferability (TACT) intended to teach issues of rigour to postgraduate students and those new to qualitative research methodology. The framework enables them to explore the key dimensions necessary for assessing the rigour of qualitative research studies and checklist questions against each of the dimensions. TACT was offered through 10 workshops, attended by 64 participants. Participants positively evaluated the workshops and reported that the workshops enable them to learn the principles of qualitative research and better understanding issues of rigour. Work presented in the article is part of a large research programme investigating the pedagogy of research methods in higher education.

“…Phenomenology's departure and arrival point is lived experience and it is oriented towards discovering just that (van Manen, , ). Namely, through phenomenology, scholars aim to discover what lived experience means and how a particular phenomenon is experienced (Johnston, Wallis, Oprescu, & Gray, ; Lindseth & Norberg, ; van Manen, ), without presupposing explicit knowledge of the same (Converse, ). Thus, phenomenology is a human science that enables us to study a person's world as they live it, seeking to obtain a more complete understanding of our experiences and, consequently, what it means, in more depth, to live in the world (van Manen, ).…”

van Manen's phenomenology of practice: How can it contribute to nursing?

et al. 2018

Phenomenology of practice is a useful, rigorous way of deeply understanding human phenomena. Therefore, it allows research to be conducted into nursing's most sensitive and decisive aspects. While it is a widely used research approach and methodology in nursing, it is seldom addressed and made use of in its practical and applied value. This article aimed to approach the global outlook of van Manen's hermeneutic-phenomenological method to better understand its theoretical background and to address and support the contribution this method can make to nursing, if rigorously applied. For a professional discipline like nursing, van Manen's approach is especially interesting because, in addition to contributing to the body of knowledge of nursing, it provides a special kind of knowledge that allows nurses to act in a more reflective manner, and with tact and skill, in certain situations and relationships that arise in their daily practice. A more in-depth understanding of this research methodology may help nurse-researchers make good use of it and also harness knowledge derived from this type of research. This comes as a result of assuming that phenomenological texts, the final product of the research, have tremendous educational potential for people who read them carefully.

“…Researchers must disclose the details of the study to the participants and reveal the tools used to prevent bias (Garg, 2016). A researcher can control bias by setting aside any prejudices and knowledge gained through personal or scholarly sources (Johnston, Wallis, Oprescu, & Gray, 2017) as a procedure with prompts to follow throughout the interview process (Li et al, 2014).…”

Methodological considerations related to nurse researchers using their own experience of a phenomenon within phenomenology

Abstract: We recommend using the researchers' experience as a data source to gain a complete picture of the phenomenon under investigation. Using the approach proposed here, nurses can ensure they are incorporating all data sources available while maintaining research rigour.
