Bracketing
Begin this section here. In traditional phenomenological qualitative research, bracketing is “the process of identifying and holding in abeyance any preconceived beliefs and opinions about the phenomena under study.” This process is necessary for qualitative research, given its inductive nature– the researchers must be open to understanding new phenomena. The process of bracketing is not a single event – it is iterative and extends throughout a researcher’s relationship with a research phenomenon. Similarly, each time we embark on appraisal of healthcare evidence, we are wise to pause and engage in a process similar to bracketing wherein we self-examine ways that our own experiences or biases with a topic or patient population might affect our interpretation or appraisal of the evidence. In this section of the paper, after a period of reflection, identify prior experiences, personally held opinions, or biases that could affect your experience reading and appraising the assigned qualitative article. (Please do not feel compelled to write about anything overly personal – it is just fine to keep any sensitive reflections confidential.) The suggested length for this section is one to two paragraphs.
Trustworthiness
Begin typing this section here. Use this section to address how the authors of the article do or do not address all four of Lincoln and Gubas’ Trustworthiness Criteria (credibility, dependability, transferability, and confirmability). Describe the authors’ activities that contributed to each of the 4 trustworthiness criteria. Suggested length to address this topic is two to three paragraphs. If your article systematically addressed trustworthiness, you will have more to say in this section than if your article did not.
Overall Appraisal
Begin this section here. Use this section to address your overall appraisal of the article. What is your assessment of the overall strengths and limitations of the authors’ reported methods for ensuring study quality? To answer this question, we suggest looking in the discussion section of the article and noting what the authors identify as their own strengths and limitations, plus layering on any strengths or limitations that you have identified and believe are important related to trustworthiness criteria. The suggested length for this section is one to two paragraphs.
Contribution to the Evidence
Begin this section here. In this section, consider that qualitative evidence often adds a perspective that is unique from quantitative evidence. You might consider responding to any of the following prompts that were relevant and important for your article: What is the unique contribution of this article to what is known about this topic? To what extent is this article’s perspective present in quantitative evidence you have reviewed on this topic? In what ways would your assessment of the article’s trustworthiness affect the way you used the article in clinical practice? The suggested length for this section is one to two paragraphs.
Conclusion
Begin this section here. This section should be a succinct summary of the article’s overall trustworthiness and its contribution to the larger body of evidence for the topic. The suggested length of this paragraph is one paragraph.
