Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Adhering to page constraints imposed by journals inevitably reduces the amount of thick description and verbatim accounts that can be reported in qualitative research reports. Page limitations imposed by journals ultimately impact the ability of the researcher to support the authenticity of the study with thick description of the content, and researchers must compromise in how the data is reported. Reflexivity involves awareness that the researcher as an individual brings to the inquiry a unique background, set of values, and a social and professional identity that can affect the research process; this would not be a barrier to demonstrating trustworthiness. Generalizability and large sample size, although important in quantitative research, are not goals of qualitative research because qualitative research is context-bound.
