What matters when asking what matters to you? — perceptions and experiences of health care providers on involving older people in transitional care

摘要

A strength of the current article is that it sheds light on how HCPs make sense of the WMTY question in practice, something that should be highly relevant given its widespread use. The trustworthiness of this study is strengthened by the fact that several authors were involved in the analysis allowing for taken for granted assumptions to be uncovered and challenged. Only the first author was immersed in the field and critical discussion with “outsiders” provided a necessary balance of closeness and analytical distance to the material [ ]. Furthermore, the writing of an analytical memo that served as a” decision trail” [ ] as accounted for in the method section, hopefully strengthened the transparency and trustworthiness of the study. Use of quotes in the results section, and the use of theory and previous research to substantiate results in the discussion, should also strengthen the trustworthiness [ ].
