Oncology Nursing Forum Vol. 41, No. 1, January 2014 89 Methods & Meanings Diane G. Cope, PhD, ARNP, BC, AOCNP Associate EditorDiane G. Cope, PhD, ARNP, BC, AOCNP Methods and Meanings: Credibility and Trustworthiness of Qualitative ResearchHistorically, qualitative research has been viewed as soft sci-ence and criticized for lacking scientific rigor compared to quantita-tive research, which uses experimental, objective Methods (Mays & Pope, 1995). Common criticisms are that qualita-tive research is subjective, anecdotal, subject to researcher bias, and lacking generalizability by producing large quan-tities of detailed information about a sin-gle, unique phenomenon or setting (Koch & Harrington, 1998). However, qualita-tive research is not inferior research, but a different approach in studying humans. Qualitative research emphasizes explor-ing individual experiences, describing phenomenon, and developing theory (Vishnevsky & Beanlands, 2004).

Transferability. Transferability refers to findings that . can be applied to other settings or groups (Houghton, Casey, Shaw, & Murphy, 2013; Polit & Beck, 2012). A qualitative study has met this criterion if the re-sults have meaning to individuals not involved in the study and readers can associate the results with their own expe - riences.
