Trustworthiness of the study

The concept of trustworthiness is crucial for ensuring the validity and reliability of this research

investigation. Shenton (2004) adds that it will be feasible to assess the effectiveness of the study findings

by acknowledging methodological shortcomings and how they might affect the research as well as by

offering a full description of the technique. We must adhere to the four methods for establishing

trustworthiness in qualitative studies addressed by Guba's four trustworthiness principles in order to ensure

the trustworthiness of this qualitative study (Shenton, 2004)

Credibility

The veracity of the data acquired is questioned when the topic of trustworthiness is brought up.

According to Shenton (2004),Credibility is a key element in determining the reliability and accuracy of

empirical data. A study's credibility could be ensured through member checks and triangulation because

each one improves the study's dependability.

The early acquisition of familiarity with the corporate cultures of the cooperating parties before the

initial encounters for data collection takes place. By consulting the required documents and paying

preliminary visits to the organizations, this can be accomplished. Lincoln and Guba (1985) & Erlandson et

al., (1993) as cited by Shenton (2004) are only a few of the numerous individuals who support "prolonged

engagement" between the investigator and the participants in order for the former to both have a sufficient

understanding of an organization and to develop a relationship between the parties. We researchers will

pay particular attention to any potential for becoming so embedded in the culture being researched that it

impairs our capacity for making rational conclusions. In addition to other important needs, it is essential to

use appropriate and approved research methods in order to maintain credibility.

Transferability

To ensure that research foundation and data construct a context of study, consider the question of

transferability. Transferability help to complete face analysis in question, and to guide comparison and

contrast (Shenton, 2004). We will make sure to properly adopt the phenomenological research approach,

apply the purposive sampling technique, preventive measures, and detailed descriptions of the

phenomenon under study in order to establish transferability. We'll prove this by showing readers how the

study's findings could be used in other situations, circumstances, historical periods, and demographics.

This will be proved throughout the study by providing a real-life scenario in which the issue

affects more than one civilization, as witnessed by the fact that it does so on a global scale, as indicated

in the introduction. The study would be helpful to anyone who wants to understand more about the

challenges experienced by Filipino workers' children living abroad.

Dependability

The convergence of research approaches is dependability. Dependability is another quality that

permits additional assessments and potential study replication. (Shenton, 2004). It is emphasized that

standard qualitative techniques like triangulation, and audit trails are used to increase dependability.

Reliability can be ensured by keeping track of the data through interview recording, using exact transcripts,

and documenting the research processes or methods utilized in the data collection and analysis. All drafts

and transcripts will be kept in their original format.

Confirmability

Shenton (2004) claims that by assuring triangulation and confirmability, the impacts of an

investigator's preconception are lessened. According to one definition, confirmability calls for the
investigation's emphasis, not the researchers' preconceived notions, to be the source of the findings.It is

accomplished by leaving a trail that is detailed enough for the researchers to evaluate if the findings,

interpretations, and recommendations can be linked to their antecedents and whether the inquiry supports

them. It is crucial to underline the role that triangulation plays in fostering such confirmability once more in

order to lessen the effect of investigator bias in this circumstance.

Furthermore, during the interview, the participant's responses to the study's questions will be

recorded in order to evaluate their consistency with the study's findings. Confidentiality surrounding the

participants' identities is ensured by giving each one a pen identity. It will also be important to relisten to the

comments that were recorded using a certain equipment in order to accurately record and evaluate their

viewpoints. Before giving them back to the investigators, the informants must review the transcripts of their

responses and sign a verification form.

To this purpose, When it was feasible, the study report should explain why one strategy was

chosen over others and address the flaws of the actual procedures used. It should also identify the beliefs

that underlie the decisions and methodologies chosen. Discussions of the results should include cover

preliminary ideas that the data ultimately did not support. A significant amount of the content in relation to

these issues may come from the ongoing "reflective commentary". Once more, The reader is allowed to

assess the validity of the data and structures that come from it thanks to a clear methodological description.
