COREQ Checklist for Reporting Qualitative Research

This document is a checklist designed for reporting qualitative research, specifically the Consolidated criteria for Reporting Qualitative research (COREQ). It outlines essential items that should be included in qualitative research reports. The checklist emphasizes the importance of documenting specific details such as the characteristics of the research team, study design, and analysis findings. It includes guide questions that researchers should address, such as the credentials and personal characteristics of the interviewer, the methodological orientation of the study, participant selection, data collection methods, and the analysis process. Each item in the checklist is intended to enhance the transparency and rigor of qualitative research reporting. Researchers are instructed to report the page number in their manuscript where each item is addressed and to revise their manuscript accordingly if any items are missing. The checklist serves as a tool to ensure comprehensive reporting in qualitative studies.
