Applying qualitative evidence

Assess the external validity of the phenomenological experience

In relation to the qualitative results and methodological rigor from the article that has been critically appraised, ask these questions when making an applied clinical decision based on qualitative evidence:

1. Do the phenomena apply to the patient in the current clinical context?

2. Are the phenomena feasible in the current treatment environment?

​3. What are the harms and benefits associated with the phenomena?

​4. What are the patient's values and expectations related to the phenomena?
