ABSTRACT
As a study of morality, ethics is primarily practical philosoph y, which task is not precisely to resolve conflicts, but to rais e them. The respectability of qualitative research is a fundamental aspect that researchers must guarantee permanently and that health professionals should assess before using the findings of the studies. When we say quality of research we refer to the methodological rigor with which it has been designed and developed, and, as a result of this, to how we can trust the accuracy of the results achieved. In general, the idea of quality of research is therefore associated with the credibility of the work performed. Quality standards to assess the rigor and scientific character of qualitative studies and for which there is partial agreement are: credibility, confirmability or auditability, and transferability or applicability.REFERENCES
