In qualitative research, the trustworthiness features consist of authenticity and credibility. Validity does not carry the same connotation as it does in quantitative research, nor is it a companion of reliability. Validity is seen as strength and it is used to suggest determining whether the findings are accurate from the standpoint of the researcher, the participant, or the readers of an account (Creswell & Miller in Rohani, p.37). To enhance the credibility and the accuracy of the findings, the following strategy will be employed.
To establish the "trustworthiness" The researchers triangulated the data obtained from the two data research instruments mentioned above.
Bergman in Rohani argues that "the idea of triangulation is to reduce the chances of reaching false conclusions" (p.23). First, the researcher conducted the Interview 10-15 minutes depending on the questions and the condition23 Then to ensure the accuracy and reliability, all the transcripts are checked by the expert of qualitative. Afterwards, the researcher sent it to the participants to be checked and approved.
