Explanation
The appropriate method was used for conducting this research. A qualitative descriptive
method was used to conduct the research. As opined by Bradshaw et al. (2017), the
qualitative descriptive design is relevant to use in healthcare research where information
needs to gather directly from those who are experiencing the phenomenon. In this
study, the researchers asked the participants to answer an open-ended question.
The researchers justified their choice of research design in this study. The purpose of
this study is to identify various common themes regarding the definition of moral
resilience, which can be understood differently by various professionals like nurses,
doctors, and others. So, according to researchers, a qualitative description approach was
the appropriate method that can help to achieve research goals. The qualitative
descriptive approach is appropriate for those research questions that involve gaining
insights from respondents regarding poorly understood phenomena (Kim et al. 2017).
Moreover, this research design is also appropriate where a straight description of a
problem is desired. In this study, it was mentioned that the moral resilience of inter-
professional was not much discussed or understood. Hence, a straightforward
description regarding the phenomenon can be done by using this research design.
