Abstract:

This article aims to present the use of triangulation in qualitative research as a strategy to achieve the proposed objectives, to guarantee credibility, reliability and greater scientific accuracy in its achievement. In this sense, triangulation - for not restricting itelf to the use of only one method, theory, data source or researcher in the process of analyzing a phenomenon - allows the apprehension of a given realityseveral angles, enabling confrontation of information, in order to minimize bias resultinga single analytical perspective. In this way, with the intention of evidencing the possibilities of using such a methodological design, we used as an example a qualitative study about experiences of caregivers for patients with head and neck neoplasia, developed through multiple triangulation, namely: methodological triangulation (intra-method), data, researcher and environmental. When demonstrating a structured study, in the form of triangulation, the aim is to guide researchers interested in conducting qualitative studies with a greater depth and methodological rigor in qualitative research.
