Powerpoint slide showing a workshop on crafting meaningful qualitative research in an AI-Integrated Era -- led by Sarah J. Tracy

Research shows 5 major factors or resilience: 1. Accepting reality even if it's hard. 2. Asking for help. 3. Being patient; knowing what feels like forever in the moment is not. 4. Narrative that you'll grow from struggle. 5. Routine—helps to activate and provides predictability.

If you are NOT qualified to review qualitative research, please say no to the journal's request.
