to guide policy and practice change or future research. Therefore, the thesis was done

rigorously.

Conclusion

This study was designed to capture the foundational information and understand the

context of wound management during cancer radiotherapy. The sequential separate phases

served as methods for gathering both objective and subjective data regarding the topic. Ethical

review and amendments were done in a timely manner. The researcher employed the use of

reflexive technique throughout the data collections and analysis process to augment validity and

reliability of the study findings and the interpretation of those findings. Limitations of this study

(discussed in more detail in Chapter Five) included a small sample size and single mode survey.

For this reason, the semi-structured qualitative interviews were designed to supplement and

contextualize the survey results, and the Phase IV expert consultations were initiated to build

consensus.
