Second, to ensure autoethnographic research quality, we considered Patton’s six criteriafor autoethnographic research: reflexivity, substantial contribution, aesthetic merit, expression ofa reality, impact, and relational ethics [43]. We discussed each of these constructs in detail whilewriting our counterstories and during the writing of the final paper.
