The analysis continued until data saturation and then combining the themes, the ethical model of virtual research presented based on seven components: preparing the researcher (fostering a positive attitude to virtual research, recognizing instant messaging capabilities, preparing questions, inviting participants, setting time), Teaching the interviewer the research procedures (text interviewing and its features, simultaneous interviewing for spontaneity, reviewing participants responses when writing their next response), Establishing rapport (expressing goals, principles of confidentiality, obtaining informed consent), providing basic information to participants (expressing goals and rights, how to deal with unpleasant emotions, emphasizing confidentiality), teaching procedures to participants (emphasizing Simultaneous interviewing, emphasizing volunteering Interviewing, non-imposing), recording and storing data (transferring the conversation to a Word file, editing the file, re-reading it), and research reporting (inserting a password for conversations, changing the participant's identity information before the final report).
