A new methodology in health care
Recently, health care policymakers and practitioners have recognised the potential contribution of qualitative research to support decision making. Different methodological approaches have been developed and used in practice. Some approaches have focused on the inclusion of qualitative data only. Others have experimented with the integration of both quantitative and qualitative research results, or have been used to complement results from quantitative reviews.
This book provides the first overview of commonly used qualitative synthesis approaches in health care, with worked examples illustrating how appropriate methods are used in different situations. The methods covered include:
* Meta-aggregation
* Meta-ethnography
* Critical interpretive synthesis
* Realist review
* Mixed methods approach
* Bayesian approaches to the synthesis of qualitative and quantitative research findings
Written by experienced researchers from three continents, Synthesising Qualitative Research is an authoritative yet accessible introduction to these new methodologies and will be an invaluable tool to all who are involved in systematic reviewing. It aims to guide and assist researchers and professionals in choosing the right approach for their particular review projects.
