WK8: QUALITATIVE 

Systematic review – attempts to collate all empirical evidence that fits pre‐specified eligibility criteria in order to answer a specific research question

Meta-analysis – enables results from a number of studies to be combine into a common metric to determine the average effect

Integrative review – attempts to combine experimental and non-experimental studies

Qualitative review – methods for combining qualitive research studies

Systematic review benefits - Saves time, Clear methods and results, Costs very little

S - Setting

P - Perspective

I - Intervention

C - Comparison

E - Evaluation

Critical appraisal categories: Rigour, Credibility, Relevance

Meta-analysis – set of statistical techniques for combining the results from independent but like device an overall estimate of a treatment’s effect

Integrative reviews – provide review of available literature according to a clear methodological approach

Types of qualitative research: Participant observation, Interviews, Focus groups

Stages of a qualitative evidence synthesis: Maintaining quality control, Presenting findings

Meta-synthesis assumptions: Expect more from a meta-analysis than from a single qualitative investigation, Saturation of existing findings is not a priority
