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
