Matrix-

questions to ask

  • can i do it internationally- yes, is it more in that country- why is more research done there?, why excluding specific countries- 3rd world, not similar policies- quote ‘scoping review, litriture review’ find info in there saying why not also included uk or why they decided to to thoes countries and can use that for the justification, basically reference justification to why used international, even see if the reason for the justifying reason atricle says there is a large amount of EMCS or if it a larger issue in this country, lack of info in uk see if it says in article

  • the perception of (birth trauma), PTSD after having (ELCS vs EMCS) (EMCS)

  • has to be international due to lack of info on just uk

  • international- europe and countries close in health care to uk

  • how to do matrix- the info where we whittle down articles- how do i explain how i choose - articles, does it have to be where you say these key words gave me these results etc

  • do prisma in matrix- how found

  • can look through reference list of other atricles- snowballing


what is matrix-

  • table on 8 articles summary

  • to help with writing essay- critically analysing

  • help with identifying theses and gaps

  • When analysing look at ‘characteristics’ of sample- ethnicity, age, socioeconomic

  • implications- how could change guidelines- if could benefit total population, what has been found- more training, change in guideline, change in technique, more resources- change what is happening


strengths and weaknesses of methodology-

  • if used questionnaire how did they use it- open questions or closed questions- was that the best for that type of questions

  • did it allow best use to capture data

  • if used closed questions but is looking at woman’s experiences was it better ti have an interview

  • is it rigorous and transparent

Weakness-

  • may introduce bias depending on approach

  • limited generalisability

  • data-collection timely and costly

  • research interpretations may influence findings

  • ethical practice constrains may limit data collection
