O knihe
Meta-study is an exciting new opportunity for the analysis and synthesis of qualitative research findings. Over the last two decades, a wide range of methods and approaches originating from the social and health sciences have provided a wealth of new knowledge sources from which to develop theory.
This book provides step-by-step directions for how to conduct a meta-study, as well as recommendations for tools and standards for the application of this approach.
Meta-study entails an exhaustive analysis of the theory, method, and findings of research in a substantive area. These analytic processes form the foundation upon which a credible synthesis of new knowledge can be explored. Meta-study permits investigators to:
{ look beyond individual findings
{ critically interpret variations and contradictions in the body of available research
{ move toward the potential for knowledge synthesis
The authors of this timely volume:
{ differentiate between meta-analysis and meta-synthesis
{ write in a how-to style
{ illustrate each step with examples from their own meta-study projects in the substantive field of chronic illness
{ use their own experience with performing a meta-study to explain the process, including past mistakes and retrospective insight
