Metasynthesis is a technique that can help establish qualitative research as a viable source of evidence. Using this approach, results from multiple qualitative research studies on the same topic are combined and synthesized to reveal the best evidence. This article addresses metasynthesis and its application to perioperative evidence-based care. Noblit and Hare's method for synthesizing qualitative research is described and illustrated using a previously published metasynthesis of postpartum depression research.
整合分析是一种有助于将定性研究确立为可行证据来源的技术。运用这种方法,将关于同一主题的多项定性研究结果进行合并与综合,以揭示最佳证据。本文探讨整合分析及其在围手术期循证护理中的应用。文中描述了诺布利特和黑尔的定性研究综合方法,并通过之前发表的产后抑郁研究整合分析进行说明。
