Qualitative Metasynthesis presents a research method developed for
upcycling and synthesis of qualitative primary studies, aimed at
researchers within medicine and health sciences. This book
demonstrates how and why qualitative metasynthesis can be a method
for reuse and expansion of medical knowledge. It presents the
principles of metasynthesis as a qualitative research method, so
that the reader can assess whether this is a research strategy that
fits the aim of their study. The author offers practical advice for
conducting research using this methodology. The presentation is
illustrated by a study carried out by the author and collaborators,
reflecting on real-life challenges and solutions as an example of
meta-ethnography, one of the most frequently used strategies for
qualitative metasynthesis. The author also looks at systematic
reviews, a methodology developed within in the tradition of
evidence-based medicine, discussing strengths, weaknesses and
pitfalls of this methodology. Rooted in the interpretative
paradigm, qualitative metasynthesis challenges several of the
principles from the evidence-based medicine tradition, offering
reflections on challenges when epistemologically very different
methodologies intersect. This book should be considered essential
reading for anyone carrying out qualitative research within the
fields of medicine, health and social care.
