During the course you will learn:
Introduction
-Reasons why you might want to undertake a synthesis of qualitative research
-Different types of synthesis
Methods for a synthesis of qualitative studies
How to:
- devise a good review question
- develop inclusion/exclusion criteria
- search for studies
- apply the inclusion criteria
- extract data
- quality appraise
- analysis and synthesis (different approaches including thematic synthesis and meta-ethnography)
The course will have a mixture of teaching and practical skill sessions with an emphasis on shared learning, and the development of a set of skills that should enable to undertake a review.
Level of prior learning required: it would be useful if participants had an understanding of either qualitative research, or systematic literature searching.
