Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 7 EBP 0944 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Metasynthesis
Captions available
The idea
Metasynthesis is the qualitative parallel to meta-analysis: a holistic interpretation built from the findings of individual qualitative studies.
In practice
Several studies of one experience synthesised into a fuller account of it.
Where people slip
Metasynthesis interprets; meta-analysis pools. They are parallel in position and unlike in operation, and the words are not interchangeable.
