原始研究的批判性评价和质量评估是系统评价和证据合成的关键阶段。这些过程是由需要确定的主要研究证据，单独和集体，应告知调查结果，并可能，实践建议。质量评估的主要定性研究仍然是一个有争议的领域。本文回顾了该领域的最新发展，从是否应该进行这种质量评估到如何进行这种评估，出现了明显的转变。它讨论了在质量评估中使用的标准以及如何在综合中使用该过程的结果。它认为，最近的研究表明，敏感性分析提供了一个潜在的有用的手段，推进这一有争议的问题。版权所有（C）2014约翰威利父子有限公司
The critical appraisal and quality assessment of primary research are key stages in systematic review and evidence synthesis. These processes are driven by the need to determine how far the primary research evidence, singly and collectively, should inform findings and, potentially, practice recommendations. Quality assessment of primary qualitative research remains a contested area. This article reviews recent developments in the field charting a perceptible shift from whether such quality assessment should be conducted to how it might be performed. It discusses the criteria that are used in the assessment of quality and how the findings of the process are used in synthesis. It argues that recent research indicates that sensitivity analysis offers one potentially useful means for advancing this controversial issue. Copyright (C) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
