题目:定量和定性研究的综合:一个使用CriticalInterpretive Synthesis的例子。目的。这篇论文是一个Critical Interpretive Synthesis的报告,以有效性评论和指南的形式,用定性研究来综合定量研究,以检查吗啡治疗癌症相关疼痛的使用。背景。Critical Interpretive Synthesis是一种新的评论方法,从元人种志发展而来,它结合了系统的审查方法与定性调查的传统。它以前没有被专门用于合成的有效性和定性literature.Data来源。现有的定量研究和指导方针的系统评价检查口服吗啡治疗癌痛的有效性进行了鉴定。2008年5月电子检索Medline、CINAHL、Embase、PsychINFO、Health Management Information Consortium数据库和Social Science Citation Index,以确定定性研究。综述方法:确定报告使用吗啡治疗癌痛的定性研究论文。有效性研究的结果被用来作为一个框架,以指导翻译的定性研究的结果,使用一个综合网格。二次翻译的定性研究的结果,而不是专门映射到有效性文献,是指导的framework.Results. 19定性论文与定量的有效性文献,产生14个合成结构。这些都发展成四个综合参数,借鉴了病人的,照顾者的和医疗保健专业人员的解释的意义和背景下使用吗啡治疗cancer pain.Conclusion.Critical解释性合成可以适应合成评论的定量研究与定性研究的有效性,并适合到现有的类型学的方法来合成定性和定量的研究。
P>Title.Synthesis of quantitative and qualitative research: an example using CriticalInterpretive Synthesis.Aim.This paper is a report of a Critical Interpretive Synthesis to synthesize quantitative research, in the form of an effectiveness review and a guideline, with qualitative research to examine the use of morphine to treat cancer-related pain.Background.Critical Interpretive Synthesis is a new method of reviewing, developed from meta-ethnography, which integrates systematic review methodology with a qualitative tradition of enquiry. It has not previously been used specifically to synthesize effectiveness and qualitative literature.Data sources.An existing systematic review of quantitative research and a guideline examining the effectiveness of oral morphine to treat cancer pain were identified. Electronic searches of Medline, CINAHL, Embase, PsychINFO, Health Management Information Consortium database and the Social Science Citation Index to identify qualitative research were carried out in May 2008.Review methods.Qualitative research papers reporting on the use of morphine to treat cancer pain were identified. The findings of the effectiveness research were used as a framework to guide the translation of findings from qualitative research using an integrative grid. A secondary translation of findings from the qualitative research, not specifically mapped to the effectiveness literature, was guided by the framework.Results.Nineteen qualitative papers were synthesized with the quantitative effectiveness literature, producing 14 synthetic constructs. These were developed into four synthesizing arguments which drew on patients', carers' and healthcare professionals' interpretations of the meaning and context of the use of morphine to treat cancer pain.Conclusion.Critical Interpretive Synthesis can be adapted to synthesize reviews of quantitative research into effectiveness with qualitative research and fits into an existing typology of approaches to synthesizing qualitative and quantitative research.
