作者在这篇文章中的目的是报告他们的搜索和检索工作的结果，到目前为止，在一个正在进行的研究，以开发程序，分析和解释技术进行定性的综合集成项目，使用的研究与艾滋病毒感染的妇女作为方法的情况下。对于进行定性综合集成项目的研究人员来说，理想的目标是检索一个领域的所有相关研究，而不仅仅是其中的一个样本。贝茨的模型berrypicking被用来作为框架来描述用于进行这些搜索的技术。作者特别讨论了使用书目数据库的挑战，包括选择要搜索的数据库，了解每个数据库的工作特性，开发搜索术语列表，以及细化纳入标准，以确定哪些研究包括在综合集成中。对质性研究的检索者和作者提出了建议。
The authors' purpose in this article is to report the results of their search and retrieval efforts to date in an ongoing study to develop the procedural, analytic, and interpretive techniques to conduct qualitative meta-synthesis projects, using studies on women with HIV infection as the method case. For researchers conducting qualitative meta-synthesis projects, the ideal goal is to retrieve all of the relevant studies in a field-not simply a sample of them. Bates's model of berrypicking is used as the framework to describe the techniques used to conduct these searches. The authors discuss, in particular, the challenges of working with bibliographic databases, including choosing which databases to search, learning about the idiosyncrasies of working with each database, developing a list of search terms, and refining inclusion criteria regarding which studies to include in the meta-synthesis. Recommendations are given for searchers and writers of qualitative research.
