Meta-study is an exciting new opportunity for the analysis and synthesis of qualitative research findings. Over the last two decades, a wide range of methods and approaches originating from the social and health sciences have provided a wealth of new knowledge sources from which to develop theory. This book provides step-by-step directions for how to conduct a meta-study, as well as recommendations for tools and standards for the application of this approach. Meta-study entails an exhaustive analysis of the theory, method, and findings of research in a substantive area. These analytic processes form the foundation upon which a credible synthesis of new knowledge can be explored. Meta-study permits investigators to: * look beyond individual findings * critically interpret variations and contradictions in the body of available research * move toward the potential for knowledge synthesis The authors of this timely volume: * differentiate between meta-analysis and meta-synthesis * write in a how-to style * illustrate each step with examples from their own meta-study projects in the substantive field of chronic illness * use their own experience with performing a meta-study to explain the process, including past mistakes and retrospective insight
