Meta-synthesis is a research methodology that involves synthesizing and integrating the findings from multiple qualitative studies on a specific topic or research question. It goes beyond simply summarizing individual studies and aims to generate new insights and understanding by identifying common themes, patterns, and relationships across the studies. Meta-synthesis typically involves a systematic review and analysis of the qualitative data and aims to provide a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the research topic. This methodology is often used in fields such as psychology, sociology, and healthcare to provide a deeper understanding of complex phenomena and inform policy and practice.
