So we need to differentiate between the two ture based methodology – designing a research project where existing literature is the population where the researcher needs to go for: sampling data collection data analysis tutes two types1. Traditional literature review [also known as narrative or tion: “ a scientific tool which can be used to summarise, appraise and communicate the results and implications of otherwise unmanageable quantities of research” [ crd report 4: 2001]philosophical basis:positivism – quantitative methodologypurpose:to synthesise the results of a number of small ale: small studies- design may be rigorous but may lack statistical power to show significant ology: quantitative approach may include meta-analysis [the specific statistical method to combine results from different studies into single summary estimate for quick reference].

Research process research problem research question[s] carrying out the review- searching the data - critical analysis of the data - combining and synthesising the databasically it is a: reanalysis of results reanalysis of findingsmethod of data analysis descriptive data extraction tool. Methodology in its own right epistemological basis:interpretivism: comprehensive reviewmay combine positivist criticism here is: methodological- not based on explicit specified method no clear cut steps in key issue: to ensure that the quality and rigour of the research is demonstrated and the link is made apparent from beginning to are the students required to do?

Students in the gical issuesthe process should be the same as empirical designfour main considerations:1) defining the research problem and posing the research question2) overview of the literature to support the study3) methodology – design of the study4) ethics and ethical approval. The research problem [ may come from practice ]examples may be as issue with: domestic violence patient experience with obesity transition to motherhood postnatal depression attending to patients spiritual needs effective communication with the research question: may start with reflecting on a particular issue from practice that the student has observed.

Search terms reviewing the search terms, data ion criteria- defines the boundaries of the study type of data – research papers to include both qualitative and quantitative methodology language and context time frame- e.

Data extraction tool + a theoretical data extraction toolcan be constructed by using: a combination of research critique frameworks precise identification of the information to be can it do?

Suri [10] has recently retooled patton’s well-known typology of purposeful sampling strategies (originally intended for primary research) for application to literature synthesis, providing a useful resource in this abstractionthe purpose of data abstraction in rigorous literature reviews is to locate and record all data relevant to the topic of interest from the full text of included publications, making them available for subsequent analysis.

In these cases, we systematically documented the modification to the form and returned to previously abstracted publications to abstract any information that might be relevant to the new logic of this strategy is analogous to the logic used in a form of research synthesis called best fit framework synthesis (bffs) [23–25]. Both the strategy proposed and the bffs approach to research synthesis are notable for their rigorous and transparent means to adapt a final set of concepts to the content under ting for inconsistent terminologyan important complication affecting the abstraction process in methods overviews is that the language used by authors to describe methods-related concepts can easily vary across publications.

For example, authors from different qualitative research traditions often use different terms for similar methods-related concepts. For example, in the overview on sampling [18], we aimed to produce a comparative analysis of how multiple sampling-related topics were treated differently within and among different qualitative research traditions.
