Standardized systematic search strategies facilitate rigor in research. Current tools focus on retrieval of quantitative In this article we address issues relating to using existing strategy tools, most typically the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) formulation for defining key elements a review question, when searching qualitative and mixed methods research studies. An alternative tool qualitative/mixed is outlined: SPIDER (Sample, Phenomenon Interest, Design,...
The GRADE-CERQual (‘Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research’) approach provides guidance for assessing how much confidence to place findings systematic reviews qualitative research (or evidence syntheses). has been developed support use syntheses decision-making, including guideline development and policy formulation. Confidence is an assessment extent which a review finding reasonable representation phenomenon interest. CERQual transparent framework individual...
Systematic review has developed as a specific methodology for searching for, appraising and synthesizing findings of primary studies, rapidly become cornerstone the evidence-based practice policy movement. Qualitative research traditionally been excluded from systematic reviews, much effort is now being invested in resolving daunting methodological epistemological challenges associated with trying to move towards more inclusive forms review. We describe our experiences, very diverse...
Simon Lewin and colleagues present a methodology for increasing transparency confidence in qualitative research synthesis.
Interdisciplinary team work is increasingly prevalent, supported by policies and practices that bring care closer to the patient challenge traditional professional boundaries. To date, there has been a great deal of emphasis on processes work, in some cases, outcomes. This study draws two sources knowledge identify attributes good interdisciplinary team; published systematic review literature perceptions over 253 staff from 11 community rehabilitation intermediate teams UK.

We aimed to compare three methods appraising qualitative papers that were candidates inclusion in a systematic review on support breast-feeding. Method: A sample 12 breast-feeding was by six reviewers using methods: unprompted...
The GRADE-CERQual (Confidence in Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research) approach has been developed by the GRADE (Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) Working Group. to support use findings qualitative evidence syntheses decision making, including guideline development policy formulation. CERQual includes four components for assessing how much confidence place reviews research (also referred as syntheses): (1) methodological limitations, (2) coherence, (3)...
Guideline developers are increasingly dealing with more difficult decisions concerning whether to recommend complex interventions in and highly variable health systems. There is greater recognition that both quantitative qualitative evidence can be combined a mixed-method synthesis this helpful understanding how complexity impacts on specific contexts.

The aim of this study was to provide guidance improve the completeness and clarity meta-ethnography reporting.Evidence-based policy practice require robust evidence syntheses which can further understanding people's experiences associated social processes. Meta-ethnography is a rigorous seven-phase qualitative synthesis methodology, developed by Noblit Hare. used widely in health research, but reporting often poor quality discourages trust use its findings. needed quality.The eMERGe...
