systemic review - CORRECT ANSWER-systematically identify, select, critically
appraise and synthesize research evidence to address a particular problem or
question in practice. (quantitative studies)
- standardized patient guidelines
-clarity, rigor, and replication
Meta analysis - CORRECT ANSWER-Pooling of results from several previous
studies using statistical analysis to determine the effect of an intervention or the
strength of relationships. (quantitative)
Meta-synthesis - CORRECT ANSWER-Systemic Compilation and integration of
qualitative studies to expand understanding and develop a unique interpretation of
the studies' findings in a selected health-related area. (new theory)
interpretation rather than combination of result
Mixed-methods systematic review - CORRECT ANSWER-Synthesis of the findings
