A Walk through Thematic Synthesis

IIQM ATLAS ti Webinar Series Presenter: Catherine Houghton Qualitative Evidence Synthesis (QES) is becoming increasingly utilized to bring together qualitative evidence to explore the complexities of human experience. There are multiple approaches to QES including meta-ethnography, framework synthesis, and thematic synthesis. Thomas and Harden (2008) provide guidance on conducting thematic synthesis that moves beyond description to develop analytical themes. The purpose of this webinar is to walk through a worked example of thematic synthesis on a recently completed review exploring the factors that impact on recruitment to trials. I will provide examples of the stages of synthesis and illustrate how Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) can facilitate synthesis and sensitivity analysis. Webinar attendees will hopefully learn more about navigating the complexity of bringing together the worlds of qualitative research and systematic review.
