Abstract
Objectives:
By the end of the workshop participants should be able to: 1. Select from a series of existing critical appraisal instruments for qualitative research 2. Assess the quality of a qualitative primary research paper using a checklist approach 3. Extract descriptive data from a qualitative primary research paper 4. Prepare and/or use a template for extracting findings from qualitative research papers.
Description:
In this workshop we will present and discuss the features and criteria of commonly used critical appraisal instruments. Participants will then engage in a critical appraisal of a qualitative research paper, with a particular focus on the methods section. They will be offered a template against which to extract descriptive data from a research paper. Several options for data-extraction will be discussed and linked to particular approaches to synthesis. Participants will be faciltated to choose between these options or to develop their own template and initiate data-extraction for at least two qualitative research papers.
