Abstract:
The need to synthesize qualitative research in order to inform fields of study has been highlighted as a critical imperative in recent years. Since that time, there have been a number of attempts to identify methodological approaches to achieving such a goal. Despite some notable efforts in this regard, the metasynthesis research approach continues to be somewhat elusive with regard to its steps and procedures. The authors of this article describe their experience conducting a metasynthesis of qualitative research regarding transformation in chronic illness and disability. The particular emphasis of the article will be the practical strategies and procedures that assisted them in conducting the project in a rigorous and meaningful way. The authors emphasize the need for continued dialogue about strategies and procedures in metasynthesis that will aid researchers who are contemplating this complex research approach.

Abstract:
Caregivers of patients often provide key support for patients after hospitalization. This qualitative metasynthesis describes caregiver perspectives about care coordination for patients discharged from the hospital. A literature search of Ovid Medline and CINAHL completed on May 23, 2018, identified 1,546 studies. Twelve articles were included in the final metasynthesis. Caregiver perspectives about care coordination were compiled into overall themes. A subanalysis of studies in which patients were discharged with home health services was completed. Five main themes emerged related to caregiver perspectives on care coordination after hospitalization: (a) Suboptimal access to clinicians after discharge, (b) Feeling disregarded by clinicians, (c) Need for information and training at discharge, (d) Overwhelming responsibilities to manage appointments and medications, and (e) Need for emotional support. Findings from this metasynthesis suggest the need for clinicians to engage with caregivers to provide support, training, and communication after hospital discharge.

Abstract:
Poor sleep quality is a major concern and a highly prevalent symptom in fibromyalgia. We aimed to develop a metasynthesis of qualitative studies to assess how people diagnosed with fibromyalgia experience and manage poor sleep quality following the concepts of the Symptom Management Theory. The principles of metasynthesis established by Sandelowski and Barroso were utilized. A pre-planned comprehensive search was implemented in PubMed, Scopus, ISI WebofScience, and Cinahl Plus databases. The methodological quality was assessed following the CASP Qualitative Checklist. The findings of the studies were subjected to a metasummary and a metasynthesis. Seventeen studies were included in the metasynthesis. Two overarching themes were pre-established: (1) experience of poor sleep quality in Fibromyalgia and (2) poor sleep quality management strategies in Fibromyalgia. Four sub-themes emerged from the results: (1) evaluation of poor sleep quality, (2) response to poor sleep quality, (3) management strategies to favor sleep, and (4) managing the consequences of a sleepless night. Poor sleep quality is a severe and disabling symptom that negatively impacts the general health status of people diagnosed with FM. Prescribed treatments are commonly seen as ineffective and self-management strategies are a last resort and do not show beneficial effects.

Abstract:
From its origins in the 1990s, the qualitative health research metasynthesis project represented a methodological maneuver to capitalize on a growing investment in qualitatively derived study reports to create an interactive dialogue among them that would surface expanded insights about complex human phenomena. However, newer forms positioning themselves as qualitative metasynthesis but representing a much more technical and theoretically superficial form of scholarly enterprise have begun to appear in the health research literature. It seems imperative that we think through the implications of this trend and determine whether it is to be afforded the credibility of being a form of qualitative scholarship and, if so, what kind of scholarship it represents. As the standardization trend in synthesis research marches forward, we will need clarity and a strong sense of purpose if we are to preserve the essence of what the qualitative metasynthesis project was intended to be all about.

Abstract:
Estimates on the prevalence of childhood sexual abuse on boys vary from 8% to 35% globally. These figures are known to be well below the actual numbers that are believed to be much higher than those found in official data. Most cases of childhood sexual abuse are never reported, boys are less likely to report sexual abuse and if they ever do, they do so up to 10-20 years later than girls with similar experiences. This metasynthesis adds to the scarce qualitative literature on coping of male victims. It brings together the types of coping strategies men with histories of childhood sexual abuse use and allows for deeper understanding on how men cope with childhood sexual abuse. Aim: To explore coping strategies used by men who have been affected by childhood sexual abuse  Method: A qualitative metasynthesis Findings: Men affected by childhood sexual abuse reported the use of several coping strategies throughout their lives. These coping strategies were adapted to changes in their social environment. Meaningful inter-personal relationships were found to influence which coping strategies victims would resort to. Not all men felt affected by their experiences of childhood sexual abuse and some reject to be labelled as victims, while others felt empowered by the recognition of their victimhood. Conclusion: Men reported using similar coping strategies in different settings, but with different outcomes. Social support and social awareness about male victimisation were found to affect coping strategies used by men who have been affected by childhood sexual abuse.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the experiences of men in the context of pregnancy and fatherhood using qualitative methodologies. It is presented as three papers, 1) a literature review; 2) an empirical study and 3) a personal and critical reflection of the processes involved in conducting the research.The literature review contains a systematic review of qualitative studies pertaining to men’s experiences during their partners’ pregnancy. The findings of 13 studies were synthesised to develop a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon and to offer new insights. Noblitt & Hare’s (1998) approach was used to construct five overarching themes which housed a total of 10 sub-themes. The synthesis is the first of its kind which solely focuses on men’s experiences of pregnancy; the inter-related themes represent a temporal trajectory, from early to late pregnancy, of the emotional, psychological and social changes that men may experience during their transitory journey. Similarities between the experiences of fathers and mothers are also highlighted, and are used to inform the clinical recommendations made for health visitors and midwives in providing antenatal services.The empirical study is a qualitative investigation into the lived experiences of 10 first-time fathers during their first year; it is based on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA; Smith, 1996). Through in-depth semi-structured interviews, six super-ordinate themes were identified which contained a total of 21 sub-ordinate themes which composed a detailed description and thorough understanding of the participants’ personal worlds. The findings support the existing literature as well as offer new insights; using contemporary Transition Theory (Draper, 2003) as a theoretical framework, the birth of a man’s baby does not mark the start of his transitional journey but a continuation of it, with many experiences carrying over from pregnancy into parenthood. Participants talk about the type of support they would have valued in the antenatal period. Recommendations are made as to how antenatal services can be adapted to meet the needs of expectant fathers and mothers. The findings are particularly relevant to clinicians who routinely work with expectant couples, as there are similarities as well as differences between the experiences and needs of fathers and mothers. The third paper is a personal and critical reflection the processes involved in carrying out the research project. It contains critical discussions on the various aspects of the research including, rationale for chosen qualitative approaches, epistemological assumptions, recruitment issues, the interviews process, data analysis. Interwoven throughout this paper are personal reflections which draw parallels between the theoretical processes and practical skills used as a researcher conducting qualitative research and as a clinical psychologist. The paper highlights how the author has developed as both a researcher and clinician. When held in mind and used appropriately, the skill set of researcher and therapist can be used in synergy to complement one another.

Abstract:
La méthode qualitative est en plein essor en médecine et particulièrement en psychiatrie, où la place du sujet, et ses représentations de la maladie et du soin sont centrales dans la prise en charge. Dans le champ de la santé de l'adolescent, de grands travaux permettent des avancées importantes dans la compréhension de la souffrance et les propositions de soins. Les méthodes qualitatives sont pourtant souvent critiquées de par leur contextualité et leur manque de pouvoir de généralisation. Une façon d'améliorer ces deux aspects consiste à appareiller les études traitant la même problématique de manière à en synthétiser les principaux résultats. Cet exercice de synthèse, notablement différent de celui de méta-analyse propre à la recherche quantitative, est réalisé depuis longtemps dans le champ des sciences humaines. Il s'agit de la métasynthèse, ou meta-ethnography. L'exercice de synthèse de la littérature est aujourd'hui de plus en plus codifié en recherche scientifique. Pourtant, certains points sont toujours en discussion - critères d'inclusion des études, critères de qualité des études-. De plus, aucune équipe psychiatrique ne s'est approprié l'outil de la métasynthèse pour l'adapter à la discipline. Ce travail décrit les étapes de la construction et de l'adaptation, à partir du corpus existant, d'une méthode rigoureuse, effective, simple à transposer et enseigner, permettant la métasynthèse de données de la littérature dans le domaine du soin psychique de l'adolescent. Il s'agit d'une part d'une réflexion théorique, épistémologique et méthodologique sur les métasynthèses et leur adaptation au champ de la clinique psychiatrique. Il s'agit d'autre part d'une construction pratique, réalisée à partir de métasynthèses effectuées sur des thématiques du soin psychique de l'adolescent. Les deux premiers articles sont deux travaux de métasynthèse. Le premier concerne l'obésité de l'adolescent. Les résultats obtenus mettent en lumière les limites de la méthode utilisée. Le deuxième article s'intéresse à la question des comportements suicidaires à l'adolescence. Les enseignements méthodologiques du premier article ont permis de perfectionner la méthode de métasynthèse. Enfin, le troisième article propose une description détaillée des étapes de la méthode construite. En discussion, nous proposons de resituer la méthode de la métasynthèse dans le contexte historique du niveau de preuve scientifique. Nous illustrons avec les articles les plus récents les liens toujours plus forts qui se construisent entre la méthode de la métasynthèse, aujourd'hui appelée Qualitative Evidence Synthesis, et la médecine fondée sur les preuves. La métasynthèse est une méthode moderne, qui montre tout son intérêt dans la recherche médicale. Notre méthode appliquée à la psychiatrie de l'adolescent est rigoureuse et fiable, et permet d'accroître la connaissance scientifique et d'améliorer la prise en charge des patients
Qualitative research is expanding fast in medicine and especially in psychiatry, where the patient and his representations of illness and care are central to treatment. In the field of adolescent health, great work provides important advances in the understanding of suffering and care. Qualitative methods are however often criticized because of their contextuality and their lack of generalization power. One way to improve these aspects is to match studies addressing the same issue so as to synthesize the main results. From a long time, human sciences have taken hold of this exercise of synthesis, which is significantly different from meta-analysis of quantitative research. They have called this work metasynthesis or meta-ethnography. The literature synthesis exercise is now increasingly codified in scientific research. However, some points are still under discussion - For example, inclusion criteria for studies, study quality criteria -. Moreover, no metasynthesis exist in the field of psychiatric research. This work describes the stages of construction and adaptation of a simple, rigorous, efficient, easy to share and teach method, which enables to do qualitative data synthesis in the field of psychological care to adolescents. On the one hand, we propose a theoretical, epistemological and methodological reflection on metasyntheses and their adaptation to the field of psychiatric care. On the other hand, we describe a practical progression: our method is built from metasyntheses conducted on two themes of adolescent psychological care. The first two papers are both metasyntheses. The first one is about adolescent obesity. The results highlight the limitations of the method we used. The second article focuses on the issue of suicidal behavior in adolescence. The methodological lessons of the first article helped us to improve the meta-synthesis method. The third article provides a detailed description of each steps of the method. In discussion, we propose to situate the method of metasynthesis in the historical context of the scientific evidence. We illustrate with recent papers the increasingly strong links that exist between metasynthesis, now called Qualitative Evidence Synthesis, and Evidence-Based Medicine. The metasynthesis is a modern method. It shows its interest in medical research. Our method applied to adolescent psychiatry is rigorous and reliable, and can increase scientific knowledge and improve the care of patients

Abstract:
This thesis set out to explore the experiences of being detained and admitted to an inpatient unit. It is comprised of three papers. Paper one and paper two have been prepared according to the guidelines of the journal they will be submitted to. Paper one is a systematic review of the qualitative literature which has explored participants’ experiences of involuntary detention. This paper provides an update to a review previously carried out and attempts to answer some questions that the previous review were unable to answer. Databases were searched and studies were screened for their relevance. Fifteen studies were located and the results were synthesised using a standardised metasynthesis methodology. Seven overarching themes emerged, illustrating positive and negative experiences of involuntary detention and factors which impact on these experiences. The synthesis resulted in clear recommendations for clinical practice and future research. Paper two is a qualitative study which sought to explore the experiences of detention under the Mental Health Act for anorexia nervosa. Four participants were inpatients and under the Mental Health Act at the time of interview and eight participants had been discharged. A grounded theory analysis revealed four overarching themes which capture their experiences over time and how these experiences impact on a person’s recovery. The findings have been incorporated into a framework and are discussed in relation to existing literature. The paper outlines recommendations for clinical practice and future research. Paper three is a critical appraisal of the overall research process. It draws on the researcher’s reflective journal to highlight the theoretical, methodological, personal challenges and learning outcomes which the researcher encountered. It discusses the clinical implications in relation to the researcher’s future career as a clinical psychologist within the NHS, as well as the wider implication for the profession as a whole.

Abstract:
Paper one is a metasynthesis of studies exploring mothers' experiences of recovery from postnatal mental illness. Four databases were systematically searched using key words and index terms to identify the qualitative literature exploring mothers' experiences of recovery from postnatal mental illness. Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were critically appraised and synthesised. These papers reported the views of 395 women's experiences of recovery from postnatal mental illness. Five core themes emerged from the synthesis to describe four key processes that facilitate recovery. This experience begins with recognising the problem through crisis and relational distress. Women then go through the process of seeking help which consists of subthemes of accepting help and help to access help. The next process in the in the journey is achieving recovery which includes subthemes of sharing with others like me, coping strategies and noticing recovery. The final process of maintaining recovery consists of incorporating coping strategies into daily life; acquiring a different model of motherhood and processing the experience. The role of the family was interwoven through each stage of recovery. Recommendations were made for professionals who come into contact with this group of women and their families. The review highlighted gaps in the existing evidence and made recommendations for future research. The findings and limitations were discussed with reference to the existing literature. Paper two explored the role of the baby in 12 mothers' experiences of recovery from psychosis after childbirth. A thematic analysis of the data identified three core themes that described the role of the baby in the mothers' recovery. Findings revealed that the baby was central to women's recovery and could be experienced as both helpful and unhelpful. The baby interacted with the mother; increasing self efficacy and reducing emotional distress. The baby could act as a barrier to recovery by increasing the women's emotional distress and hindering access to help and self care. The findings recommended that women receive specialist treatment in mother and baby units where they can access interventions that support parent-infant interactions. The findings of the study add to the existing evidence base on recovery from psychosis after childbirth and highlighted areas for future research. Paper three is a critique of the research carried out in Papers one and two. This paper discussed the rationale for the research design in both papers. Approaches to data sampling and data analysis are reviewed with reference to researcher reflexivity. The search strategy and critical appraisal of techniques of the metasynthesis are also critiqued. Paper three closes with personal reflections and conclusions drawn from both papers.

Abstract:
The thesis sought to explore the experience of caring for an individual with an eating disorder. It is comprised of three standalone papers. Paper one and two have been prepared for submission to a journal and in accordance with the journal guidelines. Paper one is a systematic literature review synthesising qualitative studies relating to the experience and impact of caring for, or living with an individual with an eating disorder. Databases were systematically searched and twenty studies were included in the review. Nine core themes emerged from the meta-synthesis. Eating disorders were found to have a pervasive impact on family members mediated by a number of factors. Cognitive appraisals affected the caregiving experience and responses to the individual. The experience of caregiving was continually reappraised leading to a process of adaptation over time. Paper two is a qualitative study which sought to examine caregivers’ accounts of managing Anorexia Nervosa with an emphasis on accommodation responses. Eight participants were interviewed and transcripts were analysed using a grounded theory approach. A theory of the processes by which accommodation responses operate was developed which emphasised the importance of caregivers’ emotional resources in mediating responses. Difficulty managing anorexia nervosa led to low perceived efficacy and diminished resources. Subsequently caregiving aims shifted in line with accommodation responses. Carers recognised accommodation as counterproductive to recovery and experienced internal conflict (dissonance) which was reduced using a number of cognitive and behavioural strategies. The clinical implications of the findings are discussed with reference to existing literature. Paper three is a critical review of the research process, focusing on the experience of undertaking qualitative research. Personal reflections of the process, as well as the implications of the research for the researcher’s professional practice and for the wider profession are discussed.

Abstract:
This thesis 'The Symphony of Care' consists of four studies focusing on care relationships between patients and professional caregivers. Care relationships are central to the health process and a fundamental element in caregiving. The term care relationship is widely used in caring science but lacks a clear definition, which can create misunderstanding and can constitute an obstacle when attempting to optimize care relationships. The aim of this thesis is to describe the phenomenon of care relationships in order to add to the body of knowledge in caring science.The main research questions are: • What is a care relationship within the caring science field? • How can a care relationship be optimized to improve its caring function, in order to promote health? The ontological foundation of this thesis is caring science. Phenomenology and Lifeworld theory are used as its epistemological bases. Reflective Lifeworld Research is used as a methodological approach. The four studies were conducted in different contexts and cultures- the first two empirical studies were performed in China and the remaining two, a metasynthesis and a secondary analysis, were carried out in a Swedish context. The results show that care relationships are temporary intentional relationships between a person who needs help and a helper. The purpose of this relationship is to support the patient in his/her dynamic health process, which is unique for each person in different times and contexts. Care relationships are fragile because the patient is vulnerable and the demand on the helper is great. It is an inter-human relationship between equals, which can at the same time be an asymmetric relationship due to the professionalism with the caregiver and the vulnerability with the patient. A care relationship is not independent, but is affected by internal factors such as the two individuals' lifeworlds and external factors such as health policies, organization, economics, health culture and environment. To optimize the effectiveness of caring, the relationship and its surrounding need to be in harmony. The view of care relationships should be broadened to include the external resources in order to optimize their caring potential.

Full text
Abstract:
The first step that I took in preparing myself to undertake what is in essence a piece of epistemological research was to divide the psychological therapies into two: the potentiality paradigm and the pathology paradigm. The former is based upon the potentiality model articulated by person-centred theorists like Dave Mearns and Brian Thorne, which is essentially a growth model, whilst the latter reflects a form of therapy that recognises people according to what may be considered 'wrong with' or 'deficient about' them, such as operates in the disciplines of medicine and clinical psychology. The main focus of this piece of research was to determine the epistemology that is at work with what actually goes on in the practice of potentiality paradigm therapy. In order to achieve this, I set about identifying, reading, analysing and eventually coding the most epistemologically rich writings that I could find from mainstream authors on potentiality paradigm therapy from the professional and the academic literature. It became clear from this analysis that the heart of what was actually going on in the practice of potentiality paradigm therapy as articulated in these theoretical writings could be coded into three main discourses: an experiential discourse, a relational discourse and a hermeneutic discourse, each of which I have considered to represent an epistemological discourse for the purposes of this piece of research. My next question was to ask myself how these discourses set about articulating the potentiality paradigm with respect to the practice of the psychological therapies, and the answer came back that they articulated the potentiality paradigm best when they worked concertedly rather than discretely. Indeed, it soon became apparent that the human brain integrates and synthesises the data that it receives by way of these three central discourses, and so it seemed only appropriate that I should work towards expressing these findings by creating a qualitative meta-synthesis of these three discourses: the experiential, the relational and the hermeneutic, which is exactly what I did. The epistemological mechanism by which these three discourses are integrated and synthesised needs to reflect the way in which the human brain integrates and synthesises the data that it receives, and the name given to this epistemological mechanism is dialectical constructivism. This is included along with the three epistemological discourses - the experiential, the relational and the hermeneutic - in the creative and interpretive synthesis in which this piece of research culminates, and is followed by an illustrative worked example showing how these discourses articulate the potentiality paradigm - concertedly - with respect to the practice of the psychological therapies. One of the advantages of applying this meta-model to the way in which we look at potentiality paradigm therapy is that it may be used to free us up to practice in the more dialogical ways which have been becoming increasingly favoured by practitioners in recent times. With our view of potentiality paradigm therapy mediated by this meta-model, we may find it easier to traverse across what many practitioners have tended to view as theoretical boundaries. It could also be viewed as a move towards a more functional and less structural form of governance or regulation, as expressed by Mearns and Thorne.

This thesis explores communication with children affected by sickle cell disease about their condition from the perspectives of both children and parents. It includes three papers: A literature review, an empirical paper and a critical appraisal. Papers one and two have been prepared for submission to Social Science and Medicine and Qualitative Health Research, respectively. Paper one is a meta-synthesis of qualitative literature investigating experiences of communication from the perspective of children with sickle cell disease. A systematic literature search revealed nine relevant papers, which were synthesised by extracting findings related to communication about sickle cell disease. Children were found to receive inconsistent messages about their condition from different personal and professional groups. Communication about the prognosis of sickle cell disease and the social acceptability of the condition differed across the groups. The implications for children's understandings of their condition and their adjustment are discussed. Paper two presents an empirical study of parental communication experiences with children affected by sickle cell disease. Twelve interviews were conducted and subject to inductive thematic analysis which was applied within a contextualist epistemological framework. Parents described skills in 'coaching' their child to negotiate the various challenges associated with managing sickle cell disease. They also described ways in which they avoided challenging topics of communication such as inheritance, the risk of comorbid disease and the life-long nature of the condition. The findings suggest a need for healthcare professionals to support parents in overcoming barriers to talking about difficult topics. This may facilitate more consistent communication between parents and professionals, which has implications for improving child wellbeing and adjustment. Paper three is a reflective piece and is not intended for publication. It critically evaluates papers one and two and discusses the joint implications of the findings for research and clinical practice. Reflections on the experience of conducting a meta-synthesis and an empirical qualitative study are offered in the context of personal and professional development.
