Abstract

The concept of metasynthesis has been addressed by several authors who agree that is a way of integrating qualitative research findings in order to achieve a new interpretation that explains any given phenomenon with a higher level of scientific evidence. This paper presents the conceptual and methodological approach of the proposal by Sandelowski and Barroso, using as an example the application of this method in a study of meta-synthesis of quality of life among caregivers for people with chronic disease.
