Despite the proliferation of qualitative research in the health field, concerns is the relative absence of efforts to integrate the findings from this research. Qualitative research findings contain information on the subtleties and complexities of human responses to disease and its treatment that is essential to the construction of developmentally and culturally sensitive instruments to appraise health conditions and appropriate interventions to improve them. But for qualitative research findings to matter, they must be available to researchers and practitioners in forms that are useful. Accordingly, the immediate aim of the proposed study is to develop the analytic and interpretive techniques to conduct qualitative metasynthesis projects, using research on women with HIV/AIDS as the "method case." The long-term goal is to enhance the utilization of qualitative findings as a basis for research and practice. Research on women with HIV/AIDS has been selected as the specific locus because a sufficient number of qualitative studies exist here to warrant metasynthesis and it is a field of great significance to women's health and nursing practice. HIV infection is also a priority area of Healthy People 2000. The techniques to be used to construct a systematic protocol for qualitative metasynthesis include: a) use of several information channels to retrieve studies; b) the development of tools to determine the distinctive elements and appraise the quality of each study; and c) the development of guidelines for choosing and applying the analytic, interpretative, and representational techniques to conduct and create metasynthesis. Techniques to be used to enhance the validity of the protocol include: a) the auditory trail; b) negotiation of consensual validity; c) expert peer review; and, d) application of the protocol to a "test case" (i.e., research on experiences with prenatal testing). The outcome of the his project be a user-friendly protocol for conducting qualitative metasynthesis in any domain of research and metasynthesis of qualitative findings on women with HIV/AIDS and on couples undergoing prenatal testing.

尽管卫生领域的定性研究泛滥，但担心的是相对缺乏将这项研究发现整合的努力。定性研究结果包含有关人类对疾病的微妙和复杂性及其治疗的信息，这对于在发育和文化敏感的工具上的建设至关重要，以评估健康状况和适当的干预措施以改善它们。但是，对于重要的研究结果，必须以有用的形式向研究人员和从业者使用。因此，拟议研究的直接目的是使用对患有艾滋病毒/艾滋病的妇女作为“方法案例”的研究来开发进行定性元社会项目的分析和解释性技术。 长期目标是增强定性发现作为研究和实践的基础的利用。对患有艾滋病毒/艾滋病的妇女的研究已被选为特定基因座，因为这里存在足够数量的定性研究，以保证元合成，这对妇女的健康和护理实践具有重要意义。艾滋病毒感染也是《健康人》 2000年的优先领域。用于构建定性元合成的系统方案的技术包括：a）使用多个信息渠道检索研究； b）开发了确定独特元素并评估每项研究质量的工具； c）制定选择和应用分析，解释性和代表性技术来进行和创建元合成的指南。用于提高协议有效性的技术包括：a）听觉跟踪； b）协商有效性的谈判； c）专家同行评审； d）将协议应用于“测试案例”（即，对产前测试的经验进行研究）。他的项目的结果是一种用户友好的协议，用于在对患有艾滋病毒/艾滋病的妇女以及接受产前测试的夫妇的定性发现的任何研究和元数据领域进行定性元合成。
