I tried to redirect you earlier when you were putting together your scientific poster. A meta-synthesis is a very sophisticated form of research and is not something that you want to do for your first attempt at putting together a study. The difference between a meta-synthesis (qualitative) and a meta-analysis (quantitative) is one is analyzing qualitiative research studies and the other is analyzing quantitative studies on a specific research problem. Like all research, a meta-synthesis begins with a research question. Your review of literature would be what qualitative studies have addressed your research question. For example, if your question is what are nurse practitioners’ perceptions about managing patients with schizophrenia? then your review of literature would be all studies that addressed your question. Once you have done a ROL you will analyze and synthesize these studies to determine if there are common themes that may add to our body of knowledge. Before you can do a meta-synthesis, you should be experienced in conducting qualitative research.
I strongly suggest that you redo your paper and expand what you have already done for your scientific poster. As it stands, you cannot earn an A on your written proposal. Read about doing qualitative research in your Polit
