Text
Background: Most analysis techniques for organizing and synthesizing evidence on a complex topic are not well operationalized.
Learning objectives/goals: To demonstrate a process for organizing complex evidence in the context of findings from a realist review investigating guideline implementability.
Target group, suggested audience: Guideline developers, and health services and knowledge translation researchers with a methodological interest in learning a new strategy to work with and organize complex data sets emerging from knowledge synthesis methods.
Description of the workshop: The workshop will consist of 3 parts.
Part 1: A 30-minute presentation to introduce a novel method for organizing and synthesizing complex data in the context of a realist review aimed at identifying guideline attributes that affect their uptake. The session will also include a demonstration of the new analysis method using an online mapping tool called MindMeister.
Part 2: In a 25-minute small-group exercise, participants will have the opportunity to apply the analysis method using a data set from the example realist review. To facilitate interaction, each group will be provided with a laptop computer (equipped with the mapping tool) and a handout about the analysis method. At the end of this session, participants will be prompted to discuss their group findings and experience and to ask questions (20 minutes).
Part 3: We will wrap up the session by demonstrating how we organized the complex data set (10 minutes), and to administer a short evaluation survey to obtain feedback on the entire process (5 minutes).
