“…As a result, visual data sets amenable to qualitative analysis can be assembled with relative ease, but the increase in scale can change the traditional terrain of qualitative analysis. Of course large data sets can be reduced and there are various strategies available for doing this, such as Q methodology (Stephenson, 1953) or other approaches to qualitative synthesis (Major and Savin--Baden, 2011), however if the intent is to survey a diverse population then this becomes challenging and any reduction or narrowing down could impact on the findings.…”

A key challenge of visual methodology is how to combine large-scale qualitative data sets with epistemologically acceptable and rigorous analysis techniques. The authors argue that a pragmatic approach drawing on ideas from mixed methods is helpful to open up the full potential of visual data. However, before one starts to ''mix'' the stages of analysis one needs to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses provided by the various qualitative and quantitative perspectives. This article therefore provides a methodological discussion based on empirical research experiences with one visual data set: Pupil Views Templates (Wall and Higgins). The authors investigate two different approaches to the analysis of these data: inductive and deductive processes. The two approaches are applied separately to the same data set and observations are made regarding the affordances and constraints of each process, and the findings and implications for developing visual analysis in this area are presented. The authors show how both processes provide useful insight, but without clear strategy as to how they can be combined to achieve the intent of the research, the true potential of visual data will remain unlocked.

“…Algunos de estos autores reconocen que, en ciertos casos, no hay una diferencia real en términos metodológicos entre los nombres encontrados y que el uso de uno u otro puede relacionarse con la experiencia de los investigadores. En otros casos, la diferencia es muy marcada y está definida por la profundidad e intención de la integración de los estudios, por ejemplo, si solo se quiere describir globalmente o reinterpretar los hallazgos (17,(23)(24)(25).…”

ResumenEn este artículo de reflexión se analizan los aspectos metodológicos y epistemológi-cos de artículos derivados de investigación cualitativa sobre el fenómeno de vivir con una terapia de sustitución de la función renal (TSFR), publicados durante los últimos años. La reflexión emerge como parte de un metaestudio sobre las TSFR. Para ello, se describen cada una de las etapas del metaestudio y algunos hallazgos que sirven para ilustrar las contradicciones y los vacíos de las publicaciones, a luz de las premisas del paradigma cualitativo de investigación. En términos generales, este análisis pone en tensión los procesos de investigación cualitativa, y su publicación, sobre las experiencias de personas en TSFR, ya que se reproducen procesos de lo cuantitativo y, sobre todo, porque se conceptualiza la salud, la enfermedad y a las personas desde la lógica positivista.Palabras clave: investigación cualitativa; métodos; metodología; práctica clínica basada en la evidencia; conocimiento Epistemological and Methodological Reflections about Qualitative Health Research on the Renal Replacement Therapy AbstractThe purpose of this reflection article is to analyze the methodological and epistemological aspects of qualitative research in recently published articles based on the phenomenon of living with a renal replacement therapy (RRT). The reflection emerges as part of a meta-study on RRT. For this purpose, each of the stages of the meta-study are described as well as some findings that illustrate the contradictions and gaps in publications, in the light of the premises of qualitative research paradigm. In general terms, this analysis creates tension in processes of qualitative research, their publication, on the experiences of people in RRT, since qualitative processes are reproduced and, above all, because health, disease and people are conceptualized from the logical positivism.

“…This study is applying the techniques of qualitative research synthesis (Major & Savin-Baden, 2011;2010;Savin-Baden & Major, 2013). This is a qualitative approach to present findings of qualitative data analysis across studies and then interpret them in relation to further themes that emerge across studies.…”

The purpose of this research synthesis is to map common themes related to learning of workers aged 50+ in knowledgeintensive professions. The research questions focus on identifying (1) the typical features of learning for senior knowledge workers and (2) what kind of organisational conditions encourage senior knowledge workers to continue learning and contributing to their work community. The techniques of qualitative research synthesis are applied in order to make sense of themes and concepts that have recurred across individual qualitative studies conducted by the group of graduate students at University of Helsinki, Finland, between 2012 and 2015. The findings indicate that self-regulation, continuity, sharing and networking are typical for learning at age 50+. The organisational conditions that enable and support such learning during the late professional career include three main things: senior knowledge workers are involved in and can influence organisational changes; they are actively participating in multi-aged collaboration and they enjoy appreciation of the organisational management.
