From synthesis to script: transforming qualitative research findings for use in practice

Qual Health Res. 2006 Dec;16(10):1350-70. doi: 10.1177/1049732306294274.

Abstract

Although qualitative research synthesis has secured a place in the evidence-based practice movement, little effort has as yet been directed toward translating the results into material form for practice. The authors transformed a qualitative research synthesis of findings pertaining to stigma in HIV-positive women into a script and DVD. The process of transformation entailed bringing together the norms and imperatives of scientific research, clinical practice, and artistic presentation.
