Abstract

The rapid advance of research and the worldwide proliferation of its results are an indisputable gain for the development of society, with clear translations in technological, social and human advances. This increase in studies and the dissemination of results is a challenge for researchers who, on the one hand, have access to a variety of studies on a given topic, but who are still faced with the challenge of getting the results of their research to the citizen and to the society. This difficulty cuts across all areas of knowledge and is particularly noticeable when it comes to implementing the results of qualitative studies. Despite the growing acceptance of knowledge produced in the constructivist and interpretivist research paradigms, guidelines and evidence synthesis studies continue to favor positivist models, with losses in understanding the complexity and richness of social and human phenomena, losing valuable insights for understanding events, in isolation or in complementarity with quantitative approaches. What is presented in this article aims not only to discuss research designs, but also to redefine how evidence synthesis and the respective scientific method are interconnected, to do so, and to reconsider the models that are used to transfer and implement ‘Quali knowledge’ in contexts with disparate cultural specificities and available resources
