Of the studies that did contain synthesis, two thirds performed a narrative or a thematic synthesis. She has more than 120 publications in both nursing and social science journals and books, with over 35 refereed papers on qualitative methods alone. Quality assessment led to 14 articles of sufficient quality to be included in the meta-ethnographic findings synthesis. The meta-synthesis involved an integrative interpretation of findings from individual but interconnected qualitative datasets, following the procedures outlined by Sandelowski, Barrosso and Voils (2009) (Chenail, 2009).

Three main themes emerged: the social construction of CLBP; the psychosocial impact of the nature of CLBP; and coping with CLBP. These papers were misrepresented in the STARLITE analysis as they were not reports of studies but rather methodological papers on how to do them, as indicated in each of these papers.

One study was rated as strong, one as moderate and the remaining six as weak when assessed for quality using the Effective Public Health Practice Project tool. Survivors experience myriad negative health outcomes and legal problems, which place them in need of professional services.The social constructivist paradigm is associated with creative thinking and problem solving through collaborative learning. When the outcomes of the checklist appraisal are compared with those of the expert judgement, the effect on the strength of the evidence is virtually always in the same direction. Social constructivists contend that learning occurs through collaboration and interaction amongst learners and their peers as well as their instructors.
