“…RRCM will conduct phases 5 and 6, supported by RAA, JW, RS, and LGP in assessing and refining the output. We will attempt the translation process through various techniques known from the metaethnography literature [22,25-29,34-37,39,44-46], for instance, by the constant comparative method, making a list of key metaphors and comparing this across all studies. Alternatively, the translation process can be by choosing an index article and translating this to another study, then translating this first translation to a third study.…”

Background Electronic health (eHealth) is a multidisciplinary and rapidly evolving field, and thus requires research focused on knowledge accumulation, curation, and translation. Cardiovascular diseases constitute a global health care crisis in which eHealth can provide novel solutions to improve the efficiency and reach of self-management support for patients where they most need it: their homes and communities. A holistic understanding of eHealth projects focused on such case is required to bridge the multidisciplinary gap formed by the wide range of aims and approaches taken by the various disciplines involved. Objective The primary objective of this review is to facilitate a holistic interpretation of eHealth projects aimed at providing self-management support of cardiovascular diseases in the natural setting of patients, thus priming the use of remote monitoring technologies. The review aims to synthesize the operationalization of frameworks, models, and theories applied to the research and development process of eHealth. Methods We will use Noblit and Hare’s metaethnography approach to review and synthesize researchers’ and practitioners’ reports on how they applied frameworks, models, and theories in their projects. We will systematically search the literature in 7 databases: Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ACM Digital Library, and the Cochrane Library. We will thoroughly read and code selected studies to extract both raw and contextual data for the synthesis. The relation of the studies will be determined according to the elements of the frameworks, models, or theories the studies applied. We will translate these elements between each other and intend to synthesize holistic principles for eHealth development for the case at hand. Results The search strategy has been completed, data extraction is almost finalized, and the first synthesis approaches are underway. The search yielded 1224 citations and, after we applied the selection criteria, 17 articles remained. We expect to submit the final results for publication in 2019. Conclusions This review is important because it aims to create a holistic understanding of a multidisciplinary topic at the crossroads of eHealth, cardiovascular diseases, and self-management. The value of metaethnography in contrast to other systematic review methods is that its synthesis approach seeks to generate a new understanding of a topic, while preserving the social and theoretical contexts in which findings emerge. Our results will show how useful this method can be in bridging the multidisciplinary gap of eHealth research and development, to inform and advance the importance of holistic approaches, while showcasing this approach for the case of self-management in cardiovascular diseases.

“…This is considered to be the first meta-ethnography focused on bridging knowledge from multidisciplinary fields of science to better understand and improve eHealth research and development approaches. The review made great efforts to follow a thorough, systematic, multilevel approach , adhere to recently developed guidelines (France, Cunningham, et al, 2019), and be informed by similar studies (Atkins et al, 2008;Borgnakke, 2017;Britten et al, 2002;Britten & Pope, 2012;Cahill et al, 2018;Campbell et al, 2011;Erasmus, 2014;Malpass et al, 2009;Morton et al, 2017;Noblit & Hare, 1988;Siau & Long, 2005;Toye et al, 2013;Toye et al, 2014). Although the number of papers included was relatively low, meta-ethnography is a complex methodology and synthesis process that entails numerous challenges and limitations (Noyes et al, 2018).…”

This methodology paper presents how the application of grounded theory (GT) allowed the incorporation of additional data sources from what began as a systematic literature review (SLR) aimed at developing a counselling skills competencies framework for non‐career counsellors who provide counselling in a variety of care settings. This involved inclusion of purposive research material from experts with a wide range of relevant experience and critical input compensating for the limitations of the systematic review. GT provided the necessary analytic steps, and the paper discusses how the application of the constant comparative analysis procedure assured in‐depth analysis of the data from the systematic review, empirical data suggested by expert participants, researcher reflexivity, and critique and feedback from independent experts. Overall, this mixed‐methods approach enabled an expansion of relevant data and led to the construction of a framework for counselling skills organised into five key categories. A core group of practitioners and academics (CG) engaged in open and axial coding, holding in mind the goals of the project. Critical assessment and scrutiny through dialogue and reflection achieved saturation and agreement of the final framework. This meticulous process was inclusive of the views of experts in the field of counselling and led to an integrated framework of counselling skills for individuals in various care settings (nursing homes, NHS and social care services, charitable community projects, etc.). The paper shows that grounded theory allowed expansion of the data field and demonstrates how this approach added rigour and reliability to the developing framework.
