Research on systemic psychology in Latin America: An integrative review with methods and data triangulation
Keywords:
systemic psychology; triangulation; structural meta-model; integrative reviewAbstract
This integrative review synthesizes convergent qualitative and quantitative data about the research on systemic psychology in Latin America, in populations without diagnosed morbidity. Eligibility criteria followed PRISMA and PICO protocols. The quality of studies was evaluated with CASP, and the synthesis method was the triangulation of methods and data. With the results from the article content analysis by means of word clouds, it was possible to contrast keywords with emerging categories and to develop a meta-synthesis, including a meta-model of the research on systemic psychology. The search was restricted to Pepsic and Web of Science databases, with a narrow focus on the theme. As the theme is inherently interdisciplinary, potential relevant studies might not have been included.
