Over the past twenty years, qualitative research has gained recognition as a useful approach to scientific inquiry on issues related to health and health care, including those of particular interest to psychogeriatrics. This is evidenced not only by the inclusion of health-related qualitative reports in exclusively qualitative publications but also by their acceptance in venues that have traditionally favored quantitative methods of investigation (Sandelowski, 2004). The increased number of these reports has also led in recent years to systematic reviews of qualitative studies and qualitative metasyntheses, metaethnography or meta-analyses (Nygard, 2004;Smith et al., 2005; Steeman et al., 2006).
