Prerogatives on Research Designs: Narrative Perspectives in the Literature Review
Keywords:
Methodology, Narration, Qualitative ResearchAbstract
Research designs are methodological aids that can adopt quantitative, qualitative or mixed approaches. In this context, there are narrative literature reviews which can be relevant for identifying gaps and consensus in knowledge. This study aimed to discuss the peculiarities of research designs with a focus on narrative literature reviews. It consisted of a descriptive, cross-sectional and qualitative study, conducted through a narrative literature review. Materials were retrieved from search platforms using the descriptors “research methodology”, “narrative research” and “qualitative approach”. The findings in the literature showed that narrative designs are valuable strategies in the quest to understand phenomena in their complexity and context, allowing the analysis of meanings and subjective constructions by articulating temporal and relational elements. However, the importance of argumentative clarity must be stressed in order to guarantee the scientific usefulness of the inferences produced. The conclusion is that the choice of methodological design must be based on the research problem and, in this sense, the narrative review is useful for deepening interdisciplinary discussions, valuing the researcher's perspective. However, the importance of recognizing the validity of the different models according to their purposes is reinforced.
