Meta-synthesis studies seek to understand and explain a particular phenomenon through the synthesis of individual studies conducted on a particular subject. Synthesis of the studies included in the research reveals potential research topics for the researchers. The findings obtained from the results of the study are explained and discussed in accordance with the research questions. Lastly, potential research areas are suggested for future researches.
