Резюме	Field-mapping meta-ethnography combines the breadth of a field-mapping (scoping) review with the interpretive synthesis power of meta-ethnography. It first maps the full landscape of qualitative studies on a topic to understand what has been studied and how, then applies Noblit and Hare's seven-step meta-ethnographic synthesis to generate second-order and third-order constructs that represent the accumulated qualitative evidence across that field.	Meta-ethnography is a systematic method for synthesising findings across multiple qualitative studies by comparing and translating the conceptual frameworks and metaphors each study uses. Developed by Noblit and Hare in 1988, it produces a new interpretive account that goes beyond any single study, preserving the richness of qualitative data while generating broader theoretical insights. It is the most influential approach to qualitative evidence synthesis in health, social, and educational research.
