ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The essential components of an effective neuroscience nurse orientation program for those caring the adult general care population have not been well defined or standardized. METHODS : Using a 2-round, modified Delphi methodology, electronic surveys were distributed to 53 experts in nursing gain consensus on nurse. Survey data included demographics expert, literature-based orientation, and opportunity agree/disagree write additional components. RESULTS Round 1 survey elicited response rate 55% (29/53), round 2 had 51% (27/53) rate. On basis expert responses, 4 new added, 36 revised include only elements with ≥75% agreement. Twenty-two met criteria very important as orientation. CONCLUSION An was reached necessary identified concentrated improving practice provision patients. This study demonstrates priority within standardized nurses based literature consensus. A comprehensive is vital step sustaining high-quality patients neurological outcomes.

Background While different proposals exist for a guideline on reporting Delphi studies, none of them has yet established itself in the health and social sciences across range variants. This seems critical because empirical studies demonstrate diversity modifications conduction sometimes even errors reporting. The aim present study is to close this gap formulate general guideline. Method In an international procedure, experts were surveyed online three rounds find consensus sciences. respondents selected via publications studies. preliminary guideline, containing 65 items five topics presented evaluation, had been developed based systematic review practice existing guidelines Starting second round, received feedback form mean values, measures dispersion, summary open-ended responses their own response previous round. final draft contains which at least 75% agreed by assigning scale points 6 7 7-point Likert scale.

Abstract The Delphi method is a technique of social research that seeks to obtain reliable group opinion from experts. It was first created for military purposes in the mid‐1950s. Since then, its use scientific field has continued spread different disciplines and aims. Despite this expansion, however, not set indicators quality studies yet be developed might provide reader—whether an expert or not—with some framework reference whereby gauge what credibility should afforded results study.

ACCORD (ACcurate COnsensus Reporting Document): A reporting guideline for consensus methods in biomedicine developed via a modified Delphi

medRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Год журнала: 2023, Номер unknown

Abstract Background In biomedical research, it is often desirable to seek consensus among individuals who have differing perspectives and experience. This important when evidence emerging, inconsistent, limited or absent. Even research abundant, clinical recommendations, policy decisions priority-setting may still require agreement from multiple, sometimes ideologically opposed parties. Despite their prominence influence on key decisions, methods are poorly reported. We aimed develop the first reporting guideline applicable all used in called ACCORD (ACcurate COnsensus Reporting Document). Methods followed methodology recommended by EQUATOR Network for development of guidelines: a systematic review was Delphi process meetings finalise checklist. The preliminary checklist drawn existing literature quality suggestions Steering Committee. Results A panel (n=72) recruited with representation six continents broad range experience, including clinical, patient perspectives. three rounds were completed 58, 54 51 panellists. 56 items refined final 35 relating article title (n=1), introduction (n=3), (n=21), results (n=5), discussion (n=2) other information (n=3). Conclusions consensus-based studies. It will support authors writing accurate, detailed manuscripts, thereby improving completeness transparency providing readers clarity regarding reach agreement.

Abstract Objectives Early, accurate diagnosis is crucial for the prognosis of patients with soft tissue sarcomas. To this end, standardization imaging algorithms, technical requirements, and reporting therefore a prerequisite. Since first European Society Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) consensus in 2015, achievements, further insights into specific entities, revised WHO-classification (2020) AJCC staging system (2017) made an update necessary. The guidelines are intended to support radiologists their decision-making contribute interdisciplinary tumor board discussions. Materials methods A validated Delphi method based on peer-reviewed literature was used derive among panel 46 specialized musculoskeletal from 12 countries. Statements were scored online by level agreement (0 10) during two iterative rounds. Either “group consensus,” agreement,” or “lack agreement” achieved. Results Eight sections defined that finally contained 145 statements comments. Overall, group reached 95.9%, 4.1%. This communication contains part consisting algorithm suspected tumors, local imaging, role centers. Conclusion Ultrasound represents initial triage modality accessible small tumors. MRI choice characterization most CT indicated special situations. In suspicious likely malignant specialist center should be contacted referral teleradiologic second opinion. done before performing biopsy, without exception.
