Since then, number studies been published which characterise individuals groups using data collected with this questionnaire....
Objectives To identify and understand, through data from multiple sources, some of the factors that affect authors' editors' decisions to use reporting guidelines in publication health research. Design Mixed methods study comprising an online survey semi-structured interviews with a sample authors (online survey: n = 56; response rate 32%; interviews: 5) journal editors 43; 27%; 6) involved publishing medical Participants were recruited earlier examining effectiveness TREND guideline....
Accurate and full reporting of evaluation interventions in health research is needed for evidence synthesis informed decision-making. Evidence suggests that biases incomplete affect the assessment study validity ability to include this data secondary research. The Transparent Reporting Evaluations with Non-randomised Designs (TREND) guideline was developed improve transparency accuracy behavioural public evaluations non-randomised designs. guidelines have shown they can be effective...
We assessed how the Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Nonrandomized Designs (TREND) reporting guideline was used by authors and journal editors in journals' instructions to authors. also evaluated its impact on completeness study quality.

The current explores versus tinnitus. Design: A multiple-baseline single-case experimental design was employed to observe changes within/between treatments. Six participants started a 10-week protocol were equally divided into or treatment. Participants exchanged between treatments at random time points....
A growing body of empirical evidence has consistently demonstrated that much publically and privately funded research is reported in a way makes it difficult for the findings to be included syntheses or used by researchers, clinicians, policy makers, public. Poorly studies thus represent significant waste scarce resources. Reporting guidelines are one strategy been increasingly as method improve completeness usability primary secondary across broad range disciplines including psychology. We...
In an environment of absolute silence, researchers have found many their participants to perceive phantom sounds (tinnitus). With this between-subject experiment, we aimed elaborate on these research findings, and specifically investigated whether-in line with the fear-avoidance model tinnitus perception reactivity-fear or level perceived threat influences incidence perceptual qualities sound percepts in anechoic room. We potential role individual differences anxiety, negative affect, noise...
Objectives: Tinnitus is the perception of sound without an external source, affecting quality life that can cause severe distress in approximately 1 to 3% population people with tinnitus. Randomized controlled trials cognitive behavioral therapy for tinnitus have demonstrated its effectiveness improving life, but effects their implementation on a large scale routine practice remains unknown. Therefore, main purpose this study was examine stepped-care delivered tertiary audiological center...
