Scoping reviews, a type of knowledge synthesis, follow systematic approach to map evidence on topic and identify main concepts, theories, sources, gaps. Although more scoping reviews are being done, their methodological reporting quality need improvement. This document presents the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Meta-Analyses extension Reviews) checklist explanation. The was developed by 24-member expert panel 2 research leads following published guidance from EQUATOR...
Self-critical people, compared with those who self-reassure, are at increased risk of psychopathology. However, there has been little work on the different forms and functions these self-experiences. This study developed two self-report scales to measure self-criticism self-reassurance explore their relationship depression.A scale measuring self-reassuring, a possible self-criticism, together depression another (LOSC), were given 246 female students.Self-criticizing vs. self-reassuring...
Abstract Scoping reviews are an increasingly common approach to evidence synthesis with a growing suite of methodological guidance and resources assist review authors their planning, conduct reporting. The latest for scoping includes the JBI methodology Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses—Extension Reviews. This paper provides readers brief update regarding ongoing work enhance improve reporting as well information future steps in methods development. purpose this is...
Despite a decade's worth of effort, patient safety has improved slowly, in part because the limited evidence base for development and widespread dissemination successful practices. The Agency Healthcare Research Quality sponsored an international group experts evaluation methods to develop criteria improve design, evaluation, reporting practice research safety. This article reports findings recommendations this group, which include greater use theory logic models, more detailed descriptions...
Objectives To determine whether any particular intervention or combination of interventions is effective in the treatment, management and rehabilitation adults children with a diagnosis chronic fatigue syndrome / myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME).Design Substantive update systematic review published 2002.Randomized (RCTs) non-randomized controlled trials were eligible for inclusion.Study participants could be CFS/ME based on criteria.We searched eleven electronic databases, reference lists...
<h3>Background</h3> Differences in contexts (eg, policies, healthcare organisation characteristics) may explain variations the effects of patient safety practice (PSP) implementations. However, knowledge which contextual features are important determinants PSP effectiveness is limited and consensus lacking on a taxonomy matter. <h3>Methods</h3> Iterative, formal discussions were held with 22-member technical expert panel composed experts or leaders safety, systems, methods. First,...
A wide range of diverse and inconsistent terminology exists in the field knowledge translation. This limits conduct evidence syntheses, impedes communication collaboration, undermines translation research findings settings. Improving uniformity could help address these challenges. In 2012, we convened an international working group to explore idea developing a common overarching framework for interventions. Methods included identifying summarizing existing frameworks, mapping together subset...
Objective Valid, reliable critical appraisal tools advance quality improvement (QI) intervention impacts by helping stakeholders identify higher studies. QI approaches are diverse and differ from clinical interventions. Widely used instruments do not take unique features into account existing (eg, Standards for Reporting Excellence) intended publication guidance rather than appraisal. This study developed psychometrically tested a instrument, the Minimum Quality Criteria Set (QI-MQCS)...
Theories provide a way of understanding and predicting the effects patient safety practices (PSPs), interventions intended to prevent or mitigate harm caused by healthcare risks such harm. Yet most published evaluations make little no explicit reference theory, thereby hindering efforts generalise findings from one context another. wide range disciplines are potentially relevant research on PSPs. Theory can be used in explain clinical organisational behaviour, guide development selection...
