“…Some activities of the same type use more structured methods, such as the one developed by the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative Method, in which several experts generate and score research options against a set of criteria [31–33]; others use the nominal group technique [34]. To determine the topics of the six scoping reviews in this project, the Delphi technique was used [35, 36]. …”

Establishing research priorities in prevention and control of vector-borne diseases in urban areas: a collaborative process

BackgroundIn 2015, following a call for proposals from the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), six scoping reviews on the prevention and control of vector-borne diseases in urban areas were conducted. Those reviews provided a clear picture of the available knowledge and highlighted knowledge gaps, as well as needs and opportunities for future research. Based on the research findings of the scoping reviews, a concept mapping exercise was undertaken to produce a list of priority research needs to be addressed.MethodsMembers of the six research teams responsible for the “VEctor boRne DiseAses Scoping reviews” (VERDAS) consortium’s scoping reviews met for 2 days with decision-makers from Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Pan-American Health Organization, and World Health Organization. A total of 11 researchers and seven decision-makers (from ministries of health, city and regional vector control departments, and vector control programs) completed the concept mapping, answering the question: “In view of the knowledge synthesis and your own expertise, what do we still need to know about vector-borne diseases and other infectious diseases of poverty in urban areas?” Participants rated each statement on two scales from 1 to 5, one relative to ‘priority’ and the other to ‘policy relevance’, and grouped statements into clusters based on their own individual criteria and expertise.ResultsThe final map consisted of 12 clusters. Participants considered those entitled “Equity”, “Technology”, and “Surveillance” to have the highest priority. The cluster considered the most important concerns equity issues, confirming that these issues are rarely addressed in research on vector-borne diseases. On the other hand, the “Population mobility” and “Collaboration” clusters were considered to be the lowest priority but remained identified by participants as research priorities. The average policy relevance scores for each of the 12 clusters were roughly the same as the priority scores for all clusters. Some issues were not addressed during the brain-storming. This is the case for governance and for access and quality of care.ConclusionsBased on this work, and adopting a participatory approach, the concept mapping exercise conducted collaboratively with researchers from these teams and high-level decision-makers identified research themes for which studies should be carried out as a priority.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s40249-018-0463-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…We encourage the approach described here in other areas of health care, not only as a means of identifying research priorities in a structured and transparent way but also to establish whether the method is equally robust when tackling very different issues, such as long term care or community services. Although there have been some previous applications of consensus development methods, they have mostly used Delphi surveys 2 3 5 – 7 9 10 or informal mechanisms for deriving group judgments.…”

“…Groups within the discipline of nursing who have used this technique include nursing administration (Henry, et al, 1987), orthopedic nursing (Sedlak, Ross, Arslanian, & Taggart, 1998), care of children and their families (Broome, Woodring, & O'Connor-Von, 1996;Schmidt, (Abbott, Diomede, Johnson, & MacIlraith, 1994), critical care (Daly, Chang, & Bell, 1996), acute care (Cronin & Owsley, 1993), pediatric oncology (Hinds, et al, 1990;Hinds, et al, 1994), oncology (Funkhouser & Grant, 1988;Oberst, 1978), and nurses giving care to patients who have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS (Benedict, 1990). The technique has also been used as the basis for establishing or focusing research programs (Dennis, Howes, & Zelauskas, 1989;Forte, Ritz, & Balestracci, 1997;Hinds, et al, 1990) in that topics that receive the highest priority ratings become the research focus areas for the respective programs.…”

If nurses involved in pediatric oncology clinical trials are to use resources and manpower most effectively, nursing research priorities must be set that meet the nursing care issues of nurses at the bedside. Using a Delphi technique, nurses from the Pediatric Oncology Group (POG) were surveyed in Round 1 to discover patient care concerns or other issues in pediatric oncology nursing related to clinical trials. The 87 research ideas generated were reviewed by a panel of nurse experts, and a total of 57 unique research topics were delineated. These topics were then used for Round 2 of the Delphi study, which identified the top 10 nursing research priorities of the POG nurses participating in the study.
