AimTo report a multi‐phase modified Delphi study conducted with carers and professionals to identify the priority areas for inclusion in an alert screening tool for carers providing support to someone dying at home.BackgroundInternationally, there is a growing emphasis on increasing choice for patients who wish to die at home which relies heavily on care provided by the unpaid family carers. Family carers can have high levels of unmet needs comprising their psychological and physical health and their ability to provide effective care and support. Development of an alert tool to identify carers' needs in everyday practice required identification and consensus of the priority areas of need for inclusion.DesignMulti‐phase modified Delphi study and instrument development.MethodQualitative and quantitative data collection took place between 2011–2013 with 111 carers and 93 professionals to identify carers' needs and gain consensus on the priority areas for inclusion in the alert tool. An expert panel stage and final evidence review post‐Delphi were used.ResultsThe Delphi panels had high levels of agreement and consensus. Ten areas of carer need across two themes of ‘the current caring situation’ and ‘the carer's own health and well‐being’ were prioritized for inclusion in the alert tool. An optional end‐of‐life planning question was included following the final stages.ConclusionsThe results provide evidence of carers' needs to be assessed, areas for consideration in the education of those who support carers and someone dying at home and targeting of services, while demonstrating the usefulness and adaptability of the Delphi method.

“…Thus, although we observed remarkable dropouts between round 1 and 2 (from 62 to 26 French experts [−52%]; from 40 to 31 German experts [−23%]), the sizes of the panels remained adequate for all rounds (round 3: 26 French and 25 German experts). A reason for dropouts is that a Delphi survey may be time consuming due to its iterative nature, and the panellists may lose interest in the research study over time . Whatever is the case, we presume much more that the language was a determinant factor.…”

“…In addition, this method provides anonymity and confidentiality and allows independent thinking without the dominance of influential participants. Further, it can be performed remotely with online questionnaires and thus, incorporates participants who are geographically dispersed in a cost‐ and time‐effective manner . Furthermore, it has been applied widely within the healthcare field as well as for the translation of instruments .…”

Aims We translated the ABC adherence taxonomy (i.e. 7 terms and their corresponding definitions) published by Vrijens et al. (2012) into French and German without changing the original meaning with the aim to promote a standardised taxonomy for medication adherence to French‐ and German‐speaking researchers and clinicians. Methods A Delphi survey was performed. To generate round 1, we identified French and German synonyms for the 7 adherence terms through a literature search in PubMed. Investigators translated the original English definitions into French and German. Panellists were members of ESPACOMP—the International Society for Patient Medication Adherence; experts suggested by ESPACOMP members and first authors of medication adherence publications in French and German. Google forms were used to create online questionnaires. Delphi rounds were performed until consensus was reached. The consensus was defined according to the acceptance rate as moderate consensus (50–75%), consensus (>75–95%), and strong consensus (>95%). Results The literature search resulted in 4–6 (French) and 4–7 (German) items per English term. Delphi rounds were launched between November 2016 and April 2018. Three rounds sufficed to reach consensus on all terms and definitions from 26 French‐speaking and 25 German‐speaking panellists. Preferred terms for medication adherence are adhésion médicamenteuse (82%) in French and Medikamentenadhärenz (88%) in German. Conclusion The use of a common terminology for medication adherence with translations in French and German will contribute to standardise the vocabulary, to harmonise research projects and ultimately ease comparison of study results among researchers and clinicians.

Respiratory nurses make a significant contribution to the delivery of respiratory healthcare, but there is a dearth of nurse-led, practice-focused, published research.Using a modified three-round Delphi, this study sought to identify research priorities for respiratory nursing to inform a national research strategy. Study information and the survey link were sent electronically to members of UK professional respiratory organisations. Round 1 had 78 items across 16 topics, informed by a systematic literature review. Respondents suggested additional items which were content analysed to inform Round 2. Respondents rated all items and ranked the topics in all rounds. To ensure rigour, rounds had an explicit focus with pre-determined criteria for consensus (70%).In total, 363 responses were received across Rounds 1, 2 and 3 (n=183, 95 and 85, respectively). The top five research priorities were: 1) "Patient understanding of asthma control"; 2) "The clinical and cost-effectiveness of respiratory nurse interventions"; 3) "The impact of nurse-led clinics on patient care"; 4) "Inhaler technique"; and 5) two topics jointly scored: "Prevention of exacerbations" and "Symptom management".With potential international significance, this is the first UK study to identify research priorities for respiratory nursing, providing direction for those planning or undertaking research. @ERSpublications UK-wide Delphi survey identifies nursing research priorities to enhance respiratory care for patients and carers
