Orthopaedic nursing research priorities: a replication and extension

Identification of priorities for nursing research in Spain: a Delphi study*

“…1992), and other (Benedict 1990, Hatton & Nunnelee 1995; Sleep et al . 1995, Sedlak et al . 1998, Walker et al .…”

Use of consensus development to establish national research priorities in critical care

“…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.…”

Identifying Nursing Research Priorities in a Pediatric Clinical Trials Cooperative Group: The Pediatric Oncology Group Experience

“…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.…”
