“…(9) The results of some studies using this technique report that 2 to 4 rounds were required to validate content, which corroborates this study's findings. (19)(20)(21)(22)(23) Sometimes, though, three or more rounds may be required to exhaust the subject. (20) The use of educational material enables more extensive interaction among health professionals, patients and families and the development of this type of material has been a growing practice in the nursing field.…”

Objective: To develop and validate an informative booklet on bed bath for coronary patients. Method: The informative booklet was developed based on the experience of researchers and literature. The booklet was subjected to content validation for ten nurses, using the Delphi technique. The final version of the booklet has been validated with 35 patients admitted to the coronary care unit and who had experienced at least once the bed bath, using Likert scale. Results: The informative booklet was developed containing information about bed bath and the reasons that patients need this procedure. In the first phase were required four rounds to obtain consensus among nurses. In the second phase, it was observed that the average of the responses were above 4, thus, the booklet was considered as validated. Conclusion: This study developed and validated an informative booklet on bed bath for coronary patients. ResumoObjetivo: Construir e validar um manual informativo sobre o banho no leito para pacientes com síndrome coronária aguda. Métodos: O manual informativo foi desenvolvido com base na experiência profissional dos pesquisadores e em levantamento bibliográfico.

A versão final do manual foi validada com 35 pacientes internados na unidade coronariana e que haviam vivenciado ao menos uma vez o banho no leito utilizando escala do tipo Likert. Resultados: O manual informativo foi construído contendo informações sobre o banho no leito e as razões da necessidade deste procedimento. Na primeira fase foram necessárias quatro rodadas para o consenso entre os enfermeiros. Na segunda fase, foi observada uma média de escore superior a 4, sendo considerado como validado.

Background. Recently, measuring and benchmarking provision of healthcare services has drawn a considerable attention. This scoping review was conducted to identify, describe, and summarize studies in which the Delphi technique was used to develop quality indicators of pharmaceutical care. The study also aimed to identify activities and services that could be used to capture the impact of pharmacist in integrative medicine. Methods. Databases were searched from inception to February 2020 using key terms that were combined using Boolean operators. Studies were included if they were relevant to development of quality indicators of pharmaceutical care with regard to medications or complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modalities. Full text of the selected studies was imported into EndNote. Studies were screened and data were extracted into a standard extraction form. Results. Data were extracted from 31 studies. Of those, 24 (77.4%) were related to provision of pharmaceutical services relevant to medications and 7 (22.6%) were related to provision of care using CAM modalities. Most of the studies (67.7%) were published in 2010 and beyond. Almost half of the studies (48.4%) originated from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. A total of 42 different activities and services that could be used as quality indicators were identified from the studies included in this review. Activities and services were related to history taking, performing reconciliations, identifying and resolving therapy problems, providing collaborative care, designing care plans, optimal performance, and continuing education. Conclusions. Although there is an increasing interest in improving healthcare delivery, quality indicators of pharmaceutical services and those relevant to CAM provision in healthcare facilities adopting the integrated healthcare paradigm are still limited. Future studies are needed to develop validated quality indicators that could be successfully used in measuring and benchmarking quality of services in integrated healthcare facilities.

“…6 The validity and reliability of the Chinese diagnostic methods have been questioned; 7 hence, ways of improving aspects of this process have been studied using a Delphi process. 8,9 A Delphi process can be used to generate a consensus on issues considered to be of great variability or subject to uncertainty. The Delphi process is an iterative process with feedback, which allows the participating individuals to learn, and to change their opinion at any stage.…”

Eight (8) of 10 international acupuncture experts were able to reach consensus on the syndromes, symptoms, and treatment of postmenopausal women with hot flashes. The syndromes were similar to those used by practitioners in the ACUFLASH clinical trial, but there were considerable differences between the acupuncture points. This difference is likely to be the result of differences in approach of training schools, and whether it is relevant for clinical outcomes is not well understood.

Application of Delphi Technique in Identification of Appropriate Screening Questions for Chronic Low Back Pain from Traditional Chinese Medicine Experts' Opinions

Abstract: Modern TCM experts have de-emphasized the items on physical and tongue expressions and have adopted instead those from Western medicine. Intra-expert agreement across items was low, and each expert tended to stick to her/his original opinions.
