Researchers must understand the Delphi technique

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research Methodologies
  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Expert Consensus Techniques

Background:

  • The Delphi technique, developed in the 1950s, is increasingly used in nursing research.
  • Accurate application of research methods requires understanding their origins and assumptions.
  • Previous understanding of the Delphi technique as straightforward is challenged by its evolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss complexities in understanding the Delphi technique's literature.
  • To highlight the need for in-depth knowledge of the Delphi method for rigorous nursing research.
  • To emphasize how modifications have altered the original Delphi technique.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and critical analysis of the Delphi technique's evolution.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Exploration of theoretical complexities and adaptations of the Delphi method.
  • Discussion of potential violations of assumptions due to ignorance of method origins.

    • Main Results:

    • The Delphi technique is not a simple method for obtaining expert judgment.
    • Numerous modifications and adaptations have significantly changed the original Delphi method.
    • A sound knowledge of complex theoretical issues is essential for implementing the Delphi technique.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing researchers need a comprehensive understanding of the Delphi technique's history and complexities.
    • Ignorance of the Delphi method's origins can lead to flawed research.
    • Rigorous application of the Delphi technique requires awareness of its theoretical underpinnings and adaptations.
