Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...
Observational Studies01:11

Observational Studies

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One example of...
Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches01:23

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast, controlled...
Case Studies01:22

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
The Scientific Method in Nursing Process01:18

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be safely...

Area of Science:

  • Health Research Methodology
  • Evidence Synthesis
  • Scoping Studies

Background:

  • Scoping studies are a popular method for reviewing health research.
  • The 2005 Arksey and O'Malley framework is foundational but requires enhancement.
  • Improving consistency in scoping study conduct and reporting is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify and enhance the Arksey and O'Malley scoping study framework.
  • To propose recommendations for each stage of the scoping study process.
  • To support the advancement and relevance of scoping studies in health research.

Main Methods:

  • Building upon experience from three scoping studies.
  • Proposing recommendations for each of the six stages of the Arksey and O'Malley framework.
  • Incorporating stakeholder consultation as a key component.

Main Results:

  • Recommendations for clarifying purpose and research questions.
  • Guidance on balancing feasibility with the scope of the review.
  • Suggestions for iterative team approaches to study selection and data extraction.
  • Emphasis on integrating numerical and qualitative analysis for reporting findings.
  • Inclusion of stakeholder consultation for knowledge translation.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed enhancements aim to improve the consistency and rigor of scoping studies.
  • Further development of scoping study methodology will maximize its utility in healthcare.
  • These recommendations support the application and relevance of scoping studies in health research.
