European evidence-based recommendations for clinical assessment of upper limb in neurorehabilitation (CAULIN): data synthesis from systematic reviews…
2021
Abstract Background Technology-supported rehabilitation can help alleviate the increasing need for cost-effective rehabilitation of neurological conditions, but use in clinical practice remains limited. Agreement on a core set of reliable, valid and accessible outcome measures to assess rehabilitation outcomes is needed to generate strong evidence about effectiveness of rehabilitation approaches, including technologies. This paper collates and synthesizes a core set from multiple sources; combining existing evidence, clinical practice guidelines and expert consensus into European recommendations for Clinical Assessment of Upper Limb In Neurorehabilitation (CAULIN). Methods Data from systema…
Sustainability focused decision-making in building renovation
2017
Abstract An overview of recent research related to building renovation has revealed that efforts to date do not address sustainability issues comprehensively. The question then arises in regard to the holistic sustainability objectives within building renovation context. In order to deal with this question, the research adopts a multi-dimensional approach involving literature review, exploration of existing assessment methods and methodologies, individual and focus group interviews, and application of Soft Systems Methodologies (SSM) with Value Focused Thinking (VFT). In doing so, appropriate data about sustainability objectives have been collected and structured, and subsequently verified …
The importance of social value in agroecological farms: adjusting the common good balance sheet to improve their sustainable management
2021
Organic farming offers the producers the possibility of focusing on their business while obtaining a competitive advantage. Nevertheless, this is centered in specific activities of the production process, thus only creating environmental value. Therefore, it is not an approach based on sustainability. As a consequence of this, it becomes necessary to enlarge this approach toward people (social value) and profitability (economic value). The objective of this work is to describe a tool based on the Economy for the Common Good model applied to the agroecological sector. We propose to adapt the Common Good Matrix to the characteristics of agroecological farms to offer a useful tool to manage an…
The rational use of albumin in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. A Delphi study for the attainment of a consensus on prescribing standards.
2004
Background. Ascites is one of the most frequent severe complications in patients with liver cirrhosis. The treatment of this chronic disease usually requires the prolonged use of albumin, frequently continued even after patients' discharge from the hospital. Aims. Aim of the study was to define a consensus among Italian physicians with regard to the use of albumin in patients with decompensated cirrhosis and ascites. Methods. The study adopted the Delphi technique to conduct the consensus activities. All controversial issues related to the use of albumin were identified by the experts' board and proposed to the 68 participating hepatology centres through two subsequent questionnaires. The q…

2020
ObjectivesThis study aimed to obtain a consensus on oral health policy, access to dental care, oral hygiene measures and training levels.BackgroundPoor oral health is widespread in care-dependent older people, but no consensus for a minimum standard of oral health care exists yet.MethodsThe e-Delphi approach was applied to a selected panel of interdisciplinary experts. Data analysis was based on three measurements: (a) ≥70% of experts’ opinion fall into category “agree or strongly agree,” (b) median score on the 5-point Likert scale ≥4, (c) interquartile range ≤1.ResultsA total of 31 experts from 17 European countries participated in this survey. Agreement was achieved for a compulsory dent…
Nasjonalt innført! Nasjonalt behov? : Eksperter i et innbyggerpanels forventninger og opplevelser til Nasjonal kjernejournal – Et Delphistudie
2017
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Technology plays a part in nearly every aspect of life. Electronic self-services such as online banking, control of tax returns, or application for construction permits are daily events unfolding online. Health services are coming along, and their last addition is the national medical core journal. Based on numbers that indicate a low utilization, full adoption by the citizens of the solution seems absent. The purpose of this study is to research what expectations and experiences the citizens have to the national medical core journal. The issue for the study is, "What are the most important factors to contribute…
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
2021
Este trabajo pretende identificar los problemas más relevantes para la educación obligatoria en el campo de la alimentación y la actividad física desde el punto de vista de la educación para la salud. Para ello, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica y una consulta a expertos a través de un estudio Delphi y de un encuentro presencial. Esta combinación ha permitido consensuar entre diferentes sectores profesionales no solamente una lista de problemas y contenidos competenciales necesarios sino también aquéllos considerados como prescindibles. Los resultados de este estudio permitirán actualizar la educación alimentaria en la escuela y replantearse el curriculum desde una perspectiva que integ…
Using Social Simulations in Interdisciplinary Primary Education: An Expert Appraisal
2020
Many people recognize that teaching basic skills in primary schools (reading, writing, and arithmetic) is no longer sufficient for pupils in the digital age. Therefore, governments now increasingly ask schools to add other skills (oral, digital) and to create connections between subjects (e.g., use mathematics in history lessons). In this study, we explored how social simulations can be used in primary education to meet these new goals. We conducted an expert appraisal (a qualitative Delphi method) with four experts specializing in innovating primary education. We selected three simulations that were freely available on the web, relevant for pupils’ lives and had a limited number of paramet…
Alfabetización en salud a través de las competencias
2019
En este trabajo se presenta una propuesta para la alfabetización en salud a través de la concreción y definición de las competencias que debe adquirir el alumnado durante la Educación Obligatoria. Mediante un estudio Delphi, se han determinado ocho ámbitos de salud, identificando los problemas o situaciones de salud que debe saber resolver el alumnado, así como las competencias que desarrollar y los contenidos de aprendizaje necesarios para afrontar cada uno de estos problemas. Estos contenidos de aprendizaje constituyen el instrumento de análisis con el que se ha revisado el currículo para comprobar en qué medida están presentes en las propuestas oficiales. Los estudios realizados referent…
