Refining the CRiSPHe (checklist for reporting research using a simulated patient methodology in Health): a Delphi study.
The International journal of pharmacy practice(2024)
Abstract
OBJECTIVES:A recent applicability study highlighted the need for the existing checklist for reporting research using a simulated patient methodology (CRiSP) to be clearer and user-friendly. The aim of this study was to update the checklist to address these concerns.
METHODS:A fourth round of the Delphi consensus study, used in the original checklist development work, was conducted. Previous participants, who had expertise in SP methodology, were invited to complete a questionnaire including a list of 13 checklist items developed in the previous study and revised following applicability testing. Closed questions were analysed for frequency. Consensus was predefined as >80% agreement. All items were discussed in a roundtable meeting and further modified as necessary. Responses to open questions were content analysed.
KEY FINDINGS:Twenty-one authors participated. There was a statistical consensus in 12 out of 13 modified checklist items.
CONCLUSIONS:A final reporting checklist for studies in health research using SP methodology has been developed using a consensus approach. Further refinements may be needed to increase the generalizability of the checklist in different contexts.
