THE DELPHI SURVEY Sample Clauses

THE DELPHI SURVEY. The Delphi survey formed the first phase of the study. It had the advantage of providing an ‘expert’ perspective and consensus of which activities and interventions were important when caring for children in A&E Departments. It was anticipated that the findings of this study would ameliorate the uncertainty and lack of evidence identified in the available literature (Chapter 2). An ‘expert’ is defined as a ‘specialist’ in a particular field (Xxxxxxx et al 1999), an informed individual (Xx Xxxxx et al 1994) or a person with knowledge pertaining to a specific subject (Xxxxx et al 1999). For the purpose of this study, ‘an expert’ is a clinician with specialist knowledge of emergency medicine, and who has an overview of policies, procedures and standards pertaining to the care of children in A&E Departments. The Delphi survey technique was developed by the Rand Corporation in the early 1950’s for the purpose of gaining consensus from a panel of ‘experts’ (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx 2001, Xxxxxx et al 2011). During this study the panelists were therefore asked to contribute to a series of questionnaires pertaining to children’s A&E nursing in an attempt to gain consensus regarding the phenomenon under investigation. This is sometimes described as an ‘iterative multistage process’ (XxXxxxx 1994) for the purpose of combining individual opinion into a group consensus. The first round is often unstructured and data received from this round are sorted by the researcher to formulate statements that are used in the second round. The second round invites participants to rank their agreement or disagreement with the statements using a Likert scale. Consecutive rounds typically include statements where consensus has not been achieved. A Delphi survey normally involves three to four rounds (XxXxxxx 1994, Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx & Read 2001). The lack of available empirical evidence identified from the scoping review pertaining to the activities and interventions associated with the care of children in A&E Departments led to the decision to utilise a Delphi survey. Additionally, the survey approach allowed access to a dispersed group of A&E experts throughout the UK in an economic and timely manner. Three rounds were used because of concerns that the busy working schedule of A&E nurses and doctors may make it difficult to retain participants for more than three rounds. Furthermore, there was little evidence that additional rounds increase the data yield and concern that the response rate ma...
