Reflections on data collection, using an online modified Delphi survey

NWSSDTP

Reflections on data collection, using online modified Delphi survey as an alternative to face-to face research methods during pandemic (COVID-19)Noureen Shivji , Siobhan Stynes and Jo Smith (Keele University)In this session, we will present how an online modified Delphi survey method was used in two studies ‘EASIER’ and ‘POiSE’. For the EASIER (achEs and pAins and LivIng BEtteR) project, as part of the final stage of the study, Nominal Group Technique (NGT) was planned to gain consensus from professional stakeholders on supported self-management intervention components to develop an evidence based logic model. However, we adapted and used an online modified Delphi survey to gain consensus from an expert group of health professionals and experts from the third sector to review the evidence and findings from earlier work within the EASIER study. The results from Delphi study will be used for the logic model development. For the POiSE (Predictors of Outcome in sciatica patients following an epidural steroid injection) online Delphi study, clinicians with expertise in Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI) as a management option for patients with sciatica were invited to take part. The aim of this two round Delphi study was to gain consensus on which factors are potentially associated with outcome following an ESI for disc-related sciatica and should be included in data collection in a future planned large clinical cohort study. This talk will address how we overcame the challenges and successfully conducted these online Delphi studies, using Keele Health Survey* as the online data capture tool. Finally, we will also share the recent experiences and ‘top tips’ of Keele Clinical Trials Unit when moving from a postal to online method in carrying out data collection across a number of health research studies of the older population.*underpinned by LimeSurvey – Free and open-source Software You will be sent the Zoom link and password after registration.This is part of the Methods North West Methods Sessions 2021.
