23. PASSO A PASSO PAR FAZER UMA REVISÃO DE ESCOPO EM 6 ETAPAS SIMPLES

Summary

This video explains how to conduct a scoping review in six simple steps. It covers the importance of scoping reviews, how to define the research question using the PCC acronym (Population, Concept, Context), and the need for choosing the right databases and descriptors. The presenter walks through the process of data extraction, managing duplicates, and using tools like Raian for effective organization. The video also emphasizes registering the protocol, following best practices, and utilizing resources like Prisma SCR for writing. Ideal for anyone interested in producing a high-quality scoping review efficiently.

Takeaways

• 😀 A scope review is a study that maps out what is already known about a particular topic and helps identify research gaps.
• 😀 Scope reviews are especially useful for themes that are underexplored, serving as a precursor to systematic reviews.
• 😀 You should perform a scope review when your goal is to identify research gaps and see what has been previously studied on the topic.
• 😀 Step 1 of a scope review: Write a protocol, following best practices and using the Joanna Briggs Institute framework.
• 😀 Step 2: Define the research question using the PCC strategy (Population, Concept, Context) to help structure your inquiry.
• 😀 Step 3: Choose the databases to search. Depending on the subject, you might focus on articles, theses, or dissertations.
• 😀 Step 4: Use appropriate descriptors (like MeSH terms in health) and synonyms to create a precise search strategy using Boolean operators.
• 😀 Step 5: Data extraction requires creating a table or framework that aligns with your research question to organize the relevant data.
• 😀 Step 6: Writing the review involves following guidelines such as the Prisma SCR checklist to ensure quality and clarity.
• 😀 It is recommended to have at least three people on the review team for better accuracy and reliability in the process.
• 😀 A systematic review answers a specific research question with scientific evidence, while a scope review helps identify concepts and characteristics for mapping out research themes.

Q & A

What is a scoping review?

A scoping review is a type of study that maps the existing research on a particular topic, providing a detailed overview of the volume and focus of the published studies. It is used to identify gaps in the research and to suggest potential themes for systematic reviews.

Why are scoping reviews considered important in research?

Scoping reviews are important because they provide a comprehensive overview of what has been studied on a given topic, which can help to identify areas that have been under-researched. They serve as a precursor to systematic reviews and help in framing future research questions.

When should you conduct a scoping review?

You should conduct a scoping review when you want to map out the existing research on a specific topic, identify gaps in the literature, or explore areas that have not been thoroughly studied yet.

What is the first step in conducting a scoping review?

The first step is to write the protocol for your scoping review, ensuring that it follows good practices for writing and publishing reviews. The protocol should be registered on platforms like OSF (Open Science Framework) and follow the Joana Briggs Institute (JBI) model.

How do you define a research question for a scoping review?

To define a research question, use the PCC acronym (Population, Concept, Context). For example, if the focus is on medicinal plants used by Brazilian Indigenous people, the question could be: 'What medicinal plants are used by Brazilian Indigenous people to treat diseases?'

What databases should be used for a scoping review?

The choice of databases depends on the field of study. For health-related topics, popular databases include PubMed, LILACS, Web of Science, and others. In less-explored fields, you may need to include a broader range of resources like theses and dissertations.

What are descriptors and how do they impact the search strategy?

Descriptors are keywords or terms used to search for relevant studies. In health research, you can use descriptors like MeSH terms (Medical Subject Headings) or DEX terms. Combining these descriptors with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) helps to refine the search results.

What is the role of the Rayyan software in conducting a scoping review?

Rayyan is a software tool that helps manage the process of systematic reviews and scoping reviews. It aids in the removal of duplicate studies, assists in title and abstract screening, and streamlines the selection of studies based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.

How is data extracted during a scoping review?

Data extraction in a scoping review involves creating tables or frameworks to organize and summarize key information from each study. This can include the study's author, year, sample size, type of study, and relevant outcomes.

What is the final step in writing a scoping review?

The final step is to write the scoping review. It's important to follow established guidelines, such as the PRISMA-ScR checklist (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews), to ensure that the review is well-structured and of high quality.
