2023, American Journal of SurgeryEducation Descriptive Reports: How to Publish Pragmatic Studies in Education
2022, Journal of Chiropractic HumanitiesCitation Excerpt :Because of this, chiropractic educational research may benefit from additional models of inquiry, allowing for opportunities to publish observational, reflective, and hypothesis-generating work. In searching books and journal articles, we found little information that provided clear instruction on writing education descriptive reports, such as what has been done in other health professions and with other research designs within chiropractic.14-18 There is scant information in the literature that describes how these studies could be written or evaluated.
4 M's to make sense of evidence – Avoiding the propagation of mistakes, misinterpretation, misrepresentation and misinformation
2022, International Journal of Osteopathic MedicineCitation Excerpt :The value of the case report is well recognised in many fields. Indeed, it can be used to generate hypotheses to be subsequently tested by other types of research design such as cohort studies or control randomized trials [33,34], to detect novelties [34], to warn a profession of potential complications of an intervention [35]. These reports can also promote the sharing of clinical expertise, help clinicians to solve difficult clinical problems and provide valuable teaching opportunities [29,34,35].
A guide to writing a case report of an osteopathic patient
2020, International Journal of Osteopathic MedicineCitation Excerpt :Case reports are designed to disseminate elements of the patient case history, examination, treatment and ongoing management with the aim of informing clinical practice. Case reports also provide valuable teaching material, demonstrating both common and unusual presentations which may confront the clinician, alongside adverse events, cases where care has failed and differential diagnosis considerations [1]. Since the majority of clinical interactions occur in private practice, not in teaching or research facilities, it relies on the clinician to record and share their experiences.
