Consensus methods such as the Delphi and nominal group techniques are increasingly utilized within medical education research. This educator's blueprint paper provides practical strategies regarding five key steps for ensuring best practices when using consensus methods. These strategies include deciding which consensus method is best, developing the initial questionnaire, identifying the participants, determining the number of rounds and consensus threshold, and describing and justifying any modifications. These strategies will help guide education researchers on their next study using consensus methods.
德尔菲法和名义群体技术等共识方法在医学教育研究中的应用越来越广泛。这篇教育工作者蓝图论文提供了关于使用共识方法时确保最佳实践的五个关键步骤的实用策略。这些策略包括决定哪种共识方法最佳、制定初始问卷、确定参与者、确定轮次数量和共识阈值，以及描述并说明任何修改。这些策略将有助于指导教育研究人员进行下一项使用共识方法的研究。
