Implementation outcomes measures can be used to assess the implementation of complex health and social care interventions, but evidence for the use of these measures, and their psychometric properties, remains limited. The NoMAD ( Normalisation Me asure Development) survey, based on Normalisation Process Theory, was developed to assess, monitor, or measure factors likely to affect normalisation of a new practice from the perspective of participants who are engaged in an implementation process. Since publication in 2015, NoMAD has been translated into several languages and is increasingly being used in health and care research. This systematic review will identify, appraise, and synthesise the existing literature on the use of NoMAD as an implementation outcome measure, focusing on use and application across different studies and settings, and on its properties as a measurement tool.
We will systematically search the bibliographic databases Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed for articles reporting empirical data in peer-reviewed journals. A citation search will also be undertaken in Google Scholar for primary NoMAD publications. Studies will be eligible for inclusion if they: (a) specify using NoMAD as a method and report results from using it, and/or (b) report a translation and/or validation study of NoMAD's measurement properties. Screening of abstracts and full text articles will be done independently by two researchers. Data extraction will be structured to allow collection and descriptive synthesis of data on study characteristics, use of NoMAD, psychometric results, and authors' reflections and recommendations.
This review will provide the first synthesis of how NoMAD has been applied in health and care research, and evidence on its properties as an outcome measure since its publication. This will be used to update existing freely accessible guidance for researchers and other users, and disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, and engagement activities with researchers and practitioners.
实施结果测量可用于评估复杂的健康和社会护理干预措施的实施情况，但关于这些测量方法的使用及其心理测量特性的证据仍然有限。基于规范化过程理论开发的NoMAD（规范化测量发展）调查，旨在从参与实施过程的参与者的角度评估、监测或测量可能影响新实践规范化的因素。自2015年发表以来，NoMAD已被翻译成多种语言，并越来越多地用于健康和护理研究。本系统评价将识别、评估和综合关于使用NoMAD作为实施结果测量的现有文献，重点关注其在不同研究和环境中的使用和应用，以及其作为测量工具的特性。
我们将系统地搜索科学网、Scopus和PubMed等文献数据库，查找在同行评审期刊上报告实证数据的文章。还将在谷歌学术中对NoMAD的主要出版物进行引文搜索。如果研究符合以下条件，则有资格纳入：（a）指定使用NoMAD作为一种方法并报告使用结果，和/或（b）报告NoMAD测量特性的翻译和/或验证研究。两名研究人员将独立进行摘要和全文文章的筛选。数据提取将结构化，以便收集和描述性综合关于研究特征、NoMAD的使用、心理测量结果以及作者的思考和建议的数据。
本综述将首次综合介绍NoMAD在健康和护理研究中的应用方式，以及自其发表以来作为结果测量的特性证据。这将用于更新现有的可供研究人员和其他用户免费获取的指南，并通过同行评审出版物以及与研究人员和从业者的参与活动进行传播。
