Methods for persons with acquired communication disabilities

A scoping review was conducted. Scoping reviews do not include people as subjects. Nonetheless, ethical considerations were acknowledged. A multi-faceted search strategy was then conducted and included database searches, hand searching, and forward citation and ancestry searches. The search results were imported into a screening tool known as Covidence used for conducting Cochrane Systematic Reviews. Two reviewers did a double-blind screening of studies at the title/abstract and full-text level, during which the eligibility criterion was applied. Data was extracted by the researcher and independently verified by reviewers at title and full-text level. Data extraction for coded data and outcomes were also done by the researcher initially and then all the data extraction was checked by the supervisor. An inductive coding analysis was conducted to code the main concepts. Some changes were made to the coding and themes. Disagreements were discussed until 100% consensus was reached.

一项范围审查得以实施。范围审查不将人类作为研究对象。然而，伦理考量仍被予以认可。随后，采用多维度的搜索策略，包括数据库检索、手工检索以及正向引用和谱系搜索。搜索结果被导入至一种名为Covidence的筛选工具中，该工具用于执行Cochrane系统评价。两位审稿人进行了双盲筛选，涉及研究标题/摘要和全文层面，期间应用了资格标准。数据由研究者提取，并在标题和全文层面由审稿人独立验证。编码数据和结果的提取最初由研究者执行，随后所有数据提取均经主管审查。对主要概念进行了归纳编码分析。对编码和主题进行了一些调整。直至达成100%的一致意见，分歧才得到讨论解决。
