Abstract

Purpose: The primary purpose in this study is to provide to researchers with the Turkish adaptation of GRRAS, which was initially developed for the sake of accurately and completely report reliability and agreement studies. The secondary purpose, is to set forth the rate at which GRRAS was utilized in the reliability and agreement related articles published in the scanned journals of the Turkish Medical Index since 2011.

Material and Methods: GRRAS was translated into Turkish by two authors. Later on, studies published in the Turkish Medical Index since 2011 were examined in line with the determined criteria.

Results: The items included in each section of the Turkish-adapted GRASS were explained. Furthermore, in consequence of the scanning of the Turkish Medical Index, it was determined that of the total 34 studies were published. All these studies were evaluated with the use of the Turkish-adaption of GRRAS and on the basis of every item included in the guide, reporting percentages were determined by years and in total. Discussion and Conclusion: It was so important for reviewers and editors to make reviews in a standardized way and also for researchers to report their studies in a standard format.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada birincil amaç, güvenilirlik ve uyum çalışmalarının doğru ve tam olarak raporlanabilmesi için geliştirilmiş olan GRRAS kılavuzunun Türkçeye uyarlanmış halini araştırmacılara sunmaktır. İkincil amaç olarak, 2011 yılından itibaren Türk Tıp Dizininde taranan dergilerde yayınlanan güvenilirlik ve uyum ile ilgili makalelerde GRRAS kılavuzundan ne kadar yararlanıldığını ortaya koymaktır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: İki yazar tarafından GRRAS kılavuzu Türkçeye çevrilmiştir. 2011 yılından itibaren Türk Tıp Dizininde yayınlanmış olan çalışmalar belirlenen kriterler doğrultusunda incelenmiştir.

Bulgular: Türkçeye uyarlanmış olan GRRAS kılavuzunun her bir bölümünde yer alan maddeler açıklanmıştır. Ayrıca, Türk Tıp Dizininde yapılan tarama sonucunda 34 çalışmanın yayınlanmış olduğu belirlenmiştir. Tüm bu çalışmalar, Türkçe uyarlaması yapılmış GRRAS kılavuzu kullanılarak değerlendirilmiş ve kılavuzda bulunan her bir madde için yıllara ve toplama göre rapor edilme yüzdeleri verilmiştir.

Sonuç: Dergi hakem ve editörlerinin makale değerlendirme sürecinde standart bir şekilde değerlendirme yapabilmeleri, ayrıca araştırmacıların da yaptıkları çalışmaları, standart bir formatta raporlayabilmeleri açısından oldukça önemli bir nitelik taşımaktadır
