Article Synopsis
- The Chronic Headache Education and Self-management Study (CHESS) aimed to develop supportive strategies for individuals suffering from chronic headaches, revealing a lack of qualitative research on their lived experiences.
- Researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with participants from the CHESS study, analyzing the results through thematic analysis to understand the complexities of living with chronic headaches.
- The study identified six major themes related to the emotional impact and nature of headaches, alongside four overlapping categories of headache impact, highlighting the varying degrees to which headaches affect participants' lives over time.
Purpose: Although comprehensive and widespread guidelines on how to conduct systematic reviews of outcome measurement instruments (OMIs) exist, for example from the COSMIN (COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments) initiative, key information is often missing in published reports. This article describes the development of an extension of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guideline: PRISMA-COSMIN for OMIs 2024.
Methods: The development process followed the Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR) guidelines and included a literature search, expert consultations, a Delphi study, a hybrid workgroup meeting, pilot testing, and an end-of-project meeting, with integrated patient/public involvement.
