Abstract

A novel approach to data extraction and synthesis was used to explore the connections between research priorities, understanding and practice improvement associated with family bereavement in the context of the potential for organ donation. Conducting the review as a qualitative longitudinal study highlighted changes over time, and extraction of citation-related data facilitated an analysis of the interaction in this field. It was found that lack of \'communication\' between researchers contributes to information being \'lost\' and then later \'rediscovered\'. It is recommended that researchers should plan early for dissemination and practice improvement to ensure that research contributes to change.

摘要

一种新的数据提取和综合方法被用来探索研究重点之间的联系，在器官捐赠潜力的背景下，与家庭丧亲相关的理解和实践改进。作为一项定性的纵向研究进行审查，强调随着时间的推移而发生的变化，和引用相关数据的提取有助于分析该领域的相互作用。发现研究人员之间缺乏“沟通”会导致信息“丢失”，然后“重新发现”。建议研究人员尽早计划传播和实践改进，以确保研究有助于变革。
