病例报告为治疗性按摩和车身(TMB)提供了基于实践的证据基础,以及许多其他与健康相关的领域。为了提高病例报告中包含的信息的一致性,CARE(CASEREport)小组为医学界制定并发布了一套指南,以促进系统的数据收集(http://www。care-statement.org/#).由于医学实践和TMB之间的差异,有必要修改CARE指南的某些部分,以使其与TMB病例报告兼容。因此,本文的目的是介绍CARE指南,将指南的每个部分应用于TMB实践和报告,并进行建议的调整,并强调关注,新的想法,以及TMB病例报告潜在作者的其他资源。适用于TMB病例报告的CARE指南的主要部分是诊断评估,后续行动和结果,和治疗干预。具体来说,因为诊断超出了大多数TMB从业者的范围,就如何将其他卫生保健提供者的诊断纳入TMB病例报告中提出建议.此外,建议案例介绍部分的两个新方面:a)评估措施,概述并描述了病例报告将重点关注的结果指标,和b)对TMB提供商的描述(即,实践范围,实践环境,经验水平,培训,认证,和/或专业知识)作为干预描述的一部分。本文以TMB从业人员撰写案例报告的实际资源为结尾,包括TMB病例报告模板-TMB从业人员可用于指导其撰写病例报告的单个文档。一旦TMB病例报告的作者采用了该模板,未来的努力可以探索对病例报告质量和数量的影响,以及它们如何影响TMB实践,研究,教育和,最终,客户。
Case reports provide the foundation of practice-based evidence for therapeutic massage and bodywork (TMB), as well as many other health-related fields. To improve the consistency of information contained in case reports, the CARE (CAse REport) Group developed and published a set of
guidelines for the medical community to facilitate systematic data collection (http://www.care-statement.org/#). Because of the differences between the practice of medicine and TMB, modifying some sections of the CARE
guidelines is necessary to make them compatible with TMB case reports. Accordingly, the objectives of this article are to present the CARE
guidelines, apply each section of the
guidelines to TMB practice and reporting with suggested adaptations, and highlight concerns, new ideas, and other resources for potential authors of TMB case reports. The primary sections of the CARE
guidelines adapted for TMB case reports are diagnostic assessment, follow-up and outcomes, and therapeutic intervention. Specifically, because diagnosis falls outside of the scope of most TMB practitioners, suggestions are made as to how diagnoses made by other health care providers should be included in the context of a TMB case report. Additionally, two new aspects of the case presentation section are recommended: a) assessment measures, which outline and describe the outcome measures on which the case report will focus, and b) a description of the TMB provider (i.e., scope of practice, practice environment, experience level, training, credentialing, and/or expertise) as part of the intervention description. This article culminates with practical resources for TMB practitioners writing case reports, including a TMB Case Report Template-a single document that TMB practitioners can use to guide his or her process of writing a case report. Once the template is adopted by authors of TMB case reports, future efforts can explore the impact on the quality and quantity of case reports and how they impact TMB practice, research, education and, ultimately, the clients.
