Abstract

Recently, there are lots methodologies to improve the quality of research in medical and public health fields. One of them is to checking a process of research with a reporting guideline before reporting paper. Especially, reporting guideline for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is the consolidated standards of reporting trials (CONSORT). Therefore, this review describes the latest version of the CONSORT statement, CONSORT 2010, including intent, background, and contents of this. The CONSORT statement comprises a checklist of essential items that should be included in reports of RCTs and a diagram for documenting the flow of participants through a trial. This report guideline aims at providing guidance to authors about how to improve the reporting of their trials. As consulting the CONSORT, authors could be strictly reported about research methods and results. From this review, we expect to elevate the quality of such research about dental hygiene and to establish the foundation for evidence-based dental hygiene.

세계 유수의 의학관련 연구 저널의 편집자들은 제출된 원고의 질을 관리하기 위하여 연구진행의 가이드라인 역할을 할 수 있는 보고 지침을 개발하여 평가에 적용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 RCTs를 위한 보고 지침인 CONSORT의 2010년 개정판 내용과 특징을 소개함으로써 치위생 연구의 계획 및 수행에 도움을 주고 더 나아가 EBP의 활성화에 기여하고자 하였다. CONSORT는 시험 보고의 질을 향상시킬 수 있도록 논문 저자들에게 보고 지침을 제공한다. 이 보고 지침은 RCTs 보고서에 반드시 포함되어야 할 필수 항목인 25개의 체크 리스트와 연구 과정의 도식화를 위한 순서도를 제시한다. 저자들은 연구 설계 시점부터 CONSORT의 각 항목을 참고함으로써 연구의 질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 따라서 우리 치위생계에서도 이러한 보고지침을 준수함으로써 치위생 연구의 타당성을 높이고, 이러한 연구 결과를 질 높은 근거 기반적 치위생 실무로 접목시켜 발전시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
