Reporting of yoga research often lacks the detail required for clinical application, study replication, summary research and comparative effectiveness studies.
To improve the transparency of reporting yoga interventions, and building on the development of previous reporting guidelines, a group of international yoga research stakeholders developed the consensus-based CheckList stAndardising the Reporting of Interventions For Yoga (CLARIFY) guidelines.
The 21-item CLARIFY checklist outlines the minimum details considered necessary for high-quality reporting of yoga research. This paper provides a detailed explanation of each of the 21 items of the CLARIFY checklist, together with model examples of how to integrate each item into publications of yoga research. The CLARIFY guideline serves as an extension for existing research reporting guidelines, and is flexible for use across all study designs.
We strongly encourage the uptake of these reporting guidelines by researchers and journals, to facilitate improvements in the transparency and utility of yoga research.
瑜伽研究报告通常缺乏临床应用、研究复制、总结研究和比较效果研究所需的详细信息。
为了提高瑜伽干预措施报告的透明度,并借鉴以前报告指南的发展,一组国际瑜伽研究利益相关者制定了基于共识的检查表,以标准化瑜伽干预措施报告(CLARIFY)指南。
21 项 CLARIFY 清单概述了高质量报告瑜伽研究所需的最低详细信息。本文详细解释了 CLARIFY 清单的 21 个项目中的每一个,并提供了如何将每个项目整合到瑜伽研究出版物中的模型示例。CLARIFY 指南是现有研究报告指南的扩展,并且可以灵活应用于所有研究设计。
我们强烈鼓励研究人员和期刊采用这些报告指南,以提高瑜伽研究的透明度和实用性。
