Resumen

CASCAES DA SILVA, Franciele et al. Evaluation lists and scales for the quality of scientific studies. Rev. cuba. inf. cienc. salud [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.3, pp.295-312. ISSN 2307-2113.

The objective of this study was to identify the scales of the methodological quality assessment of scientific articles and checklists of information quality in the area of health. It was performed two basic procedures: a) systematic review of the scientific literature available in the databases Web of Science, Journals@ovid, Science Direct, Scopus, SportDiscus, Mary Ann Liebert Journals Online and Oxford, with selection of the articles published in the last five years and indexed in English; b) bibliometric review in the articles previously selected in the systematic review, without setting time or Language. We selected studies that accounted for 14 scales and their modifications, plus 11 checklists. Therefore, one can conclude that the scales and lists differ in the number of items, validity, reliability and score range and most have valid and reliable psychometric properties. It was also found that these scales and checklists are applicable to empirical studies, especially randomized controlled trials, and revisional studies, principally meta-analysis, both in pursuit of methodological quality as the quality of information.

Palabras clave : scales; evaluation in health research; methodology; information.
