标准化患者（SP）的使用-从当地社区招募的人，以盲法向多个提供者提供相同的病例-越来越多地用于衡量低收入和中等收入国家的护理质量。受到人们对SP方法日益增长的兴趣的鼓舞，并根据我们进行SP研究的经验，我们提出了使用该方法的研究设计和调查的概念框架。我们伴随着具体的例子，从我们的经验与SP研究在低收入和中等收入的背景下，包括中国，印度，肯尼亚和南非，突出的方法的多功能性，并说明持续的挑战的概念框架。一个工具包和手册，用于执行特殊目的研究包括作为一个伴侣件在网上补充。
The use of standardised patients (SPs)-people recruited from the local community to present the same case to multiple providers in a blinded fashion-is increasingly used to measure the quality of care in low-income and middle-income countries. Encouraged by the growing interest in the SP method, and based on our experience of conducting SP studies, we present a conceptual framework for research designs and surveys that use this methodology. We accompany the conceptual framework with specific examples, drawn from our experience with SP studies in low-income and middle-income contexts, including China, India, Kenya and South Africa, to highlight the versatility of the method and illustrate the ongoing challenges. A toolkit and manual for implementing SP studies is included as a companion piece in the online supplement.
