PURPOSE This study aimed to suggest a more suitable study design and the corresponding reporting guidelines in the papers published in the Journal of Educational Evaluation for Health Professionals from January 2021 to September 2022. METHODS Among 59 papers published in the Journal of Educational Evaluation for Health Professionals from January 2021 to September 2022, research articles, review articles, and brief reports were selected. The followings were analyzed: first, the percentage of articles describing the study design in the title, abstracts, or methods; second, the portion of articles describing reporting guidelines; third, thetypes of study design and corresponding reporting guidelines; and fourth, the suggestion of a more suitable study design based on the study design algorithm for medical literature on interventions, systematic reviews & other review types, and epidemiological studies overview. RESULTS Out of 45 articles, 44 described study designs (97.8%). Out of 44, 19 articles were suggested to be described with more suitable study designs, which mainly occurred in before-and-after studies, diagnostic research, and non-randomized trials. Of the 18 reporting guidelines mentioned, 8 (44.4%) were considered perfect. STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) was used for descriptive studies, before-and-after studies, and randomized controlled trials; however, its use should be reconsidered. CONCLUSION Some declarations of study design and reporting guidelines were suggested to be described with more suitable ones. Education and training on study design and reporting guidelines for researchers are needed, and reporting guideline policies for descriptive studies should also be implemented.

在 2021 年至 2022 年 9 月发表在《卫生专业教育评估杂志》上的文章中建议更合适的研究设计和相应的报告指南：一项描述性研究。

目的 本研究旨在为 2021 年 1 月至 2022 年 9 月发表在《卫生专业人员教育评估杂志》上的论文提出更合适的研究设计和相应的报告指南。方法 在《卫生专业人员教育评估杂志》上发表的 59 篇论文中2021年1月至2022年9月，入选研究论文、评论文章、简报。分析了以下内容：首先，在标题、摘要或方法中描述研究设计的文章的百分比；第二，文章描述报告指南的部分；第三，研究设计的类型和相应的报告指南；第四，基于干预医学文献的研究设计算法提出更合适的研究设计建议，系统评价和其他评价类型，以及流行病学研究概述。结果 在 45 篇文章中，44 篇描述了研究设计 (97.8%)。在 44 篇文章中，有 19 篇文章被建议使用更合适的研究设计进行描述，主要发生在前后研究、诊断研究和非随机试验中。在提到的 18 项报告指南中，有 8 项 (44.4%) 被认为是完美的。STROBE（加强流行病学观察研究的报告）用于描述性研究、前后研究和随机对照试验；但是，应该重新考虑它的使用。结论 一些研究设计和报告指南的声明建议用更合适的方式描述。需要对研究人员进行研究设计和报告指南方面的教育和培训，
