Developing operational definitions involves a systematic process:
Literature Review: Conduct a thorough review of existing literature to understand how terms have been defined previously. Expert Consultation: Collaborate with experts in the field to gain insights and reach a consensus on definitions. Pilot Testing: Test the definitions in a small-scale study or clinical setting to assess their clarity and applicability. Refinement: Based on feedback and results, refine the definitions to ensure they are precise and practical.
