Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Data Collection by Survey01:07

Data Collection by Survey

The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...
Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.
Types of Surveys01:27

Types of Surveys

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

Area of Science:

  • Health outcomes research
  • Patient-reported outcome measurement

Background:

  • Patient-reported outcome measurement (PROM) is integral to comprehensive outcomes research.
  • Researchers can develop new instruments or select from existing ones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a systematic quality assessment process for previously developed patient-reported outcome instruments.
  • To guide clinicians and researchers in selecting validated instruments matching their needs.
  • To inform the development and refinement of new instruments.

Main Methods:

  • Summarizes best practices for assessing previously developed patient-reported outcome instruments.
  • Proposes a quality assessment system with specific criteria.

Main Results:

  • The proposed system aids in determining the suitability of existing instruments.
  • The criteria can guide the development and refinement of new instruments.
  • Facilitates better assessment of patient-reported outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • A systematic quality assessment is essential for selecting and developing patient-reported outcome instruments.
  • The proposed criteria enhance the evaluation of instrument validity and appropriateness.
  • This framework supports the evolution of high-quality patient-reported outcome measurement.
