Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...
Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...
The Scientific Method02:40

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.
Structuralism01:26

Structuralism

Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.
Titchener's approach to structuralism was unique. He employed introspection, a method...
Case Studies01:22

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Current clinical documentation systems may not adequately support longitudinal patient care.
  • The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) provides guidelines for formulation.
  • There is a need to improve the quality of clinical information for ongoing patient management.

Observation:

  • Formulation practices in clinical settings can be variable.
  • Existing documentation systems present challenges for capturing a comprehensive patient history.
  • A gap exists in structured approaches for long-term mental health formulation.

Findings:

  • A novel five-paragraph structured formulation schema is introduced.
  • The proposed schema facilitates a longitudinal perspective in clinical documentation.
  • An illustrative example of the structured formulation is provided.

Implications:

  • Implementing a structured longitudinal formulation can enhance mental health service delivery.
  • This approach offers benefits for consumers with severe and enduring mental illnesses.
  • The schema should inform the design of future clinical information systems.
