Surveys

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.

Robbers Cave

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension could be...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

Area of Science:

Military Medicine
Operational Health
Deployment Studies

Background:

The Army Medical Department Lessons Learned Division sought to understand challenges faced by small units during recent deployments.
Previous research has not fully captured the nuanced experiences of small unit service members post-deployment.

Purpose of the Study:

To gather feedback from small unit service members on predeployment and operational challenges.
To identify factors influencing service members' views on deployment issues.

Main Methods:

An online survey was administered to personnel from company-sized units, teams, and detachments redeployed within 12 months.
Data collection occurred between July and September 2011.

Main Results:

Service component, assigned unit, and geographic location were significant variables influencing perceptions of deployment challenges.
Specific operational and predeployment experiences impacted service members' feedback.

Conclusions:

Understanding the influence of service component, unit, and location is crucial for addressing deployment challenges.
Recommendations are proposed for enhancing the collection of small unit insights and lessons learned from military operations.
