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.

Case Studies

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.

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus: Comparing...

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Social Loafing

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated, individuals become less...

Data Collection II

Data Collection II

The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and family,...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Clinical Competency Assessment

Background:

Pre-registration nursing students must adhere to the Nursing and Midwifery Council's (NMC) code of conduct.
Students are expected to meet specific standards of competence during clinical placements.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the critical role of mentors in managing student performance during clinical placements.
To emphasize the importance of timely intervention for students at risk of failing.

Main Methods:

The abstract discusses the responsibilities of mentors in assessing student performance.
It highlights the necessity of effective communication and interview techniques.
It implies a review of NMC standards and their application in practice.

Main Results:

Prompt mentor intervention, including interim interviews, is crucial for students struggling with competencies.
Adequate mentor support is vital for addressing placement difficulties.
Failure to meet required competency or professional behavior standards necessitates failing the student.

Conclusions:

Mentors play a pivotal role in ensuring nursing students achieve required competencies.
Effective management of underperforming students upholds professional standards in nursing.
Clear protocols for assessment and intervention are essential for student success and patient safety.
