Data Collection II01:29

Data Collection II

10.4K
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...

Data Collection by Survey

9.5K
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...

Data Collection by Observations

Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.
An astronomer viewing the motion and brightness of stars in the sky and recording the data is an example of observational data collection. A botanist recording...

Data Collection I

8.9K
Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...

Data collection is a systematic method of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. An experimental study is a standard method of data collection that involves the manipulation of the samples by applying some form of treatment prior to data collection. It refers to manipulating one variable to determine its changes on another variable. The sample subjected to treatment is known as “experimental units.”
An example of the experimental method is a public...

Archival Research

17.5K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Qualitative Research
  • Mixed Methods Research

Context:

  • Interviews are a cornerstone of data collection in scientific research.
  • Existing literature often treats 'interview' as a monolithic method.
  • Nursing science, with its diverse methodologies, requires a nuanced understanding of interview techniques.

Purpose:

  • To delineate the various interview types employed in nursing science.
  • To highlight the adaptability of interviews to different research questions and contexts.
  • To provide clarity on the methodological diversity within interview-based nursing research.

Summary:

  • The term 'interview' encompasses a wide array of data collection techniques.
  • Different interview structures (e.g., structured, semi-structured, unstructured) are suited for distinct research aims.
  • Recognizing these distinctions is crucial for rigorous qualitative and mixed methods research in nursing.

Impact:

  • Enhances the methodological rigor of nursing research.
  • Guides researchers in selecting appropriate interview strategies.
  • Contributes to a clearer understanding of qualitative data collection in health sciences.
