Data Collection II01:29

Data Collection II

10.1K
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 I

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...

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 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...

The physical assessment examines the patient for objective data that defines the patient's condition, and aids in formulating the nursing care plan. The purpose of physical assessment is a health status appraisal, which includes identifying health problems, and establishing a database for nursing intervention.
The principles to begin the physical assessment include conducting a comprehensive or problem-related history in a quiet, well-lit room, emphasizing privacy and comfort for the...

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Research Informatics
  • Data Management Systems

Background:

  • Electronic data collection offers advantages over paper-based methods.
  • Existing electronic tools are often costly, limiting their use in high-budget research protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the use of Adobe Acrobat Forms and Dropbox for clinical data collection.
  • To present a low-cost electronic data management solution for research.

Main Methods:

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro was used to create personalized forms for data capture.
  • Dropbox facilitated the distribution and storage of electronic clinical protocols.
  • Data analysis involved gathering completed forms from the central researcher's file.

Main Results:

  • Sixteen forms were created for diverse clinical applications.
  • An average of only 1.2% of fields were missing across all forms.

Conclusions:

  • The Adobe Acrobat Forms and Dropbox combination provides a simple, low-cost electronic data collection system.
  • This method requires minimal informatics expertise and achieves goals similar to more expensive systems.
