Using Google to Survey PNPs About Agricultural Safety
Summary
Pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) need more training on agricultural safety for children. A needs assessment revealed a gap in PNP curricula regarding agricultural health hazards and available resources.
Area of Science:
- Agricultural health and safety
- Pediatric nursing
- Continuing education
Background:
- Children and youth in agricultural settings face significant health risks.
- Existing pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) education often lacks comprehensive agricultural safety training.
- There is a need to enhance PNP knowledge on agricultural health hazards and available resources.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the need for a continuing education unit (CEU) for PNPs.
- To increase PNP knowledge regarding agricultural safety for children.
- To explore the utility of Google products in educational research.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study was conducted.
- A national needs assessment was performed.
- Google Forms and Google Sheets were utilized for survey distribution and data collection.
Main Results:
- 315 surveys were returned, with 91% received within the first week.
- The use of free Google tools facilitated efficient data collection and cost savings.
- A significant gap in agricultural safety knowledge was identified among PNPs.
Conclusions:
- Agricultural safety is inadequately represented in current PNP curricula.
- PNPs lack awareness of existing agricultural safety resources.
- There is a strong interest among PNPs in pursuing continuing education on agricultural safety.

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

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.

Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

Errors and mistakes in surveying refer to inaccuracies in measurements and data recording. The errors are deviations from the actual value caused by human sensory limitations, equipment flaws, or environmental effects. These errors are typically unintentional and can result from the inherent imperfections in the instruments used, atmospheric conditions, or the observer’s inability to perceive exact measurements. On the other hand, mistakes are caused by the surveyor's lack of...

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...
