Surveys

16.2K
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.

Errors and Mistakes in Surveying01:19

Errors and Mistakes in Surveying

355
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...

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

245
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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Mental Health Research
  • Epidemiological Survey Methodology

Background:

  • Successful large-scale surveys depend on insights gained from pilot studies.
  • Implementing national mental health surveys requires robust instrumentation and methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document lessons learned in instrumentation and survey methods from a pilot national mental health survey in Nepal.
  • To refine tools and techniques for improved data collection in mental health research.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional pilot study involving 1,647 participants (≥13 years) across three districts in Nepal.
  • Utilized Nepali-translated Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) 7.0.2 (DSM-5) for structured diagnostic interviews.
  • Incorporated questionnaires on help-seeking behavior and barriers to care access.

Main Results:

  • A six-step translation and cultural adaptation process was employed for survey instruments.
  • Pretesting identified challenges in tool administration and strategies to minimize reporting bias.
  • Adaptations included the addition of bridging sentences to enhance module transitions.

Conclusions:

  • The pilot survey highlighted critical areas for improvement in survey tools, techniques, and overall methodology.
  • Recommendations derived from pilot findings facilitated the successful implementation of the subsequent Nepal national mental health survey.
