Surveys

14.8K
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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Hand surgery literature frequently uses questionnaires, but nearly half of studies employ nonvalidated instruments. Improved survey design and reporting are crucial for reliable patient-centered outcomes and physician practice research.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Hand Surgery
  • Medical Research Methodology

Background:

  • Questionnaire-based research is prevalent in hand surgery.
  • Ensuring robust survey design is critical for meaningful research outcomes.
  • This study evaluates the application and quality of questionnaire use in hand surgery literature.

Approach:

  • A systematic review of questionnaire-based studies published from 2010-2020 in four major American journals.
  • Assessed the validation status of survey instruments and categorized study topics.
  • Examined reporting practices for nonvalidated instruments to identify bias mitigation strategies.

Key Points:

  • 354 studies were reviewed; 52.5% used validated instruments, 27.7% used nonvalidated instruments.
  • Validated instruments primarily focused on patient-reported outcomes (84.9%).
  • Nonvalidated instruments were more frequently used for physician practice (44.9%) and education (13.3%), with significant reporting gaps (e.g., 74.5% lacked predistribution testing).

Conclusions:

  • Survey research is common in hand surgery, with 46% of studies incorporating nonvalidated elements.
  • Inconsistent disclosure of bias-limiting techniques in nonvalidated survey studies was observed.
  • Recommendations for improvement include pilot testing, full survey publication, and enhanced reporting on sampling and response rates.
