Area Of Science
- Health Services Research
- Nursing Informatics
- Survey Methodology
Background
- Mixed-mode survey designs enhance data collection by combining web, phone, face-to-face, and mail methods.
- Benefits include increased engagement, improved access, and higher response rates in survey research.
- This protocol explores health IT (HIT) maturity and nurse practitioner (NP) care environments in US nursing homes (NHs).
Purpose Of The Study
- To describe a research protocol utilizing mixed-mode survey designs for US nursing home research.
- To investigate health IT maturity and NP care environments using two distinct survey tools.
- To optimize data collection strategies for administrators and NPs in nursing home settings.
Main Methods
- A national survey of 1400 nursing home administrators and NPs was conducted.
- Two surveys were employed: one for HIT maturity (administrators) and one for NP care environments (NPs).
- Iterative focus groups informed the selection of mixed-mode designs (Delayed Concurrent, Sequential for administrators; Concurrent for NPs).
Main Results
- Participant recruitment commenced in June 2023, with 98 HIT maturity surveys and 81 NP surveys returned by April 2024.
- Electronic links were the primary submission method for both surveys (71% for HIT maturity, 95% for NP surveys).
- Recruitment is ongoing through July 2025.
Conclusions
- Mixed-mode survey designs (delayed concurrent, concurrent, sequential) expedite recruitment compared to single-mode methods.
- Single-mode strategies offer less versatility and adaptability, potentially lowering response rates.
- Mixed-mode approaches are effective for recruiting diverse participants in nursing home settings.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:
Long-Term Care Facilities
• Purpose: Documentation in long-term care facilities is critical for interprofessional resident assessment and planning. It ensures that all aspects of a resident's care - from medical needs to daily living assistance - are thoroughly...
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
