Data Collection I01:30

Data Collection I

6.1K
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 III

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...

Cross-Sectional Research

11.3K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Surveys

14.7K
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.

Data Collection II

8.1K
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...

Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

7.5K
The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Patient Engagement

Background:

  • Patient portals are increasingly used for accessing personal health information online.
  • Understanding user needs is crucial for optimizing digital health tools.
  • Variability in patient portal feature utilization exists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify features currently used in patient portals.
  • To determine patient needs for desired features and data.
  • To inform the design of more effective patient portals.

Main Methods:

  • Survey data collected at a Midwestern state fair.
  • Analysis of patient portal feature usage.
  • Assessment of desired features and data for patient portals.

Main Results:

  • 22 features currently in use within patient portals were identified.
  • Significant variation in the use and desirability of specific patient portal features was observed.
  • Key needs identified include enhanced data access, improved portal functionality, and better usability.

Conclusions:

  • Patient portal adoption is widespread, but user preferences differ significantly.
  • Specific user-identified needs can guide future patient portal development.
  • Optimizing patient portal design requires a focus on data access, functionality, and user experience.
