Data Collection I

6.0K
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...

The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

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...

Data Reporting and Recording

4.6K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Data Collection II

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...

Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.
An astronomer viewing the motion and brightness of stars in the sky and recording the data is an example of observational data collection. A botanist recording...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • COVID-19 pandemic shifted data collection to tele-remote methods.
  • This shift excluded individuals lacking technology access or digital literacy.
  • Vulnerable populations, including people who use opioids, were disproportionately affected.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and necessity of in-person data collection for people who use opioids during the pandemic.
  • To highlight the challenges faced by this population in participating in remote research.
  • To advocate for equitable data collection practices in public health.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted in-person surveys with people who use opioids in New York City between June and September 2020.
  • Recruited participants through street intercepts and at syringe service programs.
  • Implemented safety measures including masks and physical distancing for outdoor surveys.

Main Results:

  • 329 individuals participated, with an average age of 45.8 years.
  • A significant portion experienced housing instability (65.9%) and lacked regular smartphone access (51.1%).
  • Demographic data included 69.6% male, 32.6% Hispanic/Latino/a, and 22.3% Black participants.

Conclusions:

  • Many participants struggled with basic needs and lacked resources for tele-remote research.
  • In-person engagement can build trust and overcome technology/comprehension barriers.
  • Centering equity requires including under-engaged groups in data collection for informed policies and programs.
