Surveys

16.8K
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.

Introduction to Surveying, Plane Surveying and Geodetic Surveys

1.0K
Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

What is Variation?

18.4K
Apart from the measures of central tendency, distribution, outliers, and the changing characteristics of data with time, an important characteristic of any data set is its variation or spread. In some data sets, the data values are concentrated closely near the mean; in others, the data values are more widely spread out from the mean.
The range, standard deviation, standard error, and variance are the different measures of variation.
Range: The range is the difference between its maximum and...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Hernia Repair Techniques
  • Medical Standardization

Background:

  • The Lichtenstein Repair (LR) is the global gold standard for inguinal hernia repair due to its simplicity, reproducibility, and suitability for local anesthesia.
  • Worldwide adoption of LR has led to numerous variations, with unclear impacts on recurrence and chronic pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate variations in the Lichtenstein Repair (LR) technique.
  • To identify factors contributing to the divergence of LR methods.
  • To assess the influence of modifications on hernia repair outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of seven major surgery textbooks.
  • A 17-question survey distributed to 90 surgeons across 19 hospitals in Austria and Slovenia.
  • Analysis of surgeon responses regarding critical steps of the LR.

Main Results:

  • Significant variations exist in textbook descriptions and surgical practice of the LR.
  • Over 50% of surgeons reported trimming pre-formed meshes, potentially compromising inguinal coverage.
  • Routine patient follow-up is frequently lacking post-Lichtenstein Repair.

Conclusions:

  • The term "Lichtenstein Repair" now broadly covers diverse anterior mesh techniques.
  • Adherence to evidence-based principles of the original LR is vital for minimizing recurrence and chronic pain.
  • Standardization of the LR technique is essential for accurate and comparable data in research and registries.
