“…Especially at T2, response rates were under 70%. Although such declines in response rates are usual for longitudinal studies (Udtha, Nomie, Yu, & Sanner, 2015), they still affect the representativeness, generalizability and applicability of the sample (Badger & Werrett, 2005).While no nursing textbooks make overall recommendations about desirable rates (Badger & Werrett, 2005), other meta-analyses studies which included nurses (Cho, Johnson, & Vangeest, 2013) have reported an average longitudinal response rate of 51%. Also, by using mixed models instead of ANOVAs, list-wise deletion was avoided.…”

Aims To investigate the effectiveness of bedside handovers. For nurses, effects on nurse–patient communication, individualized care, coordination of the care process, job satisfaction, intention to leave, patient participation and work interruptions were measured. For patients, effects on patient activation, individualized care and quality of care were measured. Design This is a longitudinal, controlled, multicentred study on 13 nursing wards in five hospitals. The seven interventional wards consisted of two medical rehabilitation, two geriatric and three surgical/medical wards. Methods A questionnaire for patients and nurses at baseline (May–June 2016), 3 (July–August 2017) and 9 months (December 2017–January 2018) after implementation was completed by 799 patients and 165 nurses. Per protocol analysis was used in combination with linear mixed models analysis. Results With exception for work interruptions and patient participation for nurses, no overall effects could be found for both patients and nurses. For nurses, patient participation increased, and work interruptions decreased in the intervention group. Individualized care remained stable in the intervention group, whereas it decreased in the control group. Conclusion The results indicate that bedside handover can be regarded as superior to more commonly used handover models as it enhances patient participation and decreases work interruptions. However, the positive image of bedside handovers, mostly based on observational, short‐term and single‐centred experiences, cannot be confirmed as there were no effects on any of the other measured parameters. As bedside handovers put patient participation on the agenda and negative effects are absent, implementing bedside handovers should be considered a mean for more patient‐centeredness instead of a goal itself.

“…For example, the effectiveness of online data collection may be quite dependent on not only the proportion of the cohort who own a Smartphone but also on the functionality of online questionnaires when completed on Smartphones. It is a challenge for methodological research to keep up with new and emerging data collection tools [30] .…”

ObjectivesCohort studies must collect data from their participants as economically as possible, while maintaining response rates. This randomized controlled trial investigated whether offering a choice of online or paper questionnaires resulted in improved response rates compared with offering online first.Study Design and SettingEligible participants were young people in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) study (born April 1, 1991, to December 31, 1992, in the Avon area). After exclusions, 8,795 participants were randomized. The “online first” group were invited to complete the questionnaire online. The “choice” group were also sent a paper questionnaire and offered a choice of completion method. The trial was embedded within routine data collection. The main outcome measure was the number of questionnaires returned. Data on costs were also collected.ResultsThose in the “online first” arm of the trial were less likely to return a questionnaire [adjusted odds ratio: 0.90; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.82, 0.99]. The “choice” arm was more expensive (mean difference per participant £0.71; 95% CI: £0.65, £0.76). It cost an extra £47 to have one extra person to complete the questionnaire in the “choice” arm.ConclusionOffering a choice of completion methods (paper or online) for questionnaires in ALSPAC increased response rates but was more expensive than offering online first.

“…Methods typically used for data collection in qualitative research include interviews and focus groups (either online, face‐to‐face, or by phone), participant diaries, or observations of interactions, including use of video to record day‐to‐day practice or events (Udtha, Nomie, Yu, & Sanner, ; Wilkerson, Iantaffi, Grey, Bockting, & Rosser, ). Advancements in digital and mobile technology are producing alternative methods for data collection with the benefits of smartphones, tablets, applications, and cloud‐based storage (Chan, Torous, Hinton, & Yellowlees, ; Dhiliwal & Salins, ; Faulds et al., ; Wilcox et al., ); however, they also bring design, implementation, and ethical challenges that need careful consideration.…”

Purpose: This article explores the development and evaluation of a smartphone mobile software application (app) to collect qualitative data. The app was specifically designed to capture real-time qualitative data from women planning a vaginal birth after caesarean delivery. This article outlines the design and development of the app to include funding, ethics, and the recruitment of an app developer, as well as the evaluation of using the app by seven participants. Organizing Construct: Data collection methods used in qualitative research include interviews and focus groups (either online, face-to-face, or by phone), participant diaries, or observations of interactions. This article identifies an alternative data collection methodology using a smartphone app to collect realtime data.
