12. FEATURES OF A GOOD DESIGN
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
17. RESEARCH PLAN
⢠After identifying and defining the
problem as also accomplishing the
relating task, researcher must arrange
his ideas in order and write them in
the form of an experimental plan or
what can be described as âResearch
Planâ
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
18. Why this is essential?
⢠Because :
⢠It helps him to organize his ideas in a form
whereby it will be possible for him to look for
flaws and inadequacies, if any.
⢠It provides an inventory of what must be done
and which materials have to be collected as a
preliminary step.
⢠It is a document that can be given to others for
comment.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
19. Research plan must contain the following
items.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
22. Meaning /concept
⢠Data collection planning is a process
to ensure that the data you collect
for performance improvement are
useful and reliable, without being
unnecessarily costly and time-
consuming to obtain.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
23. Data collection planning has a variety
of benefits:
⢠It helps to ensure that the data gathered
contain real information, useful to the
improvement effort.
⢠It prevents errors that commonly occur
in the data collection process.
⢠It saves time and money that otherwise
might be spent on repeated or failed
attempts to collect useful data.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
24. Types of data: Generated data
Surveys
Checklists
Interviews
Outside observers
Photo evidence
Tape/video recordings1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
25. Developing a data collection plan
First write down a statement of
your question. Then answer the
following questions:
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
26. Developing a data collection plan
â˘What do you need to know?
â˘What types of data will provide
you with the information that you
need?
â˘What types of data are already
available to you (existing archival
sources and other artifacts)?
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
27. Developing a data collection plan
⢠What types of data do you need to
generate?
⢠What instruments will you need to
generate and collect data?
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
29. A SOUND DATA COLLECTION PLAN:
THREE PHASES-FIVE STEPS
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
30. Pre-Data Collection Steps
1. Clearly define the goals and objectives
of the data collection.
2. Reach understanding and agreement
on operational definitions and
methodology for the data collection
plan.
3. Ensure data collection (and
measurement) repeatability,
reproducibility, accuracy and stability.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
31. During Collection Steps
4. Follow through
with the data
collection process
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
33. Step 1: Define Goals And Objectives
A good data collection plan should include:
⢠A brief description of the project
⢠The specific data that is needed
⢠The rationale for collecting the data
⢠What insight the data might provide (to a
process being studied) and how it will help the
improvement team
⢠What will be done with the data once it has
been collected1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
34. Step 2: Define Operational Definitions
and Methodology
Formulate the scope of the data collection:
⢠How many observations are needed.
⢠What time interval should be part of the
study.
⢠Whether past, present, and future data
will be collected.
⢠The methodologies that will be employed
to record all the data.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
35. Step 3: Ensuring Repeatability, Reproducibility,
Accuracy and Stability
⢠The data being collected (and measured) will be
repeatable if the same operator is able to reach
essentially the same outcome multiple times on
one particular item with the same equipment.
⢠The data will be reproducible if all the
operators who are measuring the same items
with the same equipment are reaching
essentially the same outcomes.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
36. ⢠The degree to which the measurement
system is accurate will generally be the
difference between an observed average
measurement and the associated known
standard value.
⢠The degree to which the measurement
system is stable is generally expressed by
the variation resulting from the same
operator measuring the same item, with
the same equipment, over an extended
period1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
37. Step 4: The Data Collection Process
⢠Once the data collection process has
been planned and defined, it is best to
follow through with the process from
start to finish, ensuring that the plan is
being executed consistently and
accurately.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
38. Step 5: After The Data Collection Process
⢠Referring back to the question of whether or
not the data collection and measurement
systems are reproducible, repeatable, accurate,
and stable.
⢠Reviewing the operational definitions and
methodology with the participants should help
to clear up any misunderstandings or
misinterpretations that may have caused the
breakdowns.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
39. Guidelines and Recommendations for Data
Collection
⢠Use multiple data sources.
⢠Collect existing archival data
immediately, then move to
conventional and inventive sources.
⢠Collect data regularly.
⢠Seek technical assistance
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
40. Points to keep in mind
⢠Keep it simple;
⢠Pay attention to both quantitative
and qualitative data;
⢠Schedule time to organize data;
⢠Discuss the data with âcritical
friendsâ; and
⢠Seek technical assistance.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
41. Check of data collection plan
⢠Is there congruence between your
question and the data sources that you
identified?
⢠Are you using multiple data sources to
clarify the picture being developed?
⢠Are you gathering data frequently
enough so that it can be used to inform
your current practice as well as your
future actions?
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
42. Check of data collection plan
⢠Are you collecting data about how
students/faculty/administration/paren
ts feel and perceive their experiences?
⢠Are you collecting data about how
you feel and perceive your
experiences?

1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
46. 3.Selecting and developing instruments
ďśIdentifying potential data collection
instruments
ďśAssess the appropriateness
ď§Is it conceptually relevant?
ď§Whether the instrument will yield data of
sufficiently high quality?
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
47. Other criteria in selecting an
instrument
⢠Resources: Resources constraints sometimes
prevent the use of the high âquality measures(
eg: Cost of instruments).
⢠Availability & Familiarity
⢠Norms & Comparability: Norms âNormal
values and distribution of values (standardized
test and scales)
⢠Population appropriateness: Keep the
characterstics of the target population
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
48. 4.Pretesting the data collection package
⢠Purpose :
⢠To determine how much time it will take to
administer
⢠Whether participants find any burdensome
⢠Determine needs for training data collection
staff.
⢠Determine whether sequencing of
instruments is sensible.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
49. 5.Developing data collection forms
&procedures
⢠Forms for screening potential participants to
determine their eligibility.
⢠Informed consent forms
⢠Records of attempted contacts with
participants
⢠Forms for recording the actual data.
⢠Develop data collection protocol: spell out the
procedure to be used in the data collection.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
50. 6.Implementing data collection plan
Selecting research
personnel.(who will collect data?)
Training data collectors
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
53. SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE
METHOD FOR DATA COLLECTION
⢠While selecting the method
keeping in view the following
factors:
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
54. 1. Nature, scope and object of enquiry:
⢠This factor is important in deciding
whether the data already available
(secondary data) are to be used or the
data not yet available (primary data) are
to be collected.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
55. 2. Availability of funds
⢠Finance, in fact, is a big
constraint in practice and the
researcher has to act within
this limitation.
1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
56. 3. Time factor:
⢠Availability of time has also to be
taken into account in deciding a
particular method of data
collection.
⢠Some methods take relatively more
time, whereas with others the data
can be collected in a comparatively
shorter duration.1/13/2016 Research .MSc Nursing 1st year
