SURVEYS
Hello everyone. This week I will be discussing surveys and I will show you the presentation that I put together on Movenote. I will post a link so that you can evaluate my presentation by completing a survey.
Surveys are an integral part of evaluating new technology and to receive feedback on ways to improve. Surveys allow for answers to specific and important questions to be discussed. There are four main reasons why businesses and researchers conduct surveys. They are listed below!
1. Uncover the answers: You can learn about the respondents and what is important to them. Depending on the type of survey, one can attain meaningful information (opinions, comments, feedback) that is useful. An example is that a respondent may be more honest if the survey is online or on paper rather than face-to-face.
2. Evoke discussion: In order to gain a better perspective it is important to spark up a discussion about what it is that you are trying to improve on. Communication with the respondent is key in obtaining feedback.
3. Base decisions on objective behavior: Collecting unbiased surveys can help to make decisions that are based on those topics of importance. Analyzing the results can help to save time and resources.
4. Compare results: Surveys are snapshots of the attitudes and behaviors of the targeted survey population. One survey can be used as a baseline benchmark when compared to other surveys that will be conducted in the future.
With all that being said this information can be applied to the implementation of new technology. After a new system or device comes out it is beneficial that feedback be reviewed. Hearing the concerns of what works and what doesn't can help to facilitate changes to better meet the needs of the healthcare staff.
This week I created a presentation on simulation technology. Below you will find the link to view the recorded presentation along with a survey for you to complete. I would appreciate your honest feedback to better future presentations. Thank you all for watching!

Surveys are definitely an integral part of education. It allows the student to feel they can give feedback in hopes to better the course as well as for the instructor to learn from and grow. Feedback as an instructor can be difficult, especially if it is not constructive feedback. It is important to not dwell on the negative comments but learn from the ones that you can and really listen, especially if you see a trend. I look forward to watching your presentation and taking your survey.

I agree with Jenny. Surveys especially if anonymous can be harsh. Incivility is a big issue in nursing and with nursing students. Some people feel entitled to tell you how they feel with little regard to professionalism. Using standardized surveys for example the Casey-Fink survey for new graduate nurses have been proven to give more scientific results. Of course it is difficult to find a standard survey for all courses.
