There is a tendency for novice researchers to develop their own instrument if they cannot readily find one. How might you respond to a peer or manager who asks you to help develop a new tool to collect patient data on anxiety prior to cardiac catheterization?
Even as novice researchers may develop their own instruments to facilitate data collection they may not be aware of the reliability and validity of the instrument. The novice researcher would require extensive research work to identify an appropriate instrument, and this extends to the trial and error approach. The novice researcher may need to spend more time before making the final decisions on the instrument to be used. As such, if a novice researchers are requested to identify an instrument that focuses on anxiety prior to cardiac catheterization. It is necessary to have prior knowledge with other instruments or research work to identify an effective data collection tool.
There is a need to reduce patient anxiety before cardiac catheterization to improve the health outcomes and effectiveness of the intervention. Researchers who collect patient data on anxiety before cardiac catheterization identify the most effective strategies that reduce the level of anxiety and reduce complications. The guided imagery and massage a...
