    Study Notes

    Computer-Assisted Interviewing

    • CASI (Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing): Research subjects answer questions on a screen by selecting their response with a keyboard.
    • CATI (Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing): A telephone interviewer reads each question from a computer screen, and the answer is entered through the keyboard.
    • CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing): Laptop computers allow interviewers to use automatic branching, insert text, randomize question order, and perform on-line editing and consistency checking.

    Advantages of Computer-Assisted Interviewing

    • Automatic branching reduces errors from incorrectly followed skip patterns.
    • Text can be inserted into later questions.
    • Question order and response categories can be automatically randomized.
    • On-line editing and consistency checking allow interviewers to check data during the interview.
    • Typing is faster than writing for capturing answers to open-ended questions.

    Considerations on Using Computer-Assisted Interviewing

    • Each question is restricted to the size of the computer screen.
    • Provision must be made for nonstandard movement through the questionnaire.
    • A major consideration is the upfront cost in time and money to acquire the hardware and develop the software.

    Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KKD)

    • Offers a step in extracting usable information from large data sets.

    Application of Informatics on Research

    • Relevance: Speed - faster production of finished work, and greater ease of revision.
    • Data collection: Literature of researches, online full-text information services like OVID, and Google Scholar.

    Preparation of Research Documents

    • Text editing facilities: Standard software packages like Microsoft Word or WordPerfect have become sophisticated and easy to use.
    • Benefits of computerized methods: Accuracy - reduced costs and fewer errors resulting from repeated retyping of the manuscript.

    Computer-Assisted Data Gathering

    • Researchers use technology to manage the data gathering process.
    • Facts (or data) originate with the patient.

    Computer-Assisted Interviewing

    • Three types of CAI: Hardware, software, and organizational.
    • Hardware security: Concerned with protective features, including hardware identification, isolation, access control, surveillance, and integrity.
    • Refers to the legal right of the owner of intellectual property.
    • WHOIS database: A database that stores domain registration information.
    • Netiquette: Network etiquette, including remembering the human, behaving ethically, familiarizing oneself with the technology, and respecting others' time and bandwidth.

    Data Analysis

    • Data mining: Semi-automatic exploration and analysis of large quantities of data.
    • Quantitative analysis: Software packages include BMPD, EPINFO, SAS, MINITAB, SPSS, and DataDesk.
    • Five fundamental criteria: Capabilities, portability, ease of learning, reliability, and cost.
    • Qualitative analysis: Software applications for qualitative test analysis, including Textbase Alpha and AQUAD.

    Graphics

    • Pictorial representations greatly assist the investigator's progress in interpreting data.

    Information Security

    • Definition of terms: Privacy, personal information, controller, personal information processor, and confidentiality.
    • Criteria for lawful processing of personal information: Consent, contract, vital interest, and information security.
    • Security risk: System penetration, unauthorized users, errors, disasters, viruses, worms, and malicious programs.
    • Security mechanism: Software approach, including authentication and auditing, and organizational approach, including policy development and dissemination.

    Laws in Nursing Informatics

    • Loss of public confidence, question of personal safety, infringement of personal privacy, failure to meet legal obligations, and commercial confidentiality.
    • Intellectual property law: RA 8293 of 1998.
    • Three approaches to protecting data usage integrity, privacy of personal and public domains.
