To assess the satisfaction levels of graduates of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland University of Bahrain (RCSI Bahrain). The graduate survey was administered to four groups of graduates of the RCSI Bahrain who graduated between the years 2010 and 2014. The graduate survey assessed five major domains and comprised 41 items. The RCSI Bahrain opened its doors in 2004, with the first class ...

This paper reports on the development and validation of a survey instrument for measuring the culture of Quality Management (QM) in K-12 educational settings. The intent was to develop an instrument that would tap both the behavioral norms and the underlying values and beliefs associated with a Quality culture. The process used in the development and honing of this measurement instrument includ...

Ground-based Folurier Transform infrared (FTIR) instruments are being produced at the University of Wisconsin (UW) and the Unliversity of Denver (UD) for the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program's Cloud and Radiation Te:stbed (CART) sites as part of a joint Instrument Development Program (lOP). The three instrument types under development are summarized in Table 1 . For each ARM site...

Surveys can be used in the evaluation of telemedicine applications but they must be properly designed, consistent and accurate. The purpose of the survey and the resources available will determine the extent of testing that a survey instrument should undergo prior to its use. The validity of an instrument is the correspondence between what is being measured and what was intended to be measured....

This paper presents the development process of an inter-organizational social capital survey to evaluate collaborative networks. The survey instrument construction was based on three main sources. The first one, was a deep literature research that covered social capital and collaborative network issues. The second, a meta-analysis from well-known journals basically taken from the Business Sourc...

Establishing the validity of health behavior surveys used in community-based participatory research (CBPR) in diverse populations is often overlooked. A novel, group-based cognitive interviewing method was used to obtain qualitative data for tailoring a survey instrument designed to identify barriers to improved cardiovascular health in at-risk populations in Washington, DC. A focus group-based...

This paper describes a systematic and multidisciplinary approach to developing evidence-based standards and guidelines of user interface design for mobile survey instruments. The approach includes five major components: project team, systematic literature review, mobile user model, standards development, and guidelines development. A multidisciplinary project team was assembled to ensure adequa...

T he National Airspace System (NAS) handles more than 55,000 daily flights, which use 12,300 instrument approach procedures. These instrument approach procedures allow pilots to navigate safely into airports in reduced-visibility weather conditions by following specified flight courses, turns, and minimum altitudes. Over the past decade, the number of instrument procedures for aircrafts has gro...

background & aim : nurses are exposed to the changing demands in technology as they execute their patient-related duties in the workplace. integration of information technology (it) in healthcare systems improves the quality of care provided. nursing and midwifery students with prior exposure to computers tend to have a positive influence of it. this study was carried out to determine the attit...
