Managing missing and erroneous data in nurse staffing surveys

CONCLUSION: Managing missing data effectively and reporting procedures transparently reduces the possibility of bias in a study's results and increases its reproducibility. Nurse researchers need to understand the methods available to handle missing and erroneous data. Surveys must contain unambiguous questions, as every participant should have the same understanding of a question's meaning.IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE: Researchers should pilot surveys - even when using validated tools - to ensure participants interpret the questions as intended.PMID:36994632 | DOI:10.7748/nr.2023.e1878
