Exploiting the nursing minimum data set for the Netherlands.

Abstract

The purpose of this overview is to examine and illustrate the feasible options for the statistical analysis of the Nursing Minimum Data Set for the Netherlands. Distinct purposes for information use and for the presentation of information require different approaches for data collection and data analysis. Several explorative studies are discussed, illustrating their goals, data collection methods, data analysis and results. The overview ends with general recommendations for data collection and analysis of nursing minimum data sets.

Probability estimation when some observations are grouped.

This paper considers the use of additional questions for decreasing survey non-response rates and an approach for estimating a probability based on the results obtained. In a survey, the respondents are asked to answer an original question and follow-up questions, where the answers for the follow-up questions are grouped answers for the original question. For example, respondents are asked to provide an exact number of incidents, but in cases of 'Do not know' or 'Refuse' responses, they are subsequently asked to pick an answer from a less specific categorical scale. The new estimator obtains smaller variance asymptotically and does not depend on a distribution family. This method is applied to income questions in a survey regarding injury prevention and behaviours. Another application is survey data on intimate partner violence, where some amendments were applied for incorporating post-stratification weights and for using non-random grouping. For additional illustration, an example of parameter estimation on artificially generated data is presented.
