To fully understand the events leading to a diagnosis, retrospective recall can help nurse researchers reconstruct important health behavior-related events. However, retrospective recall can be a challenge. Key event mapping offers nurse researchers a method beyond retrospective chart review to elicit date data to explore the pre-diagnosis time frame of an illness. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the key event mapping method to nurse researchers in search of a method of eliciting date data from participants when designing research studies that include a retrospective recall component.
为了全面理解导致确诊的事件，回顾性回忆有助于护理研究人员重构与健康行为相关的重要事件。然而，回顾性回忆可能是一项挑战。关键事件映射为护理研究人员提供了一种超越回顾性病历审查的方法，以获取日期数据，从而探究疾病的诊断前时间框架。本文旨在向护理研究人员介绍关键事件映射方法，这些研究人员在设计包含回顾性回忆部分的研究时，正在寻找一种从参与者那里获取日期数据的方法。
