The World Mental Health surveys have been known to apply high standards of quality control, but few studies have been published to document this. Furthermore, the effectiveness of quality control has rarely been reported in the Middle East.
The focus of this paper was to highlight the implementation of quality control procedures in the Saudi National Mental Health Survey under the World Mental Health Survey Consortium. The paper summarizes the guidelines implemented for the various phases of survey quality control-the quality assurance procedures, the quality control procedures and the quality control appraisal components-as per previously prescribed recommendations in literature.
Survey quality management is a process and not reducible to a single event. Midstream corrections are warranted by detecting problems and intervening appropriately. The Saudi National Mental Health Survey implemented such procedures through continuous quality improvement.
世界心理健康调查以采用高标准的质量控制而闻名,但很少有研究发表来记录这一点。此外,中东地区很少报告质量控制的有效性。
本文的重点是突出在世界心理健康调查联盟下沙特国家心理健康调查中质量控制程序的实施情况。本文根据文献中先前规定的建议,总结了为调查质量控制的各个阶段实施的指导方针——质量保证程序、质量控制程序和质量控制评估组成部分。
调查质量管理是一个过程,不能简化为单一事件。通过发现问题并进行适当干预,进行中期纠正很有必要。沙特国家心理健康调查通过持续质量改进实施了此类程序。
