Surveys provide evidence for the social sciences for knowledge, attitudes, and other behaviors, and, in health care, to quantify qualitative research and to assist in policymaking. A survey-designed research project is about asking questions of individuals, and, from the answers, the researcher can generalize the findings from a sample of respondents to a population. Therefore, this overview can serve as a guide to conducting survey research that can provide answers for practitioners, educators, and leaders, but only if the right questions and methods are used. The main advantage of using surveys is their economical access to participants online. A major disadvantage of survey research is the low response rates in most situations. Online surveys have many limitations that should be expected before conducting a search, and then described after the survey is complete. Any conclusions and recommendations are to be supported by evidence in a clear and objective manner. Presenting evidence in a structured format is crucial but well-developed reporting guidelines are needed for researchers who conduct survey research.
调查为社会科学提供了知识、态度和其他行为的证据，在医疗保健领域，用于量化定性研究并协助制定政策。调查设计的研究项目是关于向个人提出问题，并且，从答案中，研究人员可以从受访者样本中推断出总体的发现。因此，本概述可以作为进行调查研究的指南，为从业者、教育者和领导者提供答案，但前提是使用了正确的问题和方法。使用调查的主要优势是可以经济有效地在线获得参与者。调查研究的主要缺点是在大多数情况下回复率低。在线调查有许多限制，在进行搜索之前应该预料到这些限制，然后在调查完成后进行描述。任何结论和建议都应以清晰客观的方式用证据支持。以结构化格式呈现证据至关重要，但进行调查研究的研究人员需要制定完善的报告指南。
