How Can Nurses Apply Awareness of Recall Bias in Clinical Practice?
Nurses can apply their understanding of recall bias in several practical ways:
Be cautious when interpreting historical data from patients and consider potential inaccuracies. Use electronic health records and other objective data sources to verify patient-reported information. Educate patients on the importance of maintaining accurate health records and encourage them to keep personal health diaries. Incorporate strategies to minimize recall bias in their own clinical research and quality improvement projects.
