What are Common Sources of Recall Bias in Nursing?
Recall bias can arise from various sources in nursing, including:
Patient Memory Issues: Patients may forget details about their medical history or lifestyle habits. Social Desirability: Patients may alter their responses to align with what they think is socially acceptable. Time Lapse: The longer the time between the event and the recall, the more likely inaccuracies will occur. Complex Medical Histories: Patients with multiple health conditions may struggle to accurately recall specific details.
