Question

Locate a nursing study that utilizes some aspect of the internet (for instance, for recruitment, delivery of an intervention, or completing online assessments. What challenges did the researchers face, and how were these challenges overcome (or not)? How could future research efforts be improved?

Answer 1

Low recruitment accrual is one of the most commonly cited barriers in clinical research and less fruitful than expected recruitment results in reduced power and/or truncated follow-up periods. Suboptimal recruitment accrual on social media may occur for several reasons. For example, the target population may not use social media in large numbers; it may be due to a mismatch between the target population and the social media platform demographic profile of users, or it may be due to the overall presentation (e.g., colors, graphics, language) used in the recruitment process .

To improve on it in future either the researchers should ensure that the population have access to social media or should provide the access to social media .
