“…Prior surveys were in-person interviews or questionnaires, which introduced the possibility of responder biases. Such surveys, particularly when questioning respondents about highly sensitive health information, introduce responder and non-responder bias, respectively [22,23]. While some studies utilized MTurk to recruit patients to another survey site, none have used MTurk as their survey engine.…”

BackgroundThere are many challenges in conducting surveys of study participants, including cost, time, and ability to obtain quality and reproducible work. Cloudsourcing (an arrangement where a cloud provider is paid to carry out services that could be provided in-house) has the potential to provide vastly larger, less expensive, and more generalizable survey pools.ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to evaluate, using Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk), a cloud-based workforce to assess patients’ perspectives of health care.MethodsA national online survey posted to Amazon's MTurk consisted of 33 multiple choice and open-ended questions. Continuous attributes were compared using t tests.ResultsWe obtained 1084 responses for a total cost of US $298.10 in less than 3 days with 300 responses in under 6 hours. Of those, 44.74% (485/1084) were male and 54.80% (594/1084) female, representing 49 out of 50 states and aged 18 to 69 years.ConclusionsAmazon’s MTurk is a potentially useful survey method for attaining information regarding public opinions and/or knowledge with the distinct advantage of cost, speed, and a wide and relatively good representation of the general population, in a confidential setting for respondents.

“…From our study's findings, we suggest that healthcare professionals provide couples who have experienced recurrent miscarriage with opportunities to clarify what recurrent miscarriage is and express their feelings and share their experiences on self‐care after the miscarriage; and further, assist these couples to transform their negative emotions to positive feelings and actions. Although Kong et al () failed to justify the effects of a two‐session supportive counselling programme for women following miscarriage in Hong Kong, based on our findings and prior surveys (Musters et al, ; Sugiura‐Ogasawara, Nakano, Ozaki, & Furukawa, ), a supportive care protocol for couples experiencing recurrent miscarriage, such as support groups, counselling, or individual supportive care, merits further investigation.…”

Aim Recurrent miscarriage is considered a major life event. The main purposes of this study were to compare the differences in stress, anxiety, social support, sleep quality and depressive symptoms in couples experiencing recurrent miscarriage compared to peers who experience full‐term normal childbirth in southern Taiwan. Methods Convenience sampling and snowball sampling were used respectively to recruit 78 couples with and 80 couples without recurrent miscarriage from October 2014 to July 2015. Five structured questionnaires including Perceived Stress Scale, State‐ Anxiety Inventory, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Edinburgh Depression Scale were administered. Results Women who experienced recurrent miscarriage perceived significantly higher levels of stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms than their husbands. Women in the recurrent miscarriage group reported significantly greater depressive symptoms than women of the other group. A stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated key predictors of depressive symptoms among women of childbearing age, accounting for 62.9% of the variance, were anxiety, stress, social support and history of recurrent miscarriage. Conclusion Women with recurrent miscarriage suffer mild to moderate depressive symptoms and a greater incidence of depression than their peers who experienced normal childbirth. Health professionals can use the knowledge gained from these findings to evaluate women with recurrent miscarriage for stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms and develop supportive interventions.
