目的：经验抽样法（ESM）是一种在真实的世界环境中评估临床现象的有价值的方法。尽管有其理论优势，但在精神病人群中使用这种方法具有挑战性。本文作为一个指导研究人员希望采用这种方法时，调查mental illness.Method：内容代表的意见，研究人员在英国和荷兰谁是经验丰富的使用ESM.Results：在ESM研究中，参与者被要求填写有关他们目前的想法，感受和经验的问题时，提示的电子设备（例如手表，PDA）。通常在6天内以固定或随机间隔进行测试。本文概述了如何设计和验证ESM日志。然后，我们讨论使用哪种抽样程序，以及如何通过有效的简报和电话会议来提高依从性。汇报，数据管理和分析问题被认为是，在未来的临床用途的ESM的建议made.Conclusion：在过去的十年中已经看到了在临床研究中采用ESM的研究数量的增加。需要进一步的研究来检查不同临床组的最佳设备和程序。
Objective:The experience sampling method (ESM) represents a valuable way of assessing clinical phenomena in real world settings and across time. Despite its theoretical advantages, using this methodology in psychiatric populations is challenging. This paper acts as a guide to researchers wishing to employ this approach when investigating mental illness.Method:The contents represent the opinions of researchers around the United Kingdom and the Netherlands who are experienced at using the ESM.Results:In ESM studies, participants are required to fill in questions about their current thoughts, feelings and experiences when prompted by an electronic device (e.g. a wristwatch, PDA). Entries are typically made at fixed or random intervals over 6 days. This article outlines how to design and validate an ESM diary. We then discuss which sampling procedure to use and how to increase compliance through effective briefing and telephone sessions. Debriefing, data management and analytical issues are considered, before suggestions for future clinical uses of the ESM are made.Conclusion:The last decade has seen an increase in the number of studies employing the ESM in clinical research. Further research is needed to examine the optimal equipment and procedure for different clinical groups.
