Abstract

With the increasingly widespread application of Internet technology in nursing research,including digital literature retrieval and scientific data sharing,online surveys have emerged as a predominant trend,gradually replacing traditional paper-based methods. Online surveys utilizing the checklist for reporting results of internet e-surveys(CHERRIES) offer a standardized framework for related research,boasting advantages such as rapid data collection,automated data entry,and reduced potential for human error,thereby facilitating the acquisition of high-quality results. This paper provides an in-depth interpretation and analysis of the eight sections and 30 items outlined in the CHERRIES checklist,aiming to establish a foundation for more systematic and standardized online survey research in China.
